Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 154

The door of the ward was pushed open again. Shawn thought it was the nurse conning in so he shouted without looking up, "Get out!"

"If you want me to get out, then I'll go."

Shawn suddenly looked up and saw Sharon who had returned. He was stunned. "Sharon, why are you back?"

"I never leave."

"You..."

Sharon went to the table, took the food out from the thermos, and came to him. She set up a simple dining table for him and said, "I didn't say that I'm leaving. I just went to the doctor to ask if you can eat these."

Shawn held her hand tightly. "I apologize for what happened just now."

He was too strong that Sharon frowned, and he immediately let go of her hand.

"It's okay." Sharon handed him the cutlery and said, "Go ahead and eat."

Shawn glanced at her and began to eat with his head down without saying anything.

He didn't eat much though. He put the spoon down after gulping two mouthfuls of soup, to which Sharon arched her eyebrows and asked, "Is it not suitable for your taste?"

"No, the food is delicious. Don't misunderstand." Shawn immediately explained, "Can you send me food again tomorrow?"

Sharon nodded. "I promised to send you meals, and I will keep doing so until you are discharged."

Shawn smiled. "Aren't you going to work?"

Sharon frowned. "How do you know about my work?"

Shawn coughed.

"Have you investigated me?" Sharon understood as soon as she saw his reaction. "How much do you know about me?"

Shawn raised his eyes and looked at her deeply. "Everything."

Sharon was stunned. "So you know about Stanley and I..."

"Yes," Shawn looked at her and said.

Sharon stared at him in a daze. She had planned to keep the marriage between her and Stanley a secret to anyone.

Now that he knew it, it was the right time to talk it out.

"Yes, I got married to him." Sharon took a deep breath. "A year ago, I married him."

Shawn didn't expect that she would take the initiative to talk about this to him. He frowned and looked at her with his mouth tightly pursed.

Sharon stood not far from his bed and said word by word, "Shawn, my husband is Stanley. Since I have married him, I won't have any contact with you. Do you understand?"

"But you don't love him!" Shawn held back his anger and said firmly.

Sharon glanced at him. "How do you know that I don't love him?"

"From several aspects! I can tell that you don't love him. Sharon, no one knows you better than I do. I can see through you at a glance if you love someone or not."

Shawn's gazes were burning. "Sharon, I am the one you love."

His tone was full of certainty that Sharon laughed because of his arrogance. "What makes you think so?"

"Peter said that after I was shot, you stayed outside the operating room for a whole night and cried so hard that you couldn't catch your breath. Besides, you didn't even want to leave no matter what." Shawn looked straight at her.

Sharon chuckled and said, "You took a bullet for me. As a normal person, shouldn't I be worried?"

"Since you are worried, does it mean that you still have me in your heart?"

He looked straight into her eyes and approached her slowly. "I'm willing to block that shot. Even if I die, I won't regret it."

Sharon's body trembled. "Shawn, why are you doing this? It's impossible between us. Just move on..."

"No!" Shawn interrupted her abruptly. "Why should I move on from the beautiful past we shared together?"

"Sharon, for so many years, I have missed you every single day. I have never forgotten you. This time when I came back and found you again, I have only one request, let's start over!"

The more Shawn said, the more worked up he became. There were expectations and yearning in his eyes.

Sharon pursed her lips and looked at him. "I'm married. I'm Stanley's wife. I won't have a future with you. This is a reality and you have to realize it."

In the end, she made up her mind and said sternly, "I will never divorce him. I love him. Shawn, I don't love you anymore!"

Shawn's whole body trembled, and his face was pale.

"Back then, we were young. I was a teenager, and you were the only man around me, so it's normal for me to like you." Sharon fixed her eyes on him. "But that's just puppy love. It's just infatuation, not true love."

Sharon looked at Shawn, whose blue veins popped up on his forehead, and said, "You and I are in the past. Let go and move on, okay?"

Shawn stared at her. After a short while, he suddenly burst into laughter. "Let go and move on? How? How do you want me to let go? You saved me when I was in my worst state and gave me the best years in my life. Those memories have been engraved in my bones. I don't have any feelings for other women but you! How do you want me to let go and move on? Tell me, Sharon, how can I let go?"

Sharon looked at him in a daze.

She didn't expect that what happened back then would have such a deep impact on him.

There was only Sharon in Shawn's eyes. "You avoided me because of what happened between Cecilia and me, didn't you?"

Sharon shook her head. "No..."

Sharon was confident that this would drive him away.

Shawn's expression froze, his heart skipping a beat. He squinted in dismay. "Why do you still love him even after he is having an affair with a celebrity? That actress has a special relationship with him."

After being poked in her sore spot, Sharon's face turned pale. "It's just a fling. I can understand that."

Shawn was finally enraged by her words. "Sharon, where is your dignity? Where are your pride and self-esteem?"

Her pride and self-esteem had long been cast aside when her father had an accident.

If she had kept those useless things, her father would have been dead long ago.

"Have a good rest. I'll come over when I'm free."

Sharon didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she turned around and left.

Shawn was too obsessed at the moment that he wouldn't think it through no matter what she said.

This made Sharon very helpless.

She didn't know how else could she make him let go and move on.

Shawn did not chase after her. Looking at her slim back, his eyes were red with anger. He clenched his hands into fists and blue veins popped up on the back of his hands.

On the other hand, when Stanley arrived at Howard's residence, Howard was not at home. Before he left yesterday, he gave him a spare key.

Now it was the right time to use it.

When he opened the door and went in, the living room was quiet and no one was in it.

The door of the guest room was half-opened. Last night, Rebecca slept in this room. Stanley walked over and froze when he saw her sitting on the window sill. He immediately strode over and shouted, "Rebecca!"

The woman sitting on the windowsill wore a white dress with her hair reaching her waist. A breeze blew, and her black hair and white dress rose at the same time, creating an alluring and beautiful picture.

Hearing his call, Rebecca turned around and was stunned when she looked at Stanley who suddenly appeared in the house. "Stanley?"

Stanley nodded and extended his hand to her. "It's me. Come here!"

Rebecca sat still, half of her body hanging outside the window. "When did you come?"

Stanley slowly walked over to her and said, "I just arrived."

"Hey." Rebecca smiled. "I thought you wouldn't come."

As soon as she finished speaking, Stanley grabbed her hand and dragged her back into the room. Rebecca cried out in surprise and fell into his embrace. After stepping away from the window, he asked her loudly, "Why are you sitting in such a dangerous place?"

Rebecca looked at his unhappy eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then she came to her senses and said, "Do you think I want to kill myself because I take it too hard?"
