Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 53

Sharon was stunned at first, and then blurted, "I don't love him!"

She regretted it the moment she said it out loud for expressing her inner thoughts so honestly. This man was Stanley's good buddy. What if he told Stanley about it?

Thinking of this, she quickly explained, "Dr. Perkins, I mean, I don't know much about him..."

"You don't have to explain. I understand. I totally do!"

Howard interrupted her with a smile, "It's great that you don't love him. Miss Cruz, let me tell you, Stanley doesn't deserve your love. If you fall in love with him, you will be sad in the future!"

Sharon frowned rather awkwardly. "Thank you for your advice, Dr. Perkins. I won't fall in love with him."

Hearing what she said, Howard was a little curious. "Stanley is very excellent in all aspects. You have been with him for quite some time now, don't you have any feelings for him?"

Sharon shook her head. "No."

Howard curled his lips and said, "I don't believe you."

"Dr. Perkins, if you were me, would you fall in love with a man who had a hidden agenda to marry you from the beginning?"

Howard was stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and squinted at Sharon.

He didn't expect that she would find out that Stanley had ulterior motives in marrying her.

Sharon got goosebumps from his intense gaze. "D- Dr. Perkins, did I say anything wrong?"

"Do you know why Stanley married you?" Howard thought for a while and asked.

Sharon nodded and said, "I think I know."

When she first married him, she was too lazy to think about these questions, but then something happened that made her start to ponder it.

"You think?"

"He married me because he wanted to protect... Jewel, I guess." This was Sharon's outcome from her consideration.

Howard was stunned. "What does it have to do with Jewel?" "Jewel is at the peak of her career now. If her relationship with Stanley is exposed, her career will be affected more or less. So I guess that's why he married me, to protect Jewel."

Howard was amused. Was something wrong with her intelligence? How could she come up with such an illogical explanation?

However, it was also good for her to be a little dull. At least, it proved that she was not a scheming person, and she would not plot against others behind her back.

After checking her body and made sure that she was fine, Howard gave her some ointment. Sharon took the bill and thanked him. Then she got up and went out.

Howard stared at Sharon's back and blurted before she left the room, "Think, Sharon. If Stanley is in love with Jewel, why would he marry you?"

Howard didn't speak for Stanley, but he couldn't bear to see Sharon so stupid, so he gave her a piece of his advice. "When a man loves a woman, he will not hurt her in any way. If Stanley loves Jewel, Jewel will be the first one he hurt by marrying you."

Sharon looked at him in a daze. She couldn't keep up with the information he gave.

What did he mean?

Was he trying to tell her that Stanley didn't love Jewel?

But...

What about the news on TV the other day? What about the intimate moment they shared in the restroom at the bar that she saw with her own eyes? Jewel also said to her face that she had been with Stanley for many years, and the relationship they shared was extraordinary.

"Well, Miss Cruz, you can leave now. I'm a little busy now. There are patients waiting outside."

"Okay."

Sharon pushed the door open and went out in a daze.

She didn't come to her senses until she returned to the ward and saw the tall man leaning against the wall.

She was quite a single- minded person. Whenever she could not figure out what was going on, she would immediately skip it to avoid her brain from being overloaded.

Stanley, who was standing by the wall, saw her. His dark eyes fell on her and he looked at her without blinking.

Sharon's heart fluttered when she was caught by his hot eyes.
