Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 168

These two guys were too much!

Weren't they afraid that she would expose their lies?

"Oh, so that's when you learned how to cook." Stanley swept his gaze at her. He was smiling, but the coldness in his eyes was creepy.

Sharon shivered.

She was innocent.

This time, she finally figured out what was going on. These two childish guys seemed to be normal on the outside, but they were competing under the table.

It was obvious that they were having a war between them. She didn't want to get involved in this feud, so she lowered her head and started eating.

But she was very full now!

She had eaten a heavy brunch and they were eating again now. She couldn't eat anymore.

The two men sitting next to each other began to chat again, just like good friends, as if nothing had happened.

"You've been in Beachmarsh for some time. How long are you planning to stay here?"

Stanley asked.

Shawn looked at Sharon with his deep glances and answered, "I'll go back when I complete my mission and found my treasure."

Sharon was astounded when she heard the obvious meaning in Shawn's remark.

Shawn was still having the same thoughts. He didn't care if Sharon had married Stanley. He would not give up.

She lowered her head and stared at the food on the plate, a little lost in her thoughts.

Stanley's cold voice resonated, pulling back her senses, "Shawn, have you heard that? Sometimes, somethings happened and it will never return to the old self! Let bygone be bygone!"

Shawn looked up at him and said, "I believe that sincerity is the key to success."

Stanley smiled and said, "Only those who don't have self- confidence will lie to themselves with such hollow and vain statements. Since we're friends, let me give you a piece of advice. You should move on and don't force yourself into doing the impossible!"

Shawn's eyes sank. "What if I don't want to move on!"

Stanley narrowed his phoenix eyes slowly, and there was something flashing in the depths of his eyes. He sneered and said nothing.

Suddenly, he turned his head and fixed his eyes on Sharon for two seconds. Then he lifted her face, picked up the napkin on the table, and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"How can you be so sloppy in eating? Are you a kid?"

As he spoke, he wiped her mouth gently.

Embarrassed and shy, Sharon muttered, "What? I don't have food on my face. Don't tarnish my reputation..."

Stanley raised his hand and tapped her forehead gently. "I don't have to do that. I don't want you to embarrass yourself!"

Sharon was speechless. "You hit me again. Why do you always like hitting me? I wonder how does Anthony survive after working under you for so many years."

"Because he's not as stupid as you are!"

"Hey, that's a personal attack. I can sue you."

"Do you want me to hire a lawyer for you?"

Sharon squinted at him.

Fine, you win!

Sharon couldn't defeat him, so she turned her head away angrily.

As soon as she looked up, she met Shawn's eyes. He was looking at her calmly and quietly without any emotional turbulence.

Shawn pursed his lips. There was an unspeakable emotion swelling in his chest, which was almost exploding inside him.

He held the spoon tightly in his hand, and the handle of the spoon stabbed into his wound on his palm, drenching the gauze with blood.

He could only watch helplessly as Sharon flirted with other men, but he could not stop them. This feeling was worse than killing him.

Shawn knew that Stanley did this on purpose to provoke him. It would not do him any good if he erupted now.

He took a deep breath and calmed down, but as he glanced at them again, he saw the red marks on Sharon's skin. Suddenly, a terrible storm was brewing in his eyes.

He could not control his emotions any longer.

With a loud thud, Shawn threw the spoon on the table.

The commotion scared Sharon. "What's the matter?"

Shawn stood up from the chair. "Sharon, I want to talk to you alone!"

He wanted to talk to her in front of Stanley?

No way!

She didn't want to die under his wrath of fury!

Just as she was about to shake her head like a rattle drum, the man sitting beside her suddenly said, "Go and talk to him."

Sharon widened her eyes in disbelief.

Was she hallucinating?

How could Stanley let her talk to Shawn on his own accord?

He didn't like her to be alone with Shawn, did he?

As if he could read her mind, Stanley raised his head and looked at her with a smile on his handsome face. "It's good to make things clear. Go and talk. There's an empty seat over there where you can talk in private. I'll be here waiting for you."

No matter how she looked at it, he didn't look like he was lying.

Sharon swallowed. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You won't go back on your words, right?"

"No."

Sharon squinted skeptically.

How did he suddenly become so considerate?

Stanley smiled gently and said, "Go on."

Sharon was sure that she wanted to have a good talk with Shawn. She pursed her lips as she looked at him, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him."

After that, she put down the utensils in her hand and followed Shawn.

Sharon really needed to have a good talk with Shawn.

As soon as they left, Stanley's expression completely gloomed. He was not being generous, but he knew how to control everything.

Instead of letting them meet in private, it was better to let them make things clear in front of him.

He knew Shawn. Shawn was very meticulous and discreet, and he would not change his mind that easily. He did the series of actions earlier deliberately to show Shawn that Sharon was his now.

Shawn was so smart that it was impossible that he couldn't see through it.

As for the reason why he suddenly got angry just now, was it because he couldn't hold back his emotions when he saw the hickeys on Sharon's body?

It seemed that he made the right decision by buying her the dress.

Stanley smiled slowly and looked over there indifferently.

Sharon and Shawn came to the corner. When she was about to speak, Shawn said, "Sharon, come with me!"

He revealed his purpose directly in front of her.

Sharon was astounded and then looked down. "Where are we going?"

"Anywhere as long as you can leave Beachmarsh City." Shawn looked at her with keen eyes. "Let's go to Cresthill. Let's go to my hometown! I'll show you where I grew up!"

Back when Sharon was in high school, she had asked him where his hometown was and what kind of woman his mother was...

However, these were all things that had happened in the past.

Sharon looked up at him. "I won't leave Beachmarsh, nor will I go with you."

Although her tone was indifferent, it was firm and resolute.

The storm in Shawn's eyes was getting bigger and bigger. "Why?"

"My home is here. My father, my school, and my life is all here. How can I leave with you?"

The most important thing was that Stanley was here.

This thought suddenly came to Sharon's mind.

But she didn't say it out loud.
