Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 367

The family of four had a hearty dinner. As long as the food was delicious, Sadie would be very happy.

Seamus didn't eat much for dinner. After a few moments, he sat on the side while looking at Sharon and Stanley from time to time. It was as if he was hesitating to utter what he had in mind.

Sharon was busy taking care of Sadie, who would spill her food around the table. Apart from adding dishes to Sadie's plate, she also had to make sure that no food dropped on her daughter's clothes. That was why she didn't notice her son's abnormal behavior for the time being.

It was Stanley who detected it.

After the meal, while Sharon was busy in the kitchen, Stanley came to his son and initiated a conversation with him.

"Why are you so gloomy?"

Seamus glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Was dinner not up to your taste?" He hadn't eaten much during dinner, which was guite unusual for him.

Turning his face away, Seamus did not respond to his father's question.

Stanley was surprised to find that even his son was so stubborn.

He was slightly displeased because no one in the business field dared to give him a cold shoulder.

However, he decided not to be so mean to his son this time around.

"If you keep doing this, your mother will definitely find out that something is wrong with you. Do you want to make her worried?"

As expected, Seamus glanced at Sharon upon hearing that question.

"Your mother has been very tired these days. Do you still want to let her figure out why you are unhappy after the shower?" Staring at his son, Stanley added, "That will make her mentally tired as well."

As a filial child, Seamus replied, "I don't want her to worry about me."

"Well, then tell me why you are so sad?"

Throwing him a glance, Seamus replied, "It's because of you!"

Stanley froze for a moment before raising an eyebrow. "Me?"

"Yes."

"Why is it so?"

Seeing that he was so sincere, Seamus thought for a moment and answered, "Who's the woman who slept at our house for the whole afternoon? Do you have a love affair outside?"

A love affair?

"Who taught you to speak like that?"

Was that why he was unhappy? Did he worry Stanley would abandon the family after having a new woman?

"The TV programs." Sadie furrowed his little brows. "Is there anything wrong with it?"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

What should Stanley do? Should he deliver a blow to his son's self-confidence?"

Let it be.

"It's actually different from what you have been thinking. I have nothing to do with the woman."

After hearing his assurance, Seamus looked at him in disbelief. "But the woman wanted you to marry her."

"Did you eavesdrop on the conversation?"

"Her voice was too loud, and the house is not soundproof," Seamus muttered.

It seemed that his son was very precocious.

With his fingers knocking on the table, he looked at his son intently. "Then did you hear me saying that I won't have anything to do with her in the future? I've even chased her out."

As Seamus raised his eyebrows, he replied, "Well, men are untrustworthy sometimes in such matters."

Stanley was rendered speechless.

After regaining his senses, he cleared his throat and sat up straight. He must be extra careful when speaking to his son.

In a serious tone, he said, "There is something that I need to tell you, but I think you have probably heard it before."

"What is it?"

"I was not around you over the past few years because I had an accident and lost my memory. I have forgotten both your mother and you, so I didn't come back to you."

Then, he tried to enunciate as clearly as possible when he was about to reveal the identity of Ayana. "I met the woman when I lost my memory. She saved me once, but I did not have any feelings for her. I will only love your mother as well as you and your sister."

Staring at him for a few seconds, Seamus nodded. "OK. I will trust you this time."

That response was rather amusing to Stanley. "Oh, thank you."

Touching his tummy, Seamus said, "I'm a little hungry now."

It was thus apparent that he could not eat previously because of his worries. Now that everything had been clarified, he suddenly felt an urge to eat.

"Your mother has just cleaned everything. If you want to eat, go and prepare your meal yourself. I think there's still a little food left. Let me heat it up for you in the microwave."

"No problem."

Seamus immediately nodded.

With a smile, Stanley got up and hugged him. "Let's go."

Such intimate contact made Seamus a bit embarrassed, so his ears turned red.

Once Sharon bathed Sadie and came out of the bathroom, she saw the lovely scene at the dining table. While Seamus was eating, Stanley was quietly reading his book.

Stunned, she walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Our son wasn't full just now," Stanley answered very calmly.

Seamus looked at him with gratitude in his eyes because he didn't want Sharon to know about his secret.

Although she felt that there was something strange going on between them, she didn't say anything. Following a pause, she said, "I will bathe you after this. Sadie is going to sleep."

While enjoying his meal, Seamus responded, "Mom, you can accompany Sadie. I'll take a bath myself."

That surprised her. "Really?"

Over the past few years, she had always been the one who bathed the children. Why would he suddenly think of doing it himself?

"I'm no longer a kid. I can take a bath myself, or else I will feel embarrassed."

Words eluded her at that moment.

It seemed that Seamus had grown up, for he would feel shy in front of a woman.

Following a chuckle, she said, "Good to know that. You can take a bath yourself. Remember to call me if there's any problem."

Just then, Stanley, who was reading at the side, interrupted, "I can help if he faces any trouble. You may go and accompany Sadie."

In response, she nodded at the two of them.

Although Seamus was still young, he still felt shy because of his gender. That was why he didn't want his mother to get close to him when he was taking a bath. His father, on the other hand, would

make him feel more comfortable.

Upon giving him some instructions, Sharon went back to the room.

Glancing at his father sitting opposite him, Seamus said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"I'd like to ask you a favor."

"What is it?"

"Don't tell Mom what I said just now. Otherwise, she will be worried about me and think that I have been overthinking. She will then ask Aunt Myers to talk to me again to see if what you have done has impacted my physical and mental development."

Stunned, Stanley responded, "Sure, I'll keep this a secret for you."

Seamus thus let out a hum of agreement.

However, Stanley still stared at him, which made him feel uneasy. Frowning, he said, "I can't eat well if you keep looking at me like this."

"Sorry." Stanley cleared his throat. "I'm just a little curious."

"Curious about what?"

"I wonder why I would have such a smart son. Was it because I did a lot of good deeds in my previous life?"

Upon hearing that, Seamus was speechless.

His face then turned red in an instant.
