Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 123

Stanley reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. "I'm not in the mood."

Jimmy asked, "Did something happen?"

Stanley pursed his lips. His straight and deep facial features revealed a hint of agitation. Jimmy could read through the unpleasant expression as he thought for a while and asked, "Did you quarrel with Sharon?"

Stanley gave him a deep look.

Jimmy laughed. It seemed that his guess was right. "Women need to be coaxed. Ariah and I fought all the time, and I'm always the one to comfort her first. In other aspects, I may not be as good as you, but in married life, you are definitely not as good as me!"

Jimmy said, "A fight between a husband and a wife is conducive to the harmony of marriage. A man and a woman, who live an extremely quiet and boring life, are very rare. Since you and Sharon are not that kind of couple, then you have to learn from us."

Stanley glanced at him and said with rare interest, "Go on."

When Jimmy saw that he was interested, the pride in his heart was rising. He couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and lecture him.

"Women always have a little temper and hotheaded. Sometimes they know that they are at fault, but they just don't want to admit it. At a moment like this, a man should be more generous, directly holding the woman in his arms and coaxing her. Of course, you need to be a sweet-talker too. Calling her dear, honey, and so on, and I'm sure she will fall for you all over again."

Stanley looked at him coldly. "And then what?"

Jimmy was a little jittery as he was glared at by Stanley's cold eyes. "Then coax her to bed. Everything will be okay the next day."

Stanley looked at Ariah and asked, "Are you that easy to settle a fight with him?"

Ariah smirked and said, "He thinks he's cajoling me every time, but really I just don't want to argue with him. I give in to him."

Jimmy was not happy to hear that. "You're giving in to me? It's me who compromise, okay?"

Ariah curled her lips. "I don't want to fight with you. Shut up!"

Jimmy squinted in agitation.

The phone kept ringing. Jimmy advised,

"Answer it. Maybe there is something important."

If nothing had happened, Jackson would not have kept calling him.

After thinking for a while, Stanley closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions. He opened his eyes again and resumed as the usual indifferent Stanley again.

"Hello."

He reached out and answered the phone.

"You finally picked up." Jackson let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Sharon who was standing still in the rain.

"I'm not in the mood today. Jackson, if you have something..."

"There's a cafe on Hawthorn Street. Come over here right now."

Jackson interrupted him.

Stanley frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Your wife is here."

Jackson said directly.

Stanley's expression changed. "What? Why is Sharon with you?"

Why did she come out in the middle of the night?

Jackson looked on as the rain was getting heavier and heavier, sighed, and said, "It's a long story. Come here first. She is not in a stable mood now. Come here quickly."

"Okay. I'll be right there. Wait for me," Stanley said.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately got up and walked out.

"Hey." Jimmy also stood up and said, "Stanley, it's raining outside. Be careful."

With a loud bang, the door was heavily closed. Jimmy wondered if he listened to what he said.

Ariah came out of the bedroom with a blanket and was stunned to find the sofa empty. "Where's Stanley?"

"He went to look for his wife," Jimmy said as he sat with his legs crossed and a grin on his face.

He guessed something fishy from the earlier conversation.

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "What's going on? Spell it out."

Jimmy pulled her over, and Ariah cried out in surprise as she fell into his arms. Jimmy held her firmly with his hands, and his pleasant body odor exhumed into Ariah's nose.

"Jackson called. It seems that something has happened to Sharon. Stanley's expression has changed immediately. I guess his mind is in a mess right now."

After a pause, he said, "It seems that someone fell in love with his wife after all."

Ariah, who was lying in his arms, was curious after hearing what he said. "By the way, why would Stanley marry Miss Cruz? It's not because of love, isn't it?"

"Of course not."

"Then why?"

Jimmy leaned over and bit Ariah's ear. She trembled and her cheeks turned red. Just as she was about to scold him for being frivolous, he leaned over and whispered something in her ear with his deep voice.

Ariah suddenly widened her eyes, which were full of disbelief.

No wonder.

But how could Stanley...

Sighing, Ariah suddenly felt sorry for Sharon.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility was seriously reduced. Stanley drove so fast that when a car suddenly overtook him, he suddenly turned the steering wheel so sharply that the tire skidded, making an ear-deafening screeching sound.

He stepped on the brake urgently, and his forehead hit the steering wheel heavily.

Blood quickly spread out from the wound. Stanley pursed his lips and restarted the car to leave, albeit the dripping blood from his forehead.

