Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 806

Judging by the look on Dr. Perkins's face, Elaine could see that he was being serious.

She pursed her lips and said slowly, "Alright."

Howard was waiting for her explanation.

"I met someone who looked exactly the same as you the other day." Saying that, she studied his expression, but he didn't look surprised at all, so she asked, "Aren't you curious?"

Howard glanced at her, but said nothing. He only took out a pack of cigarettes and wanted to light one of them. But then, he asked, "May I?"

"Sure."

Lighting the cig, he took a long drag on it before signaling, "Go on."

"I thought that man was you and I let him in your house..." Elaine bit her lips and apologize, "I'm sorry. I'm quite dumb, ain't I? You two are so different, yet I couldn't tell that it wasn't you."

Hearing that, Howard asked, "So you've been staying with him for the past couple of days?"

Instinctively, she looked away from him.

Seeing her avoiding his gaze, Howard felt a wave of anger flared up in his heart. "D*mn it, what's that lunatic staying with you for?" "Dr. Perkins..." Elaine was a little frightened by his response.

"Sorry. Did I scare you?" Howard took a deep breath.

However, she shook her head.

"Did that man try to harm you?"

Mr. Bradbury was a patient at the psychiatric hospital, so naturally, Howard was worried about her.

"No." Staring at her own toes, she answered a while later.

Finally, Howard was relieved. "Thank goodness."

"Dr. Perkins, are you hungry now? I can make you something to eat." Just then, Elaine got up and went to the kitchen.

"Oh. I'm not hungry. Just go rest."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm not hungry. Go and take a nap. Later in the evening, I'll take you out for dinner."

"Oh."

Indeed, Elaine was very exhausted, so she headed to her bedroom. Before opening the door, she stopped and turned back to gaze at Howard, wanting to say something.

But eventually, she said nothing and went into her bedroom.

After Elaine entered her bedroom, Howard got up and went to the balcony.

With the breeze blowing onto his face, he smoked in silence.

The cigs were lighted one after another.

Later, having enough sleep, Elaine came out of her bedroom and saw Howard standing on the balcony.

"Dr. Perkins?"

She called out.

Quickly, Howard put off the cig in the ashtray. "Oh, hey. You've gotten enough sleep?"

"Yeah." Walking over, she noticed there were cigarette ashes on the floor and she wondered why he smoked so much.

"You must be hungry." Howard smiled. "I'm gonna wash up, and then well head out for dinner."

"Ah, that's gonna cost a lot. Why don't we get some groceries and cook at home-"

"Nah, let's just go out to eat," Howard insisted.

"Alright."

With a smile, Howard rubbed her head lightly.

Before going for dinner, Howard took Elaine to a shopping mall.

"What are we doing here?" Elaine was puzzled.

"To buy you some clothes."

"Why?"

"Because today is our first date, so I want you to dress up pretty." Howard cleared his throat. "So, do you wanna shop for clothes first, or have your make-up done first?"

"Uh..."

"Well, I think it's better to have your make-up done first. Then well buy you some clothes and perhaps have your hair done if we have time."

Quickly, Elaine refused, "No need, Dr. Perkins. It's just a regular meal. I don't wanna trouble you."
