Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 357

Jimmy looked a little confused while thinking about the matter. A moment later, he came to his senses and realized what he had said, so he chuckled and patted his forehead. "I didn't sleep last night, which is why I'm talking nonsense now."

However, Stanley only stared at him with a frown.

Looking at the closed door of the bedroom, Jimmy said, "She probably will not come out as long as I am still here."

"Jimmy... Please be honest. Are you hiding something from me? What happened between you and Ariah?" Stanley inquired in a gruff voice.

After Jimmy glanced at him, he replied, "What else could it be? I cheated on her. Anna has been with me for many years. Before her father died, he entrusted her to me. Because she was the only one left in her family, she had nowhere else to go if I didn't take care of her. Oh, and I really did like her before I married Ariah."

The more Stanley listened, the deeper his frown grew. He did know something about Jimmy and Anna. Back then, Stanley had already warned Jimmy that he could have fun with her, but he should not be too serious, for he and Ariah were already a married couple.

Unfortunately, the secret was still found out by Ariah, who immediately went ballistic.

Jimmy didn't seem to be willing to talk too much about this, so he sat up straight and said, "You asked me to contact some district officials, right? I've got the replies from them." "Really?" Stanley squinted his eyes. "What did they say?"

"The officials didn't believe that you would cooperate with them because that man is your own father. The answer they gave was quite vague." Jimmy then frowned and added, "However, one of the officials will have a confidential meeting next month, so you can talk to him."

Jimmy had asked for this information from his parents. If they knew that he was looking for this news to help Stanley seek revenge against Isai, they would definitely blow a gasket.

Jimmy's father hoped that he would not have to pick sides. If he chose the wrong side, the winning side might seek to ruin his future.

Frankly speaking, Stanley was touched by Jimmy's effort of doing this for him. He knew that this act had exceeded what a friend would normally do, so he was extremely grateful to Jimmy.

At the same time, Sharon and Ariah were staying in the room. No one knew what they were talking about. Stanley wondered why women could stay with their friends for a few hours without getting bored.

It was only when the deliveryman arrived Stanley knocked on their door.

Eventually, it was Seamus, the little handsome boy, who opened the door.

The two women, together with a little girl, were lying on the bed and watching a video via iPad. Sharon was suffering from menstrual pain, so she had been too lazy to move. As for Sadie, she was close to Ariah, so she lied comfortably in the latter's arms. When the door was opened, all of them turned their heads at the same time in surprise.

Seeing that Sharon's face was a little pale, Stanley frowned and walked over. When his gaze fell on her face, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Sharon could say anything, Ariah had brought the two children out and closed the door forthem.

That was quite embarrassing for Sharon.

The man was in white sports attire, for he didn't have to go to the company recently. He was tall as he stood by her bed. When his dark eyes swept across her hands that put on her tummy, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Are you not feeling well?" After sitting down next to her, he stretched out his arms and directly embraced her with his long hands. He then placed his warm palms on her tummy and gently massaged her muscles.

As he lifted his hands, he placed his palms on her shoulders and stared at her. Sharon was thus forced to look into his pitch-black eyes. "Sharon, you already knew what Isai has done. He could do anything he wished. Stop being so stubborn. For your safety, please just stay with me."

In response, she blinked her big watery eyes, which were bright and somewhat pitiful. Stanley couldn't stand her looking at him like this, so he silently sighed and was about to make his request less daunting. Before he said anything, Sharon had nodded her head and agreed, "Okay, then I'll resign tomorrow. If I don't go to work, the company will fire me sooner or later..."

Stanley didn't think that she would actually agree. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he remained silent with a serious look, Sharon pursed her lips and asked, "What else do you want? I'm going to resign. Isn't that enough?"

She was infuriated by his insatiable demands.

"Why are you so worried?" Stanley didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I was just about to ask whether this was what you truly wanted. I hope you won't think that I was forcing you and start arguing with me."

Was that why he looked displeased?

"I am aware of the danger we are in now. For safety's sake, I will listen to you and stay by your side. I know you care about us very much."

Her reply delighted him. Without saying anything, he pressed her down on the bed and began to kiss her.

That abrupt act rendered her speechless.
