Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 156

Sharon wondered when had she fallen in love with Stanley. Was it the day when Harvey kidnapped her and Stanley fought with him regardless of his life, or earlier?

However, deep in her heart, she was afraid that Stanley didn't like her.

So she never dared to delve deeply into what he had done that touched her.

She was afraid that he would say that he protected her was only because he was her husband.

She did not want such an answer.

She wanted him to fall in love with her as well.

She wanted such an answer.

However, she wouldn't get such an answer forever, would she?

"Hey, I'm asking you a question here! Why are you in a daze?" Sharon came back to her senses upon hearing Evonne's impatient voice. "Can't you go plead with Mr. Jones and ask him to spare Cascade Enterprise? Sharon, I can see that he cares about you very much. If you go to plead with him, he may listen to you."

Sharon laughed and said, "He is a big shot. Why would he listen to me?"

Evonne's voice suddenly became sharp. "So, you want Cascade Enterprise to perish, don't you?"

"It's none of my business whether Cascade Enterprise went bankrupt or not. It's not me who wants the company to perish. Also, if you want to make Stanley not make a move on Cascade Enterprise, why do you come to me? Go and find him. I'm not the president of Jones Group. I have no right to speak!"

After that, Sharon shook off her hand, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Sharon Cruz, you are so cruel!" Evonne didn't expect that she would be humiliated like this. She was so angry that she stomped her feet and shouted, "I gave birth to you and raised you. Now that you have hooked up with a sugar daddy, you come against your own mother personally, huh! You'll go to hell for being so ungrateful!"

Sharon looked back at her. There was no expression on her face, and her gazes were cold. "Gave birth to me and raised me? Gave birth to me, yes; but have you really raised me? You were never home when I was in primary school. Other children went home every day with a table of their mother's home-cooked meal, but I got nothing!"

"What about when I was in junior high school? I saw you twice a month at most! Did you know how the teachers and students gossip behind my back? They said that my mother cheated on my father! Forget all that! When dad got into the accident, I knelt down in front of you and begged you. Did you remember what you said? You told me to get lost and don't show up in front of you again! You said that you have nothing to do with the Cruz family and it's none of your business whether dad is dead or alive! Evonne Murray, you've never raised me, not even a day! I hate you and I wish I'm not related to you at all!"

Evonne looked at her in a daze. Her lips trembled and her body was shaking. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.

Sharon looked away, turned around, and left, her hands trembling slightly.

She had kept these words in her heart for so many years, and today she could finally vent it out.

When Sharon came out of the hospital, it was already 5 pm. Whenever she encountered unhappy things such as now, she always wanted to pig out.

As soon as she spilled everything to Evonne, the emotions that she had suppressed for many years were eventually released in an instant, to which she felt rather void right now.

She came to the restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes by herself. While eating, she called Melody. "Hey girl, what are you doing?"

"I'm working. What's up?"

"Nothing, I'm just asking. Alright then, go ahead with your work."

Melody was keenly aware of her abnormality. "Sharon, is there something wrong with you?"

"Nothing, really. I just want to know if you're off today. If you are, I can ask you out for dinner."

"Why don't I ask for leave..."

"No, you go ahead and work. I'm really fine. I'll go back after dinner."

After finishing her words, Sharon hung up the phone immediately.

Melody's salary would be deducted if she asked for leave, so it would be better to let her work.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Sharon felt lonely and a little pitiful.

She took out her mobile phone, hesitated for a while, and finally dialed Stanley's number.

When Stanley received Sharon's call, he was having dinner with Rebecca. His phone was buzzing to which Rebecca looked over casually and saw Sharon's name on the screen.

It was obviously a woman's name.

Seven years ago, there was no woman with such a name around Stanley.

Then she must be the woman he knew after she "died".

She looked away and was about to say something when Stanley put down the cutlery in his hand and picked up his phone.

"Why, is it inconvenient to talk in front of me?" Rebecca asked with a smile as she saw a flash of hesitation in his eyes.

Stanley smiled and said, "I don't want to bother you eating."

"I don't mind."

"Go ahead. I'll answer the phone."

"Okay."

As soon as Stanley pressed the answer button, Sharon's soft voice came from the other end of the line, "Hubby, what are you doing?"

Hubby?

She called him so intimately.

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Yes? Do you need anything from me?"

She wouldn't be such a sweet- talker otherwise.

Sharon took a sip of the soup and rolled her eyes. "Can't I call you for fun?"

"So, you don't need anything from me?"

"No!"

Stanley laughed. "Okay, if you say so..."

"There is one thing that I need from you," Sharon interjected with a giggle before he could finish.

"Well, what are you doing now?" she asked.
