Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 742

Sharon opened her eyes and found that Stanley had been holding her hand tightly. She then called him in a hoarse voice, "Honey..."

Instantly, Stanley noticed that she had woken up and felt relieved.

Stroking her belly which was now flat, she licked her lips and asked, "Where's the baby?"

"Here." Stanley stood up and Sharon looked behind him. On the other bed, the baby was quietly sleeping.

Seeing her child, Sharon couldn't help but shed tears.

Meanwhile, Stanley took the newborn and placed the newborn beside her, to which she observed carefully. Then, thinking of something, she asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy."

"Ah." Although Sharon was a little discouraged, she soon let go of her disappointment. Because regardless of the baby's gender, she would still love her child.

"What's wrong?" Stanley raised his eyebrows at her.

"Well, I want a daughter..."

Hearing that, Stanley looked at the baby in her arms. The newborn was tiny and his face was somewhat wrinkly. It was hard to tell who the baby resembled yet. Nonetheless, Stanley's heart gradually softened.

Ever since Sharon came out of the delivery room, he had been guarding by her side, so he hadn't taken a closer look at their newborn. But right now looking at the baby, he had a strange feeling.

It was as if he finally realized that he had become a father now.

When the baby was a month old, the Jones held a baby shower for him.

They booked one of the best hotels in town to hold the celebration and the staff did their best to arrange the banquet.

When Ariah and Jimmy came over, Sharon was waiting in one of the hotel rooms with the baby.

Since Ariah's belly was really big now, it was inconvenient for her to hold the baby, so she just stared at the baby and praised, "He's really cute. A month ago he still looked wrinkly, but now I can already see the outline of his features. It looks like he's gonna be a handsome guy when he grows up!"

Indeed, the baby had changed a lot. It had only been a month, but the baby was now snowy and chubby.

And he was especially cute.

In the meantime, standing by the baby's bed, the twins were observing their new little brother and touched the baby carefully.

The baby's skin felt very soft, like a marshmallow.

Thinking about that, Seamus turned to look at Sadie and said, "Sis, our little brother is so soft. He's like a marshmallow!"

Sadie also touched the baby's face, which felt indeed very soft. With a nod, she agreed, "Yeah, he's soft like a marshmallow."

Seeing how the kids got along, Ariah felt that she should really plan to have a second child in the future. Otherwise, the child in her belly would be lonely. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Tonight, all the wealthy families were present. Stanley, Jimmy, and a few others were welcoming guests in the hall.

After a while, Howard came with a babysitter from his house.

Sharon had seen the babysitter before. It was a sweet girl. Her name was Elaine.

Elaine was younger than them. Upon greeting

Sharon and Ariah, she went to play with the children.

Later, Howard wanted to go help at the banquet but he was a little worried about Elaine, so he pulled Ariah to the side and said, "Hey, can you take care of Elaine for me? She was a little shy to come initially and I had to drag her here."

"Oh?" Ariah looked at him with a faint smile. "You sounded very close to her, huh?"

Hearing that, Howard just rolled his eyes and said, "Jeez, I know what you're thinking now. But it's not what you think."

Instantly, she burst into laughter. "Calm down. I didn't say anything."

Howard was choked speechless.

Ariah was a quick-witted woman.

Nonetheless, before leaving, Howard enjoined her to take good care of Elaine.

Seeing that Howard had left, Sharon and Ariah exchanged a look. Then, Sharon cleared her throat, calling out, "Elaine."

"Yes, Sharon?" When Elaine heard Sharon call her, she quickly came over and asked. "Do you need any help?"

Sharon looked at her up and down before saying, "You've arrived quite early. Have you eaten anything yet?" "Yes, Howard took me to have a sandwich early in the morning. He said that today's banquet might start a little late."

Ariah was a little surprised that Howard was actually quite considerate.

Surprisingly, he, a rich playboy, would do something like that.

On the other hand, Sharon pulled Elaine over to sit down beside her and asked, "Elaine, are you dating Howard?"

Unlike Ariah, Sharon couldn't hold back anything. As soon as Howard brought Elaine here, she began to sense something different.

Now when she heard the girl say that Howard had taken her to have breakfast prior to coming here, she was even more astounded.

She didn't expect Howard to be so attentive. It was completely out of line with his character.

Therefore, Sharon asked directly.

Before she asked that, she thought that the girl would blush and deny. But out of her expectation, Elaine widened her eyes in surprise and replied, "No, we're not dating. Why do you ask?"

Her eyes looked pure and innocent. She didn't seem to be lying.

Getting her reply, Sharon and Ariah exchanged a look and Ariah finally said, "Well, we had the feeling that you two are dating since Howard is very attentive to you. Anyway, if you two are really dating, do tell us yeah. We'll support you."

"I see, but I'm afraid you two gonna get upset." With a smile, Elaine then explained, "Howard only took me along because he noticed that I was a little not in the mood."

What?

So Elaine was just a companion?

Those who were able to attend the banquet today were all well-known people.

Even some of the company presidents who really wanted to see Stanley were not invited.

So some of them would try to encourage their wives and daughters to speak to Sharon, hoping that they could fawn over Stanley. However, Stanley didn't let anyone come up.

Therefore, if Howard hadn't brought her up here purposefully today, she wouldn't have gotten a chance to meet them at all.

Looking at the innocent look on her face, Ariah shook her head and sighed. She finally understood that perhaps Elaine hadn't realized that Howard was interested in her.

Thinking about that, Ariah suddenly asked, "Elaine, do you like Howard?"
