Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 271

Howard was shocked by Stanley's appearance. As he thought that something major happened, but he was too scared to ask. Therefore, all he could do was to drink with him.

After drinking one cup after another, Stanley, who was sitting next to him, continued to drink silently. Finally, Howard could not stand it any longer. "Stanley, what exactly happened? Don't keep me hanging. Please tell me something, please?"

With one hand on his forehead, Stanley leaned back, and the eyelashes on his closed eyes trembled. After some time, he said bitterly, "Remember when you told me that I should not fall for Sharon. If I listened to you and suppressed the emotions in my heart, I wonder whether it will be better now."

Stanley's words frightened Howard, which made his heart even more flustered. "Come on. What happened? Does Sharon want to divorce you?"

Stanley did not answer. Instead, he muttered, "I don't want her to be hurt, but I'm the one who's hurting her the most. If I don't divorce her, then she'll divorce me after knowing the truth..."

It was only then, Howard realized how serious the matter was. Then, he sat up straight and said, "What exactly is going on, Stanley? Tell me. I might be able to help you solve it."

"No one can resolve this." Stanley drank another mouthful of alcohol. "Shawn found out about the purpose I married Sharon, and he wants me to divorce her."

"What?" Hearing this, Howard frowned. "Why is that guy so shameless?"

Pausing for a moment, Howard looked at the pain in the depths of Stanley's eyes, and his heart jolted. "You... you aren't really going to divorce Sharon, right?"

Stanley's eyes drooped, and the knuckles of his hand holding the wine glass turned white.

"He's just trying to break your relationship with Sharon, and his intentions are disgraceful. Don't fall for his trap! Sharon loves you, and I'm sure she'll choose to forgive you..."

"If it was you, would you be able to forgive me?" Before Howard could finish his sentence, Stanley interrupted. "Would you?"

The question made Howard purse his lips and he fell silent.

All this time, Howard had been involved in the task of finding the right organs for Ember, as well as Sharon's father's physical examination.

Definitely, he was well aware that the reason Stanley married Sharon was to compensate her.

"Why do you want to marry that girl?" A year ago, that was what Howard had asked Stanley.

At that time, Stanley's face was expressionless. "If her father proves to be helpful, then the position of Mrs. Jones would only be a form of compensation for her."

That was Sharon's real purpose in this marriage.

Also, Howard knew about Ember's return. He pursed his lips and asked, "What are you going to do about your mom? You need to use the organs from Sharon's father to save her..."

"She refused the treatment." Stanley interrupted him.

Howard was taken aback. "She doesn't want to go on with the surgery?"

Stanley nodded. "Yes."

"And... You've you agreed?"

"I don't want to hurt Sharon. If I take the organ of her father to save my mom, Sharon would be hurt.'

Stanley had a very close relationship with his mother. So the fact that his mother gave up her treatment was even more painful than killing him.

All of this made Howard's heart filled with shock. He had not expected that Stanley would give up his mother for the sake of Sharon.

"Does Sharon know that you're so considerate towards her?" Howard's lips tugged into a wry smile. "On one side is your wife, and the other side is your mom. I can't imagine the suffering that you're going through."

Stanley drank silently, as if he did not care about his own life.

In the Villa.

Sharon came out of the shower and looked at the time. It was almost 10 p.m., and Stanley had not returned yet.

Sitting on the bed, Sharon sighed as she thought of how Stanley must have been super upset recently. His mother was sick, and he had so much to do at work. What strong psychological endurance he must need so that he would not collapse.
