Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 298

Why didn't she realize the presence of this man earlier when she had just arrived?

Both surprised and suspicious at the same time, Sharon thought maybe it could be that she was too anxious about her daughter's safety, which was why she didn't notice the person next to her.

When Stanley heard her question, he faintly raised an eyebrow and uttered, "I've been standing here the entire time, and you were the one who didn't see me, but now you are blaming me?"

With her lips tightly pursed together, Sharon remained silent. Never had she expected Stanley to come to Beachmarsh and also meet the children in such a way.

These two children belonged to him. Although she did not intend to hide it from him, she felt that it was not the right time yet, and she was hoping to tell him when his memory was restored.

But now that he had discovered it in advance, except for the initial panic Sharon was having, she slowly calmed down.

Besides, she knew there would always be a solution to each problem.

After thinking it through, she was not so nervous anymore, and she even took the initiative to speak, "Ah, Mr. Jones. It has been a long time since we last met. Shouldn't you be in Allgate? What made you came all the way here to Beachmarsh?"

At that moment, Stanley narrowed his eyes at her. From her tone, he could tell that she was talking to him as if he was a stranger. However, she was not like this when she was back in Allgate. Why did her attitude suddenly change when she returned to Beachmarsh?

After staring at her for a while, Stanley finally retracted his gaze and looked at the two children behind her. "What lovely children you have."

With a smile, Sharon answered, "Indeed, they are really cute."

How could her children not be cute?

Meanwhile, Stanley's gaze shifted as he continued to ask, "Where is their father? Why did I not see him anywhere?"

At that moment, Sharon's gaze was fixed on him, as if she wanted to pierce a hole through his body with it. Unable to withstand her fiery gaze, Stanley cleared his throat and said, "Uh, since these two children are yours, then I won't disturb you anymore. We shall continue the conversation when we meet next time."

After that, he turned around and motioned his assistant to leave. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

However, the assistant's gossipy gaze was glued to Sharon, and he didn't seem like he wanted to leave at all.

When Stanley saw his assistant's actions, his face darkened. Just as he was about to yell at his assistant, Sharon's faint voice drifted over from behind, "The children's father is so near, yet so far."

Even his assistant, who always had an inscrutable mind, understood what she meant. Though he was shocked, his gaze kept going back and forth between the two children and Mr. Warner's face. In the end, he got so shocked that he almost blurted out, "Mr. Warner, these two children do look like you!"

However, the children's facial features were not fully developed yet, so it was impossible to tell who they resembled if he didn't look carefully. After the assistant stared at him carefully for a moment, he finally found something fishy. In fact, he was even more convinced that these two children were absolutely related to Stanley!

Meanwhile, Stanley listened to his assistant's words, and his face fell. With his lips pursed tightly, he seemed angry.

At that moment, the assistant's heart skipped a beat, as he thought that he was doomed for saying something wrong. If these two kids were the children of Mr. Warner, what position would Ayana be in? Wouldn't that be slapping Ayana in the face?

Besides, everyone from top to bottom in Warner Group knew that Ayana and Mr. Warner were going to get married soon. If he were to say that these two children resembled Mr. Warner at this moment, wasn't it clear that Mr. Warner had an affair with another woman?

As the assistant looked at Stanley's cold expression, his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

Nevertheless, Stanley couldn't be bothered to pay attention to his assistant as he turned around and left. At this moment, his pants suddenly tightened, and a soft voice called out, "Daddy, where are you going?"

The voice from Sadie immediately made Stanley's steps stop in place.

At that moment, the child had made up her mind to admit that he was her father, but he had no idea how to reject her...

While Stanley stood where he was, he looked down at the big eyes of the little girl. In a dilemma, he was deciding whether he should leave or not.

However, when Sharon saw Stanley's dilemma, she walked over and let out a sigh, "Sadie, let go of him."

In fact, she felt that he was really heartless. In just a few days, Sharon had already been deeply hurt by him.

For a moment, she steeled her heart and immediately picked Sadie up, turned around, and left.

Pitifully, Sadie reached out her small hand to Stanley and said, "Daddy..."

When Stanley heard that, his brows twitched, and he gritted his teeth as he watched her figure retreated. A conflicted expression appeared on his face, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and trailed behind her.

Meanwhile, Sadie was lying on Sharon's shoulder with a lingering expression on her face, but when she saw Stanley trailing behind them, her expression suddenly became excited.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Sharon cannot help but raise the corners of her lips.

After they returned to the ward, the doctor examined Sadie once more. Indeed, she had recovered from her cold and could be discharged from the hospital, but he still gave her a list of medications that she needed. Then, Sharon took the list, thanked the doctor, and brought her children out of the doctor's office.

As soon as she went out, she saw him standing against the wall.

After Sharon cast a glance at him, she took the children's hand and walked away without saying a word.

At that moment, Sadie was very excited. However, when she looked at her mother, it seemed as if her mother was angry. Since she didn't dare to cause too much trouble, she could only look in the direction of Stanley every once in a while and stare expectantly at him.

There were a lot of people waiting in line to get their medication. Besides taking care of the two children, Sharon also had to queue up, and the place was quite packed.

From the side, Stanley looked at her, then went straight over and took the list out of her hand as he said nonchalantly, "Wait for me by the side."

Taken aback by his actions, Sharon asked, "What are you doing?"

"There are so many people here. Aren't you afraid of losing your child again?" With a burning gaze, Stanley ordered, "Go and wait at the corner, and I'll get the medication."

The corners of Sharon's mouth curled up, and she couldn't help but feel like laughing.

