Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 267

A week. Stanley had not seen her for a week. To be honest, he missed her.

Standing in place, he watched as Sharon walked towards him, one step at a time. At first, she was still a bit reserved, but when she got closer, she ran over and threw herself into his arms.

While Stanley had already opened his arms to welcome her.

The force of their hug was so strong that he took two steps back before regaining his balance.

Now that his arms were full, Stanley felt a sense of satisfaction slowly filling his heart. With that, he hugged Sharon tightly while resting his chin on her neck as he deeply inhaled her scent.

Never had he thought that he would miss a person so much.

'Ahem!¹'

Immediately, Sharon got out of Stanley's embrace with a blush on her face when she heard a light cough coming from the side.

Anthony and Ember were both looking at them teasingly, which made Sharon feel even more embarrassed. Yikes, she was acting too unretained, and now her image was probably gone!

Then, Sharon stood obediently in front of her mother-in-law. Nervously, she handed over the flowers to her as she said in anticipation, "Mom, here's a gift for our first meeting."

Well, because of the hug that happened just now, the gift was wrinkled with a few withering flowers. As Sharon stretched out her hand, she felt awkward.

Oh no!

Now their first meeting was not only embarrassing, but it was also disrespectful!

"Wow, the flowers are beautiful! Sharon, you're such a thoughtful and nice child."

As Ember was sitting in a wheelchair, she reached out her hand to receive the flowers. Seeing that, Sharon immediately took two steps forward and carefully handed it over.

Now that they had met face-to-face, Sharon's heart started to ache for Ember. She looked so skinny that all that was left were bones.

After exiting the airport, Anthony pushed Ember forward, and Sharon followed closely behind. Suddenly, Stanley pulled her into his broad arms.

But Sharon pushed him away. "Behave yourself. Your mom is gonna see us!"

Despite Sharon's warning, Stanley hugged her while he said in an extremely deep voice, "Just let me hug you for a while."

Sharon was startled. From his voice, she could hear his exhaustion and complex emotions, and even a sense of grief and powerlessness.

Although Sharon was clueless about what was wrong with him, all of a sudden, her heart ached for him. She did not say a thing, nor did she ask. She did not care about how other people might look at them, and hugged him back with all her strength.

Ember, who had already stopped by the car, looked back at her son and daughter-in-law who were hugging each other, and sighed slightly in her heart.

She understood her son, and she knew that Stanley still could not accept the fact that she gave up the treatment...

After some time, Sharon was released from the hug. Stanley rubbed her head and held her hand as they walked forward as if nothing had happened.

It felt as if her heart had been scratched by a claw. "Hey, just now... What's wrong?"

The weakness that he revealed at that moment was something she had never seen before. In Sharon's perception, he was not only fierce and decisive but also invincible. There was almost nothing that could make him decadent.

"What can happen to me? It's nothing. It's just because I miss you." Stanley tilted his face and squinted at her. "Don't you miss me?"

With that, Sharon looked at him with a frown. At this moment, Stanley had once again returned to his former, deep-minded self.

As Sharon pursed her lips, she said, "I don't miss you."

"Well, I think you really don't. It's just that you were unable to control your excitement, so you rushed up to hug me."

Sharon put down the milk in her hand, walked over, and Stanley took her into his arms. He hugged her very tightly until Sharon was almost out of breath.

After a long while, he finally let go of her. Sharon raised her small head and looked at him. "Do you feel tired?"

"I'm fine." Stanley took the pajamas from the bed and changed into them.

Sharon pointed to the bathroom. "I'll take a bath first. You rest."

"Okay." Stanley nodded.

Sharon went into the bathroom and quickly washed up. She had something to say to Stanley. But the moment she came out, he was already lying on the bed. Also, he had finished drinking the glass of milk on the bedside table.

Taken aback, Sharon then laughed. She quietly walked over, turned off the light lamp, and returned to the bed. She took the initiative to get into his embrace. Hugging him by the waist, she called out softly, "Honey?"

She could see his thick eyelashes when his eyes were closed, which cast shadows under his eyes. He was breathing evenly. So Sharon did not have the heart to disturb him.

Silently, she slept beside him. However, she did not feel sleepy at all. Her gaze landed on his face as she stared at his facial features.

Stanley, who was sleeping, frowned as if he was troubled by something in his sleep.

With that, Sharon extended her hand and caressed the space between his brows. She really wanted to smooth the space between his brows.

After looking at him for a long time, the drowsiness gradually came to her. In the end, she could not hold it in, and she fell asleep in no time.

The next day, when she woke up, the other side of the bed was empty. Sharon stretched out her hand and touched it. The feeling on his side was still warm. It meant that he had just woken up.

At this moment, there was some movement in the bathroom. Sharon raised her head and looked over. Stanley was taking a shower. When he came out, his upper body was naked, with a bath towel tied around his waist. The upper half of his body was sturdy and tight, and the scent of a man's aura emanated to her.
