Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 756

Elaine fidgetted nervously in the eerily quiet room.

Meanwhile, Howard had been staring at her quietly. She couldn't understand the look in his eyes, but it made her uncomfortable.

His sharp glare made her feel like she was a slice of lifeless meat on the chopping board waiting to be chomped.

After a long time, Howard finally said, "Come here."

Looking up at him in confusion, she asked, "Why?"

"Come."

His voice was hoarse and low which was a little different from usual. His eyes were also extraordinarily deep that made her feel uneasy.

Thus, she didn't dare to do anything else but sit still. "Dr. Perkins, what do you want?"

Snorting, Howard put down the glass in his hand and suddenly leaned over and pressed her against the sofa.

Shocked, Elaine opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out of it. She didn't dare to as they were at a hotel and she didn't want to attract unwanted attention.

As Howard slowly stretched out his hand to her, she opened her eyes wide.

Keeping her guard up, she thought that if he laid his hand on her again like he did last night, she would bite him!

His hand stopped on her face.

She opened her mouth, revealing her white teeth.

With a hint of delight in his eyes, he tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and teased, "Look at you, silly. You even have hair in your mouth."

After that, he sat back.

Elaine shrunk back into the sofa.

Her face turned bright red as if someone smeared red paint on her face.

"What do you think I'm gonna do to you?" Howard smirked.

She was already embarrassed knowing that she had misunderstood him, and his straightforward tease made her shyer. "Why do you come? If there's nothing else, can you go back to your room, please? I want to sleep!"

Because of her embarrassment and anxiety, she took her stand in a charismatic manner.

However, Howard sat still, staring at her intensely.

His stare made her so uncomfortable that she involuntarily pulled the collar of her shirt.

Howard's gaze suddenly deepened. "Sharon said that you're not feeling well."

"I'm fine."

"Why did she say that your face was very red just now?"

Oh god...

It was because she was having some strange thoughts that made her blush, but she was fine now.

Surprised that he was here out of concern, she paused for a moment before saying, "It was a little hot outside, but it's okay now."

Hearing that, Howard nodded. "Tell me if you don't feel well. Remember, I'm a doctor."

This was the modest and professional Dr. Howard Perkins that she knew.

Warmth spread inside her as she knew that someone was looking out for her. "Okay, Dr. Perkins."

She was not as alert as earlier and the gaze in her eyes became gentler, which made Howard feeling at ease too.

He asked in a low voice, "Why did you hide from me this morning? Why did you give me a cold shoulder? You didn't talk to me, and you didn't even cook breakfast for me."

"Uh?"

It never occurred to Elaine that he would ask her these all of a sudden.

Last night, Howard suddenly approached her in an impolite manner that scared her to tears.

Although he stopped what he was going, he threatened her fiercely and warned her not to say anything about it as if it had never happened...