"Sure." As soon as she responded, she brought her children to wait at the corner.

Then, the assistant hurriedly went over and asked, "Mr. Warner, do you want me to queue?"

"There's no need for that. Just go get the car and wait at the entrance."

"Okay, sir."

While Sharon stood in a corner that was sparsely populated, she looked at the tall figure in the line, feeling a little happy in her heart.

"Mommy." Suddenly, Sadie's voice sounded as she felt her clothes being tugged on. "Mommy, can I go over and queue with Daddy?"

When Sharon heard that question, she lowered her head to look at her daughter. Meanwhile, Sadie's eyes were wide open, and she promised, "I will not run around, and I will just stand right beside Daddy, okay? Look at how pitiful Daddy is, over there all by himself. Why don't you let me go over?"

A moment later, Sharon's heart softened, and she caressed her daughter's face. "Do you really want to go over?"

"Yes!"

"Then... make sure you don't bother Daddy."

"Okay!"

When the little girl got permission from her mother, she immediately ran over and stood directly next to Stanley, grabbing his hand, and followed him obediently like a little pet. When Stanley lowered his head and saw her, he was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared in his eyes.

In the meantime, Sharon led her son to have a seat on a chair by the side. When she saw her son pursing the corners of his lips and remained silent, Sharon's mind thought for a moment, then she lifted her son's chin and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

However, Seamus looked at her and shook his head.

"Don't lie to me. I can see that you have something on your mind."

With a slightly awkward look, Seamus slowly asked, "Mom, is he really my father?"

Ah, so that was the question.

After a moment of silence, Sharon finally said, "Do you want him to be your father?"

When Seamus heard that question, his eyes were full of confusion. The thing was, he had no idea whether he wanted Stanley to be his father. All this time, they had been living a good life even without a father. Now that he suddenly had a father, he... wasn't used to it.

Besides, Seamus knew he was a man who could protect his mother and sister, so it did not matter even if his father was gone. But it seemed that his sister liked his father very much.

Therefore, Seamus nodded and said, "Well, if Sadie wants it, so do I."

It had always been clear to Sharon that her son adores his little sister very much, and he's practically obsessed with her. Whatever his sister said, he would listen to her, and he would always put his sister before anything else.

As Sharon kissed the top of her son's head, she said, "That's very good of you, but you can observe him first. If you don't like him, then I won't let him be your father."

At that moment, Seamus raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mommy, do you not like that person?"

When Sharon heard that question, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips into a thin line. In her heart, what happened four years ago was still like a thorn. Whenever she thought about it, she would feel unbearable pain.

If that thing did not happen to her father, she would definitely tell her son that she liked Stanley!

Right now, she also wanted to have feelings for Stanley, but he had lied to her before, and he did it ruthlessly. This was a hurdle that she couldn't overcome...

The man she trusted the most once lied to her ruthlessly. When Sharon thought of this, her heart began to throb.

"Mommy?"

What pulled her back from her thoughts was the voice of her son. Immediately, she looked at her son and asked, "Yes?"

"Sadie is back." At that moment, Seamus raised his hand and pointed at his sister.

After that, Sharon raised her head and looked in that direction. Sure enough, Stanley and her daughter were done queuing as they walked over with the medication in hand.

At that time, Sadie seemed to be very happy as she held Stanley's hand and looked up at him. However, Stanley was so tall, like a mountain. Even if she raised her head, it was still very difficult to see his face.

The hand of her father was also very huge. Tightly, he held her hand as if he was afraid that she would get lost. With her lips pursed, Sadie snickered when she thought that she too now had a father. When she returned to kindergarten in the future, no one would dare to say that she didn't have a father!

The little girl was so happy that she did not notice what was under her feet for a moment. Then, she directly tripped and fell.

The knees of the child were soft, and her skin was tender. When it collided with the hard floor, the pain was unbearable. Instantly, Sadie burst into tears.

Immediately, Stanley's expression changed. With his agility, he immediately picked up the crying little girl who fell to the ground. When he pulled her pants up and checked, he found that her white and soft knees were red and swollen.

When Stanley looked at her knee, his heart tightened, and he secretly cursed at himself for not being able to take good care of her. At that moment, his heart was filled with guilt, and the expression on his face was as if he hoped that he was the one who fell instead of her.

When Sadie looked at her father's expression with her eyes were filled with tears, she felt even more aggrieved, and she cried more intensely.

"It's okay. It won't hurt anymore, so don't cry. Be a good girl..."

Since Stanley had never coaxed a child before, he could only repeat those words over and over again. It was rare for Sadie to enjoy such a thing from her father, so she felt very happy. In fact, it

didn't hurt at all, and she just wanted her father to coax her like this.

Meanwhile, Stanley, who had been coaxing her for a long time, saw that the little girl was still lying in his arms with a pair of red eyes. It made him so anxious that he didn't know what to do. However, just as he pursed his lips and was about to take her to see a doctor, he heard someone said in a fluttering and lazy voice, "Sadie, that's enough!"

Innocently, Sadie blinked her big teary eyes.

Others might not know her daughter, but Sharon knew her best. This girl's acting was extraordinary. Especially when she cried, she could simply win an Oscar with those skills!

In fact, she also felt sorry for her daughter when she saw her fall. However, she could tell at a glance that Sadie was pretending to cry.

After Sharon threw a glance at the devastated and guilty Stanley, she pursed her lips. How could such a shrewd man be deceived by a three-year-old girl? It was really something that she didn't understand.
