Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 209

It had to be said that Stanley was very kind to Rebecca. Not only did he pick her up from the hospital, but he also personally sent her back.

Sharon stood at the entrance boredly, watching the two talking inside.

With her head tilted to one side, she sized Rebecca up. If she hadn't overheard Rebecca's phone call accidentally in the washroom, she would never doubt why this beautiful and gentle woman suddenly chose to come back.

Could it be that she had some ulterior motives?

But Sharon had no idea at all.

She was too far away from Rebecca in the washroom, so she didn't hear clearly what Rebecca said on the phone, but she could vaguely hear something...

That was why Sharon asked those questions when they were in the restaurant.

Although Stanley was a smart person, in the face of Rebecca's sudden return, he must still be in confusion. He did not even think about why Rebecca would suddenly return.

Even if his mind was clear, would he suspect Rebecca?

After all, Rebecca had sacrificed a lot for him back then...

Upon thinking of this, Sharon felt a headache.

In the living room.

Rebecca pointed at Sharon who was standing at the entryway. "Is it alright for Miss Cruz to stand there alone?"

Stanley didn't even turn his head. "Let her be. Nothing good will come out of her mouth if she comes in anyway."

Rebecca pursed her lips and defended Sharon. "I believe Miss Cruz didn't mean to hurt me."

"You too noticed that she is acting against you?"

"Yes." Rebecca nodded with a smile. "After all, your relationship with me is... unusual. She must be feeling uncomfortable in her heart."

Stanley narrowed his deep eyes. "The way she treated you in the restaurant... Will you blame her?"

"No. She's just a little girl. There's no need for me to be angry with her." Rebecca tried her best to be generous. "Don't blame her, Stanley. She's still young, so she doesn't understand the matter between us."

Stanley nodded.

Rebecca's heart was filled with joy. As expected, Stanley was on her side. Every word he said was out of consideration for her.

As for Sharon... Although she was the wife of Stanley, she couldn't be compared to her, after all.

While contemplating, Rebecca quietly stretched out her hand to take Stanley's hand. "Stanley..."

It seemed that Stanley didn't see her movement, as he slightly leaned to one side and avoided her. "Just now in the restaurant, if she offended you, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Rebecca was stunned.

"She has always been outspoken. I spoiled her too much. At home, she would also say whatever was on her mind. It might make you uncomfortable listening to her words, so I'd like to say sorry on

behalf of her."

His passionate look as well as his behavior of protecting Sharon almost hit like a hard slap in the face of Rebecca.

She bit her lip and sneered, "Why should you apologize if it was she who did something wrong? You are not her, and you two are not one!"

Stanley looked at her indifferently. "We are husband and wife, so her business is my business."

Rebecca's face turned pale. "Why did you marry Sharon in the first place? Do you love her?"

A complicated light flickered in Stanley's eyes. "There's something I've always wanted to ask you."

"What thing?" Rebecca didn't pay much attention to his attempt to avoid the question.

"Why did you suddenly come back this time? And how did you happen to appear in the hospital and also in front of me?" Stanley said in a flat tone, but his gaze was sharp.

Rebecca looked at him in disbelief. "Are you... suspecting me?"

Stanley pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I'm just curious. Answer my questions."

His last sentence was said in a little louder tone.

"Okay, I'll answer you!" Rebecca's eyes turned red and she glared at him. "I didn't come back all of a sudden. In fact, I wanted to come back a long time ago, but I didn't have a chance! I happened to be in the hospital because I didn't know where you lived after I returned, so I could only go and find Howard. In the end, I didn't see Howard, but Jimmy. I followed Jimmy to the hospital all the way, that was why I met you! Are you satisfied with these explanations?"

Rebecca roared. She was so agitated that her chest rose and fell heavily.

Stanley furrowed his brows. "Are you feeling sick again?"

"No!"

Rebecca avoided his hand that was reaching out to her and answered with a pale face, "I'm fine!"

"Are you angry?" Stanley took back his hand and stood up straight. "I can apologize."

Rebecca bit her lip and insisted, "I'm not..."

Tall and slender, Stanley stood there silently and his thin lips were tightly pursed. Rebecca paused. She covered her chest and stood firm. After a while, she continued, "I don't blame you, really. I just blame myself for not coming back earlier. Even if it's just two years earlier, you wouldn't have married another woman, and we could have a chance..."

Rebecca could not help but want to grasp his hand.

Stanley, who had been standing still, took two steps back to avoid her movement.

Rebecca froze.

"Have a good rest." Stanley leaned to one side. A shadow cast under his long eyelashes. "I'll have to go first."

Rebecca subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull him. "Stanley..."

Stanley tilted his head.

Rebecca looked at him with her teary eyes full of emotions.

Suddenly, a clicking sound came from the entryway.

Stanley turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. Sharon was standing there, gnashing her teeth. "Did I disturb you two? Oops! I'm sorry, please continue!"

When he heard that, Stanley pinched his brows with his hand. Of course, he could tell that she was making cutting remarks.

Withdrawing his wrist from Rebecca's grasp, he strode towards the jealous woman.

Sharon turned around and ran off in anger. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Stanley closed the door behind him when he left. Rebecca stood there, glued to the spot for a long time.

Sharon flipped out as she walked.

"Scumbag! F*cking scumbag!" she cursed.

Stanley dared act intimately with Rebecca in front of her. Who knew, when she was not around, the two of them might do something even worse!

Losing her temper, she even felt like hitting him!

In a fit of rage, she destroyed a lot of flowers and plants along the way. When Stanley chased after her, he could see that her little body was burning with fire even from a distance.

He strolled over to her and stopped in her way. "Do you know you'll be fined for damaging public property?"

Sharon was so furious that she had to resist the urge to kick him. "Get out of my way!"

"What did you say?" His face suddenly darkened.

"I told you to scram! Didn't you hear me?" The irascible woman even had the nerve to yell at him.

Stanley's temple suddenly throbbed. "Whafs wrong with you? Didn't you see what happened just now? I didn't do anything."

"You guys were holding hands, yet you said you didn't do anything?"

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Do you really want to fuss over these with me? How many times Shawn has kissed you? Count on your own."

Right then, a sense of guilt overcame Sharon and her neck shrank like a tortoise. However, she suddenly felt that she was being such a coward, so she immediately straightened her back and refuted, "Shawn is like my older brother. Also, there is no more affection between us. What about you? You obviously have sinister motives towards Rebecca!"
