Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 150

"No!"

She reached out to stop him.

Stanley was a little annoyed. "Be good. Don't move..."

As he spoke, he reached out to remove her clothes.

Sharon clamped her legs and tried her best to not let him succeed in removing her clothes.

Stanley frowned. He was in the heat of the moment. The more restrained she was, the more he wanted her!

His bad nature was completely exposed.

"Uh... Stanley... No..."

Sharon wanted to run away, but he pulled her back and pressed her under him again.

She knew that he would give her a hard time if he didn't get what he wanted.

So she gave up resisting and just let him do as he pleased.

Suddenly...

A ringtone resonated. It was from the phone in Stanley's pocket.

Stanley didn't seem to want to answer the phone at all. Sharon pushed him, her breath unstable. "Your... your phone..."

The annoying ringtone did not stop ringing. Stanley stopped, his expression livid, grabbed the phone from his pocket with his slender fingers, looked at it, and froze.

Rebecca.

It was from Rebecca.

Rebecca stayed at Howard's place tonight. She came back too suddenly, so Stanley could only send her to Howard's place.

Before leaving, he told Howard to call him if there was anything wrong.

At this moment, Howard suddenly called him. It must be Rebecca.

Howard would not call him in the middle of night.

Thinking of this, Stanley let go of Sharon, got up, and went to pick up the phone outside.

Sharon was stunned. She didn't expect that Stanley, who was in the mood, would suddenly stop. Under normal circumstances, if someone disturbed him, he would definitely turn off his phone.

But now he literally let her go and answered the phone. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

There was only one possibility, that was, the person who called was very important.

Who could it be?

Was it the old friend he told her about?

Thinking of this, Sharon looked at his back and blurted out, "Who is it?"

He stopped, leaned to one side, and looked at her. His face was hidden in the dark, so she couldn't see his expression but only hear his low and deep voice as he said, "A friend. You go to sleep first. I won't touch you tonight."

He was really not in the mood at the thought of Rebecca.

Sharon was startled.

Who was so capable that made him lose his mood all of a sudden?

Sharon wanted to ask, but Stanley didn't want to say more. He took his mobile phone, went to the balcony of the bedroom, and closed the door.

Sharon was stunned again. Looking at his straight back, she slowly lay down.

"Hello..." Stanley answered the phone, his eyes reflecting the dark night. "Howard."

"Stanley, it's me," Rebecca's voice came from the phone.

Stanley pinched his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Why are you awake? Didn't I tell you to rest more?"

"When I woke up, I found that you were not here. I was very nervous and couldn't fall asleep, so I borrowed Howard's phone to call you."

"Where is Howard? Give him the phone, and I'll ask him to check on you to see..."

"No, I'm fine." Rebecca interrupted him and bit her lip. "I- I miss you. Can you come and accompany me? I had a nightmare."

Stanley leaned to one side and shifted his gaze to the bedroom. From his angle, he could see Sharon's petite figure as she curled into a ball and lay on the bed. She was tossing and turning on

the large soft bed like a cub, unable to fall asleep.

Stanley lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I'll go and see you tomorrow. Have a good sleep tonight."

"Stanley..."

"Be good. Rest well. We'll meet tomorrow."

Rebecca bit her lips and hugged her knees with both hands. Her voice began to choke, and she started to cry. "For seven years, I always dreamed of coming back to you, but I was guarded at all times, and I was not allowed to step out of the house. During these seven years, I deliberately befriended the guards to let their guards down, so I stole my passport from them and sneaked back to the country... Stanley, in order to separate us, your father sent people to keep an eye on me every day. He didn't let me back here. I can't come back... I can't come back to see you!"

At this point, she broke down and began to cry. "I know that after such a long time, you must have no feelings for me, but I love you, and I still love you! Don't ignore me, don't leave me... Stanley, I love you!"

Her cry broke his heart. Stanley pursed his lips tightly and told her word by word, "I won't ignore you. Have a good rest tonight, and I will see you tomorrow. Don't worry!"

"Promise!"

"I promise!"

Rebecca smiled and wiped her tears. "I won't bother you to rest then. Good night."

After that, she hung up the phone.

Stanley took out a cigarette and lit it up. He took a long drag and calmed down. Looking at the dark night, he remembered that Rebecca had tried her best to take a bullet for him seven years ago.

He owed her.

He owed her a life, and compensation.

