Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 397

At such an hour, the cemetery was extremely quiet. The moment Shawn heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head to look at her.

The fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. The first minute Sharon saw Shawn, she realized that he had lost weight. It seemed that his cheeks had sunken, his hair was messy, and there were stubbles on his chin.

In fact, he was totally different from the Shawn who used to be high-spirited.

As Sharon's footsteps came to a stop, she stood right in front of him.

At first, Shawn was smiling at her, but when she got closer, he noticed that her expression was gloomy. Then, he frowned and said, "You don't look too well."

Immediately, Sharon lowered her eyelashes, and a sneer appeared on her face.

When Shawn looked behind her, Sharon raised her head and saw his movement. "Did you think I'm lying to you? I didn't lie to you. I really came alone. Stanley didn't come along with me, and there's no police."

However, Shawn just smiled when he realized she figured out what he was thinking. "It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust Stanley. He wants nothing more than to kill me, and I'm sure he will grasp any chance that he has."

Meanwhile, Sharon stared at him and didn't say anything.

However, Shawn had noticed that there was something wrong with her gaze as soon as she arrived. It was as if she wanted to see through his eyes into the depths of his soul...

Not once did she ever looked at him with such a fiery gaze. It was just that Shawn felt strange, and he even thought it was his own appearance that scared her. "What's wrong? Is my face dirty?"

On the other hand, Sharon asked him, "You've completely lost the chance to turn over, haven't you?"

"As long as Stanley is in Beachmarsh City, there is no place for me here." Directly, Shawn answered without the intention to hide anything from her, "He wants me dead. I'm afraid that he will never be at ease as long as I'm still alive."

With a sneer, Sharon answered, "Don't say as if he is a devil who kills without batting an eye. Shawn, what you are today is entirely your own fault. You can't blame anyone else."

"Wow, I see that you're speaking up for him already!" There was still a faint smile in Shawn's eyes, but his lips were pursed, "It is a fact that he wants to get rid of me. Why is he allowed to kill me, but I'm not allowed to talk about it?"

However, Stanley wanted to get rid of Shawn because he had committed a crime, and he was caught with evidence against his doings. If he didn't do anything wrong, Stanley wouldn't have been able to lay his finger on Shawn.

As if he was able to read her mind, Shawn took two steps forward and got extremely close to her as he whispered, "Every man who managed to get to the top of the society would have gotten their hands dirtied. Do you think Stanley would be an exception?"

After that, he did not argue about the issue with her anymore. Instead, he leaned down slightly, looked into her dark eyes, and said word by word, "Sharon, I want to leave this place. Are you willing to come with me?"

Expressionlessly, Sharon looked at him with her gaze frozen, and she said nonchalantly, "Do you know why I'm in such a hurry to come and see you?"

"Isn't it because you're worried about me?" With a chuckle, Shawn asked.

"After all you've done to hurt me over and over again, do you think I would still be worried about you?" Immediately, Sharon answered with a sneer.

The moment Shawn noticed the inexplicable anger and resistance in her emotions, his gaze moved. "Then why did you come to see me?"

While Sharon looked straight into his eyes, she asked slowly, "How on earth did my father die?"

As soon as she asked this question, Shawn's body shuddered, and his face turned pale, but he still said, "Didn't that happen a long time ago? We all knew that Isai and Stanley joined forces to kill your father!"

Such a liar!

"You're lying!" At that moment, Sharon's voice suddenly went up a pitch. As she thought about the video she watched, her eyes reddened while she glared at him and said, "You're lying!"

Meanwhile, Shawn looked into her eyes and felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. With a frown, he reached out to pull Sharon. "Sharon, what's wrong with you..."

"Don't touch me!" Loudly, Sharon hollered and shook off his hand while she stared at him with an indignant expression. "Why did you hide right here in front of my father's tombstone for the past few days? Was it because you know you can't escape it this time, so you've been repenting in front of my father's tomb? Shawn, you have no right to repent for your sins in front of my father!"

Due to Sharon's grief and indignation, her facial features were distorted and hideous. The disgust and hatred in her eyes also could not be concealed as she said, "I'm so stupid. Why did I foolishly address the killer of my father as my brother for the past four years? Shawn, I'm sure that you have been laughing at me for being a fool, right?"

At that instant, Shawn's face turned ghastly pale, and he asked, "Sharon, what are you talking about?"

"Why are you still pretending!"

When Sharon heard his question, she couldn't help but roar as she took something out of her pocket and threw it at him. Subconsciously, Shawn reached out and caught the thing. It was her phone. However, he seemed to feel something in his heart as he turned on the phone with trembling hands. A moment later, he saw on the screen of the phone was a video that was played halfway.

With his pale fingers, he pressed on the screen to resume the video...

The person who appeared in the video was himself.

As the video played, Shawn could only feel a bang in his brain as he lost all his ability to think and act. Stiffly, he stood there and watched the one-minute-long video.

After he stared blankly for a moment, he seemed to have awakened from a dream. Immediately, he threw the phone away without even a second thought, as if it was a burning potato, and his face turned white as a piece of paper. In fact, he had never been as terrified as he was now.

Two days ago, when he was detained in the detention room while the well-trained officers took turns to interrogate him about his crimes, he wasn't even anxious. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, at that moment, he felt flurried and anxious, and he had no idea what to do.

The eyes of the woman in front of him were full of hate, without any other feelings. Just as Shawn reached out and wanted to pull her into his arms while he coaxed, "Sharon, listen to my explanation..."

On the other hand, Sharon was forcefully struggling to loosen his grip. However, Shawn hugged her tightly, and he didn't want to go of her because he was afraid that he would lose her if he let her go.

Tightly, he hugged her and stopped her arms and waist from moving around, then said hurriedly, "Just come with me and leave this place together. I promise that when we get out of here, I will tell you everything that happened back then, okay?"

The gaze from Sharon made him feel terrified.

It was a gaze that was filled with hatred and despair, and it was gaze as if she could never forgive him.

It seemed that the only thing he could do was to hold her tightly so that their relationship would not change, and she would not hate him and leave him for real...

In fact, he even had the idea to take her away from here. As soon as they left this place, he would keep her by his side and stay close to her, and she could even bear a child for him. Then slowly, as time passed, her wound would heal, and she would forgive him.

At that moment, Shawn decided to make his plan come true.

"Sharon, let's get out of here. I'll take you somewhere else! Uh!"

Just as Shawn finished his sentence, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his abdomen. Immediately, he let go of the woman in his arms and lowered his head in disbelief. A large amount of blood was slowly staining his shirt.
