Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 260

A man who was hard at work was the most handsome. This sentence was not wrong after all.

Stanley, who was in the middle of work, looked more attractive than usual. His features were prominent and straight, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes under the lens were shining with wisdom.

Never had Sharon carefully looked at his features. She realized that not only was this man good looking at first sight, but he was also the type that defined eternal beauty.

Obsessively, Sharon stared at him.

In the end, she did not even care about the book and just laid there staring at him the whole time.

All of a sudden, the hard-working man sighed, and he turned his head to look at her. "If you keep staring at me, how am I supposed to work?"

"Ah?" Sharon did not expect that this would cause him disturbance. "But, I did not make a sound. Don't you worry about me! Just continue working."

Yes, she did not disturb him, but how could he turn a blind eye when she was looking at him lovingly?

When a guy was stared at by his wife, it was impossible that he had no other thoughts. Moreover, he was a guy that had not touched his wife for a long time!

"Sharon, if you keep looking at me like this, I can't guarantee what's next."

Stanley looked at her through his glasses. His eyes under the lens were shinning.

Immediately, Sharon understood what he meant. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "I'll... I'll stop staring then."

This way, he should be able to work in peace.

Truthfully, there was no way Stanley could continue working. His mind was full of Sharon's gaze. Her gaze was full of affection, and her eyes filled were with the bashfulness of a woman. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Also with a bit of admiration.

At his age, he had experienced many levels of worship from both men and women, as well as the subordinates who worked under him in the army. They all respectfully looked at him as if he was a myth.

However, he did not care about them. What he cared about was Sharon's gaze. The way she looked at him with worship caused ripples in his heart and made him proud. There was an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"What are you smiling at?"

Sharon's voice pulled back from his thoughts. Stanley glanced at her, pushed the glasses on his nose, and smirked. "I was wondering when you will obediently go back to sleep."

With that, Sharon looked at the time. "It's still early. I'll go to sleep at 11 o'clock."

After a pause, she was still afraid that he might stay up late. "Stanley, please try not to stay up all night and have an early rest. If you can't finish it by today, you can continue tomorrow."

Taking off his glasses, Stanley rubbed his temples. Then, he shook his head and said, "I need to get the plans for the second half of the year done so that I'll have more free time then."

"Uh, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything happening in the second half of the year?"

"Now that you are pregnant, it's currently convenient for you to get up and down the stairs alone. But when your tummy gets bigger, it'll be hard for you to do anything. So, I have to finish my work ahead of schedule to spend more time with you."

Finishing his words, Stanley put on his glasses again, lowered his head, and focused on the file, starting to concentrate on work.

He was not the kind of man who only focused on work and would not spend any time with his family.

When it came to his work, he would do his best. Similarly, as a husband and a father, he hoped that he could do his best as well.

Sharon, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned by his words. Other than feeling touched, there was no other emotion in her heart.

Other than feeling touched, there was no other emotion in her heart.

In the quiet bedroom, suddenly there was a sob.

Stanley, who was holding the pen, was startled for a moment. Then he turned his head and looked over, utterly dumbfounded.

Sharon leaned on the sofa with tears splattering all over.

Helplessly, Stanley smiled. "Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

Why was she so sad?

Bawling her eyes out, Sharon could not even speak. All she could do was shake her head.

As she just felt too moved. The way he was so kind to her took her by surprise.

In this world, aside from her father, the only person who was good to her was Stanley.

In the past, Shawn had treated her like that too. But now, his attitude had changed.

Suddenly, Sharon felt light as someone picked her up from the sofa. Following that, she felt a warmth on her cheeks, and a soft touch was wiping away her tears.

"Don't cry." Stanley tried to comfort her as he wiped away her tears. The moment she cried, he felt uncomfortable.

Sobbing, Sharon said, "I don't want to cry... but I just can't help it..."

With a helpless sigh, Stanley asked, "Why are you crying?"

Just a second ago, she was fine.

"I... I'm too moved. You've been so good to me. It's hard for me to hold back my tears." Sharon became sadder and sadder as she spoke. Tears kept falling, wetting the pajamas on her chest.

Hearing that, Stanley narrowed his eyes, moved? What did he say that moved her to tears?

"Actually, about this whole pregnancy thing. I've been kind of scared. It's hard to imagine how a child could come from my flat belly. I thought that maybe if I were close to my mom, she would have definitely taught me some knowledge in this. But I don't have a mom, and she would not have told me either..." Sharon sobbed. "And you've been so good to me, better than anyone else. It's hard to keep all these emotions in my heart, so..."

Trying her best, Sharon forcefully held back her tears. "Don't laugh at me. I did not mean to cry. I'll stop crying."

At the end of her words, she took a deep breath and forced herself to hold back her sobs.

Seeing her cry, Stanley thought to himself, "How does one feel when they pity someone?" What he was experiencing now was probably how that felt like. He felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and he only wanted to hold her tightly in his embrace. Then to give her the best things in the world, to let her live a happy life, also to make her forget about all her troubles.

"Don't be afraid..." Stanley placed her on the sofa and kissed her. "I'll always be here for you."

Never would he let her face the darkness alone. Stanley would block all the darkness behind her and forever let her live in a bright and happy world.

All of a sudden, Sharon hugged this man tightly and took the initiative to kiss him. Her feelings for him were deep, which caused her to blurt out, "My husband, I love you!"

Stanley's body trembled as he was shocked by her sudden confession. After a long while, a smile appeared across his face. But, he suddenly thought of something, then in an instant, his smile was gone.

"Sharon..."

Stanley called out her name softly.

With that, Sharon replied with a "hmm" and raised her head. "What?"

"There's something I want to tell you."

"Go ahead."

The truth was stuck in Stanley's throat as he looked into Sharon's pure and innocent eyes. Desperately, he wanted to tell her, but this was the first time in his life that he was afraid.

Afraid that if the truth was out, she could not accept it.

"What's wrong?" Sharon curiously asked as she saw he was about to speak but said nothing in the end. It was unlike Stanley's usual character.

"I'm thinking about... your father."

Just as he finished speaking, Sharon grabbed his arm nervously. "What's wrong with my father? Did something happen to him?"

"He's fine..." Stanley patted her hand. "Don't be nervous. I just wanted to ask, what are your plans if your father continues to be in a coma?"
