Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 515

When Sharon woke up, she didn't see any sign of Stanley. After she purposely went to the living room and the guest room to look, she still didn't see him. Then she looked at the time, and it was seven o'clock in the morning.

For a long time, Sharon was stunned before she finally came to her senses that Stanley hadn't returned for an entire night.

It often happened when they first got married. There was once where he didn't even return to the villa for a month.

But ever since the two of them expressed their feelings, there had never been a situation in which Stanley hadn't been back for a single night.

Was it because of Shawn's matter yesterday, that was why he didn't come back all night?

After taking a deep breath, Sharon returned to her bedroom to wake up the children.

Today, the school was organizing the last parentteacher conference before they start their winter break tomorrow.

On the way to school, Sharon gave Stanley a call.

Actually, after she fetched the children yesterday, she wanted to tell him the news, but he didn't come back all night.

In the end, when she made a phone call, no one answered...

With a frown, Sharon did not give up and continued to give a few more calls until she accepted the fact that he was not going to answer her call.

"Is Daddy not coming to school?"

With a pair of eager eyes, Sadie looked at Sharon and asked.

However, Sharon didn't know how to tell them about it, but she didn't want them to be disappointed, so she just said, "He is coming. He will be here in a minute. We shall go to school and wait for Daddy. He wil be here soon."

After Sharon comforted the two children, she sent Stanley a text and told him about today's parentteacher conference.

Since it was the last parent-teacher conference before the holiday, the parents who attended today had arrived very early. When Sharon arrived, almost half of the parents in the class were already there.

It was mostly a family of three, including fathers, mothers, and their children.

In fact, she was the only one with two children, and it made her seem a little lonely.

A few young mothers secretly glanced at her several times and then whispered to each other.

Meanwhile, Sharon brought Sadie and Seamus to a corner and sat down as she pretended not to hear or see anything.

But their voices gradually became louder, and they didn't care if she could hear them or not.

"How could she come here alone for such an important conference? Can't she see that everyone in the class came as a whole family?"

"Well, maybe she too, wanted the child's father to attend, but the child's father was not willing to come."

"Why would he not want to attend? This is very important to the child. If the child saw other people's parents attending, and only their own father is absent, the child will feel inferior."

"You don't know about this, do you? I heard that she was married to an old man in his eighties. That's why she can't bring him to this conference. Otherwise, she would make a fool out of herself."

"What? That can't be!"

"It's true. I heard that she was greedy for the family's money, so she married the old man. Now, she is just waiting for the old man to pass away so she can directly take his property!"

"Oh my god. No way, how could this woman be so vicious?"

"Shh, lower your voice, she's looking over at us..."

The rumors were getting worse. Just as Sharon couldn't bear it any longer and was about to explode, the teacher walked in from outside, so Sharon took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

After that, the teacher gave a long speech on the podium. Although Sharon peeked at her phone secretly, she realized that Stanley didn't call her back, nor did he reply to her text messages. It made her a little disappointed.

Today was such an important day. If Stanley did not appear today, the two children would definitely not feel good.

Just as Sharon was letting her imagination run wild, there was a commotion in the class. In confusion, she raised her head, completely unaware of what had just happened. Just now, she was immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't know what the teacher had said.

A mother who was sitting close to her told her, "Just now, Miss Clifton said that there seemed to be a few school leaders that would be coming to our class. The school attaches great importance to it, so later, the school leaders will come over and say a few words."

Only now did Sharon understand.

After the mother finished her explanation, she paused for a while and said, "Earlier, I heard those women were gossiping about you. They just like to gather around and say bad things about others, so don't take it to heart."

At that moment, Sharon was taken aback because she didn't expect that someone would comfort her.

"Thank you," sincerely, she thanked her.

Then, the mother smiled.

Suddenly, there was another commotion at the entrance of the class, while the principal and several teachers all went to welcome the school leaders. A moment later, the space in the relatively small class suddenly became particularly crowded.

The first two leaders spoke on the stage one by one in an official tone. Since Sharon was not interested in these scenes at all, she brought two children to sit in a corner and consoled them that their father couldn't attend this conference because he had been delayed by an important matter...

Until the last leader came to the stage, Sharon heard someone gasped, and then a familiar and deep male voice rang in her ears.

"Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you."

Immediately, Sharon raised her head in disbelief.

When she saw the person standing ont he podium, her eyes widened.

Enthusiastically, the principal introduced him to the parents, "This is the chairman of the Jones Group, and he is also the biggest shareholder of our school. All the high-quality food expenses for the students this semester were provided by the Jones Group. Let's welcome Mr. Jones."

There were thousands of students in a school, and the meal cost for half a semester was not a small fund.

If these meals were listed according to the exact price, they were more expensive than the tuition fee of these students. This matter was clearly known by all the parents. Since the school knew that the parents definitely would not pay for it, the principal told them that it was sponsored by a mysterious school leader.

It was not until today that the parents saw the mysterious school leader who did a good deed without telling his name.

The several young mothers who had spoken ill of Sharon behind her back earlier had now begun to discuss excitedly in soft voices again.

"I didn't know he's so handsome."

"Yeah, indeed. I didn't expect that in addition to being so young, he has such a good temperament, and he seems much better than the two leaders just now."

"What do you mean by 'much better'? This Mr. Jones is the real deal, and the other two were just for show."

"Oh, he's so handsome and rich. I wonder if he's married or not."

"Sigh, for such a good man, his future wife must be a lady from a noble family."

Meanwhile, Sharon remained at a loss for words.

All of her attention was focused on the man on the podium, and her mind was completely blank. Stanley... why was he here?

Didn't he refuse to answer her call or reply to her text messages?

Why did he suddenly appear here?

"Mommy, Daddy is here..."

Excitedly, Sadie tugged at Sharon's hand and asked, "Mommy, didn't you say Daddy won't be coming here today? Why is he here now?"

"Pfft, she really dared to say anything. Isn't she afraid that people would make fun of her?"

Just as Sharon was thinking about how to answer Sadie's question, one of the young mothers looked at her and mocked, "You should teach your child well and tell them not to address anyone that they see as their father! If you were to put it nicely, you could say that children often say whatever they like; if you were to put it in a bad way, it would be that they are addressing anyone wealthy as their relatives. It would be such a joke!"

Tve told you that this woman has no moral boundaries, and she can do anything, but I didn't expect that she would teach her daughter to be like this!"

"That's right, their whole family is ill-bred!"

Instantly, Sharon's expression became very ugly. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Seamus suddenly stepped forward with an unfriendly expression as he pointed at those women and said, "All of you, apologize to my mother!"
