Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 473

As Sharon broke free of Stanley, he silently narrowed his dark eyes and frowned in displeasure.

Standing on the side, she did not look at him at all as though he was not present.

Two days ago, they had a quarrel and had not been talking to each other until now.

Suppressing her anger, Sharon pressed the corners of her mouth and didn't want to get too close to him.

On the other side, Ariah and Liam were on the verge of a fight. Both of them had explosive tempers, and neither of them would let the other off. Liam wasn't a gentlemanly individual, while Ariah couldn't stand a pervert like him, so the two of them were desperate to get rid of each other.

Sharon was afraid that they would start fighting, so she immediately stood between the two, "Why are you staring at each other? Be a gentleman, Liam. Is there a need to bicker with Ariah? If you hurt my injured part, my two children won't let you go!"

At the same time, Seamus and Sadie were observing them by the side with their dark eyes

wide open.

In this case, no matter how much Liam and Ariah hated each other, they would try to control themselves.

Even if they did not care about Sharon, they still could not just fight before the two innocent children.

Flicking the water droplets off his clothes, Liam said, "Fine, I won't argue with you. Don't ever try to provoke me next time. Even if you're Jimmy's wife, I still won't let you go if you dare to challenge me!"

In response, Ariah rolled her eyes and yelled, "Jimmy has nothing to do with me now. We're already divorced!"

"What?!"

Instantly, shock vibrated through Sharon's body as she stared at Ariah in disbelief.

Even Stanley and Liam could not accept what they had just heard, for they quickly turned their heads to look at Ariah.

Ariah felt uncomfortable under their stares, as if she had done something disgraceful. Therefore, she glared at them with a frown. "What are you looking at? That man is not a good husband, which was why I divorced him. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Jimmy was not a good husband?

Upon hearing the words, Liam couldn't hold back any longer. "You already knew that he kept a mistress outside?"

Stunned, she sneered coldly. Everyone knew that Jimmy had another woman out there, and only a fool like her would think of getting back together with him.

Rubbing his temples, Stanley looked at Liam, warning him not to utter anything. Therefore, Liam shrugged his shoulders and stop giving any comments.

"You can rest here tonight." Stanley's gaze shifted toward Sharon, but she turned her head and stared at the wall instead. The veins on Stanley's forehead were bulging as he suppressed his anger. "I'll get someone to send dinner to you later. I believe that the two of you have a lot of things to say, so I won't disturb you."

After that, he gave Liam a push and motioned for him to scram. Upon taking the car keys, he said a few words to the two kids and stepped out of the house.

He moved so swiftly that he didn't even glance at Sharon.

Seeing how heartless he was, Sharon bit her lips hard.

Obviously, Seamus sensed the awkward atmosphere among the adults. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mom, Dad said there's something that he needs to deal with. He told you not to worry as he'll be back soon."

Sharon harrumphed upon hearing that.

Ariah had something on her mind, so she didn't notice the conflict between Sharon and Stanley. It wasn't until Sharon gave her a glass of water that she came to her senses. "No, thanks."

Perhaps she was still not thirsty.

Since Ariah did not move, Sharon had no choice but to put the glass aside. "Ariah, have you really divorced Jimmy?"

"Yes."

"Are you serious?"

Sharon wondered whether it was because the two of them had a quarrel again. Did Ariah make the decision out of rage?

Silently, Ariah directly took out the divorce certificate, which shocked Sharon.

How could she get a divorce so fast?

Startled, Sharon was speechless for a moment and did not know what to reply. After a long while, she opened her mouth and said, "I..." "I am okay."

Ariah interrupted her very brusquely.

Sharon sighed because she would never be as determined as Ariah, who could be assertive and ruthless in certain aspects. She was not sure whether she could be as calm as Ariah if the same problem befell her.

"We don't need to rely on another person to continue our lives." That was what Ariah had always said.

Therefore, without Jimmy, Ariah would still be able to lead a wonderful life.

Soon, it was time for bed, and Stanley had not come back, although Sharon had gone to the hallway and checked for several times.

At around 10 p.m., Stanley gave them a call, but it was Seamus who picked up the phone.

"Where are you now? Mom is so anxious."

That rendered her speechless.

What did he mean by that? She was not anxious at all!

She didn't know what Stanley had mentioned on the other end of the phone because Seamus suddenly asked, "Really?"

After a while, Seamus put down the phone and told Sharon, "Dad said he's not coming back tonight because he's at Grandma's house. He asked us to go to bed early. Don't wait for him."

Sharon stared at him blankly for a while before she nodded. "Alright, let's go then. You and Sadie can take a bath first."

Around 11 p.m., the children slept in one rom, while Sharon and Ariah slept in the other.

In the middle of the night, Sharon was woken up by a sob. As she lost her drowsiness, she rubbed her eyes and realized something shocking.

Ariah was crying.

Sharon didn't dare to move, for she was afraid that she would disturb Ariah, which could be quite embarrassing.

To retain her dignity, Ariah could pretend to be indifferent in front of everyone, but she was still vulnerable when she was alone.

Sharon did not dare to breathe heavily either. Pretending that she did not hear that, she closed her eyes to make herself sleep.

When she woke up the next day, there was no one by her side. Just then, she heard some voices outside, so she got up to take a look. Ariah and the two children were happily watching television. There was a smile on Ariah's face as if the sobbing sound she heard last night was merely a dream.

Sharon had spent the entire day with Ariah, who had just divorced her husband, or else something might happen to Ariah.

She used to believe that Ariah would be okay, but what happened last night indicated that Ariah was quite fragile deep down in her heart.

At night, she received a call from Liam. "Sharon, I'm with Stanley now. He's entertaining a few ladies by my side. Are you interested in coming over to take a look?"

Sharon's first reaction was to curse this person who tried to sow discord. She would not be so stupid as to be tricked by him.

Since she remained silent, Liam added, "Besides, Jimmy is also having fun with a few young, beautiful ladies. Are you sure you don't want to come over?"
