Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 368

As Sadie fell asleep, Sharon walked out of the bedroom lightly. She saw that Stanley and Seamus were watching a TV program about finance in the living room.

Surprisingly, even Seamus was also absorbed in the program that enthralled her husband.

She thus coughed gently to seek their attention.

As expected, both of them turned their heads.

While Stanley calmly switched to another channel, Seamus came down from the couch. "Is Sadie asleep?"

"Yes." She bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

In return, he hugged his mother's neck and planted a goodnight kiss on her cheek. "Then I'll go to sleep now. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

As Seamus entered his room, Sharon came to Stanley's side and discovered that he was staring at their son with back with a sorrowful gaze.

"What is it that you are looking at?" Sharon waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Retracting his gaze, he rubbed his tummy while holding the remote control. "I'm wondering when he will treat me like how he treated you," he said gruffly.

That amused her, for that was just a goodnight kiss from their son.

Did Stanley get jealous because of this?

It made her speechless.

"If you want to get close to Seamus, then you need to take the initiative. If he doesn't kiss you, why don't you kiss him first?" Sharon rolled her eyes at him and pouted. "It's like how you touched me when I did not want to bother you."

"It's a different story." Throwing the remote away, he continued, "If I didn't take the initiative to touch you, then I might not have a wife. However, it's not a big problem if I don't take the initiative to get close to my son. There is a long way to go. I can take it slow, and one day he will get close to me."

Words eluded her as she heard his justification.

She stared at her handsome husband for quite some time, for she could find no points to refute his reasoning.

However, what he had just said did make sense too.

That was just too embarrassing.

"I've taken a bath. It's your turn now," said Sharon, who sat cross-legged on the couch. She didn't want to spend more time on this issue anymore.

Since it was quite late now, Stanley got up and went to the bathroom.

Then, she grabbed the remote control and switched on the TV. She could not help wondering what Stanley was watching with Seamus just now.

After pressing on the remote control several times, the TV finally showed the financial program.

Just then, the host mentioned something that startled Sharon.

She thus increased the volume and stared at the screen.

It was the news about Shawn.

After listening for a while, she knew roughly knew what had been going on - Shawn's company had been facing a crisis.

That was a major threat to the company, which could lead to irrevocable consequences if not handled well.

While holding the remote control, she frowned and wondered how Shawn's company could end up like this.

Over the past few years, Shawn had been focusing more on Beachmarsh City compared to Cresthill City. He worked very hard day after day, which was why his company could develop so well. He had even had meals with the officials of Beachmarsh City several times.

His business had been prosperous in these years.

Therefore, she was astounded to learn that the company was facing such a serious threat.

Captivated by the host's torrential speech, she did not realize that Stanley had come out of the bathroom. "What are you watching?"

It was then that Sharon regained her senses.

Turning her head, she saw he was wearing a soft, simple shirt. Although the material was not very expensive, it still exuded a different kind of smell on his body.

With his short hair slightly wet and his eyes dark, he looked gentle and alluring under the warm- toned light.

Sharon was thus somewhat lost in thought while observing him.

Taking a step forward, he came to stand beside her. The air that was filled with the fruity aroma of shower gel directly wafted over her.

As he bent down to get close to her, his angular features appeared sharp and well-defined. "Sharon, what are you looking at?"

When she got close, she could smell the masculine aura on his body, which was particularly mesmerizing.

Her heart thus beat a little faster.

She was too embarrassed to look into his eyes for a while. As she licked the corner of her mouth, she replied, "N-No. I'm just..."

Suddenly, her chin was pinched and lifted. Looking at Stanley's scrutinizing eyes, she inquired, "Do you feel sorry for Shawn?"

What did he just say?

She was utterly bewildered.

"Do you feel bad for him after watching the news?" he asked coldly again.

As she finally understood what he meant, she rolled her eyes and waved his hand away. "What nonsense are you spouting here?"

"Then, why were you in a daze just now?"

"I was just wondering who was so brave to plot against Shawn. Since he's so powerful now, not many people can threaten him. Who's the one who pushed his company to such a serious crisis in a few days?"

Stolidly, Stanley responded, "Perhaps it's someone who doesn't like him. The business world is like a battlefield, so it's inevitable for him to offend many people every day. As long as there's a chance, there'll be someone who wants to stab him in the back."

"Shawn must have encountered a lot of things, so he should be capable of handling it. Why is the situation so serious this time? Who was the one behind this?" asked Sharon with a frown.

While she was speaking, her eyes fell on Stanley with suspicion.

Nonetheless, in the past few days, he had been with her, and they had never returned to Cresthill. If he wanted to do something to Shawn, he would have returned to the company in Cresthill to gather force.

Did that mean that he was not the one responsible for Shawn's downfall this time?

Just as she was about to ask for the reason, Stanley turned around and entered the room.

What happened?

Who did he think he was?

Upon muttering to herself, she turned off the TV and walked toward the room.

As soon as she opened the door, her waist was suddenly held by Stanley, and she immediately fell into his arms. Overwhelmed by his strong aura, she heard a loud bang as he kicked the door close before his body pressed against hers.

"Mmm..."

Sharon was caught off guard by his kiss and couldn't react in time. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

It was until she felt pain in her lips that she came to her senses.

What was wrong with him?

Although she had been trying to push him away, she still could not get away from him as he was too strong, especially now that he had been enraged.

The kiss was so intense that she could not process her thoughts properly. Left with no choice, she could only endure his kiss, during which she understood why he was furious.

Seeing that she stopped struggling, he no longer exerted his force upon her. As his rage gradually subsided, his movements also became much gentler.

It was then that she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Had he been placated now?

He had finally calmed down, right?

Without any warning, she was suddenly princess-hugged by Stanley, and she was so shocked that she subconsciously hugged his neck. By the time she opened her eyes again, she found herself on the bed.

His deep, dark eyes were dyed with a strong lust.

In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Are you still on the rag?"

"Um.."

Sharon nodded truthfully without thinking much.

"Good."

Following a hum, he switched off the light. As he lay on the bed, he whispered in a gruff and depressing manner, "I can't wait any longer..."

Her heart quivered in an instant.
