Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 125

Holding her in his arms and stabilizing himself, Stanley lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms. "What are you doing?"

Sharon buried her face in his chest and said with a trace of fear in her voice, "Where were you just now?"

Stanley pursed his lips and said, "I was downstairs."

Sharon hugged him tightly. "Don't go please."

Her clinginess made his heart involuntarily melt. He sighed and raised his hand to stroke her hair. "I'm just downstairs, and I haven't gone anywhere."

As he spoke, he brought her to bed, and between his movements, Sharon let out a hissing cry.

Stanley came to his senses and scolded her, "You deserve it. Why didn't you remember the injury on your feet when you rushed to me just now?"

Sharon pouted with grievance and said, "I forgot..."

"Don't move. Sit down and let me have a look."

Stanley was going to hold her hand.

Sharon held his waist and did not let go. "No."

Stanley let out a helpless chuckle. "Come on, let go of me first. Let me take a look at your injury."

"No." Sharon said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid."

Afraid...

His deep eyes narrowed slightly. Jackson said that two thugs were harassing her. When he rushed over, she was wet all over that he could almost see everything under the drenched thin layer of clothes. She curled up in the corner, looking very pitiful.

At the thought of this, Stanley felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

"Don't be afraid." He bowed his head and kissed her forehead. "It's okay. Those two b*stards didn't do anything to you. It's okay now."

Sharon held his waist tightly and shook her head. "I'm not afraid of that. I'm afraid of thunder."

Stanley froze.

Afraid... of thunder?

Did he hear it correctly?

Raising her face, Stanley looked into her eyes.

"Sharon, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

When Sharon was about to shake her head, there was a sudden "bang" outside the window. The flashing lightning and rumbling thunder sounded particularly horrifying and frightening.

Her body went stiff and her face was pale. She grabbed Stanley's arm so tightly that her nails almost penetrated through his flesh.

Okay, he believed her now.

She was not afraid of the thugs, but the thunder instead!

"Don't be afraid. It's just thunder. There's nothing to be afraid of." He smiled helplessly and pinched her cheek. Thinking of something, his face sank. "Since you're so timid, why did you still dare to run out alone?"

Sharon spoke very softly, "I just ran and ran, and when I wanted to go back, it was too far away..."

Stanley pursed his lips. "Do you regret it now?"

"No."

"Huh?" Stanley narrowed his eyes.

Sharon spoke softly again, "If I didn't run out, I wouldn't have the chance to have a nice conversation with you like right now."

Was she blaming him for treating her like that in the villa?

Stanley wanted to say something, but in the end, he held it in, concerning her feelings.

"It's okay. It's over now."

Stanley picked her up, went to the bedside, put her on the bed, and then lifted her foot to check her injury. After taking a look at her, he frowned.

She shouldn't have walked after the gauze dressing. However, she literally jumped down from the bed just now and walked on the injury, so now the white gauze had already been stained with blood.

Sharon retracted her foot. "I-I'm fine..."

Stanley glanced at her and let go of her. Sharon immediately sat down in bed.

"It's getting late. Go to sleep."

Stanley got up and was about to turn off the lights.

"Dear..." Sharon suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Stanley turned around and looked at her. "What's the matter?"

"Are you... still angry?"

Stanley turned his head away and said calmly, "No."

"You must be!" Sharon looked at him and knew that he was lying.

Stanley turned around and glared at her. "If you know that I will be angry, why did you piss me off? Why did you be with Liam Frazier alone? Do you know that he is a dangerous person and he can do anything?"

Thinking that she was in an unstable mood now, he only chided her softly and avoided the heated arguments.

Sharon sniffed and said, "I'm sorry."

"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you apologize?" Stanley's face darkened. "Are you using that pitiful trick against me?"

Sharon shook her head. "No..."

"You are!"

Sharon was anxious and reached out to grab his hand. "No, I didn't. Really!"

Stanley snorted.

Sharon glanced at him and whispered, "It's not me who wanted to go with him, but he took me away without my knowledge. When I woke up, I was already at his place. Nothing happened between us. Why don't you trust me?"

She felt distressed too. He never really considered her feelings but got annoyed by himself.

Was she the kind of person who would betray him?

He didn't trust her at all!

When Sharon thought about it, she felt upset. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Stanley looked at her seriously. "It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't believe in him."

Liam was wicked and vicious by nature and he was capable of doing anything bad. It was not safe for Sharon to be with him.

"Do you still remember the last time you said that I imprisoned you?"

Stanley said.

Sharon nodded. "Yes, I remember."

Why did he mention this?

