Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 299

However, Stanley wasn't an idiot, and when Sharon said "Sadie Cruz, that's enough", he immediately understood her words and looked at the little girl in his arms.

Meanwhile, her long eyelashes were still teary, and her little face was red as an apple. With her small hands still clutching onto his shirt by the chest, there was a sense of guilt in her eyes, but she was diffident.

At that moment, Stanley blurted out, "Why are you yelling at her for? She did nothing wrong."

When Sadie heard this, she was overjoyed. What was there for her to be afraid of when someone was backing her up?

In extreme anger, Sharon yelled, "Can't you see she was faking it?"

"Those tears are real, and it was true that she fell and hurt herself. Why would you say she's faking it?"

That question left Sharon rendered speechless.

Speechless, Sharon just stared at him.

However, Seamus also suddenly tugged onto her hand. Of course, as a protective brother, he stood on his sister's side without any hesitation. "Mommy, don't be like this. Sadie might have really hurt herself from the fall."

When Sharon saw how both of them were supportive of Sadie, her chest ached from anger.

How did she suddenly become the bad person here?

However, Seamus was good at taking one's cue, and he soon realized that Sharon was upset. Immediately, he took her hand and led her outside. "Mommy, let's hurry home. I'm hungry."

The little boy's capability to change the subject was superb.

Meanwhile, Stanley squinted at the little boy, and the corners of his mouth curled upward as he trailed along.

Once again, Sadie, who was lying in Stanley's embrace, was rescued by her brother. At that moment, Stanley pinched her little face and asked, "Were you really putting on an act just now?"

With a hint of guilt, Sadie whined, "Daddy..."

"Be honest with me, children cannot lie."

With a straight face on, Stanley seemed a little scary. In fact, he was used to acting like this in front of his subordinates, and he forgot he was currently talking to a child. The moment his face darkened a little, Sadie's mouth twitched. "Daddy, don't be so fierce to me. I'm scared..."

The little girl's eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked so pitiful. Instantly, Stanley surrendered and forced a smile. "I didn't mean to scold you. I'm just telling you that it's not good to lie."

After Sadie heard his answer, she sniffed her nose, and she seemed to be convinced. Then, she nodded and explained, "I feel very happy when you comfort me. However, if I stop crying, I'm afraid you will stop comforting me...

Although she was only three years old and some of her sentences were not well organized, when Stanley heard it, he immediately understood what she meant. When he came to his senses, he was dumbfounded again.

Since she was a child, she had never experienced a father's love, and now that suddenly there was a person who was worried about her, it was normal for her to be more delicate.

As Stanley thought about it, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything. Instead, he held Sadie in his arms tightly and followed closely.

Meanwhile, his assistant had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw them coming out of the hospital, he immediately got out of the car. "Mr. Warner, someone from Hectary Company just called and made an appointment for dinner."

Then, Stanley nodded his head as an indication that he understood it.

When Sharon heard those words, she immediately came up and said, "What dinner are you going to attend? Aren't you going to send us back?"

In fact, she knew Hectary Company well, and that boss was simply a sex maniac. Besides, his work style was extremely bad, and he had a habit of visiting brothels.

As Stanley glanced at her, he uttered, "When did I say I was going to send you home?"

Before Sharon could say anything, Sadie opened her mouth first, as she blinked her big innocent eyes and asked, "Daddy, why are you not sending us back?"

How was Stanley supposed to answer her question?

Meanwhile, Sharon silently snorted as she thought to herself, "You don't have the ability to resist this little girl, right? I shall now see how are you going to deal with her."

With Sadie's big sparkling eyes that were almost shining as she stared at him like that, he couldn't even reject her.

With a sigh, Stanley uttered, "Let's go. I'll send you back."

"Yay!"

Excitedly, Sadie cheered.

Then, Stanley gave a pat on her butt and shoved her into Sharon's arms. "Let your mother take the both of you to your seat."

The series of actions were done in an extremely natural manner. When the assistant watched from the side, he was dumbfounded. That overflowing paternal love was from the bottom of Stanley's heart, and if one were to say that Stanley was not related to these two children, he definitely would not believe it.

Seated the passenger seat, Sharon showed Stanley the way to her house while her two children sat in the back seat and played with her phone.

"Why did you come to Beachmarsh City?" While they were waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Sharon asked. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As Stanley looked steadily forward, he answered, "I'm here to handle some of my work. I'll be leaving once I'm done."

Unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes, Sharon glanced at him. "So soon?"

"There are still some other things that I need to deal with back at Allgate City." The answer from Stanley was very obscure because the "things" that he meant was his marriage with Ayana.

There was only one month left before the wedding, and they were still a lot of things they needed to prepare.

When Sharon heard what he said, she almost froze, and she seemed somewhat absentminded. As she leaned by the window, she turned to look out of the window and continued the journey in silence.

The environment in the neighborhood was not bad, but it was not a particularly good residential area. Since her father had gotten into trouble and Stanley had gone missing four years ago, Sharon had moved out from that villa.

This residential area was found by Melody for her back then. It was not too expensive, and the environment was quite good, so Sharon had been living there for the last four years.

When they reached her place, Sharon found a pair of slippers and gave them to Stanley, who stood outside the door. "Come on in. I'm sorry that my house is a little messy."

At that moment, she was slightly embarrassed because her place had not been really tidy since she gave birth. Toys were scattered all over the sofa and the floor of the living room. Hurriedly, Sharon cleaned them up out of embarrassment and poured him a glass of water.

Meanwhile, Stanley took a look around the house and realized that although the area was not big, it was indeed warm and cozy.

As soon as the two children reached home, they sat on the ground and played happily. After Sharon prepared the medicine for Sadie and fed it to her, she then went to the kitchen to continue her chores. The plates that they used the night before were left in the sink, yet to be washed.

When Stanley looked at her busy figure from the moment she walked in, his eyes grew darker.

After Sharon was done with the dishes in the kitchen, she came out to take a look and was taken aback for a moment. "Where is him?"

As Seamus looked up, he pointed at the balcony. "Over there."

Since when did he shift from the living room to the balcony? After thinking for a moment, Sharon walked over and opened the balcony door. Immediately, a pungent smell of smoke attacked her nose.

"Ahem."

As soon as she coughed, Stanley lifted his long arms and instantly closed the door behind him.

It was then when Sharon glanced at the cigarette in his hand as she lowered her eyes and said nothing. During her last trip to Allgate City was when she discovered that this man had started smoking again.

Then, she remembered four years ago, when he said that he would quit smoking for her...

"Miss Cruz." Just as she was thinking about the past, Stanley's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

With her head raised, she asked, "Yes?"

"I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the matter between us."

Calmly, Sharon nodded. "All right, go ahead."

After Stanley inhaled his cigarette and exhaled slowly, he gazed deeply at the siblings who were playing in the living room. Slowly, he squinted his narrow eyes and said, "Are they really my kids?"
