Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 414

When Sharon was almost done playing with the children, Mario reminded her, "Miss Cruz, it's time. We should head back."

Even though she was reluctant to leave, Sharon still replied convincingly, "Okay, let's go then." Just as she was about to leave, she saw something from the corner of her eye. Pointing at a small vendor in a distance, she suddenly asked, "Are they selling coconut water?"

"Yes, coconuts are popular in our country, so you can see these little merchants everywhere. Would you like some coconut water, Miss Cruz?"

Sharon licked her lips. "Would that be okay?"

With laughter, Mario said, "Why wouldn't it be okay? Miss Cruz, please wait here. I'll buy you one."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Right after saying that, he turned around and walked towards the small vendors in the distance. Without any hesitation, Sharon used all her strength to roll her wheelchair towards the shops across the street.

However, there was a lot of traffic on the road. Sharon gritted her teeth and risked her life to find an opportunity to rush across the street. The sounds of vuvuzelas honking and tires screeching rang one after another.

Sharon felt that she was lucky enough to safely sift through the stream of carriages to the other side of the street.

Prior to this, she learned a little bit of the local language from Mario, and her vocabulary was definitely good enough for her to borrow a phone from the shopkeeper. At once she asked, "Can you lend me your phone? Please, I will pay you some money. I want to make a phone call, please."

The owner of the shop was a 40-year-old woman. She looked at Sharon for a while and nodded with hesitation.

Excited, Sharon was about to burst into tears. "Thank you..."

As soon as Mario arrived in front of the small vendor, he heard a voice from behind him. The vendor pointed behind him and let out a loud cry. "That woman must be crazy!"

When Mario turned to take a look, he was so frightened that his heart nearly jumped out of his chest as he shouted, "Miss Cruz!" Dropping the coconut juice, he ran towards her frantically with a ghastly look on his face. Sharon wanted to cross over to the other side so bad that she was even risking her life. No matter how difficult it was, it did not seem to stop her.

Mario was in a daze as he looked at Sharon, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

As soon as Sharon got the phone, she immediately dialed the familiar number, and tears almost fell from her eyes.

"Beep beep beep..."

There was a long busy tone and a long waiting period.

She was trembling all over, excited and overwhelmed. She kept mumbling, "Pick up the phone, quick, pick up the phone..."

In the next second, Sharon felt someone exert strength on her wrist and her heart sank.

She knew that she was finished. If she missed out on this opportunity, then she probably would not have another chance like this in the future.

Despite not knowing whether the phone was connected, she shouted to the other end of the phone, "Stanley, come and save me!"

As soon as she finished saying those words, the phone was snatched away from her hand, and the phone was hung up.

She looked up in a daze, only to see that Shawn had a faint smile across his face, but it was obvious his eyes harbored anger.

Sharon felt like she had failed. Her body stiffened.

At the same time, Shawn was also staring at her.

The two kept staring at each other. Sharon's body was so tensed up when she saw the rage in Shawn's eyes; she felt that she might die in the next second.

However, Shawn laughed and said, "You are really naughty. I haven't seen you for just a few days, but you managed to coax Mario to give in to your wishes."

With a blank expression, Sharon looked at him.
