Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 58

Sharon, who was not paying attention to the road, bumped straight into Liam.

She rubbed her head and retreated, thinking that he stopped so abruptly without giving her any warning.

Liam looked at her with an amused smile.

"What are your eyes for?"

Sharon smiled embarrassedly.

"Where is your home? I'll send you back," Liam said.

"No thanks. I'll go back by bus, it's very convenient to take one here."

"Are you sure? I'm happy to give you a lift."

"Yes, I'm sure. Besides, we've only met three times. I don't want to trouble you."

Liam was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "You are very straightforward and lovely."

Sharon blinked, showing a trace of cheekiness. "I'll take it as a compliment."

"Of course it's a compliment." Liam looked down at her, who was so petite and only as tall as his chest level. His Adam's apple bobbed when he looked at her big sparkly eyes. "You're the most adorable girl I've ever seen."

These words...

And this kind of passionate gazes...

Sharon felt that his expression was rather flirtatious no matter how she looked at it. On second thought, he should not have flirted with her since they had only met three times, right?

Moreover, she didn't have what it took for him to seduce her.

She figured that she had been overthinking this and looked away, avoiding his gaze.

"Just now in the restaurant, when I went to search for you, why did you cry?"

Liam still looked at her with his flaming glance.

Sharon smiled and replied frankly, "When I was washing my face in the restroom, I accidentally splashed some water into my eyes, so I rubbed them. I wasn't crying." "Really?"

"Yes."

Liam simply arched his eyebrows as he listened to her explanation. He didn't believe her but decided against pursuing the matter further.

"Hey, the bus is here. See you."

Sharon pointed to the bus slowly coming from a distance.

Liam nodded. "I look forward to seeing you next time."

Sharon smiled awkwardly. To be frank, she didn't want to see this mysterious man again.

But it would be awkward to refuse him abruptly, so she immediately found an excuse to walk away when the bus came.

Liam stood still with his eyes fixed on her all the time. It was not until the bus left that he withdrew his glance and his lips curled into a deep smile.

When she returned to the villa, it was dark and particularly quiet.

Was no one home?

Sharon turned on the light and called out tentatively but she didn't get any response. Sure enough, there was no one at home.

Hazel was in the hospital, and it seemed that she would not come back tonight.

What about Stanley?

Did he stay out for the night too?

She looked at the time and it was still early, so she went upstairs to take a shower, but Stanley still didn't come back after she finished her shower. She read for a while. Half an hour later, she checked the time and it was already half-past ten.

"It's so late. Why don't you come back yet?" she mumbled while frowning, feeling a little frustrated.

As a man, he was even more childish than her. What should she do about him?

Since he hadn't come back yet, Sharon had to go to bed alone to sleep.

She tossed and turned, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Stanley came back frequently recently, and when they slept at night, they hugged each other intimately. Sharon got used to his hug after sleeping like this for a long time.

Now that she was lying on the empty bed, she started to miss him a little.

"You are insane!" She told herself.

Her mind was in a mess as she rolled around the bed frantically. Sometimes she thought of Shawn, and sometimes she thought of Stanley.

Shawn was the only man she fell for when she was a teenager. He was her first love and also her brother who grew up with her.

When Shawn wandered to the town, it was her father who took him in, took him as an adopted son, and gave him a home.

It was very easy for the puppy love to spark among the youth.

Shawn was older and smarter than her. It was easy for a young girl like her to fall in love with such a man.

Hence, Sharon had fallen in love with Shawn unwittingly.

It had happened as naturally as it came.

Their puppy love went on until it ended abruptly when she found out about Shawn and Cecilia's affairs during her high school graduation.

In a daze, she recalled the past and slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she found that the empty side of the bed was cold and there was no sign that anyone had come back into the bedroom.

It seemed that Stanley stayed out all night.

Did he spend the night at Jewel's place again?

With a bitter smile, Sharon patted her cheek and told himself not to think too much, so she got up and went to her morning ablutions.

At the same time, in Grasmere.

After finishing dealing with the affairs of the branch office, Stanley was about to go back to the hotel when his mobile phone rang.

He massaged his forehead and was too lazy to answer the phone. 'Anthony, who is it?"

The manager of the branch office specially arranged a driver to drive him around for two days, so Anthony was off the driver duty and became his all-around assistant.

Anthony picked up the phone and looked at it. After a pause, he said, "Boss, the caller ID shows an L. I don't know who it is."

Stanley's hand, which was massaging his forehead, halted.

L?

He frowned and his eyes flashed. "It's him?"

"You don't know, I know." Stanley took the phone from Anthony's hand and answered, "Hello."

There was a hissing sound of current coming from the phone. After a while, the man's deep voice sounded, "I heard that you are in Grasmere?"

Stanley was a smart person. When he asked the question, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you also here?"

"You're right. I happen to have something to deal with here. Since you're here, let's meet up."

Stanley smiled and said, "No problem. Let me know time and place."

The man on the other end of the line said it, and Stanley noted it. There was nothing much to say between men, so the call was soon over.

Putting down his phone, Stanley said directly, "Anthony, ask the driver to turn around."

"Where are you going?"

Stanley said the address.

After receiving the order, the driver immediately turned the car around. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Anthony was curious. "Boss, who was the person who called just now? Is a he or a she?"

Stanley glanced at him. "When did you become so nosy?"

"Haha..."

Anthony gave a dry laugh.

Stanley looked away, his long fingers tapping lightly on his dark grey trousers. He thought for a moment and said, "I was on a mission in Cresthill many years ago, and I was up against a very powerful family. The situation got a little tricky at that moment, and this L guy helped me. We're not close, but I owed him a favor."

Anthony nodded in acknowledgment, but he asked curiously. "What's his name?"

Stanley smiled slightly and said, "Shawn Lewis."

The atmosphere of the dinner between the two men was no-nonsense and direct.

The bright red wine on the table exhumed a mellow scent, and the chandelier on the ceiling reflected a bright light. Stanley looked at the man in a suit and said with a smile, "It's been a few

years since we last saw each other. I see that you have taken over the control of the Lewis Family."

Shawn took a sip of the wine lightly, looking at Stanley with his deep eyes. "How can you tell?"

"There are several bodyguards with you, and they are all on guard. One of them has an extraordinary combating skill, and he is your grandfather's henchman. I have met him once, and I have some impression of him. Now he has submitted to you."

Shawn was slightly surprised that Stanley could see all the situations from a simple observation.
