"Andy, how can you ask me such a thing? Of course I love you. For me, Jack doesn't mean anything. You know very well that he's never been a good husband or father. You know that my heart belongs to you. But I'm just confused and don't know what to do. I handed divorce papers, but until this is over will take some time. I'm not sure if you'll wait for me so long to be together. " Sharon said sadly and sighed.

Andy hushed quietly, saying, "Sharon, don't talk like that. I'll always be with you, whatever happens. Besides, you don't have to live with him until the divorce is over. If you want, you can move in with me . What would you say?" Sharon smiled softly, realizing Andy's love. His offer was pretty good, but she wanted to start her life with Andy purely, without shadows from the past.

"Andy, I know you want to be together right now, I do too. But I want this divorce to be completed to allow us to begin our lives purely without shadows from the past. I know it'll be difficult, but if we've already together, whatever are the circumstances, never mind. " she said softly, stroking his face. Andy smiled softly and squeezed her hand.

"Sharon, I think we have to forget about it for a little while. You know, I have an idea. By the lunch break is short, let's go to a restaurant to be able to talk more calmly. Actually, I need to be alone with you. " he said, grinning and kissed her cheek. Sharon smiled, looking around and agreed. As she went into her office, Andy returned to his desk. Provenza looked at him carefully.

"Well, you look pretty happy." he remarked sarcastically. Andy grinned, answering, "Of course Provenza. I'll go to a restaurant with Sharon. If I have to admit, I never thought that someone would make me so happy. I feel happy with Sharon." Provenza nodded, looking at the documents in front of him.

"Good for you, you're my friend. But still, I think you have to be careful. She's married and her husband may want to prevent your happiness. Don't forget that she's still married and can leave you, to be with her husband again, who knows. " He warned cautiously. Andy rolled his eyes and looked at him dissatisfied with anger.

"Provenza, we know that. Sharon and I are happy together. Moreover, Sharon handed divorce papers. Soon she'll be free and we can start purely, without shadows from the past. I know, it's a little strange to you that we have relationship, as we've always been like a dog and cat, but I assure you that this time it'll not happen. " he said firmly and sat back. Provenza nodded and shrugged. Nevertheless, he wanted his friend to be happy.

Sharon was sitting in her office thoughtfully. She had a lot of problems, because now Jack was back in LA, somehow. She loved Andy and wanted to be with him in all circumstances, but she had to divorce Jack at all costs. She no longer tolerate to live with him, especially when he knew about her new relationship. He well knew that Andy is her subordinate and she was convinced that he would do everything possible to ruin her happy life, as ever.

Andy looked at his watch and walked into her office with a smile, but seeing that she's quite distracted, he immediately approached her and squeezed her shoulder. Sharon looked at him with a sad smile. He knelt before her and looked into her green eyes. She took a deep breath and bit her lip. Fortunately, all were in a lunch break and no one could interrupt them.

"Sharon, what's wrong? You look pale." he asked anxiously. Sharon sighed and answered softly, "No, no problem. Just thinking about my future and my past that come back. I mean Jack. Andy, I'm convinced that he'LL try to ruin our happy life." Andy hushed and kissed her forehead gently.

"Sharon, he can't do anything. I'm here with you, whatever happens and will always support you. But if you don't want to be hungry, I think you have to hurry." he said with a smile. Sharon smiled and took her coat. Andy took her hand and they walked to the nearest restaurant. While sitting in the restaurant, the situation was the same. Sharon doesn't touched her plate while Andy watched her carefully. He squeezed her hand.

"Sharon, what's up? You don't even touched your plate. Please, you have need of healthy eating. If you still think about this Jack, please stop. I told you that you're not obliged to live with him. You can move in with me. My offer is still valid. " he told her encouragingly. Sharon smiled and shook her head.

"No, Andy. I want first to solve this problem with Jack. Furthermore, our relationship began just before some weeks. I can't put aside everything at once. I have to talk to Emily and Ricky about my divorce with their father and about my new relationship with you. But it is quite difficult. " she confessed and sighed wearily.

"They'll be against your divorce with their father?" Andy asked immediately. Sharon shook her head, answering, "No, of course not. They won't be against my divorce, because they know our problems with their father. What bothers me is that they can't accept my relationship with you." Andy looked at her more confused than ever.

"But why? They certainly want their mother to be happy. I'm confident that they'll take our relationship normally. Sharon, we love each other and I think they'll be happy with this, as Nicole." he assured her. Sharon smiled and nodded slightly.

"Thank you. I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you, now everything is much easier. I love you." she said softly. Andy smiled, saying, "I love you too." He kissed her gently and they continued with their lunch.

In the evening, Jack was sitting on the couch in the living room with a bottle of wine in hand, as always, he was drunk. Sharon simply didn't know what kind of picture she'll meet again. She entered the apartment and threw her keys tired but walking into the living room, her eyes widened. Jack was lying on the couch with a glass of wine on him and a bottle of wine on the ground. She quickly picked up the bottle and throw it away, throwing a pillow at him and looked at him with anger.

"Jack, what's going on? Do you have an explanation?" she asked angrily. Jack opened his eyes and stood up, saying, "You ask me what happens? Nothing. It's all your fault." Sharon gritted her teeth in anger and sat beside him.

"Don't be ridiculous. You're to blame for everything. You're now talking nonsense. You're drunk!" she almost shouted. She can hardly be restrained for not gave him a slap. Jack held her against him, saying with anger, "You're still my wife. I won't let you be with that man. Never!" Sharon pulled away from him.

"Don't you dare talk that way about Andy. You know what, between you and him is a huge difference. When he was with me I feel relaxed and loved like never before. He gives me his support and love that you never gave me. You don't even been a good father to your children. Now you have no right to talk to me that way. Soon, our divorce will end. I can't wait for this day. " she said firmly and went to her bedroom, leaving Jack to look into the void. Yes, he was drunk. Yes, he had made many mistakes, but he regretted. He would fight for Sharon whatever happens. His eyes filled with tears and he leaned back, closing his eyes hopes that he'll be able to win Sharon back before their divorce.
