Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 331

Stanley noticed that Sharon's attitude towards him had completely changed when he woke up this morning, as if she didn't know him; she was so passionate towards him the night before, but this morning, she didn't talk to him, nor did she even bother to look at him.

Stanley narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in front of him. He could not figure out how this woman could turn against him so quickly. The night before there was still a spark, but today, everything seemed gloomy.

In the underground parking lot, seeing the family of four walking over, Ryan waved his hand. "Over here."

Stanley strode over.

"This car is not a supercar worth millions, but it can still be used as transportation." Ryan gave the car keys to Stanley and smiled naturally at Sharon. "Hello, Sharon."

Sharon was taken aback by this stranger's calling but replied politely, "Nice... Nice to meet you."

Ryan glanced at the two children. Stroking Seamus's head, he said, "This is the first time we've met, so I've not prepared any gifts. How about I buy gifts for you next time?"

Seamus was usually introverted. Now that a stranger was touching his head, he took a few steps back warily.

On the other hand, Sadie was grinning. "Uncle, you're so tall! You're even taller than my father!"

"That's because I used to practice boxing," Ryan explained to the children. "That's why I'm of a bigger build than your father."

Sadie seemed to understand, but actually she didn't.

Hearing that, Seamus seemed to be a little interested, and he took the initiative to ask Ryan, "Is boxing difficult?"

"Not really. Everything is difficult from the start. You just need to get used to it." Ryan smiled as he looked at the two cute little children. "If you want to learn it in the future, you can come to me. I'll teach you for free."

Ryan was a well-known boxer in the boxing field. When Stanley met him in the past, the people in the circle had a love- hate relationship with him. Now that such a big guy like Ryan was saying such courageous words to the two children, Stanley immediately felt protective over them. "Thank you. My kids will not participate in such bloody things when they grow up." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Ryan rubbed his nose and shrugged.

From Sharon's perspective, Stanley and Ryan' s relationship seemed to be pretty good. Even after Stanley said something like this, this guy did not seem unhappy about it.

Instead, he laughed and continued chatting with the children for a while longer before bidding them farewell and leaving.

Sharon looked at him as he left and asked curiously, "Who is he?"

This was definitely a friend that Stanley had made after losing his memories. Four years ago, Stanley didn't have such a person by his side.

"You're finally talking to me?" Stanley raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "I thought you weren't going to talk to me today."

Sharon was speechless.

"I met him when I was abroad. I helped him once by coincidence, and after that, he has been following me all this time," Stanley briefly explained Ryan's identity to her.

So that was what it was.

Lowering his gaze, Stanley looked at Sharon and asked her, "What exactly is going on?

Everything was fine yesterday, but why are you pulling a long face at me today?" As he spoke, he squinted his black eyes. "Was it that I did not perform well yesterday? Impossible, I clearly made you speechless last night."

"Shut up!"

Sharon's face reddened as she roared. She wished that she could hit him right now!

The children were around, yet he was talking nonsense!

Stanley smiled and stopped teasing her. He then opened the car door and let the two children in, then gestured for Sharon to sit in front.

Sharon ignored him and sat directly in the backseat.

This made Stanley speechless.

Since they had arrived at school late, Sharon took the children in. Stanley also followed them to class. When they left the children under the teacher's care, the teacher couldn't help but look behind Sharon.

During the half of the year where the children were at school, Sharon had always been picking them up and sending them off alone. The teacher had never seen a man alongside her.

Several mothers in the class had already started discussing it. They said that Sharon was a single mother and some bad-mouthed women gossiped that Sharon was a mistress who gave birth to illegitimate children.

Now that Stanley appeared in school, and with his appearance and temperament that was superior to that of the male movie stars, the teacher couldn't help but fix her eyes on him.

Just then, she recalled who he was - the father who came to pick Seamus and Sadie up from school the other day.

Sharon's children were the most good-looking in their class. Originally, everyone thought that they inherited their good looks from Sharon, but they certainly did not expect that the children’ s father looked even more aesthetically pleasing.

After Sharon and Stanley left, they ran into another family coming to send their children off. It seemed that they were late as well.

It was a woman with a sharp tongue who secretly ridiculed Sharon several times. Now that Sharon had brought such an outstanding man, she couldn't help but say, "Oh, Miss Cruz, you've found a stepfather for the children? Then I'm really happy for them. In the future, at least they’ll have both a mother and a father to teach them."

Sharon frowned, but before she could say anything, Stanley couldn't stand it any longer. "Who is she?"

Sharon cleared her throat and said in a low voice, "Seamus once fought with her son and beat him to tears, so they're not really fond of me.

Stanley raised his eyebrows, indicating that he understood.

When that woman heard Sharon, she couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "If it weren't for the school who stepped in, we wouldn't have let your child go. He is so arrogant at such a young age. Don't you teach him manners at all?"

Sharon could no longer restrain herself when she heard this. The woman was free to attack her, but if she verbally attacked her child, as a mother, Sharon would definitely not tolerate it.

"You seemed quite angry, Madam. I wonder why my son Seamus hit your son?" Outside the classroom door came Stanley's calm voice. Although his tone was soft, after all, he was a man who had been the leader for many years. Exuding an aura of confidence, he glanced over the woman with his halfsquinted eyes, revealing a sense of majesty.

The woman couldn't help but step back for a long time.

Stanley's lips seemed to curl up a little, and he continued, "I have been away on business trips all this while, so my wife has always been responsible for the children. My wife has always been kind and isn’t calculative with others, so when the children had a conflict with others, she didn't inform me."

Speaking of this point, he paused. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked straight at the woman. "My wife is kind-hearted, but I am not. I support my two children a lot and treat them as treasures. I can't even bear to say harsh words to them at home. My wife may be able to bear with it if they are bullied outside, but I can't!"

Once he finished his sentence, he turned to look at the teacher, who was stunned standing aside. "There are CCTVs, teachers, and security guards at school, so I believe that the management can't be any clearer about what happened that day. As a father, I know my children better than anyone. They are cute and kind, just like their mother. They will never bully their classmates for no reason!"
