"No!"
She reached out to stop him.
Stanley was a little annoyed. "Be good. Don't move..."
As he spoke, he reached out to remove her clothes.
Sharon clamped her legs and tried her best to not let him succeed in removing her clothes.
Stanley frowned. He was in the heat of the moment. The more restrained she was, the more he wanted her!
His bad nature was completely exposed.
"Uh... Stanley... No..."
Sharon wanted to run away, but he pulled her back and pressed her under him again.
She knew that he would give her a hard time if he didn't get what he wanted.
So she gave up resisting and just let him do as he pleased.
Suddenly...
A ringtone resonated. It was from the phone in Stanley's pocket.
Stanley didn't seem to want to answer the phone at all. Sharon pushed him, her breath unstable. "Your... your phone..."
The annoying ringtone did not stop ringing. Stanley stopped, his expression livid, grabbed the phone from his pocket with his slender fingers, looked at it, and froze.
Rebecca.
It was from Rebecca.
Rebecca stayed at Howard's place tonight. She came back too suddenly, so Stanley could only send her to Howard's place.
Before leaving, he told Howard to call him if there was anything wrong.
At this moment, Howard suddenly called him. It must be Rebecca.
Howard would not call him in the middle of night.
Thinking of this, Stanley let go of Sharon, got up, and went to pick up the phone outside.
Sharon was stunned. She didn't expect that Stanley, who was in the mood, would suddenly stop. Under normal circumstances, if someone disturbed him, he would definitely turn off his phone.
But now he literally let her go and answered the phone.
There was only one possibility, that was, the person who called was very important.
Who could it be?
Was it the old friend he told her about?
Thinking of this, Sharon looked at his back and blurted out, "Who is it?"
He stopped, leaned to one side, and looked at her. His face was hidden in the dark, so she couldn't see his expression but only hear his low and deep voice as he said, "A friend. You go to sleep first. I won't touch you tonight."
He was really not in the mood at the thought of Rebecca.
Sharon was startled.
Who was so capable that made him lose his mood all of a sudden?
Sharon wanted to ask, but Stanley didn't want to say more. He took his mobile phone, went to the balcony of the bedroom, and closed the door.
Sharon was stunned again. Looking at his straight back, she slowly lay down.
"Hello..." Stanley answered the phone, his eyes reflecting the dark night. "Howard."
"Stanley, it's me," Rebecca's voice came from the phone.
Stanley pinched his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Why are you awake? Didn't I tell you to rest more?"
"When I woke up, I found that you were not here. I was very nervous and couldn't fall asleep, so I borrowed Howard's phone to call you."
"Where is Howard? Give him the phone, and I'll ask him to check on you to see..."
"No, I'm fine." Rebecca interrupted him and bit her lip. "I- I miss you. Can you come and accompany me? I had a nightmare."
Stanley leaned to one side and shifted his gaze to the bedroom. From his angle, he could see Sharon's petite figure as she curled into a ball and lay on the bed. She was tossing and turning on the large soft bed like a cub, unable to fall asleep.
Stanley lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I'll go and see you tomorrow. Have a good sleep tonight."
"Stanley..."
"Be good. Rest well. We'll meet tomorrow."
Rebecca bit her lips and hugged her knees with both hands. Her voice began to choke, and she started to cry. "For seven years, I always dreamed of coming back to you, but I was guarded at all times, and I was not allowed to step out of the house. During these seven years, I deliberately befriended the guards to let their guards down, so I stole my passport from them and sneaked back to the country... Stanley, in order to separate us, your father sent people to keep an eye on me every day. He didn't let me back here. I can't come back... I can't come back to see you!"
At this point, she broke down and began to cry. "I know that after such a long time, you must have no feelings for me, but I love you, and I still love you! Don't ignore me, don't leave me... Stanley, I love you!"
Her cry broke his heart. Stanley pursed his lips tightly and told her word by word, "I won't ignore you. Have a good rest tonight, and I will see you tomorrow. Don't worry!"
"Promise!"
"I promise!"
Rebecca smiled and wiped her tears. "I won't bother you to rest then. Good night."
After that, she hung up the phone.
Stanley took out a cigarette and lit it up. He took a long drag and calmed down. Looking at the dark night, he remembered that Rebecca had tried her best to take a bullet for him seven years ago.
He owed her.
He owed her a life, and compensation.
When Stanley returned to the bedroom, Sharon, who had been lying on her stomach, immediately sat up when she heard the noise. "Have you finished your call?"
