Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 349

Originally, Stanley wanted to hide the fact that he had regained his memory so that Isai would let down his guards. In that way, he could take action in Beachmarsh City much freely. But he didn't expect that Isai would kidnap Sharon and his two children, thus making him suspect that Isai had known everything.

"When your mother said that you lost your memory, she didn't look like lying. But today, as soon as you came over and looked at me with that gaze, I realized that you didn't lose your memory." Isai looked straight at his son. "You can't lie to me with that look. Although I'm old, I'm not stupid."

Stanley clenched his fists hard, but he suppressed his anger eventually. "This is the last time—the last time you can threaten my family! Isai Jones, you know how much I hated you. If you want to live the rest of your life peacefully, then stop your tricks!"

Isai laughed out loud. "Haha, that's my son!"

Stanley's gaze turned sharp. With a lowered tone, he warned in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "This time, I'll let you go since my kids are alright. But from now on, you'd better watch out because I'll definitely make you pay with your life!"

Stanley was probably the only one who could threaten his life so openly. Gradually, Isai's face changed and his calmness faded away. Storms swept through his somewhat turbid brown eyes and blue veins popped out on his temples.

Oscar, who had been by his side for several decades, knew that he was very angry now.

Meanwhile, Jimmy's nerves were on edge, seeing that the atmosphere between the father and son was tense. He was ready to separate the two if they got into a fight. Fortunately, Stanley didn't do anything at last. He just turned around and left.

Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and followed him. "You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were going to hit him!"

"Well, you and your colleagues are still here."

"Exactly. Thank goodness you didn't act impulsively."

Stanley sneered. It wasn't that he didn't act impulsively. It was just that the two children were fine, and Sharon was rescued as well, so he could still keep his temper.

Just now, coming out of the room upstairs, he received a text from Ryan that said, "Sharon's rescued. Quickly retreat."

On the other hand, watching the group of people leaving, Oscar asked hesitantly, "Mr. Jones, are we just going to let him leave like that?"

The expression on Isai's face was gloomy as he sneered, "What else could we do?"

Oscar then understood that Stanley and the others were well prepared. With the presence of a police officer like Jimmy, it was indeed not good timing to make a move. Otherwise, Isai wouldn't be able to explain this matter to the polices.

"Mr. Jones, Miss Cruz is missing though."

Oscar immediately informed him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Isai turned to look at him with a serious look. "How's that possible?"

Although Oscar had been by Isai's side for so many years, he was still very afraid of him, especially when he shot him with such a cold look. Instantly, he bent his body and replied, "The window in the room was broken, so someone must have come in through the window and took her away."

Hearing that, Isai closed his eyes, and his temples pulsated. Finally, he couldn't subdue his anger anymore and kicked at Oscar. "You f*cking idiot! How could you let her escape!" Oscar covered his stomach in pain on the ground. After a painful groan, he quickly got up and made up for it. "I... I'll send someone to get Miss Cruz back now..."

"Tsk, it won't be easy to kidnap Sharon again. You know Stanley. He will definitely protect her well this time."

"Then... what should we do?"

Isai snorted coldly but said nothing, and there was just iciness left in his eyes.

In the suburbs, a car was parked by the road. Inside the car was Sharon and Ryan.

Sharon was able to escape from that villa owing to Ryan. If it weren't for him, Sharon could have been dead by now.

Indeed, the person who broke through the window to save her was Ryan.

She was very surprised at that time, because she had never thought she would be saved by a man whom she had only met once.

Back in the villa, she hadn't thanked him yet. So now, she cleared her throat and said, "Ryan, thank you for saving me today."

Hearing that, Ryan, who originally placed his legs on the steering wheel while his hands propped behind his head, quickly straightened his body. "Nah, it's not a big deal."

How was that not a big deal? The corners of Sharon's lips twitched. "Anyway, Ryan, how did you know that I was kidnapped?"

"I've been watching the kids around their school. This afternoon, when I saw that they were taken away by strangers, I followed them secretly and found that you were kidnapped too."

Sharon was taken aback. "You... you've always been near the school? Wh-why?"

Didn't he need to deal with his own affairs? Why was he always staying near the children's school?

"Well, your husband had saved my life, so I wanted to repay him. I thought maybe I could protect his family secretly. Since he would definitely take good care of you, that left me with the twins to protect. And, I liked them very much, so whenever I'm free, I'll go to school to see them."

Sharon was a little speechless.

This reason seemed quite reasonable, but she didn't know how to respond.

Soon, the car was filled with silence again as Sharon sat on the passenger's seat quietly. Suddenly, the sound of an engine came from the distance and she looked in the rearview mirror, only to find a few cars coming at them.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the cars for a while. Then he said, "He's coming."

Sharon knew that he was talking about Stanley. When he texted Stanley just now, she was by his side. After thinking for a moment, Sharon decided to push open the car door.

When she got off the car, the vehicles had pulled up already. The door of the leading car was pushed open, and Stanley came out of the driver's seat. He was in a black suit, which made him look solemn and awe-inspiring.

When Stanley drew near, she was instantly enveloped in a cool yet pleasant smell emanating from his body, and her gaze fell upon his face. She could see that his brows were tightly knitted as he examined her, trying to make sure that she was alright.

Seeing that he just pursed his lips and said nothing, Sharon stuttered, "I... urn..."

Before she could finish, Stanley abruptly pulled her into his embrace, to which Sharon was stunned.

Being so close to him, she felt like her whole body was filled with his good scent, and her heart was trembling a little.

She opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but in the end, she just kept quiet.

However, Sharon felt like she could hardly breathe as she was tightly circled in his arms.

Her head was resting against his chin while her waist was held by his powerful hands, and she could feel the heat radiated from his palms.

Finally, Jimmy couldn't stand it anymore as he popped up from the car window and made a whistle, then said jokingly, "Jeez, it must be difficult to make out with kids at home. Why don't you two get a room?"

Sharon blushed with embarrassment and pushed aside Stanley.

Being pushed away, Stanley felt slightly unhappy and cast a cold glance over the person who just interrupted them.

Jimmy shivered upon receiving his look and immediately got back into the car, ready to leave. "Well, I'll go back with my colleagues first. See you guys next time!"

Sharon suppressed her embarrassment, but suddenly, thinking of something, she grabbed Stanley's arm and asked, "Where's the kids?"
