Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 309

Sharon took a deep breath and reminded herself not to lose her temper again.

She then glared at Stanley, hinting at him not to go too far, but the man merely gave her an innocent smile.

Sharon was speechless.

Just as she was about to change the subject, Sadie suddenly asked.

"Mommy, is Daddy telling the truth? Are you guys really just playing?"

In order to maintain her image of a good mother, Sharon had no choice but to agree. "Yeah, we were just playing."

Seamus glanced at her, then said, "Good that you weren't serious. Mom, you scared me just now." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Even Seamus thought so. With a sigh, Sharon pursed her lips. She had never been so angry in front of the kids, so it was normal for them to be afraid.

Then, Sadie blinked her big, innocent-looking eyes. "Mommy, is Daddy going to hit you too?"

Gosh, Sadie still remembered what Stanley had said just now.

Of course not! Before Sharon could blurt it out, her wrist was suddenly circled and she was dragged over. Losing her balance, she almost fell. Fortunately, the man beside her embraced her, so she didn't fall down and make a fool of herself.

Jeez, pretentious man!

When she was about to push him away, his deep voice sounded above her head. "Of course, I'll have to. Otherwise, it won't be a fair game for Daddy. Don't you think so?"

Sadie cheered, "Yes, Daddy!"

Sharon cursed silently in her heart. It had only been a few days, and now Sadie was already on Stanley's side... Suddenly, she realized something and looked at him in shock.

Wh-what did he just say?

Did he just call himself 'Daddy'?

Yesterday, he even doubted whether the twins were his children or not. And now, his attitude had suddenly changed?

Just as Sharon was suspicious, Stanley's gaze fell on her. His face was filled with delight. "Why are you in a daze? Come back to earth. I'm gonna pay it back now!"

D*mn it!

He even announced it so seriously that he was gonna hit her back!

How dare he!

Sharon glared at him with a warning look.

However, Stanley ignored her angry look and raised his hand... Seeing that, she cursed lightly and quickly shut her eyes in reflex.

His hand then landed on her face, but the pain she imagined didn't come. Instead, it was just a gentle touch.

Swiftly, she opened her eyes and stared into his smiling, pitch-black eyes.

So, he didn't beat her?

Jeez, she thought that he was really going to seek revenge for the slap just now.

"Well, I don't think a small body like you would be able to handle my blows, so I'll do it next time." Stanley looked as if he was being merciful. "Remember, you owe me a slap. If you upset me one day, I'll make you pay it back."

After that, he caressed her face again. This time, he exerted a little more force. She took a deep breath and pushed his hand away. "Ouch, it hurts!"

Actually, it didn't hurt at all, but she thought that she should keep a distance from him because her heart started to race.

Getting out of his grip, Sharon sat down beside the children and took out a napkin to wipe their mouths, without glancing at him again.

Seeing that, Stanley just narrowed his eyes at her, then pulled out a chair to sit down.

Before he left the villa, he found their marriage certificate in his study room. It was hidden in a drawer that was out of sight. If he hadn't look carefully, he wouldn't have found it at all.

Looking at the woman sitting opposite him, Stanley raised his eyebrows. So, was this woman really his wife?

Before he lost his memory, he actually liked this kind of young lady?

He thought that he liked the kind that was generous and sensible, like Ayana.

"Daddy, why are you staring at Mommy all the time?"

Sadie's soft voice rang out between the two adults. Immediately, Sharon's body stiffened and she blushed inexplicably, drooping her head even further.

"Ahem." Stanley cleared his throat. He was merely looking at her openly, but when Sadie said it, it just sounded different.

"The two of them just had some dessert.

They haven't eaten supper yet." He changed the subject. "Why don't we go and have supper now?"

Indeed, it was time for dinner, and the family of four went around to look for a place to dine.

There were restaurants inside the mall and Sharon quickly picked a random one. While waiting for the food, she remembered something and asked, "How did you know where the kids go to school?"

Stanley took a sip of tea and glanced at her before answering, "There's nothing that I don't know about."

What an arrogant man!

Sharon rolled her eyes.

Slowly, the dishes were served. Sharon had taught the twins manners well and they ate their meals quietly, without being picky. Seeing that, Stanley admired her silently, though he looked indifferent.

When they were about to finish eating, Sharon went to the washroom. Coming out, she stood behind and watched the kids playing together with Stanley. The scene was quite heart-warming and Stanley was particularly patient in answering all kinds of questions coming from them.

After watching for quite a while, Sharon finally interrupted. "Come on, let's go back now."

Stanley nodded and stood up. "You take them out first. I'll go pay the bill."

Sharon led the children outside while saying, "There's no need to. I've already paid the bill."

Stanley paused and his eyes narrowed slightly. Staring deeply at her, he asked slowly, "You've paid the bill?"

"Yep."

Stanley's gaze deepened. "Of all the women whom I went out with, you're the first to pay for the bill."

Hearing his words, Sharon stopped and turned back to him. "Of all the women? Just how many women have you gone out with?"

As soon as she said that, she could sense the jealousy in her tone, so naturally, Stanley stared at her with a teasing look. Sharon bit her lips, feeling that she had lost her face, and she quickly left with the children.

Stanley looked at her back, while his lips curled into an amused smile.

He was just making an analogy. Of course, he had never been out with many women. But it was fun to see her getting jealous.

Later, Sharon led the children strolling around the mall, with Stanley following behind. When they arrived on the second floor, Sadie pulled her hand and said, "Mommy, I want to eat ice cream."

"No, we just had dinner." Sharon had always paid special attention to what they eat because back then, the twins were really malnourished and they were quite weak. Over the past few years, Sharon had finally managed to feed them well.

Hearing that, Sadie immediately pursed her lips. "Mommy, you don't love me anymore."
