Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 289

Dear? A nickname between lovers?

Stanley listened quietly and didn't say anything to disturb her while he just lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it.

However, her voice was extremely soft, as if she was afraid that he would hear her. At that moment, her tone was gentle, and her side profile was beautiful. There was a soft smile that could be seen, and even her eyes were glowing.

As Stanley stared at her, his gaze gradually grew colder.

At that moment, Sharon casually raised her head and saw the man who was standing on the balcony. Startled, she immediately straightened her body and subconsciously hung up the phone.

In the darkness of the night, she could not see the man's expression clearly, and she could only vaguely see a deep outline of his body.

As she licked the corner of her lips, she stood up and asked, "Uh, you're done with your call?"

With a faint voice, Stanley took a smoke on his cigarette and replied, "Yes." However, just as Sharon walked closer, he blew out a puff of smoke on her face. That frivolous and impolite act caused her to choke and cough.

Subtly, she looked at him and asked, "You said you wanted to quit smoking before, so why are you smoking again?"

As he glanced at the cigarette in his hand, his brows arched. "I've said it before?"

"Indeed." Hurriedly, Sharon nodded and continued, "You once said smoking is not good for your health, and even if it's not for your own sake, you will still quit smoking for the sake of me."

As he pursed his lips, he explained, "Miss Cruz, I really don't remember the past at all. I don't know if I should believe what you had just said."

However, Sharon knew that for him, she was currently nothing but a stranger. No one would believe a stranger's words.

"I understand." In agreement, Sharon nodded her head. "If you don't believe me, you can take things one step at a time. In the future, you will know if I am telling the truth or not."

Hearing her words, Stanley took a deep look at her without uttering a word.

Suddenly, Sharon burst into laughter. "I bet you must be really curious about what happened to you in the past. If there's anything that you want to know more about, feel free to ask me. I will definitely tell you everything that I know."

At that moment, she thought that a person who had amnesia would definitely be curious and eager to know about their past. Especially for a man like Stanley with an extremely strong sense of pride, he would definitely be curious.

As soon as she finished her words, she looked at him expectantly and waited for him to ask her.

However, Stanley had a calm expression on his face. "To be honest, I am not really curious about what happened in the past. Besides, I am living a good life now. I have my own career, my own lovely partner, and a bright future. Those things of the past have nothing to do with me anymore."

That answer left Sharon dumbfounded. It was something that she never thought that he would be thinking of.

After she looked at him in a daze, she began to panic. Although she could accept that he had lost his memory and did not know her, she could even accept that he was indifferent to her; she could not accept that he did not want to know what had happened to him in the past.

With his current attitude, it clearly seemed that he wanted to forget everything about the past and restart his life!

In a trance, Sharon stared at him, and her eyes became a little red. It was then when she realized that she had been standing strong for four years. Throughout these four years, she had rarely cried, as if she had finished her tears on the day when he had disappeared. But now... four years later, she found him again, and she turned back into the woman who cried often.

As soon as Stanley saw tears welling up in her eyes, he immediately stood up straight, with a trace of nervousness in his eyes. "What are you doing?"

When she cried, he suddenly remembered that when he saw her for the first time, he told her that he could no longer remember the past, and her tears started to stream down her face...

That was not a good feeling at all.

"Miss Cruz, I don't know how to comfort girls, and I don't know how to stop you from crying, so please don't cry." Politely, Stanley uttered these words, but his brows were tightly furrowed, as if her crying caused him a lot of trouble.

Hearing those words, Sharon took a glance at him but was hurt by his expression. Immediately, she sniffed and nodded, "Okay, I won't cry..."

Since he no longer remembered her anymore, so she didn't want to do anything that would make him despise her.

Meanwhile, Stanley looked at Sharon, and she was acting as if she had suffered a lot but was not allowed to complain, which made him feel as if he bullied her. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As he frowned and put out the cigarette in his hand. "Let's go then."

Those words left Sharon dumbfounded. "W-What?"

"Since you're already sober, I'll take you home."

Was he trying to drive her away?

Hearing this, Sharon immediately pressed her hands on her stomach and said, "Well, I'm feeling a bit unwell. Can I head to the washroom first?"

Of course, there was no way she would leave. It was not easy for her to have entered his house, and how could she just leave like that?!

At that moment, she knew she had to pester him until he could remember her!

Meanwhile, Stanley looked at her and narrowed his eyes as he tried to guess what this woman was trying to do.

"My stomach hurts so much. I can't stand it anymore. Where's the washroom?" Sharon clutched her stomach and ran upstairs. "Is it the second floor?"

Looking at her actions, Stanley was speechless.

It was the first time that he saw a woman being so pretentious in front of a man.

With a sigh, he raised his head and pointed to the second floor, "It's the first room on the second floor after you turn left."

Immediately, Sharon thanked him and hurried upstairs.

As soon as she entered the washroom, she sat on the toilet bowl and took her phone to call her assistant Mark and said, "I won't be going back today, but don't you stay out too late. Besides, for tomorrow's work, you guys can go first. If they need a shot of me, you can let Norissa go first."

On the other end of the phone, Mark shouted, "Miss Cruz, where are you going if you're not coming back?"

"Mind your own business!" Hearing his question, Sharon chided him and then hung up the phone.

As soon as she hung up the phone, she called Howard again. As a result, although the line was connected, no one answered the call, so Sharon had to give up.

After dawdling in the bathroom for a long time and seeing that it was only 9:30 p.m., Sharon took her time to walk out of the washroom. However, when she went out, she saw the man that was leaning against the wall.

As he placed one of his hands into his pocket lazily, he asked, "Are you done?"

Hearing his question, Sharon nodded and answered, "I'm done, and my whole body feels good."

Meanwhile, Stanley asked again, "... So can I send you home now?"

Instantly, Sharon changed the topic and said, "Well, I haven't drunk the water you gave me yet. I'll go and drink it first."

Then she went downstairs, took the cup, and drank the water very slowly. As she drank the water, she looked at the man who followed her downstairs, as she tried to think about what kind of excuse she could use to stay.

After slowly drinking the glass of water for ten minutes, she finally finished it. Once she finished drinking, Stanley raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything else that you need to do?"

"Ahem." At that moment, Sharon cleared her throat and said, "There's indeed one more thing."

Coldly, Stanley looked at her and uttered, "Miss Cruz, please go ahead."

"I'm hungry, and I'm suddenly in high spirits to cook. Why don't you have a seat first while I prepare supper for you so that you can have a taste of my cooking, and I can repay you for saving the damsel in distress tonight." Cheerfully, Sharon answered. Without waiting for the man's reply, she ran into the kitchen after saying, "That's decided then! I'll go and prepare some food for you."

It left Stanley speechless.

The man in the living room looked at the busy figure in the open- air kitchen and had a feeling of driving her away, but he had no idea how to get rid of her.
