Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 310

Sharon was at a loss for words.

She just didn't want Sadie to have ice cream. How did that make her any less love her daughter?

This little girl was capricious.

However, Seamus was quite caring for his sister and he immediately stood up for her. "Mom, please buy one for Sadie. She's very well-behaved, and it's the first time that she asks for ice cream this summer."

Seeing that, Sadie quickly pleaded, "Yeah, Mommy. I'm well-behaved..."

Sharon didn't know what to reply.

Sadie acted quite pitifully.

"It's just ice cream. We can buy one and let them share."

Just as Sharon was in a dilemma, Stanley joined the group too, and he managed to capture Sadie's heart instantly.

Well, now she looked like a bad person.

Stanley then brought Sadie to an ice cream store. The owner was a middle- aged man, who smiled at Sadie and said, "What a little cutie pie. How many ice creams would you like?"

"One, please." Stanley gave him the money.

The owner handed the ice cream to Sadie, then looked for change. When he took a glance at Stanley, suddenly, he remembered something and said in surprise, "Hey, it's you guys! It's been a few years since we last met, and your children have grown up so much!"

With his brows raised, Stanley asked, "Do you know us?"

The man gazed at Sharon, who stood behind Stanley, then nodded with a smile. "Yes, you two bought ice cream here a few years ago and left me with a deep impression. I remember that you didn't know how to coax your wife, and I even had to give you advice on that. Now that I think about it, it's still very funny."

Upon hearing his words, memories flooded into Sharon's mind and she remembered that it happened during the first time they went on a date. She wanted to have ice cream, but Stanley refused. Then she got angry with him...

Sharon was quite shocked. "Wow, you still remember us?"

"Of course. Although I've seen a lot of customers, you two are the most special, so I remember you." The owner looked at the family and sighed with a smile. "I didn't expect to see you two again. Here's a free one for your boy."

As he spoke, he scooped another ice cream and handed it to Seamus, who was standing by the side, watching his younger sister eating ice cream.

However, Seamus didn't take it and he subconsciously glanced at Sharon, who smiled and said, "Don't forget to say thank you."

Seamus's eyes lit up. He took the ice cream and thanked the man politely.

Seeing that, the man smiled and waved his hand. "I haven't seen you in a while. It's good that you two are still together. Hopefully, I'll see you guys again!"

After the interlude, Sharon's heart was filled with all sorts of feelings. She and Stanley had experienced so much after all this while. Thinking that, she couldn't help but look at him, who was holding their daughter, and get lost in thought.

Soon, Stanley noticed her gaze and there was a hint of teasing surfaced in his eyes. "Why are you staring at me?"

As if she had done something shameful, Sharon immediately withdrew her gaze, whereas her face turned red. Just as she was about to retort, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

Sharon wanted to struggle, but Stanley's deep voice rang next to her ear. "Don't move. Someone's following us."

Sharon was stupefied.

Someone was following them? Then, she heard Stanley said displeasingly, "It's in the direction of eight o'clock."

Sharon looked in the direction, and sure enough, there was a man there. Although the man was very careful in hiding, her intuition told her that the man was secretly taking pictures of them.

Sharon licked her dry lips. "Could it be paparazzi?"

"Paparazzi? But why do they follow us?"

Because you're famous... Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Sharon almost blurted out, but then she thought of something. Stanley had disappeared for four years. In Beachmarsh City, many had thought that he was dead, or even had forgotten him...

Although he was also famous in Allgate City now, he was quite low- key and was hardly seen in the media.

So, there shouldn't be any paparazzi in Beachmarsh City who would want to take photos of him.

As for her, she was just an obscure reporter that almost no one knew.

Sharon frowned. "Should we confront the stalker?"

She thought that this could be the fastest way to get an answer.

Stanley, however, smiled and said, "There's no need to act rashly and alert the enemy. Why don't we find out who's behind this quietly?"

Sharon agreed, and she followed him to the main entrance of the shopping mall without alerting the stalker.

When they were out of the mall, Stanley abruptly asked, "Do you know the ice-cream seller just now?"

"Yeah, and you know him too."

"Oh?"

"Before you lost your memory, we actually came here once to... Ahem, we came here to hang out, and we bought the ice cream."

Stanley took a deep look at her. "What a coincidence."

"Exactly," she replied in a careless manner, without noticing the deepness in his eyes. Outside the mall, people were coming and going. Sharon tightened Seamus's hand and then reminded Stanley, "Watch out for Sadie. There are many people here."

Hearing that, he snorted, "You worry that I'll lose the kid?"

Sharon was choked by his words and mumbled, "Because it can happen..."

"What did you say?" Stanley instantly looked annoyed.

Sharon quickly changed the subject. "Nothing. Let's go back. It's 8 o'clock already, almost time for the children to go to bed."

Hearing that, Stanley no longer argued with her, and said, "Then let's go back first. No need to worry about the paparazzi."

Sharon swiftly looked back but didn't see the man anymore. Presumably, he was hiding in a more hidden corner. Without further ado, she stepped off the sidewalk and hailed a cab.

Soon, a cab pulled up, and Stanley let the children get in the car first. When Sharon was about to get on, suddenly, a high- pitched screeching noise was heard.

Sharon looked up and saw a car charging towards her.

Gulping, she knew she was in imminent danger. Instead of being scared silly, she was surprisingly calm as she

retreated, and finally, she ran as the car raced toward her.

At the same time, an anxious male voice sounded, asking her to hide.

It was only now that Sharon came to her senses and dodged towards a corner.

With a loud bang, the car crashed into the wall behind her. Seeing that, she broke out in a cold sweat and felt that the world was spinning around her.
