Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 32

Sharon said a lot of things, all of which were bitter words. Stanley stood there for as long as she spoke.

After a long time, she seemed to be tired. She tilted her head, let go of her hands, and shrank to the side to sleep.

Stanley watched the scene, dumbfounded.

He looked down at the woman, and there was something flashing in his dark eyes.

A moment later, he turned around and went out of the bathroom.

Stanley came to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

Looking at the dark night, he seemed to be lost in his memory. The reason why he married Sharon was that she was the most suitable candidate, and he would need a wife since he reached the marriageable age.

A year ago, he found her cramped in a shared basement, dirty, dark, and damp. She was so scrawny and fragile that it was pitiful to look at.

He told her that he would save her father and ask for her hands. Sharon did not hesitate at that time and immediately nodded in agreement.

Throughout their first year of marriage, she was very sensible, obedient, and didn't give him any trouble.

Till now, he was very satisfied with her.

But he didn't love her, and wouldn't love her in the future.

He didn't even have feelings for her, but tonight... when she hugged him and cried, he felt a strange feeling stirring in his heart.

He seemed to fall deep in his memory until his fingers felt a burning sensation that he suddenly came back to his senses.

The cigarette had burned out and scalded his fingers.

He frowned and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He turned back and opened the bathroom door to take a look. He was stunned.

Where was she?

There were only ripples of the water in the empty bathtub. There was no one in sight.

He only moved away for a few minutes and she disappeared.

He was just praising her for being a good girl and not letting him worry about her, but what a quick slap in the face!

His lips twitched, and he began to search along the water trail.

He came all the way to the bedroom, and the water stains disappeared.

There was no one on the bed.

Did she disappear out of thin air?

Stanley raised his eyebrows and seemed to think of something. He lowered his body and looked under the bed.

Sure enough, she was lying on her stomach under the bed, clutching something in her arms as if she was holding a treasure.

Stanley frowned and looked at her under the bed. "What are you doing?"

Sharon ignored him.

"Come out!"

Stanley reached out to pull her.

"Mine!"

Sharon suddenly glared at him fiercely as if she was announcing her sovereignty, for fear that he would take the box away from her.

Stanley squinted at her in annoyance. "I don't want your stupid thing. Now come out!"

"You're stupid!" Sharon began to resist, pointing at his nose and humming, "This is a treasure, not a stupid thing. You're a stupid thing!"

Treasure?

Stanley raised his eyebrows and was intrigued by the box in her arms. "Oh, what treasure is it? Let me see."

Hearing this, Sharon thought that he was going to snatch it. She was immediately agitated and glared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes. "Get lost! Don't touch it!"

What! Did! She! Just! Say?!

Did she ask him to get lost?

Stanley laughed coldly, sounding eerily creepy. No one had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone in his life.

How could he, a grown-up man, not subdue a young girl?
