Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 114

This b*stard!

Sharon grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.

Still feeling angry, she reached for the glass on the bedside table and was about to throw it at him when the dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, holding her thin wrist with his powerful hand and restraining her movements.

"Ah."

Frightened, Sharon kicked him with her foot viciously and violently.

Stanley leaned his body over and trapped her petite woman in his embrace. He hugged her and mumbled, "Liam used the same tactic to approach Rebecca. I was out on missions all the time that I rarely had time for her, and that was how he succeeded so quickly..."

"Do you think I'll do the same simply because Rebecca couldn't stand the temptation and betrayed you? Do you think I'll so shameless to sleep with any guy who flirts with me?"

Sharon sneered.

Stanley was stunned and smiled slowly. "Yes, you're a good girl. You won't do that."

Sharon curled her lips and said, "I'm a good girl and your Rebecca was not?"

Stanley pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

Sharon knew that she had crossed his line again. She shouldn't have said such a thing about the deceased.

"Sorry, my bad. I shouldn't..."

"You can't compare with her. I shouldn't have doubted you. I owe you an apology."

He apologized too much tonight. He lowered his respectful attitude again and again and apologized to her.

Sharon didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, the bedroom became exceptionally quiet.

Sharon lay down and looked up at him.

Stanley leaned over her and looked down.

The two of them looked at each other quietly. The atmosphere was getting a little tense.

Sharon lay under him and was completely enveloped by him.

Stanley lowered his head and looked at her motionlessly.

Sharon blushed all of a sudden.

It was embarrassing to look at each other at such a close distance.

Looking at her shy face, Stanley thought of what happened last night.

A man in a midst of rage would throw rationality out the window. He was so angry that night in the restaurant because he was worked up by Liam's provocation.

Stanley would not have been provoked so easily if it were anything else.

However, when it came to Sharon, he could not control his emotions.

Although he believed that Sharon kept her distance from Liam, every time he looked at Sharon's face, he would unconsciously think of Liam's remarks which made him feel uncomfortable.

He sighed.

He had these annoying doubts all because he cared too much.

Stanley supported himself with his elbow and stared at the woman under him with his dark eyes. Her face was fair and smooth, and her big eyes were watery, full of spirit, and bright with a hint of ignorance.

How could it be her?

Why did he fall in love with her?

He could have all the women in the world. The younger women, the prettier women, the cuter women, and so on.

But... neither of them was her.

Sharon was scared as he kept staring at her. Her heart was thumping vigorously.

His gaze was completely different from before. There were complex emotions inside his deep dark gaze. It was so intensifying as if it was a net that could trap her inside.

Sharon's mouth was dry as he locked his intense gaze at her.

She licked her lips and felt that the air was starting to heat up. She pushed him with her small hand and said, "G-Get up!"

Stanley grabbed her thin fingers and rubbed them against his fingers. His eyes were so deep that he almost wanted to eat her up.

"W-What's wrong with you?"

Sharon panicked. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Stanley stared into her eyes and said in a low voice, "You don't know what happened to me?"

Sharon shook her head.

How did she know what he was thinking?

She couldn't read his mind.

Moreover, she could barely understand his complicated and unfathomable mind.

"Can't you tell what I'm thinking?"

Stanley thought that she was too stupid from her confused look. Didn't she see anything from his attitude towards her?

Sharon looked puzzled. "Do I need to know what you're thinking?"

She really didn't get why he looked at her while gnashing his teeth.

Stanley looked at her speechlessly.

For the first time, he felt that it was not a good thing to be too naive. There was no need to speak their minds so clearly between a man and a woman. A clever girl with a delicate mind could know a man's thoughts at a glance.

But she didn't understand!

He couldn't confess his feelings because he found confessions to be too boring.

But this woman was like a fool who didn't even understand his intention.

He was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do next.

Looking at his embarrassed look, Sharon's eyes lit up, and she said, "I know!"

"Hmm?" His heart was beating fast, his throat bobbing. Stanley smiled and said, "Do you understand now?"

Sharon nodded and felt a little embarrassed. "I think we should call it a day today. We did it too many times just now; I can't take it anymore. Skye has said that young people shouldn't go all out just because we are young and energetic..."

What a fool!

Stanley's face imeediately fell.

The woman was still talking, but Stanley huffed impatiently, "Shut up!"

"Okay. I'll stop talking now."

Sharon pouted.

She felt a firm grip on her waist. She was pulled into Stanley's chest as he hugged her from behind and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep!"

"Oh."

She had been sleeping for a whole day, so how could she fall asleep now?

Bored, Sharon's eyes darted around and asked, "How did Rebecca die?"

Hazel didn't mention it and Sharon didn't ask about it, but she had always been curious about it.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the big hand on her waist suddenly tightened.

