Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 46

Sharon nervously stood by the desk and wondered if Stanley would like her gift.

After a pause, she slowly opened her palms and uttered anxiously after licking her lips, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

His thick black eyelashes slowly lifted, opening his eyes. When he finally saw what was in her hand, he glared in disbelief and subconsciously raised his hand and slap the thing away. "Take it away from me!"

With a slap, the frog flew out of her palms.

Sharon was stunned and stood in a daze, contemplating what was happening.

Why did he do this?

He liked frogs, didn't he? Why did he look so scared now?

Did he really have to slap it away so rudely even if he didn't like it?

Standing in the corner, he uttered with a cold and deep voice with a dash of disgust, "Sharon Cruz, I give you a second to get rid of that dirty thing!"

Sharon was so angry that she huffed, "Why is it dirty? Look how cute it is!"

Stanley clenched his fists and shouted furiously, "I asked you to throw it out. Did you hear me?"

Sharon glared at the spiteful man. She intended to turn around and leave, but as soon as she turned, an idea flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she walked slowly toward him and pointed at his face with suspicion. "Why are you so pale? Why are your lips so pale? Your hands are shaking... Stanley, are you afraid..."

"I'm not afraid! Why should I be afraid?"

Stanley strongly denied her before she could finish her sentence.

Sharon couldn't help laughing. "Are you really afraid of a frog?"

Wow, he was scared of frogs!

That was so adorable!

"But Hazel said that you like frogs. How can you be afraid of it?"

Stanley grimaced in disdain. "Idiot, can't you see that she was bluffing?"

"All right, don't be afraid," Sharon comforted him while laughing in amusement. "It's just a frog. It won't bite you."

"How dare you laugh at me?"

Sharon was not afraid of him at all now.

He who was afraid of frogs was not intimidating at all.

Sharon bent down to pick up the frog who was squatting on the ground. "Look at it. Its body is sticky and cold. It is very cute."

"It's disgusting! Don't you come here!" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Stanley glared at her fiercely.

Sharon muffled her laughter and said, "Okay, alright, I won't go there."

"Throw it away!" He shouted.

"Hmm, where are we going to throw it?"

Would it fall to death if she dropped it from the second floor?

Sharon didn't want to throw it away. Stanley who looked extremely unhappy gnashed his teeth and demanded, "Throw it away right now!"

"It's not good to throw it down. We need to learn to love small animals. I'll go downstairs to release it."

He breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind the desk, his handsome face filled with contempt.

Sharon curled her lips and was about to go out when the stoic frog suddenly jumped out of her hand.

"Croak, croak...'

It even let out two loud cries as it jumped away.

Sharon was stunned. "Alas..."

She didn't manage to catch it.

The frog jumped directly toward Stanley's direction.

Before Sharon could react, there was a flash of black shadow appeared in front of her. Stanley was already hiding behind her and grabbing her clothes tightly.

Sharon looked at the sky, speechless.

"Mr. Jones, where is your cool and arrogant self?" she thought.

Gritting his teeth and glaring at the green and sticky frog that brought goosebumps to his arms, he blurted, one word at a time, "Go to the desk!"

Sharon asked, "Why?"

"There's a gun in the drawer. Take it out and shoot the d*mn frog!"

"What!" Sharon's lips twitched in disbelief.

"Hurry up!"

"Hey, it's just a frog..."

"Sharon, do you hear me? Get the gun!"

She threw a sideways glance at him.

The commotion ended with the frog finally jumped out of the window sill. Stanley looked so grumpy and unhappy as if he could kill someone right there and then while Sharon covered her stomach and laughed.

"Haha! It is beyond my imagination that he has such an adorable side of him!" she thought while laughing out loud.

The laughter was too rampant that it pissed Stanley off. He stretched out his hand and pulled Sharon into his embrace without any warning.

Stanley pressed her against the desk and glared at her coldly. "Do you find it funny?"

Only a fool would nod and admit it. Sharon swallowed anxiously. "No, it's not funny."

Why would she laugh until her shoulder shuddered if it was not funny?

Stanley squinted at him with his phoenix eyes and an angry expression on his face.

Sharon was held firmly by him, and she tried to move, but she could not move at all.

Sensing that the tension between them had eased, Sharon quickly asked, "Are you still angry?"

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Why should I be angry?"

"Since you're not angry, you won't call the hospital, will you?"

Standing in his embrace, Sharon blinked at him with her bright eyes, full of expectation. "You will not do anything to my father, will you?"

Stanley's expression suddenly darkened.

Was this why she had cooked for him and prepared a 'gift'?

Was she afraid that he would not pay for her father's medical bills?

Her purpose and thoughts were pretty straightforward!

Stanley sneered and said, "Don't worry. As long as you're my wife, I won't neglect your father's welfare."

After receiving such a guarantee, Sharon finally relaxed completely.

"Ahem, by the way, why are you afraid of a frog?"

"It's disgusting!"

Sharon didn't know what to say.

This explanation was not in line with his temperament at all.

After being nervous for a whole day, Sharon finally felt comfortable. At this moment, she was a little tired and planned to go back to rest.

However, he clutched on her waist and wouldn't let go.

Sharon glanced at him and said, "Can you please let me go?"

There was no expression on Stanley's face. "No!"

Sharon said, "I'm going to take a shower. My hands are all dirty and the frog's slime is all over my body. Aren't you afraid?"

His expression did not change, yet he pursed his lips tightly.

Sharon noticed that there was something wrong with him. "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her chin was pinched, and Stanley's voice was so deep that it could be branded in her hearts. "What's wrong with me? Sharon, can't you tell?"

Sharon shook her head honestly. "No. What's wrong with you?"

"I have no idea. Can you please don't expect me to read your mind?"

She thought.

Stanley glared at her, and his glares were so fierce that he almost wanted to eat her right there and then.

Sharon was a little nervous. "I caught a frog and scared you. Please be a bigger person and don't be petty with..."

"D*mn it, it's not because of that!" Stanley interrupted her angrily.

Was this woman playing dumb?

His emotions were completely affected by her and this was the first time it happened in his life.

Yet, he didn't know how to deal with it.

In the business world, no matter what kind of problem or obstacles came at him, he could come up with all kinds of solutions, but this was the only thing he didn't know how to solve.

This made him feel very frustrated, making him wonder what was wrong with him.
