Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 819

Elaine and Howard were left alone in the living room.

Glancing at the Go board, Howard picked up the stones with his slender fingers. So how have you and grandfather getting along for the past few days?"

"Not bad." Elaine smiled and said, "Grandpa is very kind, and he likes to play with young people like us. I don't feel awkward being around him at all."

"Grandpa had been alone for a long time, so he is very happy that someone can keep him company."

"Where's your grandmother?" asked Elaine curiously.

"She... passed away when I was young." Howard remained an indifferent expression. "So did my parents. I have no recollection of them at all. I only saw them through some family photos."

Scratching her head, Elaine said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to touch your sore spot."

"It's all right. It's all in the past anyway. I no longer feel sad talking about them anymore."

Suddenly, Vincent flashed across Elaine's mind. She asked, "You and Vincent, are you guys..."

"No." Howard interrupted her. "We're not related. I am the only son in the Perkins Family."

Seeing that Howard was a bit reluctant to bring that topic up, Elaine stopped talking about it.

But how could two people who looked exactly the same have no relation to each other?

They continued to play Go for a while, but Elaine noticed that Howard was not focusing on the game.

He kept spacing out and seemed to be in deep thoughts. It was only until he heard Elaine's voice that he came back to his senses.

"Dr. Perkins..."

Hesitating, Elaine asked, "Dr. Perkins, do you have something on your mind?"

Putting down the stone in his hand, Howard pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

Elaine did not believe him.

However, Howard pulled her up and said, "Let's go. Dinner should be ready now. Let's go eat."

In response, Elaine hummed.

At the dinner table.

Even Ronan noticed the strange look on Howard's face. Staring at his grandson for a while, he put down the cutleries in his hand. "Howard, you don't look well. Did something happen?"

Upon hearing that question, Howard was surprised. "Do I look unwell?"

"Yes, tell me what happened."

Casting a glance at Elaine, Howard muttered to himself, "I think I shouldn't think of you too much tonight. Otherwise, you keep appearing in my dreams. I'll look terrible when I wake up tomorrow morning."

Elain was left speechless.

Everyone at the table was embarrassed after hearing Howard's words.

Especially Ronan, his face was flushed red. "You sure like to talk nonsense, don't you? Come on, Elaine, let's eat our food and ignore him."

"Alright."

Hurriedly, she lowered her head and munched on her food.

After the meal, Elaine helped the maids to clean up the table. Ronan was reading the newspaper in the living room. She looked around but did not see Howard.

After washing her hands, she went to find Howard.

However, he was nowhere to be seen. Looking at her walking back and forth, Ronan asked curiously, "Elaine, are you looking for something? If you need something, you can tell Maya."

"Grandpa, I'm not looking for anything. I just want to walk around for a bit."

Touching her belly, she said, "I'm very full."

Ronan said with a smile, "You can go take a walk with Howard if you're full. Don't worry. The yard is very quiet and peaceful at night, so both of you can enjoy yourselves. I think Howard is outside. You can go and take a look."

"Alright."
