Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 155

Rebecca looked at him knowingly and asked, "Did you think I wanted to commit suicide just now?"

Stanley frowned.

Indeed, when he came in and saw that half of her body was outside the window, the blowing wind seeming to be able to take her away, he couldn't help but think that way.

"I won't. Don't worry!" Rebecca threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly. "It's not easy for me to see you again. How can I commit suicide? Even if I don't want to live, I have to live for you."

"What do you mean even if you don't want to live?"

Stanley squinted.

Rebecca smiled faintly. "Nothing. It's just a casual remark. Don't take it seriously."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No."

"Didn't Howard prepare it for you?"

"When I got up, he had already gone out."

Stanley pulled her up from the ground and said, "I'll take you to lunch."

Rebecca was very happy and hugged his arm tightly. "Where should we go? Shall we go to the restaurant we used to go to? But it's been so many years. That small restaurant should have been demolished."

"Yes," he replied flatly.

Rebecca looked up at him, looking at his determined chin, handsome facial features, and deep light flashed in her eyes. "Do you... still visit the restaurant by yourself after I 'died'?"

Stanley didn't want to pursue the subject though. "Let's have lunch first."

"Stanley!" Rebecca stood still, her eyes were red. "Have you led a miserable life after I 'died'?"

Stanley said calmly, "It's all in the past..."

"After you left yesterday, Howard talked with me for a long time. He said that in the first few years of my "death", you had an awful life. You were also very decadent, and you suffered a lot... Stanley, I will never leave you again."

After Rebecca said that, she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry for keeping this a secret from you these years, but I don't dare to contact you. I'm afraid that when your father finds out..."

At this point, she could no longer continue.

Stanley patted her on the shoulder. "I can understand your situation and your thoughts. I don't blame you, so don't blame yourself."

"Why are you so good to me?" Rebecca was moved, and her tears fell uncontrollably. "The more you act like this, the more regretful I am for not contacting you earlier. I should contact you even if I have to risk being discovered by your father."

She bit her lip and said, "I came back secretly this time. Your father didn't know that I came back to Beachmarsh City, so he certainly couldn't guess that I had the guts to come back. C-Can you

protect me? I'm afraid that your father will do something bad to me. I don't want to leave you anymore."

Stanley's eyes turned cold, but he smiled at her and said, "Don't be silly. Of course I'll protect you. Don't worry, no one can hurt you this time."

Rebecca smiled.

Stanley looked at her familiar face. She still looked the same as seven years ago.

"I'll take you to lunch first," Stanley looked away and said.

Rebecca nodded. "Okay, let's go."

Sharon went to the hospital and visited her father. He was still unconscious.

She sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with her father for a while. When she went out, she didn't expect to meet Evonne, who was sneaking around.

Sharon stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Evonne saw that she was furious and smiled instead. "Sharon, I'm not here to look for your father, but to look for you."

Sharon looked at her coldly. "I have nothing to say to you."

"Don't be like this. After all, I'm your mother. I was pregnant with you for nine months and gave birth to you. You can't..."

"I'm your daughter? If so, why did you abandon my father and me and be with another man?" Sharon roared, "God is watching our every move. When my father got into the accident, I begged

you to help me. You should have thought that that was the end of our relationship after you ruthlessly refused to help me!"

Her loud voice attracted the attention of others. Evonne grimaced awkwardly and wanted to chide her, but she suppressed her anger when she remembered the purpose of today's visit.

"Sharon, do you think I didn't want to help you?"

Evonne lowered her voice and reached out to pull her. "I wanted to help Reuben! Do you think I didn't want to help him? Even if I have no feelings for him, I have lived with him for so many years."

Sharon waved her hand away and looked at her coldly. "If so, why didn't you help him then?"

"Although I married Cecilia's father, I didn't have any official title for the first few years until four or five years ago when he officially married me. Back then, I only joined the Casey family for a few years, and I didn't have much pocket money except for the daily living expenses. My hands were tied when your father got into the accident. I tried to borrow money from Jordan, but he said that I had nothing to do with Reuben already so I shouldn't help him. Besides, you know how costly your father's medical bills are. It's a bottomless pit..."

