Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 187

Sharon was about to cry. Why was he so contradictory?"

"You're the one who wants the pictures, right? I only have this camera with me. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. See if I have taken photos of you."

Sharon stomped anxiously as the man didn't take the camera. "Just look at it!"

The man took the camera from her suspiciously, but he still pointed his pistol at her. Cold sweat was drenching Sharon's whole body.

The last time she was kidnapped by Harvey, he also pointed his gun at her head. At that time, she was so scared that she didn't know what to do. She didn't expect that someone would point the gun at her again.

While the man was looking at the photos on the camera, Sharon was also eyeing him and wondering who they were and why could they carry guns casually.

Soon, the man finished checking the camera and indeed, he didn't find any pictures on it. He frowned and asked, "Since you have been following us, it's impossible that you didn't take any photos. Tell me honestly, did you hide the photos?"

Why would she hide the pictures from him?

Sharon wanted to curse him. This was the first time she felt helplessly wronged and anxious.

"Big guy, I really didn't take photos of you guys. I don't even know you. Why would I take your pictures?"

"Then why do you carry this camera around?"

"I'm taking photos..."

"See? You're taking our photos!"

Sharon rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I'm taking pictures of the celebrities. Are you a celebrity?"

The man frowned skeptically. "Are you a paparazzi? Not a private detective?"

Sharon quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm just a small-time paparazzo. I'm taking some scandalous photos of the celebrities."

She would even admit that she was a peeping Tom as long as he would stop pointing the gun at her.

The man seemed to believe her, albeit a little skeptical. Sharon was at her wit's end when all of a sudden, a loud screeching sound of a car break resonated behind her.

Sharon looked back and suddenly widened her eyes in surprise. "Mr. Frazier, over here!"

That was right. It was Liam who opened the door and got out of the car.

Although Sharon said that she didn't want to see him again, she saw him as a life savior at a crucial moment like this.

Liam strode over and donned a gloomy expression as he looked at the gun in the man's hand. "What's going on?"

Sharon immediately explained what had happened from beginning to end. After that, she carefully moved closer to Liam's ear and whispered, "There must be some misunderstanding. They think I'm following them, but I don't even know who they are..."

Her voice was soft and gentle, and as she whispered into his ear, hot breath was huffed on his earlobe. Liam's throat bobbed. He looked at the man with the gun and said to Sharon, "Wait for me in the car. I'll handle this."

Sharon was stunned and asked, "You?"

"Can you handle it?" Liam glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Did she really think she could be a hero at a moment like this?

He looked at her trembling hands and pale face, but she tried her best to hold back her frightful emotions and pretended to be calm.

Sharon looked at him in a daze.

"All right, wait for me in the car. I'll be fine. If it's just a misunderstanding, it's no big deal." Liam pointed to the car and said, "I'll take you out of here after I settle it."

Sharon stood still.

Liam glanced at her with a faint smile. "Are you touched? Do you want to live and die together with me?"

Sharon was speechless.

She then turned around and left.

Seeing her get into the car, Liam turned his eyes to the man and said, "Dude, it's not good to scare the young lady with a gun in broad daylight, don't you think?"

Inside the car.

Sharon, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was still in a daze. She looked straight out of the car at the two men who were talking, yet she couldn't hear what they said.

She was a little shocked by Liam's actions.

She pursed her lips, and her hands on her knees were drenched with cold sweat. She was really scared earlier, for fear that her life might be over if she pissed the man off and he shot her.

However, Liam appeared in time and helped her again.

He even let her get on the car and stay in a safe place, while he was outside the car, talking to the man with a gun.

She sat up straight and didn't dare to move for fear that something might happen.

Time passed by. She didn't know what Liam said that made the man put away the gun eventually. Sharon breathed a long sigh of relief.

Two minutes later, Liam came over to her. He got in and started the car.

It was not until they were safe that Sharon asked, "What's going on?"

"The man with the gun is a bodyguard, and the person he is protecting seems to be in some trouble lately that they are in a state of extreme alert now. You just happened to appear under their noses so they find you suspicious."

It was indeed a misunderstanding.

Sharon did not expect her to be so unlucky.

She thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "If it weren't for you, what would happen to me?"

There was a moment of silence in the car. When they had left the underground parking lot, Liam parked the car by the side and said after thinking for a while, "It's all right. Don't overthink it."

It was not that Sharon wanted to overthink it, but she started to feel the fear now. They had guns, so it meant that they were not ordinary people. If she really took their pictures just now, it was very likely...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore. She pursed her lips and couldn't say a word.

No matter from Stanley or Hazel, all she heard about was that Liam was a scheming and bad guy. In fact, he approached her on purpose, which almost ruined the relationship between her and Stanley. She even hated him on several occasions.

She splashed a glass of water on his face the last time they met.

He should hate her, shouldn't he?

But he helped her again!

He was a bad guy, so he should do what a bad guy should do instead of helping her without hesitation again and again!

Sharon pursed her lips tightly and lowered her eyes.

"Here," Liam's voice sounded again. Sharon turned her head and saw a pack of tissue in his hand. Sharon was puzzled. "What?"

"Wipe those sweats on your face." He pointed to her hand and said, "You almost cried out of fear, didn't you?"

Sharon smiled after her thought was revealed and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Liam shook his head. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I have nothing to lose."

Sharon blinked and asked again, "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Everyone is afraid of death, and I am no exception!" Liam said faintly, "But can I avoid death just because I'm afraid to die? If possible, I wish I never exist in this world."

Sharon was stunned and suddenly remembered Liam's background. His mother was a mistress who died when he was ten years old and he grew up alone ever since. He must have endured a lot of things that ordinary people couldn't bear as he grew up.

If he grew up in a normal family, would his personality be much better than now?

If he had loving and caring parents, he wouldn't have done so many wrong things, would he?

Sharon's throat bobbed. Looking at his side profile, she said directly, "Let bygone be bygone. Don't think of those painful things. It will make you feel better." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

That was how she moved on from the painful past. She had hated Evonne for abandoning her and her father.

She knew very well that hatred could make people do something horrible and fearsome.
