Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 232

"What's wrong? Don't you want to hear my voice?" Shawn said, as he could feel that she was not in a high spirit. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"No. What's up?"

"I'll take you to dinner."

"Well, I'm not hungry."

Narrowing his eyes, Shawn said, "A week ago, I was the one who sent you to your dormitory. I know where you live, so do you need me to pick you up personally?"

If he were to get up here, gossips would drown her.

"No!" Sharon gave in. "Wait there. I'll go down right away."

The corners of Shawn's mouth curled into a smile. Putting away his phone, he patiently waited for her. He had never been in such a good mood before. It was the same feeling he had when he used to pick up Sharon, who was late for school, when he had time.

At that time, she was the same. She did not want others to know about their relationship. Knowing that she was shy, so he did not force her. If she said that she would not let him enter the school, then he would not.

Back then, he stood outside her school to pick her up every night. Time flew by, and it lasted for two years.

The two years he had spent waiting was the happiest thing in his life.

Coming out of the car, Shawn raised his head to look at her dormitory. Just like before, in the dark light, he looked at her brightly lit classroom and thought about what she was doing in class. Was she focused? Or was she chatting with her classmates...

After a long time, Sharon came, but at a very slow pace. She dawdled continuously. She could have been out in five minutes, but she had spent twenty minutes.

As soon as she got out of the school gate, Sharon saw Shawn standing by the car and was waiting for her in the distance. She buried her head and went straight to the car. Before Shawn could say anything, Sharon opened the car door and went in.

Stunned for a moment, Shawn then came to his senses. Smiling, he followed Sharon.

"Are you afraid of being seen?" He asked directly.

With that, Sharon replied with a "hmm" and nodded her head in awkwardness.

"It doesn't matter even if we're seen." Shawn leaned over and tried to fasten her seatbelt. Not giving him a chance, Sharon removed his hand and quickly fastened it. "Well, let's go."

Pausing for a while, Shawn said, "It doesn't matter if we're seen or not. If they ask about it, just tell them I'm your brother. It's not a big deal."

Hearing that, Sharon cast a glance at him. "Indeed, it's alright, but I'm afraid of trouble. I have to explain myself when the time comes, it'll be too troublesome."

Pursing his lips, Shawn started the car, and changed the topic. "What do you want to eat?"

"Actually, I'm not hungry at all..."

"For the past few days, you have not eaten properly, am I right?" Shawn turned and slowly drove the car. "Your complexion looks bad!"

Stroking her face, Sharon asked, "Is it bad?"

"Yes."

Suddenly, Sharon's heart felt stuffy. Gritting her teeth secretly, she cursed a certain man that caused this. Otherwise, she would not have lost her appetite and her sleep.

There was a red light in front of them. Shawn stopped and turned his head. "There's still no news about Stanley?"

Speaking of something that troubled her, Sharon did not know what to say. All she could do was look out the window, and pretended that she did not hear what he had said.

"Sharon..."

Seeing that, Shawn called her name. "It's been almost ten days, and there's no news from Stanley at all. Haven't you thought about the reason?"

Swiftly, Sharon turned her head. "What's the reason?"

"A person will not go missing with no reason."

"Then tell me, what causes Stanley's disappearance?"

"There are many reasons."

"Say it!"

Without giving an answer, Shawn pursed his lips. Then, the traffic light went green, he started the car and drove away. After a while, he said slowly, "You can't get through his phone, and there had been no news on him. It's easy to misunderstand the situation!"

With her eyes wide open, Sharon stared firmly at him. "What's there to misunderstand?"

"It's possible that he's in some kind of

danger..."

"Stop the car!"

Before Shawn could finish his sentence, Sharon suddenly screamed, "Stop the car!"

Ignoring everything, she tried to open the car door. Scared by her actions, Shawn quickly turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road.

Subsequently, Sharon pushed open the car door and got off. Without saying a word, she started walking back.

"Sharon!"

In a hurry, Shawn ran after her with a ghastly expression. "What are you doing?"

Lowering her head, Sharon moved forward.

"Sharon!"

With that, Shawn grabbed her hand.

Forcefully, Sharon pulled out her hand. Her eyes were red like blood, "If I hear any nonsense about Stanley being in danger from you again, I will despise you!"

Stunned by her words, Shawn then became angry. "Which word was false? If you have a brain, can't you figure it out? He has disappeared for almost ten days, and without a word. So he must be either dead or in danger..."

"Shut up!" Sharon hatefully stared at him.

Sarcastically sneers, Shawn then said, "Haven't you seen the news? The Jones Group has no leader, and everyone is panicking. Even the high- level members of the Jones Group have no clue where Stanley went. If he isn't dead..."

Bang!

Violently, Sharon slapped him in the face.

Shawn's face was ashen, and blue veins stood out on his forehead. Sharon was expressionless as she withdrew her hand and walked forward.

Walking back, Sharon called Melody. As soon as Melody picked up the phone, she heard Sharon's sobbing voice from the other end of the phone. "Melody..."

Half an hour ago, at Beachmarsh's airport, a group of people rushed out the airport. The man in the lead was tall and straight. He had good-looking features with sharp edges, and the sides of his face looked pale. He bent his tall body, and got into the car.

The man in the car raised his hand and knocked on the back of the chair. Ordering in a deep voice, "Return home!"

The guy was no other than Stanley.

Looking at the man through the rearview mirror. "Mr. Jones, the doctor in Lofrana said that the first thing we need to do after getting off the plane is to take you to the hospital for an examination, to

make sure you're not hurt or bleeding..."

Without speaking. Stanley leaned against the seat. He looked tired, and his face as pale as snow.

"Return to the villa first."

Anthony knew the reason why Stanley insisted, as he had not seen Sharon for almost ten days. The first thing he wanted to do after getting off the plane was to meet Sharon.

"Mr. Jones, if you don't feel well, please inform me at once."

"Stop with the chatter, and drive!"

"Yes."

The car started, Stanley then closed his eyes to rest. After resting for a while, his breathing returned to normal. Opening his eyes, he thought for a moment, and reached out to say, "Give me your phone."

Taking out his phone from his pocket, Anthony handed it over.

With that, Stanley took over the phone and made a call. The phone did not ring for a few times before it got through.

"Hazel." Stanley spoke first. "Is Sharon at home?"

When Hazel heard Stanley's voice, she thought she was hallucinating. "Mr. Jones?"

"It's me."

"Why did you disappear for so long? Why didn't you make a call home? Mrs. Jones and I were so worried! Young Master Stanley, where have you been during this period of time? Why haven't you

returned home? Did you quarrel with Mrs. Jones?"

Interrupting Hazel's words, "I'll talk about those things in the future. First, tell me whether Sharon is at home or not?"

What he desperately wanted to do right now was to meet and hug her. If he returned without seeing her, he would go crazy.

"Oh, good. The thing is, Mrs. Jones...Mrs. Jones had not been home for a week..."
