Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 221

It was already ten o'clock, but Stanley had not yet returned.

Not knowing what feelings were arising in her heart. Sharon could not tell whether she was disappointed or sad?

There were all kinds of mixed emotions, and she was not able to digest them. Those emotions were like strings, pulling at her feelings. Sharon felt the uneasiness in her heart, but there was no emotion shown on her face.

Hence, she sat on the sofa in a daze, counting the time in her heart. Time flew by, and she continued to wait for another hour. Still, the man did not return.

Finally, she gave up.

Standing up, Sharon headed for the second floor. Hazel, who was taking a nap on another sofa, woke up at the commotion. She thought that Stanley had returned, and hurriedly stood up. "Is Mr. Jones home?"

With an indistinct voice, Sharon replied, "No, he is not. It's getting late and I'm too sleepy, so I'm not waiting anymore. Hazel, you should go and rest too."

Yawning, Hazel did not hear the weird tone in Sharon's words. She then nodded and said, "Yes, It's really late. Good night."

"Good night."

Returning to her bedroom, Sharon took a shower. After coming out, she curled up under the blanket. Summer had already passed, and the temperature at night was getting colder by the day.

Feeling the coldness from her feet to her hands.

The air conditioner was not turned on, and she was covered in her blanket, but still, she felt cold.

Stunned, as she felt that her cheeks were wet. She raised her hand and touched it, and her hand was wet.

Did she cry?

Biting down on her lips, Sharon silently cursed herself for being useless. As she was crying because she was mad at that man. She felt ashamed.

After being stuck in the blanket for some time, she poked her head out, as the oxygen inside was running low. Sharon then took a deep breath, and peeked at the clock. It was almost 12 o'clock, but the man had not returned.

Lost in her own thoughts, why was he not back yet?

Did he not promise her that he would return before 10 o'clock?

Could it bethat something had happened?"

With that, her emotions started to change from being angry and sad, and now she was worried.

Quit being so arrogant, and lower down your self-esteem, Sharon thought to herself. She should give him a call and ask him what was going on.

Immediately, Sharon turned over and stood up. She took out her phone and called Stanley.

"Beep beep beep..."

Within three beeps, someone had picked up the phone. "Hello?"

The woman's soft voice came clearly from the line. It was no one other than Rebecca.

Completely stunned, the corners of Sharon's eyes widen. "Where's Stanley?"

Squeezing out a few words from her throat, she asked.

"Is this Sharon?" Rebecca chuckled. "Stanley is too tired, and he's resting by my side. Today, he had been running all over the place to search for me. Why not call him tomorrow? I think he's sleeping too soundly, and I can't bear to wake him up. I know you don't have the heart to wake him too, right?"

Holding on to her phone, the blood over her body froze. It felt like a basin of cold water was poured from her head to toe.

How ironic.

"Let him sleep." Sharon's face was expressionless. "I won't call again."

After finishing her words, Sharon hurriedly threw the phone away, as if she was throwing away those disgraces.

When she lay down again, Sharon's heart was almost numb. She could not feel cold, nor could she feel any emotion.

As she closed her eyes, the thought of what Stanley had said in the morning kept coming back and forth

"Just stay at home and wait for me..."

"I'll be back before 10 o'clock..."

"The one I love now is you..."

The call that she made just now had turned what he said during the day into the most ironic language.

Here, she was so worried about him. Afraid that something might happen to him. Instead, he was by Rebecca's side, sleeping with her...

There was nothing more ironic than this...

The corners of Sharon's mouth curled into a mocking smile. Then, she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

The next day, Sharon woke up and opened her eyes. Instinctively, she extended her hand to touch his body. But, beside her, there was nothing there, not a single trace of masculinity.

Staring blankly for a while, she lowered her eyes, got up and went to the bathroom. When she looked into the mirror, her eyes were swollen and her eyelids were dark. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

After washing up, she went downstairs and Hazel had already prepared breakfast.

"Just at the right time, the milk is hot enough."

Picking up the milk bottle on the table, Sharon asked, "Hazel, Stanley did not return last night, did he?"

Stopped for a second, Hazel then turned around with a kind expression on her face. "He might have something that delayed..."

Taking a sip of milk, Sharon nodded.

Seeing that she was so calm, Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. "You like hotcakes, don't you? Can I make them for you?"

"There's no need for that, Hazel." Sharon finished drinking her milk. "I have something else to do. I'm heading out now."

Arrived in the city center, when Sharon got in the car, she made a phone call. But the caller ID showed that it was shut down.

Standing in the crowd, Sharon was absentminded for a while. Then she pressed her lips and found another number.

Soon, the other side picked up. "Hello..."

There she heard a lazy voice, the person seemed to have not woken up yet.

"It's me." Sharon said to the phone, "Where's Stanley?"

The rustling sound of him putting on his clothes could be heard from the other end of the phone. After a while, a voice came from the other end of the line, "How did you end up finding your husband through me?"

"Liam, if you had not forcefully barged into my house last night to say those words, how could Stanley have been out the entire night without returning? I'm calling him now, but his phone is still turned off!"

"Oh?" Liam raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Stanley spent an entire night with Rebecca in the hospital yesterday? What a deep connection they share."

"Which hospital are they in?" Sharon directly voiced out the question she wanted to ask.

"Are you going to catch them in action?" The other side chuckled.

Biting her lips, Sharon was speechless. She was so angry that she did not sleep last night. The more she thought about it, the more unfair she felt. When she woke up this morning, she decided to personally take a look, and question Stanley upfront about why he did not return home!

After saying that he loved her, but then he suddenly did not return. So, there must be something wrong.

Sharon wanted to get to the bottom of this.

"You don't need to care about my business. I just need you to tell me, which hospital is Stanley and Rebecca in?"

"If I were to tell you. What benefit do I get?"

"I have nothing, so I can't give you any benefits."

"I don't do business that would cause me a loss."

Taking in a deep breath, Sharon softened her voice. "Then... Consider this as me begging you, okay? Since I helped you once at the bar, you should return me that favor. So, you'd better help me out here, alright?"

There was silence at the other end of the phone.

With that, Sharon waited quietly.

After a long time, a hoarse voice came through, "What a smart girl, knowing how to deal with men with her own resources." After that, he added, "Golden Valley General Hospital, VIP room 2205."

After thanking him, Sharon then kept her phone and hurried to take a taxi.

As soon as she turned around, a Bentley quietly stopped behind her. The window rolled down, revealing Shawn's deep facial features. He tilted his head and looked at her with his dark eyes. "Get in."

Rooted to the spot, Sharon did not move. Ever since she was taken away by Stanley from the restaurant, she had not seen Shawn.

After that, he did not call her again. This time, his sudden appearance really surprised her.
