Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 286

Sharon felt a little dizzy, and her body uncontrollably staggered. Seeing her condition, Howard immediately asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Before he could finish his words, Sharon had already fallen backward. Immediately, Howard reacted quickly, holding her in his arms.

After a while, only did she regain her strength and stood up. Getting out of his arms, she rubbed her temples and answered, "I'm fine. It's probably because I've been standing under the sun for too long, and I haven't had lunch yet, so I felt weak."

Upon hearing that, Howard frowned. "Are you really sure you're okay?"

"Yes." Nodding her head, Sharon looked around. However, she still couldn't find the person that she wanted to see. With that, she lowered her gaze in disappointment, smiling bitterly.

It was hard for her to be treated coldly by Stanley...

"Alright, don't wait for him anymore. Since it's already one o'clock, I guess he won't be here." After he finished his words, Howard brought Sharon to a shady spot. He then complained, "You better take care of yourself, otherwise, Ember will scold me later."

Hearing that, she said nothing, showing no emotion.

Meanwhile, Howard looked at the sky. "I think waiting for him every day is not going to work. We have to take the initiative. Do you know where Stanley stays?"

Sharon shook her head.

"What about his work place?"

Still, Sharon shook her head.

With that, Howard was clueless on what they should do next.

So, he thought it was time for him to do something. Since he already knew that Stanley was staying in Allgate City, he could hire someone to investigate his whereabouts...

Meanwhile, Ayana came to the Warner Group and asked one of the secretaries, "Is Mr. Warner here?"

In fact, Ayana was once the unfavored daughter in the Warner Family. But ever since she brought Stanley back to her family four years ago, all the employees began to respect her. After all, Stanley had helped the Warner Group from getting bankrupt. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hence, the secretary replied to Ayana respectfully, "He is in the office."

Hearing the reply, Ayana nodded. "What was his schedule today? Where did he go today?"

After thinking for a moment, the secretary said, "He had a meeting this morning. Then, he went out for a while at noon for lunch. Right now, he needs to deal with some documents for two hours. After that, he would have dinner at night."

When Ayana entered Stanley's office, she saw him focusing on his work. His sleeves were rolled up, exposing his strong forearm. The sunset glow fell on his shoulder as if it had cast a layer of light on him.

Ayana stared at him in a daze, thinking that he was such an outstanding man. She was blessed with his charm every day during their four years of living together.

Any woman, after living with such a man, would definitely fall in love with him deeply.

As she was lost in her thoughts, Stanley, who initially buried himself in the work, looked up and interrupted her thoughts. "Why didn't you tell me you're coming?"

Hearing his question, Ayana came to her senses and smiled. Then, she walked over to him and said, "I just want to come here without any reason."

"When did you discharge?"

"This morning." Ayana pursed her lips and looked at him. "Last night, I told you that I want to leave the hospital this morning, and I asked you to pick me up."

Upon hearing that, Stanley was taken aback. "Did I say that?"

As soon as he asked, Ayana felt awkward.

"I'm sorry, but I've probably forgotten about it because I was too busy." Stanley pressed on his eyebrows, putting down the pen in his hand.

Ayana didn't continue after hearing what he said. She pursed her lips and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Stop working for a while. Let's get dinner first."

Without any hesitation, Stanley rejected, "Ayana, I think I can't make it tonight because there is still a lot of work that I have to deal with."

Once again, Stanley's refusal disappointed Ayana. "You forgot to pick me up at the hospital this morning, and now you even can't have dinner with me?"

Slowly, Stanley raised his head again. He squinted at Ayana, who was in front of him, raising his eyebrows. "Are you mad at me?" "Yes!"

With his slender fingers, Stanley tapped on the dark-colored table lightly. He put down the pen in his hand and said, "There's something I want to ask you."

Upon hearing that, Ayana frowned.

"Since you know something about my past, why didn't you tell me about it?" Stanley's face gradually darkened. "Why did you keep it a secret until now?"

Facing his confrontation, Ayana was shocked as she did not expect that he would suddenly ask her about it. Back then, she did have some selfish motives for saving him, and thereby she decided not to tell him the truth after knowing that he had lost his memory accidentally.

And now, it seemed that Sharon's appearance had rather affected him.

"You didn't take the initiative to ask me, so I didn't tell you about it." Ayana pursed her lips, looking at him with her eyes misted over with tears. "Are you now blaming me for deceiving you?"

Staring at her for a few seconds, Stanley then suddenly laughed, "No, forget about it. You're hungry, huh? Alright, let's get dinner."

After that, he put down the pen in his hand and got up.

Ever since she knew him, Ayana had always been clueless about what he was actually thinking. A second ago, he was obviously angry with her, but now it seemed that nothing had happened...

In the bar.

Over the past few years, Sharon had been busy with her work and rarely came out to have fun. This was the first time in the past four years that she came to a bar. And now, she had drunk two glasses of wine alone, saying nothing. Looking at her condition, Mark was worried about her.

"Sharon, are you in a bad mood?" Mark was two years younger than her, and he was a lively and lovely guy.

"No, I'm not." Sharon leaned against the couch, with a glass of wine in her hand. In a daze, she drank the wine slowly.

Meanwhile, Mark insisted on knowing the answer, "Sharon, you can just tell me what's wrong. Who knows, I may be able to help solve your problem."

Turning her head, Sharon glanced at him. "Can I ask you something?" "Sure!" "Who gives you the order to stay by my side?" Hearing that, Mark was taken aback. Just when he was about to explain it, Sharon's phone rang all of a sudden. Since it was a bit noisy in the bar, she went out of the bar, ignoring Mark, then she answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Why is there no one in your house? Are you not at home?"

Then, Ariah added, "I'm outside your house now, and no one's there."

Sharon came to a quiet place, standing in the corner. "Ariah, are you there alone? I'm currently not in Beachmarsh: I'm in Allgate now."

"What?" Ariah was dumbfounded. "Why do you go there? It's so far away!"

Over the past few years, Sharon's relationship with Ariah had gotten closer, and they could talk about everything.

Meanwhile, leaning against the wall, Sharon raised her head, looking at the ceiling. She then said, "Ariah, I've found Stanley."

For a moment, there was only silence on the other end of the line.

At the same time, Sharon was remaining silent as well.

After a pause, Sharon asked, "Ariah?¹ Ariah sighed. "Sharon, are you drunk? Are you sure that it's not the wrong person again?"

In the past few years, there were several times when Sharon drank with Ariah at her house, and whenever she was drunk, she would keep saying that she saw Stanley, just like what she told Ariah on the phone just now.
