Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 248

In a milk tea shop, outside the hospital.

Sitting inside the shop were Sharon, Rebecca, and Nathan.

"Isn't Nathan well-behaved?" Rebecca looked at her son, who was sitting there obediently, sipping his drink. She smiled slightly and said, "He's such a good boy. No one in the world would dislike him. Miss Cruz, do you think Stanley will like him?"

Looking at her coldly, Sharon said, "You've asked me here just to tell me this?"

"Of course not."

"Then what did you want?"

"I just wanted to say that you will be Nathan's stepmother in the future. I hope that you'll treat him well. Don't abuse him, don't hit him, don't..."

"Rebecca Lambert!"

As Sharon could not bear it any longer, she shouted, "This child is your son. He has nothing to do with me!"

With a smile, Rebecca said, "He's Stanley's child. If you're not going to divorce Stanley, then you'll have to put up with this child. I would prefer to let you know beforehand, rather than having you panic when the time comes."

"Since when you're so kind? You're telling me this just so you can break the relationship between me and Stanley, right?" Sharon scoffed.

"If your relationship with Stanley is stable enough, how could I break it?" Rebecca raised her eyebrows. "Miss Cruz, I want to ask. After I left yesterday, how did Stanley explain to you about our trip abroad?"

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to tell you, Stanley was abroad to save Nathan this time. Although the history between Stanley and me had passed. Nathan will always be his son. He will never turn a blind eye to the boy."

After finishing her words, Rebecca looked at Sharon, whose face gradually turned pale. With that, a deep smile formed on Rebecca's face. She continued, "Or did Stanley lie to you, from the start till the end? He did not tell you why he went abroad, neither did he mention anything about Nathan to you?"

"He... he was just worried that I could not accept it, so he did not mention... the child!"

"What a joke, and you believe that? Let me tell you the truth. Stanley had never intended to tell you about the existence of this child. What he had planned was to secretly compensate us behind your back, giving us whatever we desired. He would even accompany us to go shopping once a week and bring us traveling as well. Any, I'm not greedy for any title. As long as I can be with Stanley, I am satisfied."

Rebecca fixed her gaze on Sharon as if she was an eyesore. "Miss Cruz, the question is, can you accept us?"

When she heard that, Sharon's mind went blank. Originally, she thought that Rebecca had called her out to impose a threat. In the end, she was here to seek peace?

"I know you would not want to divorce Stanley, and I won't force you to do so. I don't want anything. Title, money, status, they're all yours," For a moment, Rebecca did not look at her. "I only beg that you allow Stanley to come by my place once a week. Let him spend the night with his child, with me..."

Looking at her in disbelief, Sharon rebuked, "You're carzy!" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

With a frown, Rebecca said, "I know you won't agree. It doesn't matter if you hate me, but you should think about Nathan. He's the only child of Stanley, and you can't stop them from meeting! You have not been a mother, so you can't understand a mother's state of mind. Miss Cruz, I've never begged anyone. This time I'm begging you to be merciful. Don't destroy our family of three, please?"

If they were a family of three, then what about her? Was she an outsider then?

The hand that Sharon placed on her abdomen started to tremble uncontrollably. She looked at the little boy across from her in a daze.

In another hospital.

Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Sharon looked at her sleeping father. She held her father's hand with one hand, then placed the other hand on her stomach. "Father, I'm pregnant. I found out today and was very excited. I planned to share this good news with Stanley, but I've discovered another thing..."

With that, Sharon's eyes turned red again as she spoke, "It turns out that he already had a son. His name was Nathan. He's very well-behaved, with big eyes. I don't want to like him, but he's so obedient that I can't help but like him..."

Babbling, Sharon said a lot to her father. She did not know how long they had talked. In the end, she actually fell asleep.

At the time she woke up, she found herself in a car.

Swiftly, she sat up and turned her head. Her gaze met a pair of dark eyes.

Phew, not a bad guy.

Sharon's tense body slowly relaxed again.

"Went missing in the toilet, huh?" Stanley opened his mouth and said in a cold voice.

Turning her face away, Sharon ignored him.

"Even if you want to visit your father at the hospital, you should inform me in advance!" Stanley's voice was much heavier. "Do you know that I have turned the hospital upside down looking for you?"

Looking out of the window at the night view, Sharon bit her lip and remained silent.

"Sharon Cruz!"

Enraged and rebuked by her, Stanley forcefully placed his large hand on her shoulder and said, "I'm asking you, did you hear me?"

Enduring the pain on her shoulder, Sharon raised her eyes to look at him. "Now you know what it feels like when you're unable to find a person who went missing, huh? You know how it feels when someone disappears without a word. It's enough to make a person break down, don't you think?"

Hearing that, Stanley furrowed his brows as he said, "Aren't these matters resolved? Why did you bring it up again?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm being unreasonable!"

Finally, her strange tone angered Stanley. "What's wrong with you again!"

"It's your fault!" Sharon's eyes were red from being poked by his words. She roared back, "You big fat liar, you've been lying to me from start, right?"

Looking at Sharon's red eyes, Stanley felt his heart skip a beat.

Just now, he searched high and low around the hospital but could not find her. He was so anxious that he almost turned the hospital over. Later, Dr. Wallace called him to inform him that Sharon was at her father's ward. Only then, Stanley was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

When Stanley arrived at the hospital, Sharon was asleep on the edge of the bed. Her eyelashes were filled with tears, and it was obvious that she had cried.

Why was she crying?

And she was crying in front of her father's bed!

Could it be that she had discovered something...

He did not dare to overthink!

"Sharon, you... " Stanley looked at her with a burning gaze as he asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?"

"Still playing dumb!" Sharon roared at him. "What's going on with your son?"

Hearing that, Stanley laughed, "You're saying that I'm a liar because of this matter?"

Not because of her father?

That was a sign of relief for Stanley.

Never would he ever let her know what happened to her father. If she knew it, the relationship between them would be over!

Sharon glared at him with her red eyes and said, "How can you still laugh? Stanley, you're a liar! Your words sounded so nice. You said that the reason you went abroad was to protect me from Harvey. You're a liar! You obviously went abroad for Rebecca's and your son!"
