Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 421

Stanley's body stiffened he lay still. After what seemed like a long while, he moved his arms. However, it was dark and so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

Did she dream of Shawn?

Or was she mumbling about something else?

With a complicated look on his face, Stanley gazed at Sharon. After a long while, he brushed off those thoughts he was ruminating on. He took a deep breath and told himself not to overthink but to go to sleep.

Sharon started dreaming again.

This time, it was the same dream as that night where she dreamt that Shawn and herself lived in a small town; they were happy, and it was peaceful; there was only Shawn and her father who accompanied her.

Sharon clearly knew that everything in her dream was unreal, but her dreams were so vivid that everything seemed real, so much so that her dreams kept on repeating themselves. She felt as though she were about to dwell in her dream.

It wasn't until she heard Stanley's voice that Sharon was suddenly awakened. When she saw the anxious expression on Stanley's face, she didn't know how to respond.

"Sharon, are you having a nightmare?" asked Stanley as he picked her up from bed. "You are sweating all over, and I couldn't even wake you up. What's the matter?"

What's the matter?

Confused, Sharon looked at Stanley, who had a worried look on his face.

After a long time, she gulped and shook her head. "No, nothing, I just dreamed of something terrible. I wanted to wake up from the dream, but I couldn't seem to do so. Fortunately, you woke me up."

Stretching out his hand, Stanley reached out to hug her. "It's fine now."

"Yes."

Sharon nodded and wiped her forehead, which was full of sweat as expected.

"I want to take a bath." Her body was sticky, and that made her uncomfortable.

"Let me give you a hand."

After carrying her into the bathroom, Stanley placed her on the washstand, before filling the bathtub with water. Only then did he signal Sharon to go in and take a bath.

Sharon's face reddened a little. "Why don't you go

out first?"

If he stood there, how could she take off her clothes?

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "We're married. It's not a big deal if I help you take a bath. Furthermore, you can't really bathe yourself in your current condition."

He walked over as he spoke. "So, I'm here to bathe you, alright?"

It seemed like he was asking a question, but his actions said otherwise.

This rendered Sharon speechless.

After a moment of silence, Sharon followed him. However, she was completely naked while he was completely clothed, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She sat in the bathtub, trying to hide from him, and tensed her body.

"I can really do it myself." Sharon drew back to her side as she said, "I feel like an infant when you have to bathe me. Just so you know, I've been taking a bath by myself for the past two months, and I didn't even fall or hurt myself. Don't worry."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Stanley's hand which was brushing her back stopped for a moment.

Now that Stanley had asked about it, Sharon thought for a moment and said, "I was dreaming that he had left the small town back then and had always been by my side. After I finished high school and college, I went back to the town to become a teacher, and together... we got married, had children, and my father didn't die, and he was still alive and well by my side. But in the dream... in the dream..."

Sharon didn't know what to say.

Stanley looked straight at her. "What happened in your dream?"

"In my dream... I didn't have you." Sharon's quivering lips said. "In my dream, I've never met you before. I don't know you. To me, you were just a stranger."

Stanley's lips were tightly pursed into a straight line. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "It's all just a dream, it's not real. Don't think too much about it."

Sharon sighed, "Yes, I know it's all unreal. I didn't give it much thought, and you shouldn't think much of it too. It's just a dream."

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Nodding, Stanley replied with a 'hmm'. However, he had been frowning the entire time, and it was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood.

Just then, the silence in the air was interrupted by a ringing phone.

Stanley glanced at the caller ID and then at Sharon. Her face was still pale and her hands that were placed on her knees were subtly trembling. Knowing that she didn't want him to leave, Stanley sat down beside her and answered the phone in front of her. "Hello."

It was a call from home.

On the other side, it was the secretary of the middle- aged man on the phone. When he answered the phone, the secretary said directly, "Stanley, there's something I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?" "Your father... I mean, Isai is missing!"
