Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 241

After kissing for some time, Sharon was out of breath. Only then, Stanley let go of her.

Immediately she came out from his embrace. Her heart was pounding wildly and her breathing was unstable. She stood in the corner, far away from him, with one hand covering her mouth.

There was a space in Stanley's embrace, and it felt uncomfortable. Stretching out his hand, he said, "Come over, I need a hug."

Standing still, Sharon said, "I still have a few questions to ask you."

"Why don't you hug me while you ask?"

"... Have you caught Harvey yet?"

This was the problem that she was most worried about. If Harvey escaped this time, she was afraid that people like Harvey would retaliate harder against Stanley in the future.

"He's dead."

Stanley spat out two simple words.

Startled by his answer, Sharon repeated, "He's dead...?" "Yes."

"You... You did it?"

"I wanted to do it myself, but I could not." When he said these words, his eyes were very cold.

Before she spoke again, Sharon paused for a long while, "How did you know that he was overseas? How did you find him?"

Hearing her question, Stanley's eyes flashed. "Rebecca had been in contact with Harvey. This time, when she contacted Harvey, I had set up a trap to lure him out, so that I have a chance to subdue him."

Immediately Sharon became spirited, after hearing his words. "I knew that there was something wrong with Rebecca. That day, when I went out for dinner with her, I had eavesdropped on her calling someone in the bathroom. Now that I think of it, it must be Harvey! Yet you did not believe me and thought that I was slandering her!"

Towards the end of her sentence, Sharon looked at him with disdain. Recalling that night when she had explained the situation to him, but he insisted on standing up for Rebecca.

"You're still holding a grudge?" Stanley smiled. "I've long known that there was something wrong with Rebecca, even before you had discovered that she was weird. It's not that I don't believe in you."

Taken aback, Sharon said, "You... already knew?"

"Yes."

"How did you know?"

"I found out accidentally. I did not want to alert the enemy, so I did not tell you."

Again, Sharon was in shock. She did not think that he would already know about it. Staring at him, she thought to herself, just how many things does Stanley hide from her?

Extending his hand towards her. "Come here."

Despite that, Sharon did not move. Raising her eyes and asked, "Then what's the deal with the gunshot wound?"

Seeing that she was disobedient, Stanley was a little displeased. "First, come and sit down."

"Why?"

"Let me take a look at you, and hug you. Because I have not seen you for a long time. Don't you miss me?" His words were undisguised, he did not feel embarrassed.

Rolling her eyes, Sharon said, "No, I don't!"

Stanley frowned at her response. "You're sure you don't miss me?"

Nodding, she replied, "Yeah, I don't..."

Before she could finish her words, the man sitting on the bed was about to get down. Startled by his actions, Sharon immediately went over to hold him down. "What are you doing?"

Smoothly, Stanley held her down... Sharon was in a flurry as she tried to stop him. With her face full of embarrassment, "B*stard, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to touch your heart, and see if you're lying!"

Before his movements could stop, Sharon became anxious. "All right, stop."

"Then tell me the truth."

"Yes?"

In order to stop him from fooling around, Sharon said briefly, "I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, alright? Stop fooling around. What if someone walks in on us?"

After that, she pressed his hand tightly and changed the subject. "Your injury... Can I have a look at it?"

Not willing to let her look at these bloody things, Stanley brushed her off. "It's just a small injury. Don't look at it."

"But, I want to see it."
