Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 10

"Ahem."

Stanley, who had always been calm and composed, was startled by her question and coughed. He frowned and glared at her.

Finally realizing what was going on, Sharon blushed and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong!"

"This is the question that my friends in the group chat are willing to pay for it!" Sharon whined inside her.

"Why does he look at me as if he is looking at a lecher? I am a pure-hearted little girl inside!" she thought.

"I just want to know more about you. After all, you are my husband. As your wife, I have to learn about my husband's past, right?"

Everyone liked to listen to good words, including Stanley.

When she addressed him as her husband, of course he didn't find it repulsive .

Her voice was soft as she called him husband, stirring a ripple in his heart, like a feather sweeping across the surface of a calm lake, causing a tiny ripple.

As the sound of running water was coming from the bathroom, Sharon sat on the sofa and wiped her hair. Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang. She glanced at the caller ID and answered immediately, "Dr. Dixon, why are you looking for me at such a late hour?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. I would like to inform you as usual that the payment for the hospital bill is due soon, so..."

Money was a sensitive subject even after they had known each other for a year. Zack Dixon hemmed and hawed on the phone.

Sharon knew this from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, I know. Thank you, Dr. Dixon."

Hanging up the phone, Sharon sighed. Two years ago, her father had a car accident, and the expensive medical expenses almost drove her insane. Stanley came out of nowhere, rescued her from the troubled waters, and helped her get rid of the predicament.

After that, she married him, and he took care of all her father's medical expenses.

Sharon didn't want to know why he wanted to marry an ordinary girl like her, nor did she want to waste her brain capacity to take a guess.

As long as her father was alive, that was enough.

As for whether it was a passionless marriage or not, Sharon did not care.

Love...

"Haha, what's love? Can I eat it?"

Turning on the TV casually and switching through the channels, Sharon was surprised that there was no trace of Stanley and Jewel's news everywhere. It had been completely deleted.

She glanced toward the bathroom. If the man intervened in it, it proved that his power was enormous and scary.

It only took him one day to suppress all the major TV stations and forbid them to broadcast his scandals.

This man had great and extraordinary power.

Stanley came out of the bathroom with only a bath towel casually tied around his masculine waist. His tight wheat- colored skin was exposed, showing his shapely muscle lines. Years of military life had made his sculpted body perfect with flat and obvious abdominal muscles, as well as those seductive firm abs.

Sharon swallowed and thought, "What a stunner!"

Even though she had slept with this man for a year, she still couldn't help but blush when she saw such an erotic scene.

Stanley looked up and walked over. "You haven't slept yet?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Sharon shook her head. "I'm waiting for you."

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows. "Can't you sleep without me?"

His words were flirtatious and teasing. There was even a hint of frivolous in his tone. Sharon could not help but curse him in her heart!

However, she donned a sweet smile on her fair face. "Well, I can't sleep without you. I got used to it."

Stanley walked over, bent down, and carried her up. Sharon then hooked her arms around his neck and snuggled into his embrace like a timid little girl. She licked her lips and said after a slight hesitation, "Just now... Dr. Dixon called me."

Stanley saw through her little thoughts almost at a glance. "So that's why you waited for me? Just to tell me this?"

Hiss...

"He's so vicious!"

"I can't believe he could actually see me through."

Knowing that it was useless to explain herself, Sharon leaned against his chest that was exuding the shower gel fragrance and simply admitted, "Yes."
