Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 57

Liam, who was sitting opposite Sharon, took a glass, shook it slightly, and slowly took a sip. His expression of enjoyment paired with his stunning looks was too attractive.

Sharon thought to herself, "How can there be such a beautiful man in this world? He really makes women jealous."

At the same time, he was so mysterious that she could not see him through.

When he was with her in the hospital, the feeling he gave her made her feel at ease and moved.

But now, it was unrestrained frivolous.

She didn't understand why a person could emit two extreme vibes.

Seeing that she was staring at him, Liam smiled playfully and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sharon looked away, shook her head, and said with a smile, "I just think that you are very beautiful."

Liam blinked, astounded.

It was not pleasant for a man to be praised as beautiful.

Noticing his darkening face, indicating that he might be unhappy, Sharon quickly changed the subject to avoid awkwardness. "Mr. Frazier, I haven't thanked you for what happened in the hospital last time."

Liam raised his eyebrows. "Do you want to thank me?"

"Of course."

"OK, how do you want to thank me?"

"Uh... This dinner is my treat, okay?"

"It's not worth it." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Liam stared at her with a romantic look in his eyes. "If I want to receive the thank-you gift from whoever owes me a favor, it will generally be a big deal."

Sharon was stunned. "Then what kind of thank-you gift do you want?"

"You!"

He thought, but he didn't say it out loud.

He was only getting closer to her now, and he didn't want to scare her with his impetuous action.

"Let's take a rain check on the thank-you gift. I'll let you pay it back when I think of something in the future. What do you think?"

"Okay."

When they were almost at the end of dinner, Sharon looked around and whispered, "I'll go to the restroom. Please wait for me for a while. I'll be back soon."

Liam smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Sharon nodded and went to the restroom under the guidance of the waiter.

As soon as she left, someone who was sitting in the corner had a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

That person was Cecilia. She didn't expect to meet Sharon here. Thank God, she finally had a chance to take revenge!

She sneered silently in her heart, but smiled gently at the man in front of her and said, " Derrick, I'll go to the restroom. I'll be back soon."

Derrick Wilkins stared at her charming face and was lost in thought. He quickly nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you."

Cecilia stood up and followed Sharon.

After going to the toilet, Sharon came out of the stall and opened the door. As soon as she saw Cecilia who was standing in front of the mirror, fixing her makeup, she was stunned.

"Look at us. Fate really brings us together." Cecilia casually flipped her long hair and turned to look at Sharon with a faint smile on her face.

Sharon frowned and pursed her lips, wondering what she wanted to do.

She stayed put.

"I haven't seen you for only a few years, but you have become more and more capable. I really never expect that." Cecilia sized her up and clicked her tongue. "You used to kneel in front of my door like a beggar asking for money, but after a few years, you stand upright in your decent clothing to hook up with rich people. Way to go, girl!"

Sharon looked at her with no expression. "It's strange. There's no dog here. How could I hear a dog barking?"

"You..."

Cecilia raised her hand and was about to hit her, but Sharon avoided her and looked at her coldly. "Oh? Haven't you have enough slap that day?"

"B*tch!"

Feeling hurtful from Sharon's sarcasm, Cecilia's expression suddenly changed. "I'll kill you right now!"

Sharon might look indifferent and calm, but she was actually very scared and anxious, for fear that Cecilia would fight with her in public. She shifted her focus, pointed to the outside, and said, "This is a high-end restaurant. I see that you come out for dinner in such a beautiful dress. You must have a date with a man. If you make a scene now, aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will see your crazy shrew side?"

Her short remarks hit Cecilia's sore spot directly.

Cecilia did have some concerns. Derrick's family was rich and powerful. It was not easy for her to get to know him and this was her first time going out on a date with him today, so she didn't want to give him a bad impression.

Seeing her hesitation, Sharon assumed it was the perfect time to escape so she immediately turned around.

"The man in the hospital came to be unusual, and today, you're with a man who can afford to bring you here for dinner!" Cecilia's cold voice sounded behind her. "You're really my good sister. You're really good at two-timing business."

"Does she think that I have a relationship with Liam?" Sharon thought and rolled her eyes in disdain.

She simply walked away without further explanation.

"If the man outside and the man in the hospital knew about the nasty things you and Shawn had done back then, would they still want you?"

Sharon's expression changed dramatically as if she had been stabbed in the ribs. A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes, but she looked furious. She clenched her fists and turned to glare at Cecilia coldly.

Cecilia smiled even more smugly. "Why? Are you scared? Now that you're scared, beg me. Kneel down before me. Maybe I can help you keep the dirty secret!"

Sharon spat out three words coldly, "In your dreams!"

"Okay. You better keep an eye on the two men. Don't let them know that you're a loose woman who Shawn used to screw!"

Sharon sneered. "Did Shawn screw me or you? You know it clearly yourself!"

"Oh, so you know about this." Cecilia laughed cockily. "When Shawn held me in his arms and penetrated me, he said that I was a hundred times more attractive than you. He also told me that he actually had fallen in love with me a long time ago, but he didn't spill the beans because he was afraid of hurting your feelings."

Sharon was so disgusted she wanted to puke, but Cecilia succeeded in hurting her with words. Sharon quickly ran away like an injured hedgehog.

Cecilia sneered smugly as she won in this verbal battle.

Once out of the restroom, Sharon leaned against the wall. As she reminisced about the past, she felt uncomfortable and irritated.

Cecilia's words pierced into her heart like a sharp arrow, causing her great pain.

With a burst of pain in her head, Sharon squatted down with her hands covering her head. Memories flooded her mind like a tide.

When she was 18, she graduated from high school and was accepted by the university she wanted to go to. She went to Shawn in a hurry, but what did she see?

She saw Shawn and Cecilia lying on the bed, naked.

She closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.

In the restaurant.

Liam raised his wrist to look at the time for the third time, his eyes full of impatience. Why did it take her so long to go to the restroom?

He pushed the chair away and got up, planning to look for her in person.

As soon as he passed the corner, he saw a familiar figure standing by the wall. He frowned and walked over, only to find that there was something wrong with Sharon's expression. She was very pale and her eyes were red like a rabbit.

"Had she cried?" Liam mumbled, surprised.

Soon, Sharon saw him. She was startled, rubbed her eyes quickly, and asked awkwardly, "W-Why did you come here?"

Liam stared at her reddish eyes. "You haven't come back for a long time, so I thought you fell into the toilet."

Sharon pursed her lips awkwardly.

"How's it going? Are you full? If you're not, I'll take you to eat something else..."

"I'm full." Sharon was so shocked that she immediately waved her hand.

"Let's go then."

Sharon nodded. "Yes."

After paying the bill, the two left. They were awfully quiet. Sharon's mind seemed to be occupied with something as she followed behind Liam when he suddenly stopped.

"Thump..."
