Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 509

In the Jones Group.

When Anthony's call came in, Stanley was attending a video conference. At first, Stanley had no intention of answering, but he thought that if Anthony called at this time, it must've meant that he had something important to inform.

Then, he paused the meeting and went out to answer the phone. "I told you to protect Sharon secretly. Did anything happen to her?"

"Uh, Madam is fine."

"Then why did you call me?"

When Anthony hesitated if he should tell him what he saw, Stanley lost his patience and said, "Say it!"

"Yes sir, Madam just came out of the cemetery."

"A cemetery?"

With a frown, Stanley asked. "What for?"

"After Madam left, I went to find the staff who met her. It seemed that she was going to buy a tombstone for Shawn."

When Anthony finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Boss?"

Anthony still didn't hear an answer after a long time, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

Only a moment later, Stanley spoke nonchalantly, "Okay, I get it." And after a pause, he asked, "Where is she now?"

"I think she went to look for Miss Myers."

"Follow her closely. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

"Yes, boss."

Meanwhile, Ariah poured a cup of tea for Sharon and sat down opposite her. "You don't look well. Here's some flower tea, and it has a calming effect. Why don't you have some?" Then, Sharon picked up her cup and took a sip. "Ariah, I've come to see you this time because I have something to ask you."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me then."

"I want to borrow some money from you."

"Ahem..."

When Ariah heard what Sharon said, she had just taken a sip of hot tea, and it caused her to choke and cough.

"Ariah, are you alright?" Extremely embarrassed, Sharon explained, "I was just casually asking. If your hands are tight, just pretend that I didn't say anything, and don't take it to heart." After a moment of silence, Ariah took a deep breath and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"Hold on."

Immediately, Ariah sprung up and ran towards her bedroom. After a while, she took out a card and said, "Here, there's three hundred thousand in the card. Use it, and leave the rest in the card."

It left Sharon tongue-tied when Ariah had given her three hundred thousand without a second thought, and she was a little shocked.

"I coughed not because you wanted to borrow money from me but because I'm surprised that you didn't have any money on your hands?" As Ariah laid back on the sofa and held a cup in her hand, she asked, "Stanley has such a huge company, and his net worth is shockingly high, yet you don't even have two hundred thousand?"

"Although I haven't gone back to work yet, I still have tens of thousands of savings with me. Usually, I would go out with Stanley to buy things, he would always be the one who pays, so my savings were always left untouched. However, today, I went to the cemetery to look for a piece of land, and I didn't have enough money, so I had to come and borrow from you."

"Cemetery? What did you go there for?"

At that moment, Sharon thought, and hesitated whether to say it or not. But when she remembered that Ariah had already borrowed her money, she had no choice but to say that she wanted to buy a grave for Shawn.

When Ariah hear Sharon's explanation, she nodded in agreement. "I support this decision of yours. Although you no longer have any feelings for Shawn, you were once acquainted with him, so it's right to do these things for him."

Then, Sharon lowered her eyes, and her hands slightly trembled. "He died for me, and I feel bad about it. Some time ago, I felt very upset about it, but I didn't know what can I do for him. After thinking about it, decided to do what I'm capable of doing for him..."

When Ariah saw Sharon's reaction, her heart skipped a beat because she knew that Sharon was still traumatized by Shawn's incident, even though she looked fine on the outside.

"You've done the right thing." Tightly, Ariah held her hand. "I know you're feeling guilty and uneasy right now, but the more you do, the calmer you'll feel. Sharon, what happened to Shawn has nothing to do with you, so don't pressure yourself about it."

Did it really have nothing to do with her? At that moment, Sharon looked down at her toes and thought that Shawn wouldn't have died if it weren't for her.

Confusedly, Sharon raised her head to look at Ariah, "Then why do I keep dreaming of Shawn?"

Wit a tight frown, Ariah asked, "Do you still dream of him now?"

"Once in a while."

"Did you... think about him during the day?"

"Ariah, are you trying to say that I will dream about things that I've been thinking about throughout the day? The first few days after the incident, I did have cranky thoughts during the day, but I'm much better now. I won't think about him anymore, but I still dream of him at night. The most recent one was last night."

"Can you tell me what happened in your dream?"

"I dreamed of Shawn, who was covered with blood, came to find me. This dream was different from the usual ones because the dreams I had used to be good..."

"For example?" Slowly, Ariah tried to convince Sharon to speak out her truest thoughts.

"For example..." At that moment, Sharon hesitated.

"Sharon, I know you came to me because you wanted to solve this problem, so you have to tell me whatever you have in mind, and you shouldn't hide anything so that I can find the right way to solve your problem."

After Sharon took a deep breath, she nodded. "It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that I feel very embarrassed. Ariah, in my dream, I saw myself being together with Shawn, having a child with him, and I was living a happy life together with him..."

"Even though it's just a dream, I felt the dream was exceptionally real when I woke up. It felt so real that I could even feel every small thing in the dream with my eyes closed. Occasionally, it made me unable to distinguish between reality and the illusory world. It made me feel as if I was betraying Stanley..."

In fact, she was not willing to talk to Stanley about those dreams she had because she didn't know how to tell him about them.

Even she herself couldn't accept those things in the dream, not to mention how angry Stanley would be if he knew it!

After Ariah listened to her story, her brows furrowed tightly. The expression on her face was solemn, as if she had encountered some serious trouble. It was Sharon's first time seeing Ariah like this, and she was stunned for a moment before she asked, "What's wrong?"

Then, Ariah glanced at Sharon, "When did you start to have this situation? Was it after Shawn's death?"

"No, I had such a dream before Shawn's death, and it happened when I was in Tasnil..."

"Are you saying that it started since you were in Tasnil?" At that moment, Ariah looked at Sharon with a "why didn't you tell me earlier" expression.

Startled by Ariah's expression, Sharon explained, "I... I thought it was just a simple dream, so I didn't think much about it... Ariah, don't scare me."

Meanwhile, Ariah knew that Sharon must have been scared by her current state, so she took in a deep breath and said, "It's actually not a big deal, so don't worry. Hmm, you have to maintain a positive attitude and exercise more every day. About Shawn's matter, it's best not to feel any pressure or guilt. If you can do all this, then the dreams should stop."

"Let me think about it first. If you still have this kind of dream for the next two days, call me and tell me about it."

In the end, Ariah cleared her throat and said, "If the situation doesn't get better, Sharon, you might have to undergo hypnotherapy."
