Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 126

After a while, Stanley pursed his lips tightly and reached his powerful arms out to hold Sharon in his embrace tightly.

She was stunned.

She didn't expect that he would hug her back.

She thought he was still angry.

Why did he hug her on his own accord? Was he not mad anymore?

Miraculously, her shaking body slowly calmed down in his reassuring embrace.

Sharon's small face was lying in his arms, and her eyes were darting around curiously. "Where are we?"

She could see that this was not his villa.

"Jackson's house."

Sharon remembered such a person and nodded.

Stanley asked her, "Do you remember what happened?"

"Well, I chased after you and thought that I could catch up with you, but you drove farther and farther away. Later, it began to thunder and rain. I was afraid and couldn't walk, and then I remembered that there were two hooligans harassing me..."

After thinking for a while, Sharon came to her senses and asked, "Did Jackson save me?"

"You're not that stupid after all," Stanley snorted.

Nevertheless, he was still upset about her running out in the middle of the night regardless of the consequences. "Something bad almost happened to you this time. Let's see if you dare to run away at this hour next time."

"No, I won't do it again." Sharon started to fear after thinking about it. On second thought, she realized that it was not her fault, so she pouted and muttered, "If you hadn't said that you would go to see Jewel, I wouldn't have chased after you..."

"You could be with Liam Frazier; why couldn't I go to see Jewel?"

"Hey, you're being unreasonable..."

"Hmm?"

As soon as he raised his voice, Sharon shrugged and stopped arguing with him.

She sniffed and said unhappily, "Did you really go to meet her?"

Stanley asked deliberately, "Who?"

"Jewel!"

The corners of Stanley's mouth slowly curled up into a smirk as he found out that she cared so much about his whereabouts. She was very jealous.

But unexpectedly, instead of despising her jealousy, he was very glee.

"Yeah, I went to see her."

Stanley said casually, "You ruined our sweet time together. I thought I could spend the night with her, but you..."

"Stanley, you b*stard!"

Sharon's loud roar echoed the room. She was so angry that she trembled all over as she suddenly sat up from the bed and sat on his belly. Gritting her teeth and looking at him with red eyes, she wanted to beat him but dared not to.

She didn't know why she was so worked up. When she heard that he was going to spend the night with Jewel, she became extremely annoyed and agitated.

She wasn't like this in the past. She didn't care no matter how long he wasn't home. In fact, she even thought it would be best if he didn't come back forever.

But now...

She was confused.

How could there be such a big change in her heart in such a short period of time?

Stanley squinted at the woman on his body and said, "Come down."

Hot- headed, she shook her head and said, "No!"

Stanley laughed. "Are you sure?"

"No... Ah..."

Abruptly, she felt the world spinning as she was pinned under Stanley.

Their positions changed instantly.

He was above her, pinning her under him.

He stared at her with his hot gazes with a sense of danger. "What about now? Do you still want to ride me?"

The corner of Sharon's mouth twitched.

He was so blunt and straightforward. "You are so heavy. Get up." She reached out and pushed him.

Stanley didn't move, and his eyes became hotter and hotter. "It's not at home, so I'll let you go."

What did he mean?

Before Sharon could react, he who was on top of her moved and lay back to her side. However, he was huffing and puffing.

Sharon suddenly understood what he meant. Her face turned red again and she opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't say a word.

In the quiet bedroom, his voice suddenly sounded, "I didn't go to Jewel's place. I went to Jimmy's instead."

Sharon was still complaining about him quietly. When she heard this, she immediately widened her eyes, turned her head, and looked at him. "What... did you say?"

"I won't say it twice."

He snorted smugly.

Sharon swallowed and said, "R-Really?"

Stanley turned his head and stared at her for two seconds. Suddenly, he smiled softly and said, "Yes, really. You can call Jimmy to see if I'm telling the truth."

Sharon didn't expect that he would explain himself, and she also didn't expect that he didn't go to see Jewel...

After learning the truth, the little depression in her heart suddenly disappeared.

"But you..." His deep and shallow voice sounded in her ear, "Why do you care so much about me going to see Jewel, huh?"

Sharon blurted out, "Who cares?"

"Yes, you don't care. You ran out with bare feet and chased after me for such a long time. What's more, you were not furious when you heard that I was going to see Jewel!"

Sharon was rendered speechless. She lowered her eyes and bit her lips, feeling more and more confused.

What was wrong with her?

Did she like him?

No, she didn't. She knew from the beginning that she could not like him, so she would not fall for him for the rest of her life.

But...

Why would she care so much if she didn't like him?

