Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 55

In the ward, Sharon just applied the ointment to her wound when there was a knock on the door.

Sharon opened the door and found it was Anthony.

"Madam, the boss is waiting outside and he asked me to pick you up to go home," Anthony said.

Sharon nodded. "Okay."

It was useless for her to be here since her father had stabilized, so she could only leave with them.

They walked out in silence. Curiosity killed a cat. When she thought of Dr. Perkins's words, she couldn't hold back her skepticism and blurted, "Anthony, I want to ask you something."

"Please ask away, Madam."

"What's the nature of the relationship between Jewel and your boss?"

Howard said that if a man loved a woman, he would not hurt her. Sharon thought about it and realized that it made sense.

If Stanley loved Jewel, why did he marry her and make Jewel sad?

That was why she asked this question.

Anthony's eyes darted around uneasily. "Why do you suddenly want to know this?"

"I'm just asking."

"This is Boss' personal affair and I have no place to poke my nose into it. Please don't make things difficult for me, Madam." Anthony was not foolish enough to get involved in their business.

This cunning man!

"You have been working for your boss for so many years. Don't you know what relationship he has with Jewel? Anthony, do you think I am not the favored one, so you don't take me seriously?"

Sharon began to put up a pitiful role.

Anthony was speechless.

"Madam, if you are not important, will the boss personally handle the Casey Family? Will he also help you to teach Evonne and Cecilia a lesson and lose his demeanor?" Anthony shouted inside him that he dared not say out loud.

"Madam..." he muttered, feeling awkward.

"Just tell me, is Jewel important to your boss? This is a simple question."

On the contrary, Anthony was curious. "Madam, why do you suddenly care so much about the relationship between Jewel and boss?"

"If she is important to Stanley, I'll try to avoid meeting her in the future in case of unpleasantness. Am I right?" Sharon had already thought of a way to deal with the question.

Anthony thought about it and agreed with her comment. After a long while, he said truthfully, "Russell is quite important in boss' heart."

Jensen was Stanley's comrade-in-arms who died on the front line when they were on a mission together. At that time, as their captain, Stanley had been blaming himself for not protecting his comrade well at that time.

Therefore, in the past few years, he had compensated Jewel with all the guilt he had for Jensen.

Sharon had expected to hear such an answer, but she still felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

She felt suffocated as if there was something stuck in her heart, tearing her inner organs.

Anthony cautiously said when he saw Sharon's grimace, "Madam?"

Sharon came to her senses, took a deep breath and smiled at him. "Let's go. Don't let him wait too long."

Stanley was waiting impatiently in the elevator lobby, frowning and looking very unhappy.

As soon as he saw Sharon and Anthony, his face darkened. "What took you so long?"

"Tsk, he's really bad- tempered." Sharon squinted at him and thought.

Instead, she curled her lips and said, "We need time to walk here. We walked as fast as we can."

Stanley narrowed his eyes and thought, "She is getting better and better at talking back to me!"

With a "ding", the elevator door opened and someone came out from inside. The person was dressed in professional attire, stepping on high heels, and her figure was graceful and charming.

"Stanley?"

Ariah was stunned. She didn't expect to meet him here.

Stanley frowned. "Why are you here?"

Ariah came to him and wrapped her arm around his gracefully. "I haven't asked you yet. Why are you here?"

Sharon glanced at their intertwined arms and snorted in her heart, "This guy is a big jerk. It's not enough for him to have Jewel, but he wants to hook up with another beautiful woman."

She was too aggrieved to be Mrs. Jones.

Looking at Ariah's hand, Stanley said flatly, "Take your hand away."

Ariah stretched out her hand to brush her hair and smiled charmingly. "Why? Are you afraid that someone will misunderstand you?"

She had noticed Sharon for a long time, but she didn't ask because Stanley didn't introduce him.

Her eyes fell on the young lady who looked about 20 years old. She couldn't help wondering how could this girl marry Stanley at such a young age.

Sharon got goosebumps when she was sized up by the woman's inquiring eyes. She stood behind Stanley to avoid her glances.

Stanley saw through her tiny and dependent action which pleased him. He curled his lips and stood in front of Sharon, arching his eyebrows and looking at Ariah. "Are you here to see a doctor?"

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Can't you be nicer to me?"

Stanley shrugged.

"Is this girl your wife?" Ariah whispered in his ear.

Ariah huffed her hot breath on Stanley's earlobe, which made him frowned, and he pushed her away fiercely sweeping his sharp eyes. "Behave yourself!"

Ariah stumbled a few steps back when she was pushed by Stanley. If it weren't for Anthony's help to support her, she would have fallen.

After standing firm, Ariah laughed. "Do you think I'm seducing you? Don't be narcissistic. I love my husband so much that I don't have the mood to seduce you!"

The two families were old friends that went way back and got along well with each other. She grew up with Stanley. Although she had admired Stanley when she was young, she had already forgotten about her feelings for Stanley now.

Ariah rolled her eyes and pointed at Sharon. "Are you his wife?"

Sharon was also shocked by what happened just now and guickly nodded as the question was directed to her. "Yes."

"Young lady, this b*stard is not worth your love. Listen to me. Don't ever fall in love with him, or you will regret it in the future... Hey, I haven't finished my words yet. Where are you going?"

Stanley didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he took Sharon's hand and went straight into the elevator.

Anthony immediately followed them.

They literally ignored Ariah. As the elevator door slowly closed, Ariah was so pissed that she raised her middle finger.

Sharon choked. "Ahem!"

The only woman who dared to show her middle finger to Stanley's face was probably the beautiful woman outside the elevator.

Stanley looked extremely gloomy and grumpy. He was probably being pissed by Ariah. Sharon felt funny and amused as this was the first time she saw him being teased and he had no way to deal

with it. It was so amusing but she dared not to laugh out loud, so she muffled her laughter with great effort.

"Is it so funny?"

The man said with his deep and gloomy voice.

Sharon immediately shook his head. "No, no."

Stanley squinted at her who had a big smile on her face. What was there to deny?

He was gripping her with slightly great strength that Sharon felt pain in her wrist. She hissed as she took two deep breaths and wanted to pull her hand back. "Let go."

The elevator door opened. Stanley not only didn't let her go but also dragged her out directly.

The passers-by outside were looking at them.

Sharon stumbled behind him and rolled her eyes. "Hey, let me go first, okay?"

Stanley snorted and said, "Don't move!"

She squinted at him, annoyed.

After leaving the hospital, there were more and more pedestrians coming and going around. The commotion between them was getting louder that it attracted curious glances from the passers-by.

Sharon felt embarrassed.

She tried to break free from his hand. "Listen to me. If someone took out photos, we'll definitely be in big trouble."

Then she remembered that Anthony told her that Jewel was important to him, so she bit his lip and added, "And Jewel too. If we are published in a newspaper, she will be sad when she sees it. Let go of me!"

Stanley, striding forward, suddenly looked gloomy. He turned around and stared at her coldly for a long time before he finally blurted, "You have a big heart."

Sharon only wanted him to let go of her hand as soon as possible. "I know that you and Jewel are true love. I will be sensible and never get you into trouble."

She was so sensible, but why was he unhappy? He looked at her with sinister eyes and asked, "Jewel and I are true love?"

"Uh... yeah, isn't that so?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Anthony had admitted in front of her that Jewel was very important to him.

Looking at her innocent and pure expression, Stanley's heart ached with anger. He nodded with a cold face and said, "You're right. We are true love. I love Jewel. Remember this!"

After that, he shook off her hand and strode forward.

Sharon was stunned. Then she looked down and rubbed her painful wrist.