His eyes were closed and his eyelashes trembled slightly. He frowned as the past flooded his mind. After taking a bullet for him, Rebecca lay in his arms, covering in blood, and said to him weakly, "I've always loved you. I didn't do anything with Liam. Nothing happened. Please, please believe me..."

After saying this, she closed her eyes.

In the first two years, he often dreamed of Rebecca who was covered in blood.

He reached out his hand to grab her, but he couldn't catch anything.

Sharon felt a little uncomfortable as the arm that circled her waist began to tighten that she couldn't breathe.

As expected, the first love was always the most important. He would get irritated every time she mentioned Rebecca.

Rebecca would probably live in his heart forever and no woman could take her place in his heart.

Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed.

There was a steady breathing sound echoing in Sharon's ear, which was rhythmical and constant. Sharon was stunned.

She moved her body and tried to sound him out. "Hey."

She did not get any response from the man behind her.

Coming out of his arms, Sharon looked back and was stunned.

He actually fell asleep!

The man was very handsome with his prominent facial features. He was extremely good- looking even if he was in a deep slumber.

How could he fall asleep like this?

"You earn my respect," Sharon mumbled quietly.

Sharon still had a question for him. If he loved Rebecca so much, what about Jewel? What had happened between him and Jewel? Did he take Jewel as his sister or had a relationship with her?

"Forget it. He's sleeping soundly, so I can't bear to bother him."

When she was about to lie down again, she saw an item that was exposed from the pocket of his clothes. Biting her lip anxiously, she couldn't resist the curiosity and reached out to take it out of the pocket.

When she looked at it, she was stunned.

The woman in the photo was so beautiful and slender in a white dress. She stood beside a man in a military uniform, curling her arm around his.

Were this Stanley and Rebecca?

This woman must be Rebecca whom he couldn't forget. He wouldn't take her photo with him otherwise.

Sharon didn't dare to look at it anymore, so she hurriedly stuffed the photo back into his pocket.

She closed her eyes, but the image of the couple in the photo flashed across her mind.

They were indeed a perfect match for each other.

It was the first time for her to see Stanley wearing a military uniform. He looked handsome and smart in his sacred and majestic military uniform. Although he didn't look as mature and sophisticated as he was now, she couldn't resist his manly charm.

It turned out that he had never liked to smile. Whether it was now or in the past, he always had a calm and cold face.

Even if Stanley looked quite indifferent in the photo, there was still tenderness in his eyes.

She had never seen such gentleness in the man before.

Such a cold and indifferent man gave the softest side of his heart to a woman named Rebecca.

Suddenly, Sharon began to envy Rebecca.

The next morning, Sharon's eyelids began to twitch.

There was a superstition about eyelids twitching that said it indicated good fortune if your left eyelid twitched while bad luck if your right eyelid twitched.

"D*mn, I'll be screw today," she whispered.

There must be a disaster that happened today. Why else would her right eyelid be twitching otherwise?

When Stanley came out of the bathroom, he saw Sharon covering half of her eyes with a pale face.

"What are you doing?"

Sharon immediately got up and hugged his arm. "My eyelid is twitching all the time. Why do I feel something bad is going to happen?"

Stanley gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Are you so superstitious?"

"Uh..."

Seeing that she was really worried, Stanley said faintly to calm her down, "I'm here. Nothing can happen to you."

Sharon was moved.

As expected, the three most beautiful words in the world were not "I love you", but "I am here".

She hugged him with tears in her eyes. "I'm so touched. Sure enough, my husband will comfort me... Ah."

She was so complacent that she accidentally tugged her injured arm.

Sharon grimaced in pain.

Stanley frowned, threw away the towel, and immediately went to check on her. "What's going on?"

Sharon's face twisted in a painful grimace. "1-1 hurt my arm."

Stanley looked at her and rolled his eyes. "Serve you right!"

Sharon squinted at him, speechless.

He not only did not comfort her but also kicked her when she was down.

If beating someone was legal, she would beat the cr*p out of him right now!

Sharon scowled in agony and rage. Stanley patted her on the head and said, "Go to take a shower first. After that, I'll apply some ointment for you."

"Okay."

Howard's medicine was deemed effective.

She had only applied it a few times, and it was not as painful as it was on the first day.

After taking a shower, Stanley had already put on his clothes neatly.

He looked very handsome in a suit and leather shoes. He wore a clean white shirt with his long and beautiful fingers stretching out of the sleeves. Solemnness was donned on his prominent facial features.

He was one fine gentleman.

He looked so manly and presentable the moment he put on his clothes.

But she didn't forget how he tortured her last night...

After clearing her throat, Sharon walked over.

Stanley had the ointment in his hand. When he saw her coming over, he started to apply the ointment for her. He said as he wiped it.
