Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 254

"Who said that Nathan's my son?"

Hearing what Stanley had said, Rebecca was stunned for a moment, but then she said with a smile, "Stanley, are you kidding me? Who is Nathan's father, no one knows this better than me!"

"You think I'm lying?"

"Did Sharon forbid you to take us in and badmouthed us?" Rebecca could only think of this reason. "That woman must have said something! She looks kind and generous on the outside, but she's actually pettier than you think. Stanley, don't believe her words, I..."

"Rebecca!" Stanley scolded in a low voice, "I've already asked Howard to check Nathan's DNA. Nathan isn't my son! He has nothing to do with me! If you don't believe me, you can bring Nathan and examine it personally!"

In disbelief, Rebecca mumbled, "That's absolutely impossible..."

Stanley did not want to waste time with her, so he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, "I asked Howard to print two copies. I had given one to Sharon, and this is yours. Take a look yourself."

Lowering her head, Rebecca looked at the writing in black and white. It was very clear, but...

"No... Impossible, it's fake!" She insisted that it was not true. "This must be Sharon's tricks, because she did not want you to take us in, and did not want you to recognize Nathan as your son!"

"She's not as bad as you think. In fact, she herself told me that Nathan is very obedient and she likes him very much. She doesn't object to me raising him, so don't make assumptions about her," Then, Stanley stood up. "If you want money, I can give it to you. I will pay for Nathan's living expenses as well as all kinds of expenses. Consider this as my last bit of repayment for you.

Rebecca, I will always remember that shot you took to protect my mother, and I will do what I can to repay you, but I won't be with you. You have to accept this reality."

Finishing his words, Stanley turned around and was about to stride away. As he turned around, Nathan was standing behind him while staring at him.

Pursing his lips, Stanley squatted down in front of the child and looked into his eyes, saying, "You're a young man, do take good care of your mom. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

Then, he rubbed the little boy's head, got up and left.

Rebecca's hands were trembling as she held the DNA report, and her eyes were full of disbelief. In the end, something appeared in her mind. With that, her expression changed, and her face gradually turned pale.

On the other end, Sharon sneaked to the school while Stanley was not at home. After class, she pulled Melody aside and told her about her pregnancy.

"Melody, you're going to be a godmother soon!" Sharon said with a smile while waiting for Melody to scream.

Blinking her eyes, Melody who was usually quick-witted did not realize what she meant. "What do you mean?"

"God, why are you so stupid?" Sharon had a look of contempt on her face. Then, she caressed her belly. "In my belly, there's a baby."

Following her line of sight, Melody was stunned for a moment before understanding what was going on. Her mouth was wide open, but luckily Sharon covered her mouth in time. "Don't shout, we're in the classroom!"

Melody was so excited that her face turned red. She kept nodding her head and did not yell.

With that, Sharon let go of her, and Melody hopped up and down on the spot. "Really? You're not lying to me, right?"

"No, the baby is around five weeks. I checked twice. It's true."

"Gee..." Melody screamed in a low voice. "Come on, sit down. Don't exhaust future sweetheart."

Sharon felt helpless.

Obviously, Melody was more excited than how Sharon reacted when she first found out about her pregnancy. A lot of questions were fired at Sharon. At last, Melody sounded exactly like Stanley. "You should not come to school in the future, stay at home and get more rest."

Hearing that, Sharon frowned but before she could finish her sentence, Melody frowned and said, "F*ck, I forgot that you're a college student. It's not like there are no college students who are pregnant, but why do I feel so weird when I suddenly know one myself?"

Then she glared at her. "Why didn't you take protective measures?"

Sharon did not know what to say.

Honestly, she had been wronged. In this matter, it had always been Stanley's claim. Moreover, she had taken precautions. She was also clueless about why she got pregnant.

"If you don't want everyone to look at you peculiarly, then you definitely can't come to school. You need to take a temporary leave starting tomorrow and only return after giving birth."

Looking at her confusedly, Sharon thought to herself. Could it be that she really had to stay put at home during this whole pregnancy? Just thinking about it was torture!

"Let's go! I'll take you to the counselor's office to fill in the form." Melody was a woman of action and immediately acted. Sharon was dragged by her and did not react until they were out of the classroom and her phone rang. Coming back to her senses, she said, "Hey, I need to pick up this call."

"Hurry up."

Taking out her phone, she saw that it was Shawn. She picked it up without hesitation.

With a smile, Shawn said in a low voice, "I'm at your school gate. Why don't you come out and meet me?"

Hesitating for a while, she then nodded. "All right, I'll be right there. Wait for me."

Melody raised her eyebrows and questioned, "Where are you going?"

"I'm meeting someone, so I won't be filling out the form. About taking some time off school, let me think about it."

Sharon was not mentally prepared to take a leave of absence from school, and Shawn's call was like a rescue. Leaving Melody behind, she slipped away.

Melody stomped her feet on the spot. "That naughty girl!"

When Sharon walked out of the school gate, she noticed that Shawn's car was not far away. He stood by the car, with his hands in his pockets as he looked down at the stones on the ground, like he was thinking about something. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was such a familiar scene, and it suddenly brought Sharon back to the past.

That day, Shawn had just arrived at the Cruz's residence. Since he had nothing to do, he would pick up Sharon every day after school. He never entered the school compound. Instead, he stayed not far away from the school while he leaned against a tree, patiently waited for her.

Time overlapped, as well as the two figures from the past and present. It felt sentimental.

Seeing that, Sharon softened her heart. Then she slowly walked over and called out, "Shawn..."

Shawn looked up and saw her. With a smile, "Did you run here? Why are you sweating so much?"

"It's nothing." Sharon tugged at her clothes. "Why are you looking for me at this hour?"

"I came here to apologize for what happened last time." Shawn looked at her eyes. "The words I said must have made you angry, right? I heard that Stanley has returned. It seems that he's fine now?"

Sharon replied that Stanley was doing fine.

After that, she pursed her lips with a guilty expression. "If you're apologizing, then I have to do the same. I'm sorry for slapping you last time. I'm really sorry, Shawn."

"Don't be silly." Looking down with a smile, Shawn continued, "Even if you had stabbed me, I wouldn't blame you, let alone just one slap."

Baffled, Sharon did not expect that he would say such a thing. Looking at his distinct facial features, she suddenly blurted out, "Shawn, I'm pregnant..."