"I was not imprisoning you but I was protecting you." Stanley pursed his lips and explained for the first time, "Liam may look gentle and kind on the outside, but he is actually cruel and merciless. You don't know what he had done before, so you would be fooled by his disguise."

Sharon quietly listened to him.

"I almost killed him that night in the restaurant. He must have hatred in his heart and will definitely find a chance to make a move on me." Speaking of this, Stanley paused and then said, "It's possible that he made a move on you."

Sharon pondered for a while and said, "So in the hospital, you assigned two bodyguards to protect me and prevent me from leaving the hospital because you wanted someone to protect me if Liam did something bad."

Stanley nodded.

"But he didn't do it. Does it mean that he won't hurt me in the future?" Sharon said.

Stanley glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Are you speaking up for him?"

Sharon was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "No. I'm just curious. If he wanted to lay a hand on me, why didn't he just kill me at his place when he took me away this time?"

Stanley sneered and said, "It's better to hook up with you than to kill you so that he can laugh at me and insult me again! It's a much easier move than killing you!"

Sharon was stunned, then jumped up and was about to beat him up. "What do you mean by saying that it's much easier than killing me? Stanley Jones, do you really think I will fall for a man so easily?"

Stanley looked at her and was about to speak.

"Am I wrong? Do you think I'll betray you? You think I'll cheat on you, don't you?" Sharon rebuked.

Stanley pursed his lips. Deep down inside, he was really worried that Liam would snatch Sharon away.

"You not only don't believe me but also use the biggest slander to speculate me. Do you think that all women are like Rebecca?"

Hearing that, Stanley frowned immediately.

"Why, you want me to shut up again!" Sharon sneered. "Even if you don't want to mention Rebecca, you still love her, right? What is this then? I haven't had an affair yet but you already commit emotional infidelity!"

"Sharon Cruz!"

Stanley shouted her name in great dismay. He was so angry that blue veins stood out on his forehead as he thought, "Does she know what she's talking about?"

"How could you raise your voice at me!"

Sharon glared back.

Stanley started to get annoyed by her nuisance. "When did I raise your voice at you?"

"See? Right now! You're shouting at me!"

"You never see me really raising my voice, do you? Fine. I have an executive meeting tomorrow. Come to the meeting with me and I'll show you how does it look like when I raise my voice!"

Sharon snorted, "I don't want to!"

By letting her attend the meeting, wasn't he explicitly telling people that they had a relationship?

Obviously, Stanley was agitated. He stood up, turned off the light, and went straight to bed, ignoring her entirely.

He was tall and slender, so the moment he went to bed, the bed instantly became narrow.

Sharon was squeezed into the corner of the bed. She stared at him who was sleeping with his eyes closed. She stared at him for a long time, but he didn't seem to notice her resentment.

Her eyes got tired from the staring.

She looked away, rubbed her eyes, and slowly lay down beside him.

The bedroom was quiet.

Sharon couldn't fall asleep, so she looked at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

Lying next to her, he was breathing steadily. She wondered if he was asleep or pretending to be asleep.

His body odor was very nice as it exhumed into her nose continuously. Biting her lips, Sharon wanted to turn her back to him.

But the bed was too small.

This was a single bed.

Stanley occupied more than half of the bed. Luckily, Sharon was petite and did not take up a place. Otherwise, she had to lean against the wall through the night.

She couldn't even move a muscle, so she simply lay straight as a log.

All kinds of thoughts started to appear in her mind when she couldn't fall asleep.

What kind of shower gel did he use? Why did he smell so good?

Was his body made of iron.? It was so stiff and hard that she felt uncomfortable as his arm was nudging her.

It seemed that he didn't snore when he slept, which was good.

He already looked so smart and handsome when he was in a suit and tie, but she didn't expect that he would look more handsome in simple pajamas.

Not only did he lose his sharpness but he also gained a bit of softness.

As the orange light shone on him, he looked almost like a good family man.

Sharon dived deep into her thoughts. The more she thought about it, the more active her mind was.

Suddenly...

"Boom!" There was a loud thundering sound.

"Ah..."

She cried out in surprise and rolled into his arms.

She hated the thunder.

Stanley's body froze when she held him tightly. He smelled her sweet body odor which made him feel refreshed and comfortable.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Stanley asked in a calm and indifferent voice, "What are you doing?"

Tit's thundering."

He squinted at her.

"Then go to sleep and don't move."

"Okay."

Although she said so, she still continued to stick close to him and trembled vigorously.

Stanley suddenly opened his eyes and warned her in a low voice, "If you continue to move, don't blame me for not being able to control myself!"

Sharon understood what he meant and blushed. Then, she explained in a low voice, "No, I'm scared. I'm trembling and can't control myself."

Stanley was rendered speechless.
