Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 253

The next morning, Sharon got up quite late, but she was still sleepy. With her eyes closed, she reached out to touch the other side of the bed, but it was empty.

Hmm?

When she opened her eyes, as expected no one was there.

Was it because Stanley did not sleep all night? Or was it because he had already gotten up for work?

Sharon found an answer after she had cleaned herself, and went to the study. Sure enough, Stanley had already started work. He had a change of clothes and seemed to be in good spirits. Wearing a suit and tie, he appeared stern and serious.

Since she had disrupted him last night, and caused him to lose focus on his work, therefore, Sharon no longer dared to disturb him today. She quietly went downstairs.

Breakfast had already been prepared by Hazel. She had prepared a feast of nutritional dishes and placed them in front of Sharon. "Please have some, Mrs. Jones, having a balanced diet is very important.."

Sharon was starving, so she did not hold back. After saying thank you, she dug in.

Not long after, Stanley also came downstairs. Seeing how Sharon was gobbling down her food, he walked over and pinched her bulging cheeks. "Slow down, no one's taking your food away."

Hearing that, Sharon pointed at herself. "The baby... Is taking it from me!" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Stanley did not know what to say.

Now that she was pregnant, her appetite had grown so much. The unborn baby must be a foodie.

He looked at the woman whose table manners were not the most elegant, but somehow the way she enjoyed her meal improved his appetite.

It turned out that it could be so interesting to watch a person eat. The corner of his mouth was slightly lifted.

Sharon had her eyes set on a strawberry and was about to eat it when Stanley stepped forward and picked it up. He then threw it into his mouth. Stunned for a moment, Sharon was furious! How dare he snatch her food from her!

Did he think that she wouldn't snatch his food?

Marking her sharp eyes on Stanley's breakfast, Sharon quickly picked up his food. Unfortunately, Stanley's movement was faster than hers. With a simple block, he was able to stop her from snatching his food.

This action made Sharon enraged that she cried out loudly.

Seeing that, Stanley was delighted.

In the kitchen, Hazel looked over at the dining table and shook her head with a smile. They were just like children.

After breakfast, Stanley went to work. Sharon could understand that with such a big company, they needed him to be there to handle and manage a lot of stuff.

At noon, as soon as the meeting was over, Stanley came out with a report. Immediately, Secretary Yang went over and said, "Mr. Jones."

Stopping in his tracks, Stanley asked with his eyebrows tilted, "What's the matter?"

"Half an hour ago, Miss Lambert came and asked to see you. I did say that without an appointment she was unable to see you. But, she still insisted, so she's waiting in the reception room."

Just as Secretary Yang finished his words, he saw Stanley's face become sullen.

Seeing that, secretary Yang thought to himself, "I'm dead meat. I'm sure she's just another woman who was in love with Mr. Jones. It's making him unhappy."

Pulling his tie, Stanley handed over the report in his hand. "She's in the reception room?"

At once, the secretary took over the document and nodded. "Yes."

Then Stanley strode over and Secretary Yang heaved a sigh of relief.

Pushing open the door of the reception room, Stanley saw Rebecca sitting inside, accompanied by a six-year-old boy.

How dare she brought this child into the company to find him!

Stanley's face sank. He closed the door and walked over. "Rebecca."

Hearing his voice, Rebecca turned her head with a smile. "They said you were having a meeting and told me not to wait, but I insisted on staying. I hope I did not bother you."

Raising his wrist, Stanley looked at the time. Instead of answering, he asked, "It's noon. Have you guys eaten yet?"

With that, Rebecca took her son's hand and said, "No, Nathan was just saying that he was hungry..."

"Then, let's have lunch together." Stanley loosened his tie and led the way out.

Smiling slowly, Rebecca said, "Nathan, Daddy is going to take us for lunch."

Stanley, who was walking forward, heard these words and paused his steps. In the end, he did not say a word, and stood at the elevator waiting for them.

However, Nathan looked a little reluctant. Noticing that her son was a little unhappy, she squatted down and caressed his face. "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure this is daddy?" Nathan asked as he stood in place while looking at Stanley's back.

Touching his face, Rebecca said, "Yes, daddy is inviting us to lunch. Are you happy that you get to speak with him?"

To that, Nathan puckered his mouth. "I don't like him!"

Baffled by his response, Rebecca asked, "Um... Why?"

"He doesn't like mommy..." Nathan pulled Rebecca's clothes. "Mommy, I don't think daddy likes you."

A child's heart was sensitive and fragile, and they had a strong intuition.

Hearing this, Rebecca was again stunned. Her expression was like a broken porcelain bowl with thin lines on it, and her lips were trembling, "Nathan, what are you talking about? How could daddy dislike mommy? That's just the way daddy usually is. After getting to know him, you'll understand... Come on, don't make daddy wait for you."

After finishing her words, Rebecca dragged Nathan out by force and came to Stanley's side. Her heart was still in turmoil because of Nathan's words, and because of that she unintentionally exerted

too much strength and Nathan cried out, "Mommy, it hurts!"

Glancing at them with a frown, Stanley reminded, "You're hurting him."

Realizing that, Rebecca quickly let go of Nathan's hand. "I'm sorry, baby. I've hurt you, haven't I?"

Nathan glanced at Stanley, then retracted his gaze and shook his head. "No..."

This was a theme restaurant where both adults and children were allowed. After the children had finished eating, they could enter the children's park to play, and there would be special caretakers to take care of them.

The table was full of dishes. Stanley seemed to want to order more, but Rebecca immediately stopped him and said, "It's enough for the three of us, stop ordering!"

"Then that's all for now." Closing the menu, Stanley threw it aside. "Well, you guys can dig in, don't worry about me."

While Rebecca took some food for Nathan, she asked Stanley, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Well, I had a late breakfast because Sharon woke up late this morning, and so did I.

The hand that Rebecca was using to feed Nathan went stiff, and her expression froze. After a long while, she slowly came to her senses, but the hand holding the chopsticks was still shaky.

The meal was exceptionally quiet.

Half an hour later, after the meal, Rebecca looked at the leftover food on the table. "Stanley, are you sure you don't want some?"

In reply, Stanley shook his head. "Have you guys finished eating?"

"Yes."

"Alright then." After Stanley called the caretaker over, he instructed him to bring Nathan for a stroll.

Rebecca did not understand what he meant. Suspiciously, she asked, "What's wrong, Stanley?"

"I have something to tell you, and it's not convenient with Nathan around."

Rebecca nodded. "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Squinting at her, Stanley furrowed his brow. "You've brought Nathan to see Sharon?"

Unexpectedly, he was actually questioning this matter. Rebecca pursed her lips and admitted generously, "Yes, on that day I actually wanted to bring Nathan to meet you, but we accidentally met Miss Cruz."

"So you told her that Nathan is my son?"

"Nathan is your son. That's a fact. She would have found out anyway. So, since we met that day, I have nothing to hide."

Looking at her blankly, Stanley asked, "Who said Nathan's my son?"