When Stanley returned to the bedroom, Sharon, who had been lying on her stomach, immediately sat up when she heard the noise. "Have you finished your call?"

It was such a long conversation. He talked for almost half an hour.

Stanley squinted at her. "You haven't slept yet?"

"I'm not sleepy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she yawned, her mouth wide opened.

He shot a mocking glance at her. She blushed and said, "Can't I be sleepy now?"

Without a word, he smiled and lay down.

His body carried the frigidness from the outside. Sharon shrank as she felt a little cold. Stanley glanced at her and stretched out his long arm to pull her directly into his arms.

Sharon slightly struggled. "Didn't you say that you won't touch me tonight?"

Stanley raised his hand and knocked on her forehead. "What are you thinking? You're cold, aren't you?"

Did he hold her because he saw her shrinking and thought that she was cold?

Sharon stopped struggling and stayed still obediently.

The bedroom was extremely quiet.

Hearing the steady heartbeat from his chest, Sharon licked her lips and asked, "Have you captured Harvey Wells?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask."

"I want to but I just haven't found a chance to ask... Where is he? Did you get him? Is he going to be sentenced to death if he is convicted?"

Sharon was furious when she thought of what Harvey had done.

"No." Stanley pursed his lips. "He ran away."

Sharon widened her eyes. "How is it possible..."

"At that time, Shawn suddenly appeared and was shot, so it became a little chaotic. When Jimmy and the others rushed in and wanted to subdue Harvey, he ran away from the back door. It was too dark at night. He was probably very familiar with that place and had a back-up plan, so he succeeded in avoiding Jimmy and Jackson's search."

Jackson and Jimmy were elites in military and police forces. To be able to escape from their capture proved that Harvey was not a fool.

Thinking of this, Stanley narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry, I will find him and make him pay for what he did."

His voice was so cold that it made one's heart skip a beat.

Sharon pursed her lips as another matter crossed her mind. "There is one more thing that I think you should know."

"What is it?"

Sharon thought for a moment and said, "I've seen Harvey Wells in Liam's place. I think they know each other."

As soon as she finished speaking, she could feel that Stanley tightened his grip as he was holding her. He exerted so much force that she could hardly breathe.

Sharon knew that he must be extremely angry now.

Liam befriended a scum like Harvey, so if he did something horrible, there was nothing to feel sorry about no matter how miserable his background was.

But-

After hesitating for a moment, Sharon spoke out her thoughts. "Although Liam is not a good person, I think that he has nothing to do with my kidnapping..."

"Are you taking his side?" Sharon felt a tight clutch on her chin and was forced to look up.

His relationship with Liam was so tense that he certainly hoped Sharon would take his side... Sharon fixed her eyes on him. "Last time when I met Harvey at Liam's house, I thought that he was not a good person simply by looking at him."

After a pause, she added, "If Liam and Harvey really were in cahoots, they should have attacked me last time, but they didn't. Liam asked his driver to personally send me back. He should be protecting me."

Stanley was a smart person. After stating her opinion so clearly, she thought that he would understand.

Liam had nothing to do with her kidnapping.

Stanley pursed his lips and frowned.

From the looks of it, Sharon knew that he believed her.

She rubbed her face against his arms coyly and said, "I don't like Liam either. He is very scheming and regards me as a pawn in his scheme. I am not taking his side but I am just telling the truth in a fair way."

Stanley squinted at her. "What if it really has something to do with Liam?"

Sharon sneered and said, "Then I'll deal with him myself!"

Stanley snorted and said, "You have such thin arms and legs. How can you get even with him?"

Sharon immediately said, "I have you, my dear. You can fight two people at once, so you can certainly help me kill a dozen of people by snapping your fingers."

The Casey Family was a good example.

Stanley lowered his head and bit her shoulder, vaguely saying, "Little vixen, you know how to flatter me."

Yet he loved it very much.

Sharon pretended to be in great pain and hissed, "Ouch, it hurts..."

"Where does it hurt? I didn't do it very hard!"

Although he said so, he got a bit softer than before.

Sharon curled her lips into a smile and asked, looking at his dark and deep eyes, "Were you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?"

"When Harvey Wells did that to you when you came to save me. Were you afraid?"

She was still trembling with fear at the thought of what had happened at that time.

Stanley narrowed his eyes and said, "I've dealt with people who are even more vicious than

him. There's nothing to be afraid of. If it weren't for stalling for more time, I could have killed him in less than a minute."

Sharon was stunned.