"I can help you once, but can I help you every time?" The more Evonne said, the more worked up she became. "You might resent me more if I stop helping you after once or twice, so I might as well not do anything at all in the first place and let you hate me from the beginning!"

Sharon was expressionless. "Are you going to whitewash yourself now? When my father needed money and help the most, not only did you not help us but you also ran away from me. You said that I might resent you for not helping me after once or twice... Evonne Murray, am I really this kind of person? How can you not know what kind of a person your daughter is after giving birth to me?"

Evonne was stunned. "Sharon..."

"Don't call my name!" Sharon tried to hold back her tears. "Since I am an ungrateful bad woman in your heart, so be it. There's nothing to hide anymore. From now on, my father and I have nothing to do with you. Please don't come to disturb us again!"

Evonne was anxious. "Sharon, it's my fault. I shouldn't have misinterpreted you like that. I'm too narrow- minded. Don't say such a thing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done to your father and you!"

Sharon took two steps back, keeping a distance from Evonne. "I've made it clear. Please leave now."

"Sharon!" Evonne shouted her name and knelt down in front of her. "If you don't agree to my request today, I will never leave!"

Sharon was stunned. "What are you doing? Get up!"

Evonne shook her head. "No, I won't!"

The people around had begun to stop and point at them. Sharon was annoyed. "Then what on earth do you want?"

"I shouldn't have let Cecilia treat you like that last time. She has been spoiled since she was a child and is disrespectful. If you can't forgive her, I'll let her come over and apologize to you personally."

Evonne had been kneeling on the ground and did not stand up. "Sharon, when we gave birth to you, we hoped that you will grow up to be kind and gracious. C-Can you go and talk to Mr. Jones, please?"

Sharon frowned. "What Mr. Jones? I don't know what you're talking about."

"The man who stood up for you last time in the ward. I didn't recognize him at first and only realized who he is later."

Sharon was suddenly enlightened. It turned out that Evonne came here today for this purpose.

She smiled and said, "Then you may have misunderstood. I have nothing to do with that man. He helped me that day because he happened to see me being bullied, so he did what he did.'

She didn't want Evonne to assume that Stanley and she were very close and start to speculate the things between them.

Evonne frowned when she saw that Sharon did not admit it. "Don't lie to me. If he has nothing to do with you, how could he help you? I don't believe you!"

"That's your business whether to believe or not. He really has nothing to do with me."

As more and more people gathered around, Sharon planned to leave this place.

"Stop right there!" Seeing that Sharon was about to leave, Evonne suddenly stood up, grabbed her hand, and blurted out, "One time, Cecilia saw you get into a luxury car with a very unique license plate. Another time, she saw you go to a luxurious restaurant with a man. Sharon Cruz, don't tell me you don't want to admit that you have a sugar daddy!"

When Sharon heard this, she was unexpectedly calm. Perhaps she had been disappointed too many times, so no matter how harsh Evonne's remarks were, she could treat it calmly.

"You believe whatever Cecilia says unconditionally but you think I'm lying, don't you?" Sharon looked at her calmly. "I told you, I don't know Stanley Jones. If you want to find him, please go to his secretary to make an appointment to see him. Let me go. I have something to do and I don't have time to chat with you."

Evonne clung to her wrist tightly, and her expression gradually became ferocious. "Sharon, are you really so vicious? Although Cecilia beat you the other day, she was also punished. Can't you let the Casey family and Cascade Enterprise go? Can't you spare us?"

Sharon was stunned. "What does this have to do with Cascade Enterprise?"

"After leaving the hospital that day, Cascade Enterprise was attacked by a company none other than Jones Group."

Sharon suddenly remembered receiving such a call from Cecilia and scolded her for complaining to Stanley and asking Stanley to make a move on Cascade Enterprise. Back then, she couldn't be bothered about it. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

So... it really happened?

Had Stanley been secretly making a move on the Casey Family and Cascade Enterprise?

Why did he help her so much? He did the same when Harvey kidnapped her. He didn't even care about his own life and pointed a gun at his own head.

She had never asked him why he did that and why he treated her so well. Perhaps it was because she was afraid of getting an answer that would disappoint her.

On the day Harvey kidnapped her, Stanley didn't care about his own life...