She figured, perhaps she was used to his existence. She was used to him sleeping with her every night. She was used to seeing him when she got up the next day. She was even more used to his warmth and love during their intimate moment...

She closed her eyes and told herself that she was just used to it.

She was used to having him by her side.

She knew that these habits were horrible, but she couldn't help it as if she was addicted to them.

She closed her eyes and kept silent by pursing her lips.

The bedroom was quiet again.

After a long time, when Stanley thought that she had fallen asleep, she suddenly spoke slowly, "I was afraid of thunder because my parents often quarreled with each other on the rainy day when I was young, and when this happened, they would lock me up in a small room. It was dark and scary inside. I hid in the room and cried while they were quarreling outside. This happened so much so that I had a phobia. When it rained, I would be particularly timid..."

Stanley was stunned. A look of astonishment flashed across his eyes, as well as heartache.

He thought she was a coward by nature, but he didn't expect there was such a factor.

"Sometimes I would still be afraid of thunder and rain even when I grew up. Although I told myself that it was nothing, I still felt terrified deep in my heart."

Sharon said with a bitter smile, "Am I useless?"

Stanley's Adam's apple moved and he said in a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter. I'll be with you every time it's raining and thundering in the future."

Sharon was stunned for a moment. Her heart was slowly thumping faster and faster, and strange emotions began to breed in her heart.

Her heart was full of emotion.

These words were like the most lethal weapon to tackle women's hearts.

She couldn't help but smile, but when she thought of something, she lowered her eyes in despair.

She would propose a divorce when she graduated a year later. By then, they would go their separate ways, so he wouldn't be there to accompany her whenever there was rain or thunder as he said.

Putting away these thoughts, Sharon continued to say, "Well, when you went to Grasmere for a business trip for two days, it was also raining and thundering at Beachmarsh City like today, but the house was empty and Hazel was not there too. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move..."

Sharon remembered what happened that day, and her heart was still faintly sore. "I called you, but it was a woman who answered the phone. She said that you were taking a bath..."

"Sharon!" Stanley interrupted her abruptly, propped up his upper body, and looked at her intensely. "I didn't sleep with that woman that night. Do you believe me?"

The light in his eyes was too bright. Somehow, Sharon blurted out, "I believe you."

There was a smile at the corner of Stanley's mouth. "Good girl."

Although she was praised, Sharon was not happy at all. "Look, this is the difference between you and me!"

"What?"

"You are narrow-minded and think that there is something between Liam and me, but when it comes to you, I trust you unconditionally. Do you see the gap between us?"

Stanley squinted at her, speechless.

He had to think in the wrong way because Liam had a bad reputation in this department.

Sharon couldn't help but feel puffed up as this was the first time that she rendered him speechless. "It was such a good offer, you and the girl alone in the room. Why hadn't you had sex with her?"

Stanley lifted her chin with a faint smile. "I'll consider your suggestion next time. How about it?" "What did you say!"

"Didn't you say that I didn't seize the opportunity?"

This time, it was Sharon's turn to be rendered speechless.

The next day.

When Sharon opened her eyes, the man beside her was still asleep. She slept very well last night. It was a dreamless and hearty slumber. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Perhaps it was because he was lying beside her that she could sleep so peacefully.

After waiting for a while, Stanley still didn't wake up, so Sharon quietly got up and washed up.

It wasn't appropriate to sleep in since she was at other people's home.

The toiletries in the bathroom on the second floor were all brand new. When Sharon brushed her teeth, she thought that Jackson would be so meticulous in such a small detail despite looking so manly and staunch.

After washing up, she went downstairs.

There was no one downstairs. Sharon rubbed her belly as she walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

The kitchen was equipped with complete sets of pots and pans, as well as the refrigerator which was full of food.

Sharon rolled up her sleeves and decided to make breakfast.

Jackson came out of the bathroom and heard the commotion in the kitchen. He walked over suspiciously and saw the figure of a woman in a goose-yellow nightdress...

Feeling uneasy, Sharon soon found that someone was staring at her and immediately turned around in shock.

"Jackson?"

Seeing the person behind him, Sharon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem."

Jackson looked down and smiled. He came out from behind the door and said, "Yeah, it's me.

He must have just taken a shower as his upper body was naked, revealing his bulging muscles were, and there was only a bath towel around his waist... Sharon immediately turned her face away, feeling embarrassed and shy.

Jackson, who had such a good observation ability, quickly reacted. He took the coat on the side and put it on while explaining, "Sorry. I came straight over when I heard some noises and forgot that I wasn't wearing anything on."

Seeing that he was dressed, Sharon smiled and said, "I saw no one downstairs. I thought you haven't get up, so I planned to make breakfast."
