Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 106

"Howard, I think I fall in love with her."

The cigarette in Howard's hand fell to the ground.

It was such a shocking disclosure that caught him off guard.

Did he fell in love with her?

Who was she?

Sharon?

Stanley was out of his mind, wasn't he? He wasn't supposed to love Sharon when he married her! Howard was utterly shocked.

If Stanley fell in love with Sharon, then when Sharon's father would wake up, it could turn the world upside down!

Howard came to his senses and stepped on the cigarette on the ground. He strode over and said, "What kind of joke is that? Do you really fall in love with her, or are you kidding me?"

Stanley took a deep drag on his cigarette, his Adam's apple bobbing. He wanted to say that he was joking, but he couldn't say it because he wasn't.

Every word he said was true.

Howard stood still for a long time before he came to his senses. He took out another cigarette and wanted to light it up, but the night wind was too strong that it extinguished the fire every time he tried to lit the cigarette.

Eventually, he simply threw away his cigarette and let out a long sigh. "You have always had good self-control."

Stanley smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I thought too."

But no matter how good his self-control was, he still couldn't help falling in love with her.

Howard pursed his lips and looked deeply at Stanley. "When you married her, you knew that you couldn't have feelings for her..."

"I know that."

If he knew it, why would this happen?

"So... what are you going to do now?" Howard glanced at him.

"If she knows that you marry her only because of her vegetative father in the future, she will probably hate you if she learns the truth."

Stanley smoked silently. He was speechless for a long time.

He shouldn't have tried to keep a close distance from her from the beginning, but he couldn't control his feelings.

He could control a lot of things, but he couldn't control his feelings for Sharon again and again.

Perhaps he had fallen in love with her a long time ago, but he denied the true feeling all the time.

"Well talk about it later." Stanley took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Howard frowned and looked at him. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

After Howard left, Stanley silently smoked a few more cigarettes, and the cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

Stanley took a look at the caller ID. It was not a domestic phone number.

Thinking of the time difference, it should be daytime in Lofrana.

Stanley answered, "Hi, Mom."

His mother's voice sounded good on the phone. "Am I interrupting your rest time?"

"No." Stanley smiled. "Why did you call me at this hour?" "I felt a little better today, so I asked the attending doctor. He gave me five minutes to call you." His mother smiled. "What about you? How have you been recently?"

Stanley put out his cigarette. He was in a much better mood as he listened to the soothing voice on the phone. "Everything is still the same. Life is plain, but..."

His mother raised her eyebrows as she heard the underlying meaning in her son's words. "What's the matter?"

Stanley laughed out loud and said, "Do you still remember the young wife I've married?"

"Have you fallen in love with her?"

"I'm indeed your son. You can even guess it so accurately."

His mother smiled and said, "If you have time, bring her here and let me see. I want to see what kind of girl my son likes."

"Nothing to look at. She's very ugly."

"Is she really ugly, or you deliberately lied to me that she's not good-looking?"

The corners of Stanley's mouth twitched, and there was a hint of gentleness in his voice that even he couldn't hear, "She has a bad temper and a stubborn personality. I'm afraid that she will humiliate herself when she meets you."

"So what? She's my daughter-in-law. I don't mind that at all."

The more she listened, the happier she sounded. "When I'm better and can get out of bed, take her to see me, okay?"

After a pause, his mother sighed again. "I hope I can see you more often while I'm still alive. Otherwise, we won't have the chance to see each other even if you want to in the future."

Stanley's heart sank, and the joy disappeared without a trace.

"Mom, there's something I need to tell you."

Her mother sensed the seriousness in his voice and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"The wife's father is Reuben Cruz."

His mother was stunned. "...He is the candidate who met all the indicators."

Stanley nodded heavily. "Yes."

His mother's lips trembled and she couldn't say a word.

"God is so unfair."

Why did this happen to them? Stanley was hurt by Rebecca and Liam seven years ago. After seven years, he finally moved on from the pain and began to learn to love someone again, but...

His mother closed her eyes. "Stanley, give up,

"No!"

Before his mother finished her words, Stanley interrupted her directly. "I won't watch you die in vain. I won't give up."

His mother still wanted to say something, but the doctor outside the ward had already urged her. "Mrs. Jones, you need to rest. Please don't talk too long on the phone. It's bad for your health."

His mother sighed and said to the phone, "Think about what I said. The doctor doesn't allow me to talk to you anymore. I need to take medicine and rest."

"Okay," said Stanley. "Have a good rest. Contact me when you have time."

His mother hung up the phone.

Stanley threw the phone aside. He reached out to pinch his temple, and his handsome face was full of exhaustion.

Looking in the direction of the bedroom, Stanley strode over.

He pushed open the door and walked in.

Sharon had fallen asleep, curling up into a small ball and did not move.

Stanley walked over and lay down beside her.
