Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 224

Turning around, Sharon asked, "Yes, is there anything else?"

"When we went to the hospital just now, were you looking for Stanley?" Shawn looked at her eyes. "Because you did not find him, it caused your mood to be unstable?"

All the way here, her expression was ghastly, and Shawn saw it.

Knowing that he was smart, and would definitely guess it, so Sharon did not try to hide. Instead, she nodded and said, "Yes."

Frowning, Shawn asked, "What was he doing in the hospital?"

Pressing the corners of her mouth together, Sharon did not say a word.

"Was he sick?"

"... No, it's not like that."

"I guess he was not sick, because you would have been worried about him, and not like how you're acting now." Shawn thought for a while and immediately understood. "Was he accompanying someone else in the hospital which made you uncomfortable?"

Stabbed by his words, Sharon's chest started to feel stuffy again.

Continuing on, Shawn said in a low and deep voice, "Usually, a woman's anger for a man is nothing more than the man's fault. Since you're angry, I guess that Stanley accompanied a woman in the hospital. Moreover, they have a special relationship. That's why you're so abnormal, and also quiet on the way here, right?"

Again, Sharon pressed the corners of her mouth together, the lines on her chin tensed up. He was right, not a single word was wrong.

Seeing her reaction, Shawn frowned deeper. "Sharon, I have one more question. I want to ask you."

"If you want to know why Stanley was in the ward with that woman, I'm sorry, but I don't know either..."

"That's not the question."

"What was it then?"

Staring straight into her eyes, almost as if Shawn wanted to look deep into her soul. "Why did you marry Stanley in the first place?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

This question was asked by Shawn previously, but Sharon did not give him an answer. She did not expect that he would ask again.

Opening her mouth, Sharon wanted to say something, but Shawn was ahead of her and said, "You said that you married Stanley because of money. At that time, I just found you, and when I heard those words, I was furious... These days, after I had carefully thought about what you said. It was because of your father's medical expenses, so you married Stanley, right?"

"... Yes!" Sharon did not hide anything from him, she just nodded.

Laughing, Shawn said, "Now, did you ever thought of why Stanley wanted to marry you?"

"He needed a wife..."

"He needed a wife, and it so happens that he met you, and then paid for all your father's medical expenses?" Shawn stared straight at her. "Was that what you wanted to say?"

Indeed, that was what Sharon wanted to say.

But for some reason, when she looked into Shawn's eyes, her heart was a little flustered.

"And you believe in that?" Shawn said slowly, "You believe that Stanley needed a wife, and happened to meet you, even kind enough to save you from your troubles? Sharon, do you believe in these coincidences? These excuses?"

Word by word, Shawn's words cut through the problems in her heart like a sharp blade.

Causing Sharon to breathe rapidly. Biting her lips, she asked, "What do you mean?"

Though she had thought about these questions before, at that time, she did not care. So, she did not take it to heart. Now... Sharon did not want to go deeper...

"I don't mean anything, but I just want to tell you that man, especially shrewd men like Stanley; they have their own plans and preparations for everything they do. I don't believe that he would just run into you by accident, and coincidentally needs a wife."

Hearing that, Sharon's heart was in a panic, but she pretended to stay calm on the surface, "In this world, a lot of things are coincidental."

For example, Rebecca, Sharon thought that she was dead, seven years ago. But after seven years, she came back to life again.

A lot of times, the seemingly reasonable thing was not necessarily logical. Something that was unreasonable, was maybe too, reasonable.

For example, her marriage to Stanley. How could there be so many coincidences? Perhaps it was precise because Stanley wanted to get married, and needed a wife in which he decided to marry her.

Yes, it must be like that.

In her heart, Sharon was certain.

"Well, I'm done talking with you. The air in the car is getting thinner, and I'm out of breath. You can go back now." Sharon hurriedly pushed open the car door, and went out. After taking a few deep breaths, she slowly recovered.

At that moment, Shawn's deep and sharp eyes were fixed on the woman outside the window. With one hand gripping the steering wheel, blue veins popped on the back of his hand. Only when he saw Sharon walking far away did he withdraw his gaze.

Shawn closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his jaws were slightly throbbing.

After a long time, he opened his eyes. Then, found a number, and dialed it.

When Liam received Shawn's call, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Strange. Calling me out of the blue?"

"I want to ask you something."

"I don't necessarily know the answer."

"Why did Stanley marry Sharon a year ago?"

"I really don't know." Liam narrowed his eyes. "He definitely was in need of a wife. There were no other reasons to that."

Pondering for a moment, Shawn then said, "The deal we spoke of last time is still valid. Whatever you want to do, I'll support you. Whether it's money, connections, or other things, as long as you want, I can provide. However, the condition is that Liam, you have to be sincere."

Raising an eyebrow, Liam asked, "What do you mean by 'sincere'?"

"Tell me Stanley's intention of marrying Sharon!"

"You're so insistent that Stanley wants to marry Sharon with an aim? What if he really needs a wife like Sharon?"

Hearing that, Shawn laughed. "You and I are both men. To be straight, men with particularly high status, do we simply marry a woman?"

Liam fell silent. Shawn was not wrong.

There was definitely something wrong when Stanley wanted to marry Sharon. Never mind Stanley, even an ordinary person wouldn't be able to marry a woman so easily...

"We still have a trading relationship, and I'm very happy to cooperate with you. However, I really don't know what you're talking about," Liam said slowly. "If you have the patience, you can wait for the answer after I've checked it out."

The other end of the phone fell silent.

After a long time, Shawn's voice rang out.

"Remember what you're saying."

"Of course."

When Shawn was about to hang up the phone, Liam's voice came through, "Wait a minute."

Shawn raised his eyebrows.

"I'm looking forward to our cooperation. In order to show my sincerity, let me tell you a piece of special news beforehand."

However, Shawn did not seem to be very interested. "You don't need to tell me irrelevant information..."

"Of course it's important." Liam interrupted him. His words were profound and mysterious. "Didn't you want to get back with Sharon? This news of mine will give Sharon and Stanley's relationship a heavy blow."

"Oh?" Shawn's interest was piqued. "What is it then?"

The corners of Liam's mouth curled up, and slowly spat out a sentence, "Currently, Stanley is not in the country. His had gone overseas with Rebecca, and the reason why is that..." As Liam finished speaking, Shawn's eyes flashed, and a strange smile spread from the corner of his mouth.
