Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 125

Holding her in his arms and stabilizing himself, Stanley lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms. "What are you doing?"

Sharon buried her face in his chest and said with a trace of fear in her voice, "Where were you just now?"

Stanley pursed his lips and said, "I was downstairs."

Sharon hugged him tightly. "Don't go please."

Her clinginess made his heart involuntarily melt. He sighed and raised his hand to stroke her hair. "I'm just downstairs, and I haven't gone anywhere."

As he spoke, he brought her to bed, and between his movements, Sharon let out a hissing cry.

Stanley came to his senses and scolded her, "You deserve it. Why didn't you remember the injury on your feet when you rushed to me just now?"

Sharon pouted with grievance and said, "I forgot..."

"Don't move. Sit down and let me have a look."

Stanley was going to hold her hand.

Sharon held his waist and did not let go. "No."

Stanley let out a helpless chuckle. "Come on, let go of me first. Let me take a look at your injury."

"No." Sharon said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid."

Afraid...

His deep eyes narrowed slightly. Jackson said that two thugs were harassing her. When he rushed over, she was wet all over that he could almost see everything under the drenched thin layer of clothes. She curled up in the corner, looking very pitiful.

At the thought of this, Stanley felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

"Don't be afraid." He bowed his head and kissed her forehead. "It's okay. Those two b*stards didn't do anything to you. It's okay now."

Sharon held his waist tightly and shook her head. "I'm not afraid of that. I'm afraid of thunder."

Stanley froze.

Afraid... of thunder?

Did he hear it correctly?

Raising her face, Stanley looked into her eyes.

"Sharon, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

When Sharon was about to shake her head, there was a sudden "bang" outside the window. The flashing lightning and rumbling thunder sounded particularly horrifying and frightening.

Her body went stiff and her face was pale. She grabbed Stanley's arm so tightly that her nails almost penetrated through his flesh.

Okay, he believed her now.

She was not afraid of the thugs, but the thunder instead!

"Don't be afraid. It's just thunder. There's nothing to be afraid of." He smiled helplessly and pinched her cheek. Thinking of something, his face sank. "Since you're so timid, why did you still dare to run out alone?"

Sharon spoke very softly, "I just ran and ran, and when I wanted to go back, it was too far away..."

Stanley pursed his lips. "Do you regret it now?"

"No."

"Huh?" Stanley narrowed his eyes.

Sharon spoke softly again, "If I didn't run out, I wouldn't have the chance to have a nice conversation with you like right now."

Was she blaming him for treating her like that in the villa?

Stanley wanted to say something, but in the end, he held it in, concerning her feelings.

"It's okay. It's over now."

Stanley picked her up, went to the bedside, put her on the bed, and then lifted her foot to check her injury. After taking a look at her, he frowned.

She shouldn't have walked after the gauze dressing. However, she literally jumped down from the bed just now and walked on the injury, so now the white gauze had already been stained with blood.

Sharon retracted her foot. "I-I'm fine..."

Stanley glanced at her and let go of her. Sharon immediately sat down in bed.

"It's getting late. Go to sleep."

Stanley got up and was about to turn off the lights.

"Dear..." Sharon suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Stanley turned around and looked at her. "What's the matter?"

"Are you... still angry?"

Stanley turned his head away and said calmly, "No."

"You must be!" Sharon looked at him and knew that he was lying.

Stanley turned around and glared at her. "If you know that I will be angry, why did you piss me off? Why did you be with Liam Frazier alone? Do you know that he is a dangerous person and he can do anything?"

Thinking that she was in an unstable mood now, he only chided her softly and avoided the heated arguments.

Sharon sniffed and said, "I'm sorry."

"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you apologize?" Stanley's face darkened. "Are you using that pitiful trick against me?"

Sharon shook her head. "No..."

"You are!"

Sharon was anxious and reached out to grab his hand. "No, I didn't. Really!"

Stanley snorted.

Sharon glanced at him and whispered, "It's not me who wanted to go with him, but he took me away without my knowledge. When I woke up, I was already at his place. Nothing happened between us. Why don't you trust me?"

She felt distressed too. He never really considered her feelings but got annoyed by himself.

Was she the kind of person who would betray him?

He didn't trust her at all!

When Sharon thought about it, she felt upset.

Stanley looked at her seriously. "It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't believe in him."

Liam was wicked and vicious by nature and he was capable of doing anything bad. It was not safe for Sharon to be with him.

"Do you still remember the last time you said that I imprisoned you?"
