Dumping 343
It's dinner time. Sharon finished her livestream, stretched lazily, and slowly went downstairs.
Irene helped Ethan bring the cooked dishes to the table in the dining hall. "Trene, sit down and eat. Ethan cheerfully pulled out a chair. Irene didn't need Ethan to carry her. She climbed onto the chair herself and sat up straight and proper.
Ethan put various dishes into her little square bowl, adding some rice. Irene ate heartily, making Ethan laugh repeatedly. His heart warmed at how sensible his granddaughter was
"You're much more well-behaved than your mom was when she was your age, he said, gently patting Irene's head, his eyes filled with affection.
Irene enjoyed Ethan's affectionate touch until she spotted Sharon. "Mommy, come quick! Grandpa made lots of delicious food again today!" she exclaimed loudly,
Sharon walked over and indeed saw the table full of new dishes. Irene proactively scooped a large forkful of food into Sharon's bowl. "Mommy, eat,"
she said.
"Baby, you can too,
Sharon added another forkful of food to her bowl. She also served Ethan, saying, "Dad, you eat"
"Alright, okay,"
y Ethan was delighted that his daughter and granddaughter were so sensible. He continued to pat Irene's head gently. "Enjoy your meal"
Irene nodded eagerly but didn't immediately start eating. Instead, she turned towards Sharon and lifted her chin. "Mommy, I want to learn figure skating
"Figure skating?" Sharon was stunned, looking at her.
Irene nodded eagerly, her head bobbing up and down. "Mr. Randall and Mommy skating together looks so cool. Irene wants to skate, perform, and be known like Mr. Randall"
Sharon had considered enrolling Irene in learning a specialty but hadn't felt rushed due to her young age. Now that Irene was expressing interest alone, there was naturally no reason to refuse.
"Sure." Sharon nodded. "It doesn't matter if you can be like Mr. Randall What matters is that Irene enjoys learning.
"Yay!" Irene cheered, fist pumping in excitement as she heard Sharon's approval. Her big eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint like her scheme was
The next day was the weekend. Sharon took frene to a reasonably large skating rink. After registering, Irene went off with a female coach to practice. Sharon sat idle, unable to leave, so she took out her phone to handle some straightforward tasks.
"Mommy, Mommy." In less than ten minutes, Sharon felt her sleeve being tugged. She turned to see Irene in a pink skating outfit snuggled upNôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"What's wrong"" Sharon gendy patted Irene's head "Why aren't you practicing with your coach?
"I don't want to practice with the coach. Irene pouted her lips and puffed out her cheeks. "I think Mommy skates better than the coach. I want Mommy to teach me."
Sharon couldn't help but glance at the coach in the distance. These coaches were all teaching beginners, so their skills were average.
"Mommy, please teach me, Irene pleaded, tugging at Sharon's deeve earnestly. Her voice was soft and sweet, accompanied by pleading eyes that immediately melted Starom heart.
With nothing else to do, Sharon found the coach and explained the situation. The coach had no objections. Sharon then bought skating shoes and
atture, thanged, and began teaching Irene at the edge of the skating rink.
"Daddy" Irene suddenly called out while Sharon was teaching, pointing vigorously in one direction.
"How cumcidental" On the other side, Edwin and a man who looked like a coach walked over. They exchanged a glance with Irene and then looked
Is Daddy here to skate too frene pretended to be surprised, looking at the clothes he was wearing
Edwin, usually seen in formal attire, now wore sportswear. The brige sports outht hugged his slender, tall frame, accentuating his clean, pale complexion. He appeared less aloof than usual but still exuded a handsome and compelling sdemeanor.
"Daddy looks so handsome Irene exclaimed, giving Edwin a thumbs up without hesitation. Then she busily nudged Sharon. "Mommy looks

beautiful too."
Edwin's gaze followed Irene's voice and landed on Sharon. Sharon wore a white sports outfit, her face pristine and tanned. Her facial features were charming and pure. Her hair was tied up high, making her look even younger. Seeing her beautiful figure, Edwin swallowed hard, and his eyes darkened
"Ah, it's a family affair," the coach remarked, observing their interaction. In that case, I'll leave you all to chat with that, the coach walked away.
Irene winked mischievously and spoke crisply, "Daddy arrived just in tinse. Mommy's teaching
me to skate. You can ask her to teach
you too!
"Mommy teaching trene already breaks the rules here, so I can't teach anyone else, Sharon said, seeing through Irene's intentions. "Mr. Stanley, you should find a certified coach. With that, she took Irene's hand and said, "Let's go Seeing her plan fail, Irene blinked regretfully at Edwin, then followed Sharon as they left.
Sharon continued skating with Irene for a few inore Laps. She thought Edwin would either leave or find a coach. However, when they returned, she saw him standing alone, gripping the rail. Edwin wasn't comfortable skating, even with the rail for support, as he swayed unsteadily. Nevertheless, he let go and attempted to glide forward.
Before Edwin could take steps, he tumbled and fell with a thud. Sharon was speechless. She had assumed Edwin might manage a few steps, but he lacked even the most basic skills.
The sound of his fall i
just now was quite loud, audible from several feet away. Sharon couldn't help but wince in sympathy for him. However, Edwin quickly got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and prepared to continue skating, taking another step forward.
He hadn't even moved when he fell to the ground with a loud thud. After that, it turned into a repeated cycle of falling. The sound of thuds continued incessantly.
Sharon and Irene would frown and squint their eyes every time he fell. She thought he would give up after one fall. After all, falling so awkwardly was embarrassing, especially for someone like him, who seemed aloof and dignified. She was sure he would avoid it altogether. Turns out, she was
wrong
"Mommy, why don't you go help Daddy!" Irene couldn't bear to watch any longer. She shook Sharon's sleeve again, her eyes welled up, almost on the verge of tears. Having fallen before, Irene knew how painful it could be. If only she hadn't suggested this idea and caused Edwin to get hurt.
Sharon hadn't seen Edwin in such a sorry state for a long time. Even back when he was blind and would occasionally lose his temper, it wasn't as bad as this. The falls were no joke, each movement seemed slower than the last, yet Edwin gritted his teeth and remained silent. Clearly in pain, he clenched his jaw so tightly it seemed deformed, veins bulging with sweat shimmering in the light. His neatly styled hair was now disheveled and soaked with sweat.
"Let me teach you. Before Sharon could respond, a girl appeared within her line of sight.
She reached out to Edwin, her eyes fixed on his face, displaying admiration. She had frequented the ice rink and seen many elite individuals, but none were as striking as the man before her. Handsome men, even in disarray, have a captivating allure. The girl looked at him intently, intensely wanting to engage with him.
"Get lost Edwin shouted without even glancing at her.
The girl was speechless; she thought, Tim pretty and have a good figure. Every time I come here, people usually approach me first. How could someone yell at me like that? Her eyes welled up with tears, and she skated away,
Edwin sat up, propping himself up with one hand. Instead of attempting to stand, he turned towards Sharon's direction. Though he didn't look directly at her, his expression was pleading, silently calling out to her. Sharon was inexplicably reminded of how their dog sought attention at home.
several girls approached Edwin again, offering help or even reaching out to assist him. However, whenever their eyes met him, they were intimidated by his cold, piercing gaze. Despite his handsome appearance, his intense sture was enough to send shivers down their spines. It was best to hurry away.
