Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 185

"Did you see the equipment in my hands? I am a reporter and I'm here to take scandalous pictures of the celebrities," said Sharon.

She smiled and added, "Miss, have you seen Jewel Russell? If you have, you can tell me. I will pay you."

Although she could do this by herself, some help from the residents was much appreciated.

The woman shook her head with a smile. "Sorry, I don't know the person you mentioned."

Right, she just came back from abroad.

Sharon thought for a moment and asked, "Do you live here?"

The woman nodded. "Yes."

"What's your last name?" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The woman looked into her eyes and smiled slowly. "Lambert."

"Lambert?" Sharon nodded. "Hello, Miss Lambert. Come, please sit here."

As Sharon spoke, she pulled the woman over, patted the seat next to her, and asked her to sit down.

The woman was a little hesitant. Sharon stretched out her hand and tugged her again. "Oh, it's not dirty. Even if it is, you can take a shower later."

The woman looked at her skeptically.

"Come on, let me show you." Sharon took out her mobile phone and found Jewel's photo. "It's this woman. If you see her in the future, you can call me. I'll come right away."

The woman hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."

Sharon was overjoyed and immediately exchanged the phone number with her. "Miss Lambert, you used to live abroad?"

The woman smiled and said, "Yes."

"How are you feeling now that you're back home? Are you getting used to the life here?"

"As long as the person you love is around, it's not hard to get through the day."

Sharon understood her implication. "You're married?"

"No. I used to have a fiance though, but something happened later and he is now with another woman."

Upon hearing this, Sharon was immediately filled with righteous indignation. "What a jerk!"

The woman gave her a meaningful look and smiled. "I don't blame him. I've been away for a few years. It's normal for him to have another woman around him."

Sharon was stunned. "Then do you still love him?"

"Yes." The woman nodded firmly and looked far away. "I fell in love with him since I was 18 years old. Later, he confessed his feelings to me and said that he would be with me and take care of me for the rest of my life. From then on, I had fallen in love with him."

Sharon looked at this woman up and down, secretly guessing her age.

As if she could read Sharon's thought, the woman smiled slowly. "Ten years. I love him for ten years."

Sharon thought to herself, "Ten years is a long time. She invested her youth in those ten years."

The woman looked at her with her head tilted. "What about you? Are you married?"

Sharon thought that there was no harm in telling a stranger about this, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I am married."

The woman's gazes darkened. "I can't tell. You look so young."

"Well, I look young, but I'm not." Sharon changed the subject since she didn't want to talk about her own business, "Let's talk about you. Now that you come back and find that the man you love is married, what are you going to do?"

"I'll wait for him."

"Huh?" Sharon did not expect that she would be willing to be a mistress.

"There is no love between him and his wife. I know that, so I will wait for him." The woman locked her gaze ahead with a smile on her lips. "He loves me. I can feel it from his eyes. He and his wife will get divorced sooner or later, so I will wait for him."

Upon hearing this, Sharon sighed. "This woman is so persistent."

However, Sharon had to remind her, "Miss Lambert, no matter you are abroad or here, if you interfere with a married couple, you will be considered a family-wrecking mistress."

Sharon felt the need to advise her since she had a good conversation with this woman.

But after she finished, the woman in front of her looked straight at her for a few seconds. Then she looked away to hide the emotions in her eyes. She smiled and said in a low voice, "They don't love each other; we are. To me, his wife is the third wheel in this relationship."

Sharon was bewildered.

She thought this woman had quite a distorted view in this.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she held it back.

After all, it was someone else's business. It was not good for her to talk too much, for fear that she would piss the woman off.

The woman looked up at her hesitant expression and smiled casually. "Do you think I'm wrong?"

Sharon stuttered a little awkwardly, "No... no..."

"Then you have not really loved someone, because if you had, you would certainly be in the same state of mind that I am."

Sharon thought about it. What would happen if it happened to her and Stanley? She figured that she would definitely not think like this woman. She was stubborn but not distorted. She would not put herself in a desperate situation for a man.

Even if she loved him very much, she would not allow herself to be like this.

"We loved each other very much at that time. He loved me very much and doted on me no matter what I do."

While Sharon was thinking, the woman opened her mouth and interrupted her thoughts.

"The man I love is very reserved and quiet. Those who don't know him must think that he is cold and heartless, but when you really get to know him, you will realize that he will do anything for you. He puts me in his heart. When he had time, he would call me and come to me. We held hands for the first time, kissed for the first time, and made love for the first time..."

"Miss Lambert..." Sharon interrupted her awkwardly, "You don't have to tell me in detail about this."

The woman stared at her with such a straight glance that brought goosebumps to Sharon's scalp. She touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why do you look at me like this?"

The woman looked away and smiled faintly. "Nothing."

Sharon looked at her side profile. The corner of her mouth outlined a faint smile that revealed a gentle and charming temperament. Her silky black hair paired with the white dress left a deep impression on people...

As Sharon stared at her, she suddenly blurted out, "Miss Lambert, have we met before?"

The woman looked up and said, "No. This is the first time I've seen you."

"Is that so?" Sharon scratched her head and muttered, "But I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, but I can't remember where..."

When this woman first appeared, Sharon had a familiar feeling and felt that she must have seen her somewhere, but there was no inkling about it.

Did she remember it wrongly?

"Miss Cruz, what about you? Are you in love with your husband?" The woman interrupted her thought.

Sharon suddenly came to her senses.

Did Stanley love her?

She didn't know.

Even if he didn't love her, he must have liked her a little.

One could feel that he loved her or not. As Sharon was with him, she gradually felt that Stanley genuinely cared about her.

Biting her lower lip, Sharon nodded. "Our relationship is very complicated. When I married my husband, there were some other factors in it and it was a loveless marriage, but now I think he likes me."

The expression on her face gradually faded away as the woman listened and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. It was so fast that Sharon could not see it.
