Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 229

Irritably, Stanley pinched the space between his eyebrows. His well- defined features revealed a deep sense of fatigue and tiredness.

Seeing that, Jackson did not force him. He knew Stanley had not slept well for the past three days. Any man would have been caught off guard.

"Then you should have a good rest. You need to recover your strength tonight, so that we can deal with Harvey tomorrow. If we see... The child, only then we'll talk about it."

With that, Stanley nodded.

Standing up, Jason left.

After Stanley had re-closed the door, he sat on the chair, and let the weight of his entire body leaned on it. After a while, the doorbell rang. Getting up, Stanley went to open the door. Anthony was standing outside with a paper bag in his hand. "Mr. Jones, there's no Asian food around, so I went and got some hamburgers. Please have some together with Mr. King."

"I'm not eating, I don't have an appetite. Jackson has gone back. You should get some rest too. Once we're done here, we'll return to the country."

Hearing that, Anthony nodded and sighed. "Mr. Jones, good night."

"Yes."

Then, Stanley closed the door and took a shower. When he was lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, alas he could not sleep. Looking several times at the phone on the bedside table, he still endured it.

"Forget it, I'll return tomorrow. By then, I'll explain everything to her."

Knowing that she must be furious with him, Stanley was not sure if he could coax her this time.

On the outer side, that woman seemed weak, but in reality, she had a feisty temper. If she was furious, he was not confident that he could make her happy.

Thinking of that, Stanley sighed. Even if he could not coax her, he still needed to try his best...

"Knock, knock, knock."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

In doubt, Stanley frowned and stood up to open the door. Standing outside the door was Rebecca, who seemed to have just showered.

The tight dress was hugging her body, showing the woman's exquisite curve. The fresh smell of soap after a shower on her body, permeated into his nostrils.

Raising his eyebrows, Stanley looked at her. "Why are you here?"

Originally, Rebecca wanted to walk into the room, but Stanley stood by the door and did not budge. Not knowing if he did it on purpose, or that he had not reacted yet.

"I just want to... accompany you," Rebecca said, with a touch of shyness on her face. "We haven't been together for many years. I miss you very much."

Narrowing his eyes, Stanley questioned, "Then?"

Licking her lips, Rebecca said, "Stanley, it's cold outside. Can you let me in first?"

After staring at her for a few seconds, Stanley suddenly laughed, "It's too troublesome."

Stunned, she asked, "What's troublesome?"

"If you were to come in, you will still have to go out. It's too troublesome, to open then close the door. So if you have anything to say, you'd better just stand here and talk. After that, you can go back and have a good rest."

Looking at him in disbelief, Rebecca's entire body shook. "I've already made it so obvious.

Can't you tell by what I mean?"