Everything happened within a few seconds. Fortunately, he was okay.

When Stanley arrived at the designated area, he saw her squatting on the floor before he got out of the car.

She squatted in the corner under the heavy rain as if she didn't feel anything. She was drenched all over, looking like a pitiful stray animal.

Stanley's heart tightened at the sight. Before he saw her, he felt as if the anxiety in his head was already at its peak as he rushed over.

Now that he saw her, he knew that it was even more heart-wrenching.

He pushed the door open and walked toward Sharon step by step.

When Jackson saw him coming over, he breathed a sigh of relief. "She was a little frightened and in a daze. She won't let me touch her. It's good that you're here. Take her to the car first."

Stanley nodded, squatted down in front of her, and whispered her name, "Sharon..."

The heavy rain and thunder almost drowned out all the sounds.

Sharon didn't seem to hear it and still buried her face in her knees.

Stanley frowned and reached out to pull her.

As soon as he touched her shoulder, she involuntarily stepped back as if she was jolted by electricity.

Frowning, Stanley pressed his hands on her shoulders and said rather loudly, "Sharon, look at me!"

Sharon, who seemed to have heard his voice, slowly raised her head.

Blood had drained from her pale and wet face which was drenched by tears and rain. Her messy hair stuck on her cheeks, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"S-Stanley?"

He nodded and stared at her. "It's me!"

As soon as he spoke, Sharon suddenly jumped into his arms.

Stanley didn't expect that she would suddenly jump on him like this. He almost fell down with her as he didn't expect her to exert so much strength in hugging him, but luckily he was able to stabilize himself and nothing happened.

After Sharon threw herself into his arms, she began to cry. "You're finally back!"

The rain continued to fall, and there was a crackling sound mixed with her sobs. "I have been chasing you for so long that my voice was hoarse, but you kept driving. Why are you going to see Jewel? I don't want you to go to her place! I don't want you to see her!"

Her crying made Stanley's heart tremble.

There was even more shock in his eyes. Did she chase after him because of this?

Did she chase after his car and ran so far?

How did she manage to run such a longdistance?

Enraged and distressed, Stanley pursed his thin lips into a line.

At that time, he was extremely angry when he was in the bedroom, so he slammed the door and left.

He was insanely jealous when he thought of the time she spent with Liam, which was why he said such nonsense!

Instead of going to Jewel's house, he went to Jimmy's.

Just now, he was still so angry that his heart hurt, but now that he saw her crying at the top of her lungs, all his anger was gone and was replaced by heartache.

Sighing, he picked her up. When his eyes swept under her feet, he found that she was not only wearing only one piece of clothes but also no shoes. She was barefooted and her feet were slightly bleeding.

Did she just run out like this? Was she crazy? How could she disregard her body like this?

Stanley's face turned cold as he carried the crying woman into the car.

Looking at the couple crying and arguing, Jackson couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a little envious inside, but he also felt a little envious in his heart. This was how it looked like to be a normal couple with emotions and human nature.

They were vivid and lively, and let out all your thoughts instead of rotting inside.

"I'm living nearby. She's not in a stable mood now, and it's raining. Go to my place and stay for a night. Call Howard to check the wound on her feet."

Jackson got in the car and said as he started the car.

Stanley nodded and focused all his attention on the woman in his arms. He had no objection wherever he went.

All three of them were wet as if they had climbed out of the water.

Sharon shrank in his arms and held his waist tightly with her hands. She stuck her cheek on his chest, her eyes closing and her eyelashes trembling.

Feeling the trembling of her body, Stanley hugged her tightly. "Are you cold?"

Sharon nodded slightly, her teeth chattering.

"Jackson..."

Stanley raised his head and said.

Jackson understood and turned on the heater immediately. After a while, the temperature in the car rose.

Stanley's eyes swept over her and found that other than the injury on her feet, she was in good condition. She was wearing Jackson's coat. It seemed that Jackson had accompanied her for a long time today.

"Jackson, why are you with her?"

asked Stanley as he tightened his grip on Sharon in his arms. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"I went back to the King residence today. The dinner took quite a long time, so I came back late. However, I saw Sharon was targeted by two thugs on the way."

As he said this, Jackson glanced at the rearview mirror, and Stanley's eyes who was holding Sharon were as cold as a blade. "Did you let them go?"

"They were just some coward wimps. I broke a guy's hand, and the other ran away in a hurry."
