Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 251

There was a knock on the door, and Stanley's brows furrowed. He felt a headache coming on. It seemed childish to argue with a little girl about this matter!

"Sit down. I'll get the door."

Curling her lips, Sharon sat down obediently, thinking about how she could get him to allow her to continue attending school.

When the door opened, it was Anthony. He was holding a stack of documents in his hand. "Mr. Jones, I have brought you all the important documents that needed to be approved. There won't be anything important in the company for these few days. You can stay at home with Mrs. Jones."

Looking at him with praise, Stanley pointed inside, "Put it down."

As Anthony walked into the house, he happened to see Sharon walking towards him. Terrified, Anthony immediately leaned to the side of the wall and came to the living room. His careful manner was as if he was afraid of bumping into Sharon.

Seeing that, Sharon intentionally teased him and took the initiative to get closer to him.

"Hey, Charles, why are you hiding from me?"

Backing away in horror, Anthony urged, "Please don't come any closer!"

"What's wrong? Am I a beast? Why are you so afraid of me?"

"No... No, now that you are pregnant. I need to be careful!"

With that, Sharon curled her lips. "I'm just pregnant. Why are you so afraid of me?"

"He He." Anthony laughed dryly and quickly slipped away. "Mr. Jones, I'll go back first."

With a quick answer, Stanley then closed the door. He narrowed his eyes and pulled Sharon into his arms. "Are you bullying Anthony for fun?"

"He's too funny." Sharon nodded and smiled.

"Isn't his nervous expression funny?"

"He's just being careful."

"I'm just pregnant. It's not like I'm carrying a bomb!" Sharon pushed him away and jumped up on the spot. "Look, don't you see that nothing happened? Stanley, don't be overstressed. Why aren't you letting me go to school..."

"Sharon!" Stanley's expression changed as he nervously looked at her. "Don't jump! Stand properly now!"

Seeing that he was truly in shock, Sharon said with a laugh, "I'm fine. Why are you so scared?"

Stanley was baffled.

How could this naughty girl find it funny?

Stanley's chest heaved, and he wished he could tie her to his body with a rope.

After taking a shower in the evening, Sharon sat on the sofa and blow-dried her hair. The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, and the phone in the suit jacket rang for a long time before Sharon heard it.

Turning off the hairdryer, Sharon suspiciously took out the phone in Stanley's suit. It was an unknown number. It did not look like a domestic call. Not sure whether it was a swindler calling.

"Stanley, your phone's ringing!" Sharon took his phone and knocked on the bathroom door.

A man's deep and low voice resonated inside the bathroom. "Who's calling?"

"I don't know. There's no name." Sharon leaned against the door and looked inside. She could not see a thing. Narrowing her eyes, she questioned, "Didn't you lose your phone?"

There was no sound inside. After a while, the bathroom door opened, and hot steam rose. Stanley wiped his hair with one hand and took the phone from her other hand. He said, "It's new. I had remade a new card."

"Oh."

Sharon understood the importance of a phone to such a busy man. In this modern society, phones were important tools. Someone at his level would definitely need one by his side.

"Who called?" Seeing that he did not have the intention of hanging up, Sharon was doubtful.

Thinking for a moment before Stanley said, "My mom."

Stunned by his answer, Sharon remembered something. Hazel had said before that Stanley's mother was in poor health and was recuperating overseas.

"Then answer it quickly. I won't listen." Sharon ran to the sofa and sat down like a good student.

With that, Stanley pulled up the corners of his mouth and answered the phone, "Mom."

Ember's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone, "Were you asleep? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

"I was just taking a shower." Stanley heard his mother's voice on the other side of the phone and felt a little nervous. Looking at the woman on the sofa, he licked his thin lips. "Mom, there's something I want to tell you."

"Just say it, I'm listening."

"You're going to be a grandmother."

There was a long silence on the other end of the line. After a long while, her breathing became heavy. Ember said with an unbelievable and choking voice, "Re... Really?"

Smiling, Stanley continued, "It's true. I personally brought her to a checkup. It's only five weeks old." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Great, great." Ember's voice sounded very happy. "Pass the phone to Sharon. I want to talk to her."

"Hold on."

"Mm-hmm!"

With that, Stanley passed the phone to Sharon. She looked at him in confusion. He then sat down beside her and caressed her head. "Mom wants to talk to you."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Sharon said nervously, "Now... Is it now?"

Handing over his phone, Stanley said, "She's waiting for you."

Immediately, Sharon held it, put it to her ear, and timidly said, "Hello... Hello."

"Is this Sharon? I've always wanted to meet you, but I did not have the chance. Now I can finally hear your voice. It's really nice."

A gentle voice came from the phone. Ember's miraculous words were able to calm anyone. With that, Sharon's nervous mood was swept away. "Thank... Thank you, Mom. Your voice sounds nice too."

"Good girl." Ember laughed. "I heard from Stanley that you're pregnant?"

"Ah... Yes, we just found out this morning."

"Congratulations! You both will become parents soon. I'm abroad now, so I can't congratulate you in person. I don't even have a gift for my grandchild. I hope you don't mind."

"No, no, I won't mind. It's my fault. I've been married to Stanley for so long, but I had not personally called you Mom."

Sharon felt as if she had just hit the jackpot for having such a good mother-in-law.

The two women had never met, yet they were able to babble on the phone. Both of them left a very good impression on each other. Later, they both hung up the phone. Then, Sharon rushed over to hug Stanley. Her little face was red with excitement. "Your mother is so kind, and her voice is so gentle! She even reminded me about the things I need to pay attention to. Stanley, I'm so happy!"

"Be careful!" Stanley held her in his arms in shock. "What's there to be happy about?"

"I'm so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law. It must be a blessing from my past life!"

"You are also a good daughter-in-law."

"That's... But I was really nervous just now. Look at my hands! It's so sweaty. I'm even more nervous than being in an exam..."

Raising her head, Sharon looked at him. Her eyes were sparkling and dazzling. She was simply too beautiful. Seeing this, Stanley could not help but lean down and kiss her.

Um...

Sharon was embarrassed. How did he end up kissing her again?

Reaching out, she pushed him away. "No, the doctor has instructed..."

"I know..." Stanley gave her a few more kisses. His eyes were full of lust, and his gaze was like that of a wolf's. He wanted nothing more than to devour her.

Sharon's face turned red, and she was scared to look him in the eye.

There was still one or two months left. What should he do?

However, even if he could not endure, he had to!

Whereas Sharon was in a good mood. For these two months, it would be easy and comfortable for her. She felt at ease. It was so wonderful that she did not have to suffer from his torment.
