Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 176

The corner of Stanley's lips twitched. He stared at her seriously with a smile.

He had seen all of her actions just now. He found that she looked very funny and adorable when she tried to get close to him but was too shy to do so. It actually made him a little nervous, even his palm was sweaty.

His heart was beating too fast. He was not as calm and wise as he used to be.

He said what he had said just now in order to ease the mood.

He didn't despise her. He just wanted to find a topic to ease his tension.

Stanley lowered his eyes and smiled. He hadn't had such a feeling for so many years. It actually felt quite good.

"What are you smiling at?" Sharon glared at him. "You're laughing at me again, aren't you?"

Stanley looked at her seriously and shook his head. "No."

Sharon thought that he was going to verbally attack her again. Unexpectedly, he showed her such a serious side. Unable to stand his serious gaze, she swallowed and looked away timidly, mumbling, "It's so hot. Did they turn off the air conditioner here?"

A young girl sitting next to them leaned into her boyfriend's arms and said, "Honey, I need your coat. They've turned on the air conditioner to the maximum. I'm so cold."

Sharon looked askance at them.

They did it on purpose!

Stanley curled his lips into an amusing smile.

Sharon was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide like an ostrich.

It was a long wait. Sharon was so bored that she started to count the popcorns to pass the time. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "I almost forgot."

Stanley looked at her in confusion.

Holding the popcorn in her arms, Sharon turned her head and stared at him straightly. "You haven't finished what you were saying just now. Let's continue."

Stanley was bewildered.

Sharon narrowed her beautiful big eyes. "You said that you didn't know what it's like to go out with someone on a date. You lied to me, didn't you?"

Stanley rubbed his forehead and said, "You indeed have a good memory."

"Yup." Sharon looked at him. "What's going on between you two? Tell me!"

Stanley pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

Sharon was a little disappointed. "You don't want to tell me?"

She thought, "No matter how close I am to him, when it comes to Rebecca, there is always a thorn in his heart."

Perhaps Rebecca was too important to him, so much so that he could not forget her now and could not talk about her with others.

She even couldn't mention her name.

She slowly withdrew her sight, slowly retreated, and returned to the darkness in the corner...

She felt a little sad.

She thought that time would slowly heal his wounds. She was willing to spend time with him and let him accept her wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, she felt a tight grip on her wrist.

He dragged her towards him again.

Sharon looked up in astonishment. Stanley fixed his eyes on her and pulled her back to his side. He looked straight at her and said word by word, "Do you want to know what happened between me and Rebecca?"

What did he mean?

Was he willing to tell her?

Sharon nodded blankly. "Yes..."

Stanley touched her head. Her hair was soft and smooth, which made the touch feel very comfortable. He held her tightly with his other hand, as if he was afraid that she would stay away from him.

"Rebecca's father was the driver of my family. When her father passed away the year she was 18 years old, she and her mother moved to our house. It was also at that time that I knew her."

Sharon didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk about her. After being stunned for a while, she immediately asked, "And then?"

Stanley glanced at her, pursed his lips, and said, "It rained heavily that day. Her father drove my mother back. There was an accident on the way. Her father saved my mother and passed away. My

family felt sorry for the Lambert Family, so they took Rebecca and her mother to our house. I was two years older than her. When she was in my house, I went to college. I didn't go back to the Jones Family for a long time, so I didn't have much time to meet her. Later, her mother passed away, and she was the only one left. There was a time when she suffered from depression and even wanted to commit suicide..."

Sharon listened in a daze. She didn't expect that there was such a past between them.

"Once, I went home during the summer break. I heard some commotion coming from her room in the middle of the night. I got up and saw that she was going to commit suicide by swallowing pills, so I rushed her to the hospital. The next day, she cried and said that she was the only one left in the world, and she didn't want to live. Back then, I thought that I could be with her and take care of her in the future. It was also something I could do to repay her father's heroic act..."

Sharon's body froze. Stanley noticed it and was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. After all, he was talking about another woman. He wanted to comfort her, but Sharon took his hand and said sympathetically, "She is so pitiful. I didn't know that she had such a sad past."

Stanley stared at her, flabbergasted.

Shouldn't she be jealous? Why was she standing on Rebecca's side now?

He smiled helplessly. "You're not jealous?"

Sharon rolled her eyes at him. "Why should I be jealous?"

"Because I'm telling you about another woman." She was his first love.

Sharon held his arm and looked up at him. "How old were you when you were with Rebecca?"

Stanley didn't know why she asked this question, yet he answered her, "Around 21."

Sharon counted on her fingers to calculate the time. "When you were 21 years old, I was only a junior high school student. You were an adult. You could even get married if you want to, but I was just a little girl... So, tell me, why should I be jealous?"

Stanley was startled.

Sharon thought about it and added, "It's normal for you to fall in love with someone at that time."

Therefore, Sharon was not jealous of Rebecca and him at all. She even thought that their love story was quite romantic.

"Due to our age gap, it is destined that your previous life will be richer than mine and you would meet other women before me."

Sharon was glad that they had met each other despite their large age gap.

As soon as she finished, she immediately felt that his hand around her waist tightened. Stanley's deep eyes were also particularly hot when he stared at her as if there was some kind of burning light.

Sharon was scared by his gazes. "Uh, what's wrong?" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Stanley moved his thin lips into a smile and said in a low and mellow voice, "Nothing, I suddenly realize that you will always surprise me..."

The more he knew her, the more attractive and charming she would be when he was in close contact with her.

She didn't know it herself, but he saw it.

Sharon narrowed her eyes and stared at him. "Why do I feel that you are flattering me and putting me on a high horse? If you do si, I won't dare to be angry next time. If I do, I don't your praise..."

Stanley laughed. "You little overthinker."

Sharon snorted and said, "This way, I won't lose out."

After a pause, she began again, "Go on..."
