Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 115

Stanley had the ointment in his hand. When he saw her coming over, he started to apply the ointment on her and said, "Let's go downstairs to have breakfast first. I'll take you to the office after that."

When Sharon was about to speak, Stanley interrupted her with a frown, "Listen to me and don't argue with me. Be good."

Sharon pouted. "How do you know that I won't agree?"

"I know what you're going to say when you open your mouth."

She squinted in dismay.

After applying the ointment to her, Stanley patted her head and said like he was patting a pet, "Go get changed and have breakfast."

"Okay."

She responded, and then Stanley turned around and went out.

Sharon patted her face, feeling as if her relationship with him had returned back to when they used to be, and those quarrels had disappeared without a trace overnight.

After thinking about it, she thought, "Maybe this is how a married life is like."

"With noise and drama, ups, and downs."

When Sharon finished breakfast, Stanley was already waiting for her outside.

Her eyelid was still twitching. Sharon muttered to herself and Hazel heard her.

Hazel comforted her with a smile. "Madam, don't believe in these things. It's inaccurate. It's not right. What other disasters can there be? You patched up with Young Master, didn't you?"

She saw them chatting and bickering when they were having breakfast just now which looked very harmonious and lovely.

Sharon thought about it and agreed with her. She shouldn't believe in such superstitious things.

Her eyelid was twitching probably because she didn't sleep well and was under a lot of pressure in the past two days.

As for other things, she decided to throw them out the window so as not to cause more trouble.

As for the grudge between Liam and Stanley... No matter what kind of grievance they had against each other, it had nothing to do with her. Her only job was to play the role of Mrs. Jones decently.

As for Stanley and Rebecca, she didn't need to dwell on it. It was just a matter of the past, so she didn't have to mind it.

After all, she would divorce him in the future.

A year later, handing him the divorce papers was her final ending.

A year would soon pass.

When they left for the company, Sharon received a phone call from the hospital. The last time Dr. Wallace suddenly called in, something happened to her father. Did something happen again this time?

She immediately picked it up. "Hello, Dr. Wallace. How is my dad?"

"Miss Cruz, your father is fine."

Sharon breathed a sigh of relief.

Confused, she asked, "Then why did you call me?"

Dr. Wallace faltered as he was hesitating whether to say it or not.

"What's the matter? Dr. Wallace, just tell me."

"Well, Miss Cruz. Mr. Jones has ordered me to take extra care of your father, so I go to the ward almost every day to check on him. These two days, I found a suspicious person outside his ward..."

A suspicious person?

Sharon frowned. "Are they the two women last time?"

"No, it's not a woman. It's a man."

A man?

Sharon was stunned.

"That man appeared yesterday and had been standing at the door. When I went to check on your father at night, he left. This morning, he came again, standing at the door quietly, and didn't go in. I don't know what he wanted to do."

Sharon was even more suspicious. "He didn't do anything to hurt my father, did he?"

Dr. Wallace shook his head and said, "No."

Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If that person appears again, please let me know, Dr. Wallace. I'll go and have a look."

"Okay."

Dr. Wallace hung up the phone.

Stanley asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Sharon thought about it and told him what had just happened.

"A man?" Stanley squinted at her. "Which man did you hook up with again this time?"

Sharon wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death. "What man? I don't know him at all, okay?"

Stanley smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. Sit down. I'm driving."

Remembering the beast element in his body which always loved the speed and scare people, Sharon quickly put on her seat belt.

Her life was the most important thing.

When they were about to arrive at the company, Sharon motioned for Stanley to stop. "Just park by the roadside. I'll walk to the company."

"Crack!" There was a loud noise.

The doors were locked.

Sharon reached out to push the door open and was dumbfounded. "Why do you lock the door?"

Stanley squinted at her and said, "Why are you so afraid of being known to go to the company with me?"

Sharon nodded without hesitation. "Of course. No one wants to appear in front of my colleagues with you, okay? I'll drown in the gossips."

Stanley looked at her unhappily.

Sharon realized that she must have hurt his self-esteem by saying those things.

"Ahem, I mean, if we suddenly go to the company together and let my colleagues see us, they would definitely wonder the nature of the relationship between us. Would you like to see me reduced to the object of public gossip?"

Sharon said as she blinked her eyes pitifully. "You don't want it, do you?"

But she overestimated Stanley's pity on her. He simply said coldly, "They gossip about you, not me. What does it have to do with me?"

Hiss.

She wanted to smack him again!

Sharon grabbed his arm and said, "Please let me out of the car. I really don't want to be the center of gossips!"

Stanley glanced at her fair and clean hands.

