Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 274

When they were eating, Sharon could feel the unhappiness of the man opposite her. Although he did not express it, the faint look on his face made it clear that he was unhappy.

Bitting on her chopsticks, Sharon did not understand why he was so unhappy. She had been out for just a short while, hadn't she?

"Honey..." Sharon called him in a fawning manner.

Stanley raised his head, and the expression on his face was calm as he looked at her.

Then, Sharon pointed at the bowl opposite her and said, "I want to drink some soup. Will you please get me some?"

Looking at her for a moment, Stanley then picked up her bowl and ladled soup for her, but he did not say a single word. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sharon was frustrated. Alas, he was really mad.

What a stingy guy!

After she returned to her bedroom and took a bath, Stanley was not in the room. Sharon thought he might be in the study, but his voice came from the balcony, and she listened for a while. It seemed like he was talking to someone on the phone.

When Stanley returned, Sharon took the initiative to move closer to him. "Who did you call?"

Taking a glance at her, Stanley warned, "Don't touch me."

Those three words almost caused Sharon's temper to explode after she had suppressed it for an hour. Just because she did not follow his orders and went out for a while. Was there a need for him

to put on a face like this?

"Stanley, listen..."

"If you dress like this, don't touch me."

The two of them spoke almost at the same time.

After Stanley finished, Sharon was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant. Subconsciously, she lowered her head to look at the sleeping gown on her body, and her chest was a bit exposed... So the reason why he refused her touch was that her clothes were too revealing?

Sharon's face flushed red. "I just randomly took one from the closet. I think it's pretty conservative."

The sleeping gown was indeed conservative, but the person Stanley was now could not help but react when he saw that her gown was a little sexy. His Adam's apple bobbed. Then, he asked, "What were you trying to tell me just now?"

Sharon curled her lips. "I thought you were still angry with me!"

Hugging her, Stanley sighed. "You didn't do anything wrong. Why should I be angry with you?"

"But you've been keeping a straight face?"

Hearing that, Stanley was silent. He only thought that she was so sensible and well-behaved, which made him feel sad. He never thought that the woman he fell in love with would be her.

How nice it would be if they were married without a purpose, just a normal relationship from the beginning.

The woman in his arms kept twisting and turning. She showed no signs of stopping. Gradually, Stanley's body caught on fire, so he pushed her away from his arms and frowned. "Go to sleep. I'm going to the study..."

"Honey." Before Stanley could finish his words, his hands were grabbed. Originally, Sharon wanted to flirt with him, but she lacked experience. Instead, it became a weird wink. "I'm dressed like this. Yet you still have the mood to work?"

Seeing how to cure she looked with her facial features scrunched together, Stanley suppressed his laughter and raised his eyebrows. "What's this? Are you trying to seduce me?"

Sharon solemnly nodded. "Bingo!"

With his eyes getting deeper, Stanley looked down at her beautiful face, and his body was a little hot. He had not touched her ever since she got pregnant. Every time he had some thoughts, he would think of the doctor's words, so he endured it.

However, this was the first time that this woman had 'seduced' him. And Stanley had to admit that she had indeed successfully turned him on.

Usually, taking the initiative to say those words was already embarrassing enough for her. Now that he was just standing still, she felt a little awkward and angry. She swung off his hand and wanted to divert the embarrassment, "All right, you should go work. I'm so sleepy. So I'm going to sleep first."

As soon as she took a step, her body suddenly felt tightened, and she was pulled into his broad chest.

Stanley wrapped his arms around her waist and scooped her up before striding towards the bed, his eyes burning with passion.

While Sharon had her face buried in his chest as she muttered, "Didn't you just stand there with no reaction? Why are you taking the initiative now?"

Putting her gently on the bed, Stanley propped up his arms and looked at her from above. His eyes were shining, and his voice was low and hoarse. "With no reaction, huh?"

As he spoke, his waist moved...

Feeling the reaction on him, Sharon glared at him with a blush on her face. She wasn't referring to his body when she said that he did not have any reaction...

Though Stanley was excited, he hesitated. It seems that he wanted to retreat. Sharon knew what he was worried about, so she looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, "Just be gentle, you can..."

With that, her words were like a bomb, setting off Stanley, whose body was as tight as iron.

Needless to say, the night was wild.

The next day, when Sharon woke up, her body was wrapped in a warm embrace. Smelling Stanley's faint scent, she was fighting off the urge to sleep, but Stanley had already woken up. As he pinched her face, he asked, "Still sleepy?"

Sharon blurrily replied with a 'Yes'.

"I'm going to the company. You continue to rest. I'll remind Hazel not to come upstairs and disturb you. Get up and eat when you're hungry, okay?"

Exhausted, Sharon did not even know what he was talking about. All she wanted was to sleep. So she pulled the blanket after mumbling a few times.

Looking at her, Stanley smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "Be good and wait for me at home. If you're bored, watch some TV and don't go anywhere. It's enough that I'll be there to keep Mom company. So, stay at home and have a good rest. Do you hear me?"

Because Stanley was so long-winded, Sharon grew impatient this time. "I know! You're really noisy. I want to sleep..."

Stanley went quiet after being yelled at.

It was already noon when Sharon woke up again. She had a good sleep. However, she felt a little embarrassed when she went downstairs. Hazel smiled and said, "Mister told me not to call you and let you sleep for a while."

The smile in Hazel's eyes was obvious.

Sharon was a little embarrassed and lowered her head to eat.

Not long after the meal, her phone rang. Sharon thought it was Shawn. In the past two days, Shawn had consistently called her. To her surprise, when she picked up the phone, the caller was not him.

"Hello, Dr. Wallace, why did you think of calling me today?" Sharon let out a sigh of relief as it was not Shawn. During this period of time, she did not know how to face him.

Dr. Wallace's voice was trembling. "Miss... Miss Cruz... can you come to the hospital?"

As soon as Sharon heard that, she felt her heart tightening. "What happened?"

"It's... It's nothing. Miss Cruz, please come over now. I'll tell you when you arrive."

It seemed that Dr. Wallace was afraid that she might overthink, so he hung up the phone without saying anything.

Sharon's mind was buzzing as she sat there for a while, unable to come back to her senses. Suddenly, her entire body shuddered. After recovering, she got up and began walking outside.

Hazel was coming out of the kitchen and was shocked to see her like this. "Mrs. Jones, what's wrong? Why do you look pale?"

It seemed as Sharon did not hear what Hazel had said as her mind was filled with Dr. Wallace's tone on the phone. She had known Dr. Wallace for about a year as her father's main practitioner. Never had she heard Dr. Wallace speak to her in such a tone.

Had something happened to her father?

Sharon did not dare to and did not want to overthink. Now she just wanted to go to the hospital as soon as possible to see what was happening.

Hazel took the keys and chased after her. "Where are you going?"
