Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 594

At that moment, the managers were puzzled as they wondered who was the person on the phone.

When they observed the expression on Stanley's face, they were guessing that the person on the phone should be a woman. Otherwise, how could he have such a tender expression on?

In fact, everyone in the company had been speculating whether Stanley was seeing someone, and now the rumor seemed to be true.

The few managers in the room who were curious started to listen quietly to the conversation...

"Stanley, why don't you head over to your mother's place for dinner tonight?"

When Sharon's voice rang from the phone, Stanley didn't expect that it would be her first sentence.

"Why?"

"Your mother called just now to ask Sadie and Seamus over to accompany her for dinner, but I had promised the children yesterday that I would accompany them for their art classes today."

However, Stanley knew Sharon well. Casually, he flipped the proposal document on the table and uttered, "So, you're saying that you felt sorry after you rejected her invitation, and now you want me to go over and make it up to her?"

"You're so smart." Happily, Sharon praised him. "Even though the call was from Hazel, but it's definitely your mother's request for her to call. If I reject her like that, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. You're her son, and since she misses her grandson, I believe that it would be the same if you were the one who went over to have dinner with her."

When Stanley heard that, he was at a loss for words.

"So... you'll be going to see her, right?"

Suddenly, Stanley sighed, "Sharon, when are you going to pass the hurdle in your heart?"

The reason why Sharon immediately rejected Ember's invitation was that she couldn't get that knot off her chest.

However, Stanley was surprised and excited that Sharon even thought of calling him to tell him about it.

After Sharon remained silent for a moment, she said, "I don't know what you're talking about... Just give me an answer. Are you going or not?"

"How would I dare to disobey your orders..."

Suddenly, Stanley's words came to a pause.

Immediately, Sharon got curious. "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

With a frown, Stanley asked her, "What is today's date?" Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Huh? Today is the 28th. What's the matter?"

Then, Stanley placed his hand on his forehead and said, "Now I know why did Hazel give you a call today."

"Why?"

"Today is my mother's birthday."

Stupefied, Sharon was at a loss for words.

It was Ember's birthday today?

That was impossible!

Why was there no preparation or celebration at all for her birthday?

Some of the women from wealthy families would begin to make special preparations a month before their birthday, but why did Ember stay low for her birthday?

"How did you not know that your mother's birthday is approaching?" At that moment, Sharon was speechless.

Over the past few years, Ember had always been in poor health, so she had never held a birthday celebration since then. After a few years of not having a celebration, Stanley didn't think of telling his assistant to remind him of his mother's birthday for this year.

Besides, he had been so busy this month that he had completely forgotten about it.

As soon as Sharon figured out the entire story, she held the phone and hesitated for a long time before she said, "Then should I... buy some birthday gifts and send them over now?"

The corners of Stanley's mouth curled into a smile. "That's so nice of you, my dear wifey."

"Plop!"

One of the managers fell off the chair.

Distracted, Stanley looked up and asked, "Are you okay, Mr. Scott?"

Immediately, Mr. Scott, who had fallen off the chair, shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I accidentally lost my balance. Mr. Jones, do proceed to continue the call with your wife. There's no need to worry about me."

Who would've known that on the other end of the call was Mr. Jones' wife!

That was a huge secret!

In fact, Stanley's relationship history had always been shrouded in mystery, but it turned out that he had already gotten married a long time ago. It really was a shocking piece of news.

It wasn't even embarrassing that he fell off the chair due to the shock!

"Get the driver to send you guys over. There's no need to prepare a gift. She doesn't need anything." Softly, Stanley said to the person on the phone, "I'll come and find you guys once I'm done with my work. For now, I hope you can hold on for a bit, okay?"

When Sharon heard Stanley's last sentence, she knew that it carried a hint of pleading.

"Go ahead and continue with your work. I'll bring Sadie and Seamus over first." With a snort, Sharon answered, "I should still get her something. Uh, does your mother like desserts?"

Suddenly, Stanley laughed and said, "She would love anything that you buy for her."

Then, Sharon ended the call, washed up, and headed to Ember's place with the kids.

