Chapter 44

Andy was more than shocked by Jennifer's kiss. He just couldn't believe that she has this courage. When Andy finally came home, he saw that Sharon was waiting in the living room, but she seemed upset. He threw the keys and walked toward her, looking at her intently as she looked at him with anger.

"I didn't expect that you'll wait for me." he said quietly, touching her face, but Sharon backed away.

"I can't believe that you're lying in this way." she said angrily and swallowed the lump in her throat. Andy couldn't understand what she was talking. He squeezed her shoulder, forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Sharon, what's happening? I've never lied to you." he confused.

"Lie!" Sharon almost shouted, "You're lying again! I saw very well what happened in the parking lot. I watched your conversation with Jennifer and you kissed each other. What do you think?" Andy took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. He moved to Sharon, but she pulled back again.

"Sharon, believe me, I have no guilt. When I was in the parking lot, suddenly Jennifer stood before me and asked to talk to Nicole. I couldn't refuse because of my daughter. Then we started arguing and suddenly she kissed me. I didn't expected that. " he said innocently. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Maybe I'm not sure if I should believe you. I'm not sure about what is happening to us. The only thing I wanted was a happy family with you and our children. But you love to hurt my heart." she said bitterly, while Andy was wiping her tears.

"Sharon, I beg you, don't talk like that. I love you and you know it very well. I don't want Jennifer or anyone else to stand between us and ruin our happy life. I don't want that." he said quietly and plaintively. Sharon took a deep breath and shook her head.

"But I saw the kiss."

"Sharon, stop talking about this kiss! I have no guilt and you know this very well. Your jealousy jumped all boundaries!" he shouted angrily. At this point, the babies started to cry and Sharon went into the nursery without saying anything more. Andy decides to follow her, but seeing Maddie before him, he couldn't. He smiled softly and knelt in front of his daughter.

"Dad, what happens? It's okay, right?" the little girl asked sadly. Andy nodded and kissed her softly on the forehead.

"It's okay, honey. Don't worry. Look, while your mother reassure the twins, I'll take you to your room. You need sleep." he said firmly and took Maddie in his arms and went to her room. Sharon managed to soothe the newborns, but she was still angry. She put the twins in their crib and turning, she again saw Andy. They looked at each other coldly for several minutes, then Andy came over to Sharon and looked at the babies.

"I am glad that they're more relaxed now." he said quietly. Sharon sighed and shook her head.

"But our conversation is not over. Come with me into the bedroom." she said sternly and Andy immediately followed her. Sharon immediately locked the door and stood in front of Andy, watching him with indescribable anger. Andy hated the fact that Sharon doesn't believe him. But he wasn't to blame for the fact that Jennifer had kissed him.

"What are you talking about? Sharon, why you do problem every time? The fact that Jennifer kissed me means nothing."

"Doesn't mean anything? You're so calm? But I'm not. You know what, I can't tolerate such a thing. That to me is a big problem because I saw that you also return this kiss!"

"Sharon, enough! I hate to argue with you. I'm tired of these disputes." he said angrily and grabbed her arm. Sharon pulled away.

"But we do just that since we met. What do you want me to do? To be calm seeing all that is happening before my eyes?" she asked sharply.

"I want your faith. Sharon, you don't believe me and it hurts me terribly much. You might not realize it, but you hurt me every time when you don't believe me. I've never loved anyone as much as you. You're the woman that I love and that will not change. I don't want my ex-wife to be a problem between us. " he said firmly, and covered her face with his hands, looking into her green eyes with love nonetheless. Sharon wanted to flee his eyes, but she failed.

"I don't know. I feel weird. Maybe it was a momentary anger, but I can't forget the scene that was in front of me. Andy, I can't forget it. Maybe you don't have guilt, but ..."

"What? You keep thinking that I have guilt? Sharon, I can't believe it. You're just selfish and nothing more." He broke off abruptly.

"You know what, maybe we can't be together. I feel tired. We're not married or engaged. Then what is the problem? Everyone is free, right? I have no right to want an explanation from you." she said firmly, but behind her words there was pain. Andy couldn't believe that he had a dispute with Sharon because of Jennifer. But the fact that Sharon didn't believe him, hurt his heart deeply.

"What do I do? To take the children from you?" he asked angrily.

"I will never let you that. They are my children."

"They are our children, Sharon!" he interrupted angrily, "Stop being so selfish!" Suddenly, Sharon gave him a slap. Andy touched his cheek and looked at Sharon colder than ever. Without saying anything more, he immediately grabbed his jacket and went outside. Sharon didn't regret her words, but maybe this slap was wrong thing to do. Andy decides to tell everything what happened to Provenza and Andrea. They were also shocked about what they hear.

"My God, you had a dispute because of Jennifer?" Andrea asked, confused.

"Absolutely. Sharon likes to make trouble. She is perfect for that. Who knows, maybe it's a mistake to be together. But the kids between us will always be a wall. Because of my anger, I even yelled that I can take the custody. " He answered quickly, touching his cheek. Provenza's eyes widened.

"You'll take the children from Sharon? My God, you're crazy! You two don't know what you want. Don't tell me that because of this dispute you'll stop loving Sharon." Provenza said dissatisfied. Andy took a deep breath and shook his head.

"I don't know. I still love Sharon, but I can't forgive this slap. I didn't wish my ex-wife to be a problem between me and Sharon, but she definitely wants it." he said with bitterness and swallowed the lump in his throat. Provenza and Andrea looked at each other sadly. They didn't want another separation. All night, Sharon hadn't slept. Maybe she regretted that damn slap. She didn't know what to think. The next morning, she feed her babies while Maddie was having breakfast in the kitchen. The little girl looked at her mother sadly.

"Mommy, where's daddy?" she asked softly.

"I have no idea, honey. Don't worry, he'll come soon." Sharon said indifferently, although she wasn't sure whether he'll return after everything that had happened last night. On the other hand, Andy was still thinking about his dispute with Sharon. Learning what happens to Sharon and Andy, Brenda decided to talk to Andy, and approached his desk.

"Lieutenant Flynn, let's talk in my office." she said firmly and Andy immediately followed her, knowing what they'll talk ...
