Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 268

Sharon hugged her knees together. Then, she rested her chin on her knees, admiring his beauty.

Glancing at her, Stanley said with a faint smile, "Do I look good?"

With a nod, Sharon praised, "Yes, you look amazing! The abs are where they are supposed to be. Your lines are fantastic as well! Plus, there's no fat at all."

"Miss, you're drooling! Please wipe off your saliva. Come on, let's eat breakfast after washing up, alright?" Stanley smiled helplessly. "Hazel has come up several times to get us."

"Alright!" Sharon nodded her head and followed his orders.

The dinning room on the first floor.

While Sharon finished her breakfast, Stanley on the opposite side was almost done with his meal as well. However, he seemed to be somewhat out of sorts as he was lightly tapping his fingers on the table. After pondering for a moment, he got up and headed to the kitchen.

Looking at his sudden actions, Sharon wondered what he was trying to do, and her gaze followed his figure.

As Stanley entered the kitchen, he stood in front of Hazel. At first, it seemed that Hazel was stunned by his words. But after that, she started to wipe her tears, and in the end, her tone was full of disbelief, "Really?"

Stanley nodded.

This time, Hazel's tears were falling like rain.

Upon seeing that, Sharon put down the cup and went over. As Hazel saw her coming in, while her eyes were still red, she asked her, "You came back with Stanley last night. So you know about your mother-in-law's return?"

Sharon glanced at Stanley, then nodded. "Yes."

When Hazel was young, she had always served Ember. Therefore, their relationship was deep. For the past few years, Ember had been recuperating abroad, so Hazel rarely saw Ember.

Therefore, the reason Stanley told Hazel about Ember's return was that he wanted to bring her to meet Ember for one last time.

When they arrived at the hospital, Hazel pushed open the door and went into the ward. When she saw Ember lying on the hospital bed weakly, her tears fell uncontrollably as she called out, "Lady Ember!" NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Ember did not expect that Hazel would come and see her. She was so excited that her eyes turned red as well.

Just then, Sharon pulled Stanley out of the room so the two elder women could have some space. Glancing at Sharon, he smiled and sat down on the bench with her in his arms.

Meanwhile, Sharon leaned her head on Stanley's shoulder, then held his hand and asked, "Is mom's illness getting better?"

As soon as she finished her words, she could clearly sense that Stanley's body stiffened.

"What's wrong?" Sharon raised her head to look at him. "Isn't she getting better?"

Stanley lowered his eyelashes, and his Adam's apple bobbed. After a while, he said blankly, "No, her condition is getting serious..."

Finally, Sharon understood why he rarely smiled since his return. Now she understood what was upsetting him.

"Can't we continue with the treatments? Let's find the best doctor, and use the best medicine! Whatever it takes! With the best treatment, she'll definitely hold on for a few more years, right?"

After saying that, Sharon felt her heart tighten. How could the heavens treat such a gentle and amiable person with such cruelty?

Before replying, Stanley twitched the corners of his mouth. "It's useless. If there were other ways, I would have used all my powers to give her the best treatment in the world."

Initially, Sharon wanted to comfort him, but in the end, she asked, "What... What caused Mom's illness?"

This question seemed to have touched Stanley's bottom line. With that, his expression became sinister, and his entire body was shrouded in a cruel aura. While his pitch- black gaze emitted a cold and harsh light, he spat out a sentence with his thin lips, "It's all because of that b*stard Isai Jones!"

Hearing that, Sharon was dumbfounded.

Because that was Stanley's father's name!

So, the person that caused Ember to end up like this was his father? There was no way!

"What exactly happened?" Sharon found it hard to believe.

It seemed that Stanley did not want to talk about this anymore, as he lightly said, "In the past, he had put slow poison in Ember's food. In the end, her body could not tolerate it anymore. Since then, she was hospitalized, and in the past few years, Ember had eaten more medicine than food."

Stanley said it word by word, and Sharon could sense the enormous hatred emanating from his body. She trembled in fear as she did not expect things to turn out this way.

In this world, how could someone be so cruel?

How could he had done such a bad thing to his wife!

Suddenly, the phone rang, which broke the atmosphere between the two of them. Then, Sharon took out her phone and glanced at it. Without any hesitation, she hung up the phone.

Glancing at the caller ID on her screen, Stanley asked, "Who was it?"

After all, Sharon never had the intention of hiding anything from him. So, in all honesty, she answered, "Shawn Lewis."

Stanley's expression darkened upon hearing this name. His face looked sullen. "When I was not around, did he often harass you?"

Casting a glance at him, Sharon hesitated for a moment, then she nodded, "He called me very often, but you can rest assured that I did not pay any attention to him, nor did I answer his calls."

Hearing that, Stanley sneered, and his eyes were brimming with anger.

Sharon knew that he must be unhappy, so she held his hand tightly and said cutely, "Don't be mad. I have been a good girl. I listened to everything you said, but Shawn was more persistent than you'd think. He kept calling me daily, but I promise he won't call again in the future."

"I hope so!"

"Of course, as long as I insist on not seeing him, he will give up sooner or later."

As Stanley pinched the space between his eyebrows, he threw a cold glance at her. "Look at what you've done. Attracting these unwanted encounters!"

Well, Sharon was not happy to hear that. "Who doesn't have a past? Didn't you date Rebecca as well? Humph, she even gave you a son."

"Sharon!" Stanley gritted his teeth. "You're looking fortrouble again, huh?"

With that, Sharon shrugged and said stubbornly, "What I said was just the truth."

"Nonsense. Which was the truth?"

"Wasn't your former fiancee Rebecca? She even brought you a son. Was that not the truth?"

"Are you intending to use this as a threat for my whole life?"

Trying hard to hold back her laughter, Sharon nodded. "I suspect that the DNA report was created by you to fool me. Hey, I don't care if Nathan's really your son. If I have a daughter in the future, it'll be good for her to have an elder brother. How about you take Nathan home to live with us?"

When he heard that, the blue veins on his forehead bulged. Stanley stared at the cunning little face in front of him and grounded his teeth. "You naughty girl, are you trying to piss me off?"

Now that Stanley was furious, Sharon was scared that he might do something to her, so she stopped teasing him as she shrugged her shoulders while giggling.

The anger suppressed in Stanley's heart was gone after seeing Sharon's beautiful, flowerlike smiling face. The bad mood he had been in for the past few days was gone after a few words she said.

In the end, he reached out to hug her, and his voice was low and deep. "Sharon, after some time, let's have a wedding, okay?"

This sudden request shocked Sharon. "Wh-why? Isn't it nice to be like this now?"

"There's no certain reason. I just want everyone to know that you're my wife."

Again, Sharon blushed because of his words, and her little heart was thumping wildly.

Meanwhile, Shawn was standing at the corner of the hospital corridor. He was staring at Sharon and Stanley, who were hugging each other, and there was no expression on his face, but his gaze hidden in the dark showed mockery and malice.