When the doorbell rang, Hazel went to open the door. However, as soon as she opened the door, Sadie and Seamus rushed to her and held onto her legs. "Granny West, we're here! Where is my grandma?"

Meanwhile, Hazel looked at Sharon standing outside the door and then at her two children. In a daze, she asked, "W-Why are you guys here?" "We even bought a birthday cake, too. Sadie can't stop drooling over the cake, but Mother said that grandma has to make a wish and blow out the candles. Only then can Sadie eat the cake."

At that moment, Sadie felt so wronged that she was pouting her lips.

When Hazel came to her senses, she quickly welcomed them into the house and said, "Come on in. Since Sadie can't wait to eat the cake, then I'll go up and ask grandma to come downstairs and cut the cake."

"Granny West, I'll go with you!"

"That's great. Your grandmother has been quite upset earlier. If she were to see you guys here, she would be delighted."

After Hazel finished her words, she and Sadie rushed upstairs, and Sharon couldn't stop them even if she wanted to.

With a sigh, Sharon brought Seamus into the house and removed their shoes. After a while, Sharon heard the sound of footsteps from the stairs again.

Happily, Sadie held Ember's hand down the stairs as she chattered non-stop. Meanwhile, Ember had a deep smile on her face as she listened attentively to Sadie's words.

The moment Ember saw Sharon that was standing downstairs, the corners of her eyes turned red. "I heard from Sadie that you purposely bought the birthday cake for me?"

A little embarrassed, Sharon explained, "It's not like I purposely went somewhere to buy it. I just saw that there was a bakery around the community, and they had ready- made birthday cakes, so I bought it for you."

The eyes of Ember were still red.

It made Sharon a little at a loss.

Although she had experience on how to coax her children and Stanley, she had never coaxed Ember. Besides, she didn't know why did Ember have such a huge reaction.

Suddenly, Ember also felt a little embarrassed, so she took Seamus and Sadie's hands and went to the living room.

However, Hazel covered her mouth and laughed as she whispered to Sharon, "She is so touched that her eyes turned red. I guess she's now embarrassed."

Taken aback, Sharon was tongue-tied.

In fact, Ember was elated at their sudden visit, and she spent the entire afternoon playing with Sadie and Seamus. On the other hand, Sharon watched television with ease, and she didn't need to worry about anything at all.

It was because Ember loved Sadie and Seamus even more than Sharon did.

After another hour of playtime, it was almost time for dinner, so Hazel got up and went to cook. However, Sharon stopped her and said, "There's no need to cook dinner. Let's go out for dinner. You can have a rest today."

At that moment, Ember knew that Sharon had a good intention, so she went along with her words, "I agree with Sharon. Let's go out for a simple meal."

Then, Hazel nodded in agreement.

After that, the driver sent them to the shopping mall, and they found a simple restaurant for dinner. While they were having their meal, Sharon suddenly remembered about Stanley and immediately sent him a text.

"Remember not to go home because we are having dinner in the mall. Come straight over to the mall when you're done with work."

After a while, Stanley called, and Sharon answered, "Hello?"

"How are things going on with my mother?" In a low voice, Stanley asked.

At that moment, Sharon sneaked a glance at Ember and saw that Ember was talking to Sadie. Meanwhile, Sadie was holding Ember's hand as she asked Ember to take her somewhere.

"Sadie, don't disturb Grandma," With a frown, Sharon said.

However, Sadie pursed her lips and said, "Mom, I want to pee."

Immediately, Hazel stood up and said, "You both may remain seated while I'll take Sadie to the washroom."

"Quick, Granny West. I'm about to pee!" As fast as lightning, Sadie ran forward as Hazel shook her head and trailed along with a smile.

On the other end of the line, Stanley smiled as he said, "Hmm, it seems like you guys are getting along quite well."

"I'm such a virtuous wife. Of course, there won't be any conflicts."

As a matter of fact, Sharon knew what was Stanley worried about.

Softly, Stanley laughed, and Sharon could tell that he was in a good mood.

At that moment, Sharon was also in a good mood, but things didn't last long for her. After a while, Sharon saw Hazel stumbled into the restaurant from outside as she exclaimed, "Something bad happened. Sadie...She's missing!"
