Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 323

As soon as Ayana said that, Stanley sneered, "How would people see you? Ayana, although we're engaged, you know better than anyone that we didn't get physical at all."

Ayana's face turned red from anger, though her voice softened as she pleaded, "Stanley, I've been devoted to you for the past four years. I even ignored the opposition from my family. How can you abandon me just like that? I didn't even know what I did wrong!"

Upon hearing that, Stanley went silent.

Ayana knew that he was a man of his words. In the past few years, he had done so much for the Warner Family just because she had saved his life back then.

He owed her a lot, not just his life, but also everything she did for him.

So as long as she used the past as an excuse, his heart would definitely soften.

For example, right now.

After a long silence, Stanley slowly asked, "Ayana, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you want to marry me? Is it because you really love me, or perhaps you just need me for your family's business?"

Ayana's body stiffened.

Stanley then continued, "When you saved me back then, you already knew who I am and that I'm married, yet you never mention anything about it, so I couldn't help but guess what your real intention is."

After he said that, he hung up the phone.

He didn't want to prolong the conversation with Ayana because Sharon could get jealous. He just needed to make things clear with Ayana and that was it.

Anyway, Sharon must be tired of waiting outside, so he shouted for her since she didn't seem to bring her phone. However, no one responded to him, so obviously, she wasn't standing outside.

Soon, he got a little impatient and wanted to pull out the IV needle so he could go out and find her. But then, he thought she might get upset if she saw him doing this.

So he suppressed the urge and waited for her.

On the other hand, Sharon originally just wanted to get some fresh air, but then she saw Shawn waiting in the corridor.

Looking at him striding towards her, Sharon recalled that she had promised to pick him up at the airport yesterday, which she had completely forgotten.

So was Shawn here to scold her?

"Ahem..." Sharon cleared her throat. "Shawn, I..."

With a frown, Shawn interrupted her. "I'm not here to scold you."

Sharon was surprised.

With a face full of concern, he then continued, "I just got off the plane and heard that the kids had an accident at the amusement park. How are they now?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Just as Sharon was about to say that they were fine, she thought of something and asked suspiciously, "Wait, how did you know that?"

Shawn froze a little, then smiled and said, "I'll tell you later. Now, take me to see the children first. Ah, if I had come back yesterday, maybe they wouldn't have been injured then."

When the twins were born, Shawn was there to witness it, so naturally, he had treated them as his own children deep inside his heart.

Just now getting off the plane, he heard that they were involved in an accident and he was so worried that he came straight to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Sharon stood rooted to the spot, studying him. "Mark is your man, isn't he?"

Mark was a good assistant of hers for the past few years and she never doubted him before she found Stanley in Allgate City.

Nevertheless, hearing her suspicion, Shawn just admitted directly. "Yeah, I sent him to take care of you when you insisted on going out to work, instead of coming to work under my company."

Instantly, Sharon got angry and questioned, "So in the past few years, you've asked Mark to watch me?"

"Sharon..."

"Shut up! How can you keep a tab on me like that?"

"I know I shouldn't have done that, but I'm just too worried about you."

"You..."

"I know you must be really angry, but I'm doing this for your own good." Shawn smiled and pinched her cheek. "Now, can we stop arguing and go see the kids first?"

Sharon was about to say that the children were fine when a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them. "Stop touching her with your dirty hands!"

Startled, she turned around to see Stanley and her anger was once again ignited.

"Stanley, you're still in the middle of the infusion!"

Did this man think that he had the strength of a superman? He was injured and he should just lie down and rest! Jeez.

Breaking free of Shawn's grip, she strode to the front of Stanley, propped him up, and scolded angrily, "What are you doing here? Go back and lie down!"

Then, she looked down and found the needle on the back of his hand to be pulled out.

And she got even frustrated. If it hadn't been for the fact that he was injured, she would have lectured on him!

Grrr!

Meanwhile, Stanley just snorted and held her waist tightly, then looked at Shawn coldly, as if he was swearing his sovereignty.

At the same time, Shawn also narrowed his gaze at Stanley. Noticing that Stanley's head was bandaged, he turned to ask Sharon, "So, he got injured and the kids are fine?"

Being circled tightly by Stanley, Sharon found it hard to breathe, yet she was unable to push him away, so she could only hold back her temper and answered Shawn, "Yeah, the kids are fine."

Shawn breathed a sigh of relief. "Good to hear."

Seeing that, Stanley was even annoyed and looked colder than before. Shawn was just an outsider. How dare he just came here and acted like a part of them?
