Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 332

Although Stanley's words were gentle, there was conviction in them. He stood tall in the sunlight, his whole body enveloped in brimming light, and his facial features were sharp and prominent.

This stunned not only the crowd around, but also Sharon.

In the past few years, she had been taking care of the children all by herself. No matter what happened, she would always try to resolve things quickly and not make a big deal out of it as she thought this would frighten the children.

It was the same the last time when the children fought. She privately apologized and sent apology gifts to the other child’s parents, quietly dissolving this issue.

It was just that every time she saw them, they would always ridicule her.

Each time she was ridiculed, Sharon would only tolerate it since it was not physical abuse. She didn't think that they would meet the couple since it was Stanley's first time coming to the school with her and the children. Moreover, she certainly didn't expect Stanley would take the initiative to stand up and protect her.

She hadn't felt this protected for a long time; the feeling that no matter what happened, someone would always stand in front to protect her and not let her get insulted.

This felt really good.

Sharon stood behind Stanley, staring at his broad back in a daze, and tears started welling up in her eyes.

On the other hand, that couple obviously didn't expect that Sharon, who had always been easy to manipulate and bully, suddenly showed up with a smart and tough husband.

It was obvious that the woman was used to being unreasonable. Although she was intimidated by Stanley's imposing manner, she still couldn't help but retaliated, "Oh, so your children are your treasure, and you think it isn't the same for me? I know my son very well too. He wouldn't have initiated a fight. It was definitely your child who started it!"

"Shut up!" Sharon couldn't tolerate it anymore. Pushing aside Stanley, she strode over and looked at the woman coldly, "I'm warning you! If you don't like it, then you can come at me. If I hear you insult my child again, believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

Obviously, the woman did not expect that Sharon would suddenly be so protective of her child and was slightly taken aback. Stepping a few steps back, she could only stare and point at Sharon but was too tongue-tied to say anything.

Stanley walked up to stand beside Sharon. As he stood side by side with her, his deep and dark eyes shifted to the stupefied teacher not far away. In a deep voice, he said, "Since someone deliberately embarrassed my wife today, I am not a man if I don't seek justice for her and my children. Miss Clifton, please show us the video of the incident that day, and ask all the adults on duty that day to come here. I'd like to see which child was the one stirring up trouble and bullying others!"

It was actually quite common for children to fight, and usually, it would not be a big issue. But this woman's family, the Garners, were too unreasonable; their child was definitely the one who bullied Sadie first, which caused Seamus to fight back as he couldn’t bear his younger sister being bullied.

The Garners were in the wrong, but they had the impression that Sharon, as a single mother, was easy to bully, and so they took advantage of the situation.

To avoid trouble, the school tried to decelerate the situation by talking to Sharon, who looked more easygoing. The school authorities certainly did not expect the Garners to bring it up again.

Sharon raised her head and glanced at him. "Sometimes, some things will pass if you can endure for just a moment. It won't be advantageous for you to get involved with that sort of person."

With his mouth tightly pursed, Stanley stared at her. "Sharon, good people are easily bullied. If you continue to tolerate, these people will become more aggressive. They won't think that you're magnanimous and don't want to cause trouble. They'll only think that you're easy to bully!"

Sharon opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but the words seemed to be caught in her throat, and nothing came out.

In the car, Stanley was driving silently while Sharon looked a little absent- minded. A moment later, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "You are right. Now that I think about this period of time... Each time I meet Mrs. Garner, she will definitely make fun of me. Perhaps I was too simple-minded and thought that she'll leave me alone as long as I don't find trouble with her."

But she had forgotten about human nature; humans were like that, the more you didn't fight back, the more the other party would cross the line.

"I always took the children alone. I always wanted to protect them. I thought that only by causing less trouble could I protect them better. So when I encounter this kind of provocation, I subconsciously avoid it. I don't want the children to get involved in these things. I am afraid that they will be implicated..."

After Sharon finished muttering, Stanley's hand that was holding onto the steering wheel shook violently. Everything she did was for the sake of the children. Even if she was bullied and wronged, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

For the first time, he hated himself for going missing the last four years and even regretted not taking the initiative to recall those memories back then. If he had done so, he would have found out earlier that he had a wife and even children, and he would have protected them so as not to let them suffer those grievances.
