Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 312

Upon closing the door, Sharon went to the bedroom, just in time to see Stanley gently tuck the two children into bed.

Sharon didn't call him. Instead, she just stood at the door and watched him quietly.

Nevertheless, Stanley seemed to have sensed her gaze and glanced back at her. He then left a goodnight kiss on the children's foreheads and came out.

"Don't they need to take a shower?" He asked as he closed the door.

After thinking for a while, Sharon replied, "They had a long day at the mall today. Besides, there's no school tomorrow, so I can take a shower for them in the morning."

Stanley nodded and went to the living room to pour a cup of water, as if this was his own home.

He didn't say anything more, neither did Sharon. The two of them just stood there in the living room quietly.

Soon, Stanley cleared his throat as he seemed to feel a little awkward too. He then looked at his watch and realized that it was quite late already.

Seeing that, Sharon said, "It's getting late. Why don't you go back first?"

Stanley slowly finished the water in his cup, and stated, "Nah, I'm not going back today."

"Huh?" Sharon was confused. "Where are you going to sleep then?"

"Well, you've got two rooms, haven't you?"

"What? You want the three of us to cram on that small bed again?" Sharon rolled her eyes. That was a single bed! Although she was skinny and was able to squeeze in beside the children last

night, she still felt sore all over when waking up this morning.

Stanley obviously didn't realize this. After a pause, he said, "You and the children can sleep on the big bed tonight, and I'll take the small one."

Suspicious, Sharon looked at him. "Why do you want to sleep here?"

She still remembered that last night he wanted to leave in a hurry. So, what changed him?

Suddenly, at the thought of something, Sharon brightened up. "Wait, have you regained your memories?"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but no. I haven't." Stanley put down his cup and sat down on the sofa.

Hearing that, she was discouraged. It seemed that she had overthought.

Stanley looked at her disappointed expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you really hope for me to recover and return as the old me?"

Sharon was stunned by his words, but she nodded with a serious look. "Yes."

Stanley was a little speechless.

Why would she prefer the old him though?

"Because even though you used to be sharp-tongued and bad-tempered back then, you were much more approachable than now. I don't like the current you." Sharon looked straight into his eyes as she stated that.

Jeez, she was quite frank. Stanley couldn't help laughing, "But, I'm still me!"

Sharon pouted, but she knew that he must be displeased.

"Anyway, why did you suddenly stop sending me lunch boxes back in Allgate City, and even came back?"

It was only now that he finally asked the question that had been bothering him.

Surprised, Sharon asked, "How did you know that it was me?"

"I'm not stupid."

Indeed. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Stanley was quite clever, so of course, he could figure it out that it was her. Besides, there were surveillance tapes.

Anyhow, back then, she just wanted to find ways to get close to him and help him get his memory back. However, she was quite dejected after a few unsuccessful attempts.

"Did you not like the lunch I prepared? You even asked the secretary to turn me down." Sharon muttered, "Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore."

Stanley was at a loss for words because back then, he had indeed told the secretary to turn her down, as she was just a stranger to him and he didn't want to be involved with her.

"Ahem." He felt a little embarrassed. "Back in Allgate City, you suddenly came to me and said that I'm your husband. So of course, I thought you were a stalker or something! You should be thankful that I didn't call the police."

Bullsh*t! Sharon glared at him. "Oh, really?"

"What? Did I do it wrong? Besides, that night in my house, if I hadn't insisted on driving you away, you would've wanted to stay there! But you're a woman! How can you stay over at a stranger's

place? Haven't you thought that it could be dangerous?"

Hearing that, Sharon was taken aback and only retorted after a while, "I... I didn't think so much at that time. I looked for you for four years! Suddenly, I found you, so naturally, I was very excited... and I didn't think that you would do bad things to me."

Gradually, her voice became lower.

Stanley, on the other hand, felt his heart trembled.

Indeed, Sharon saw him as her husband, her family, so instinctively, she would put her guards down for him.

Back then, he couldn't understand her behaviour, but now, he could. He knew it was because she trusted him completely!

Meanwhile, Stanley sat on the sofa and stared at her, remembering how he felt when she almost got hit by the car just now. Then, his expression gradually softened. "So eventually, you couldn't take any more rejections and come back here in a fit of anger?"

Sharon shook her head. "No. Actually, I got a call saying that Sadie caught a cold. So I came back."

So that was how it was.

The knot in his heart was finally untangled now. "I see. It's getting late though. You should go shower."

Sharon knew that he must have decided to spend the night here, and since it was getting late, she had no choice but to agree. Eventually, she headed towards the bathroom.

Later, coming out of the bathroom, she heard Stanley's voice coming from the balcony and his tone was deep yet merciless. "Lock him up first. I'll handle him when I'm free. Ah, don't beat him to death. I need him alive..."

Hearing his cruel tone, Sharon gasped, because just now, he was still talking to her in a soft voice...