"Do you know how scary gossip is? Do you know how terrifying women's speculation is? Do you know that if those colleagues in the office know our relationship, their gossipy saliva can drown me..."

"Enough!"

Stanley interrupted her. He bet she would probably burst into tears if she went on.

Sharon looked at him eagerly and said, "Honey, you won't make things difficult for me, will you?"

Stanley said with a forced smile, "How can you be sure that I won't?"

"Because you are a good person."

Everyone loved flattery, so Sharon kept on complimenting him, "Just look at the past. We didn't know each other, yet you appeared in front of me like a knight to save the damsel, which was me, in distress. Only prince charming does things like this! So of course you are a good person!"

Stanley narrowed his eyes. "Prince charming only appears in fairy tales. If I'm not mistaken, are you implying you are gorgeous?"

Sharon pursed her lips, speechless.

She didn't expect he could have such wild imagination.

"You know that I don't mean that..."

"That's enough." Stanley waved her off. "Get out of the car. Don't explain."

After that, he unlocked the car door.

"Yes, sir."

As soon as she got her freedom, she immediately pushed the door open and went out.

Stanley locked his deep glance on the girl running in the morning light.

She was almost late to work. Fortunately, she ran so fast that she successfully punched in at the last minute.

As soon as Sharon sat down on the chair, Janice patted her on the shoulder. "Sharon."

"What is it?"

Sharon looked up at her.

Janice narrowed her eyes. "Just now, near the station, I think I saw you get out of Mr. Jones' car. Was that you?"

Her question sent chills down her spine.

Sharon did not panic. Instead, she smiled and said, "Since I can't hide my love affair with the president anymore, I will simply make it public today. Yes, you are right. The woman who got out of Mr. Jones' car was me. To tell you the truth, I had already married him a year ago."

Janice stared at her for a long time, and finally reached out and touched her forehead. "You didn't have a fever, did you?"

"Why? Don't you believe me?"

Janice tapped the table and said, "Of course I don't believe you. It sounds so fake. You said that you married Mr. Jones a year ago? Why don't you just say that you have a child with him?"

"Well, frankly speaking..." Sharon lowered her gaze and touched her belly with her delicate hands. "I was absent yesterday, right? Actually, I went to the hospital for a checkup. I'm two months pregnant. It's Mr. Jones' baby."

Janice glared at her and said, "Don't stop me. I'll kill this delusional woman!"

Mr. Jones belonged to everyone, and no one could get their hands on him.

After the argument, Sharon finally successfully diverted Janice's attention.

But she was still afraid. If they really knew about her relationship with Stanley, she would definitely not be able to continue working in this company anymore.

She didn't expect Janice to see her despite being so cautious and vigilant.

Fortunately, there were so many people rushing to work in the morning, so she couldn't see it clearly. Otherwise, Sharon would really be finished.

Before getting off work in the evening, Sharon received another call from the hospital.

Dr. Wallace said, "Miss Cruz, the man I told you this morning came again."

Sharon frowned. "Is he there all day?"

"No. He left at noon, and now he's back again." Dr. Wallace hid in the corner and called her. "The more I look at him, the more I feel that he doesn't mean well. Sharon, do you want to come over?"

Of course, she had to go.

"Dr. Wallace, wait for me. I'll go now."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Sharon immediately packed up her things and was about to leave when Janice called after her, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go for dinner together."

Sharon turned around and blinked at her. "Oh, Janice, Mr. Jones has asked me to go to the exclusive restaurant for a date."

Janice grabbed the ball of paper next to her and threw it at the smug woman. "Enough with your nonsense!"

Sharon laughed and left.

Janice rolled her eyes.

When she arrived at the hospital, she went to Dr. Wallace directly.

She asked about her father's situation, to which she received the same answer as before. He was doing fine and nothing critical occurred. Maybe one day he would suddenly wake up...

Sharon had heard so many of these words that she was a little numb in the end.

She sighed and said, "Thank you, doctor. I'll go and see my father now. By the way, is that man still here?"

Dr. Wallace shook his head. "I didn't go there to have a look, so I don't know. Miss Cruz, you can go and have a look. If you are not familiar with him, you can inform the security guards in the hospital."

"Okay. Thank you, doctor." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"You're welcome. I'm just doing my job."

After saying goodbye to Dr. Wallace, Sharon walked to her father's ward. While walking, she thought to herself, "Is he from the Casey Family?"

But it didn't make sense. After what Cecilia and Evonne been through last time, they wouldn't come here in a short time.

As she thought about it, she had come to the ward.

When she looked up and saw the man leaning against the wall, she couldn't move a single step, as if she was rooted on the spot.

The blood in Sharon's body began to freeze. She could not believe her eyes.
