Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 351

Stanley was smoking quietly on the balcony. He seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice Sharon, who looked at him for a while, then withdrew her gaze and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out of the bathroom, he was still on the balcony, but he had stopped smoking. He was answering a phone call instead.

With his back to her, she heard him saying in a lowered tone, "After today's kidnapping, for the safety of my family, Isai can't live anymore. Since he was the one who did these unrighteous things first, I won't show him any more mercy!"

"In the past four years, he never found trouble with me, presumably because he thought that I wasn't a threat since I was away. However, he started to test me ever since I returned to Beachmarsh City... It was he who ordered the driver to hit Sharon the other day. And he probably planned the incident at the amusement park too. In short, I can't keep such a cold-blooded person alive as it can be a hidden danger..."

"Jimmy, I know you probably can't accept this as it goes against your morality, but that's what he forces me to do. If he didn't plan all these things, I might've let him live a little longer... Anyway, could you help me contact those who wanna take him down? After that, I'll take care of it. Oh, also, I think Sharon might find out about my recovery soon, and she'll probably get really angry. So, tomorrow I'll pretend to have a headache and go to the hospital, then tell her about my recovery. Do you think you could bring Ariah over? I was thinking maybe she could soothe Sharon..."

Suddenly, Stanley felt the hair on his back stand up. He slowly turned around and saw Sharon standing in the living room, looking at him in shock. Her face was full of disbelief.

Stanley cursed in a low voice.

Hearing that, Jimmy got a little grumpy. "Why are you cursing me?"

"No, I didn't curse you. Anyway, that's about it. You know what to do." Stanley said to Jimmy while his gaze fell on Sharon. After that, he hung up the phone and walked into the living room.

Sharon quickly warned, "Stop right there!"

However, he ignored her warning and continued to walk towards her. Seeing that, she immediately turned around and left, but he already strode over and wrapped his arms around her body, then pinned her against the wall, "Why are you running?"

Sharon struggled with all her might. "Stanley, let go of me!"

"Baby, you only been good for a few hours, and now, are you going to quarrel with me again?"

"Quarrel about what? I'm warning you. Let me go!"

"What if I don't?"

"You..."

Sharon shot him an angry look. Immediately, Stanley realized that she must have heard everything. Just now talking on the phone, he didn't even notice her standing behind him, because he trusted her and never put on his guards when she was around.

Stanley sighed, "I can explain."

"I don't want to hear that! You already lied to me!"

It was actually a good thing that he had recovered, and Sharon was happy for him. But why did he have to deceive her again? Just like four years ago, she thought that he only needed a wife who was obedient when she married him, but the truth turned out to be so hurtful.

Why did he always lie to her? Why couldn't he just tell her the truth even it was hurtful? She just didn't want to be deceived like a fool!

After four years, he lied to her again.

Sharon suddenly exploded into an outrage that she started to punch and kick him.

In order to prevent her from hurting him and herself, Stanley had to grasp her body while avoiding her attacks. Finally, he kept her under control and gasped, "Alright, alright, it's my fault. You can vent your anger however you want, but first, let's go over to the sofa. It's much comfy there."

Sharon was so angry that she couldn't even utter a single word, and both her body and her hands were shaking.

"The wall is hard. I wouldn't wanna see you hit your head here. So let's go over there, okay?"

Sharon was angered by his tone, which sounded like he was comforting a pet. However, she was no match for him at all, and soon, she was forced to sit on the sofa, being circled in his arms. He then started to explain, "After the incident at the amusement park, I remembered everything the next day and I wanted to tell you about it, but I suspected that Isai was behind all these, including what happened at the shopping mall. I know how insidious he can be. I gotta let him put his guards down so I can take him down. So, I hid the fact that I'd already recovered, hoping that he would stop finding us troubles for a while, so you and the kids would be safe. And, even if I failed to deceive him, it wouldn't be a loss either."

Stanley then pressed down on her struggling body and continued, "Even my mother didn't know about this. Because it would be better if fewer people know about it. But you're so smart. I know that you must have begun to suspect me, right?"

Hearing that, Sharon just gave him a humph, though she no longer struggled.

Stanley breathed a sigh of relief and rested his chin on her shoulder. "It was my fault. I shouldn't have hidden it from you. But I was worried that if I tell you, Isai will know..." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"So did he believe you?"

"No."

Sharon gave him a mocking look, as if all his careful plans had been in vain.

Nevertheless, Stanley held her in his arms. "I was so anxious that I exposed myself in front of him. When I knew you were in his villa, I went there straight and he could see the hatred in my eyes."

After a pause, he added, "Anyway, he could be testing me whether I had lost my memory by kidnapping you and the children today."

Hearing his words, Sharon blanked out for a moment before lowering her gaze. Indeed, Isai was testing whether Stanley had lost his memories. If Stanley got anxious, Isai would know that he didn't lose his memories. On the other hand, if Stanley acted calmly, then he would know Stanley’s true purpose.

So no matter how today turned out to be, Isai had got what he wanted.

And now, he knew that Stanley had recovered. What was more, he had frightened Sharon, and she could still feel the coldness of the gun when it was placed behind her head.
