Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 222

Inside the Bentley, the car was driving at a slow pace. The person in the driver's seat placed one hand on the steering wheel, and his fingers tapped on it absent-mindedly.

Sitting in the passenger side, Sharon pursed her lips and turned her head to look out of the window.

Three minutes ago, Shawn asked her to get in the car. Though, Sharon did not want to get in, but Shawn only said one sentence, "If you don't want to get in, I'll get off the car and carry you in personally. I'm happier doing so.

Knowing that Shawn was the type of guy who would do as he said. Sharon had no choice but to get in his car.

"I saw that you were on your phone from a distance." In the quiet car, Shawn slowly spoke. "Who were you calling, huh?"

Hearing that, Sharon's face was as calm as water. "What does it have to do with you?"

Suddenly, a screeching sound could be heard, the car came to a sudden halt. Due to habit, Sharon's entire body leaned forward before she was pulled back by the seat belt.

Frowning in pain, she took a deep breath. Fueled with anger, she was ready to scold him. As she turned around, her gaze met a pair of dark eyes.

Motionlessly looking at her, Shawn's eyes were dark and his face looked scary.

Sharon reached out her hand to push the car door.

With a click, the door lock was on and the car door was locked.

Turning her head to look at the man. "Shawn, don't make me hate you!"

Shawn was stunned.

"If I can still get in your car, this proves that I still believe in you. But, don't take advantage of this. Don't make me hate you till I'm forced to completely remove you from the bottom of my heart.

Sharon warned him word by word.

Curving his mouth into a bitter smile, Shawn said, "Sharon, you're getting smarter each time. You know how to hold me down. How can I... Let you go?"

Looking at his familiar eyes and brows, Sharon said, "Brother, what happened between us was already over. You should choose to start a new life, or just start over."

"Brother..." Shawn mumbled. He raised his eyes and looked at Sharon's gentle and small face. Without the sharp warning gaze that she had given him earlier, his mind moved and his long eyelashes drooped. "Is it because we're siblings now that you don't hate me so much?"

In reply, Sharon nodded, "It's really in the past between us. Who I love now is another man."

The palm of his hand tightly closed, and blue veins stood out on the back of his hand. Shawn hid the rage in his eyes and smiled. "Is the one you love, Stanley?"

Pressing the corners of her mouth together, Sharon said, "I'm his wife, I'm only going to love him for the rest of my life."

"Okay then, I'll ask you one last question," Shawn said, staring into her eyes. "Back then... Did you even like me?"

Sharon was startled by his question.

Back then, had she ever liked him?

How could there be no such thing?

That year, he was the one who accompanied her. Every time her parents had conflicts and quarreled with each other, he was the one by her side. Even when she was on her period, he would hold her in his arms and coaxed her over and over again...

If it weren't for Shawn, Sharon's youth would definitely be in so much pain that she would want to die.

Looking up, Sharon stared at him. "When I was in my sophomore year, my desk-mate fell in love with a straight-A student next class. We once whispered to each other, and she told me, 'Sharon, I want to marry a straight-A student in the future, I will marry him...'"

Speaking of this, the corners of Sharon's mouth twitched as she chuckled. "What you probably did not know was that back then, I said the same thing to my desk-mate. I said, in the future, I'll marry Shawn..."

The air in his chest seemed to have been sucked away. It felt like all of his organs were twisted together, which caused agonizing pain.

In the past, she had once thought of marrying him...

If he did not leave, and she had graduated from college, they would have gotten married and had children. Additionally, he would have worked hard, and bought a house and a car for her. Giving her a normal but happy life.

They did not need to be rich, as long as they could be together...

However, all of these, were bubbles. Under the scorching sun, they were all broken.

Did he really... Lose her forever...

Thinking of that, Shawn could not help but tremble. He turned his face away and tried his best to breathe. The ends of his eyes were red and burning. Clenching his fists, he then raised them, and smashed heavily on the steering wheel.

One punch at a time! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It seemed that he was venting, letting out his anger on the unfairness of their fates. Why did they end up in such a situation?

Eventually, his fist almost destroyed the steering wheel, and soon his hand bled.

Terrified, Sharon pursed the corners of her mouth without saying a word.

After a while, Shawn turned back. His eyes were red and were full of tears. "I... I've also thought of marrying you. I would have given you the biggest wedding, bought you the most beautiful wedding dress, and made you the happiest woman..."

In a hoarse voice, Shawn said one word at a time. "I was the one who left you behind, I'm sorry..."

After all, Shawn was sorry for Sharon.

Hearing what he had said, Sharon's eyes were also red. Tears rolled down as Sharon said, "No, you don't need to be sorry for me. You haven't done anything wrong."

It was just that there was no fate between the two of them, and they did not meet each other at the right time.

None of them was wrong, it was just how fate works...

In the hospital.

After Shawn had parked the car, Sharon originally thought that he would go back after sending her over. She did not expect that Shawn would follow her off the car.

"Uh..." Puzzled, Sharon looked at him. "You're going upstairs with me?"

Nodding as Shawn locked the car. "Yes."

"But..."

Knowing that he and Stanley did not get along, and they even fought the last time they met. God knows what will happen, If the two of them met again, she was afraid that they might start a fight.

"There are no 'buts'." Shawn came up to her and looked down. He then smiled slowly. "You're my little sister, and I'm your older brother. Naturally, I can't leave you alone."

Dumbfounded, Sharon asked, "What... Did you say?"

"What, you don't recognize your brother now?" Shawn raised his eyebrows.

This resulted in Sharon breathing rapidly. "You... Figured it out?"

Letting out a long sigh, Shawn said, "Yes, I've thought it through. You're right. I should walk out from the past and welcome my future life properly."

Looking at her for a moment, Shawn said, "Rather than being strangers, I would happily be your brother and protect you."

To be honest, Sharon did not expect that he would really let it go. All sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. "Are you sure that you've really let it go?"

"Yes, I've put it down."

"You're not lying to me."

Looking down at her, Shawn smiled. "If you don't want to be siblings, I can still..."

"Let's do it, let's be siblings!" Sharon looked at him and called out, "Brother."

All of a sudden, Shawn pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Sharon was stunned for a moment before she struggled. "What are you doing..."

"Wasn't this your suggestion to be siblings?" Shawn let go of her, and a faint laugh escaped from his throat.

"Now, we can go back to the old days. What is the Big Valley University deal if a brother hugs his sister?"

He was right. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Nodding, Sharon said with a serious "hmm" then raised her small hand and gave him a slap on the arm.

This slap caused Shawn to be stunned.

Quickly, Sharon started running. Turning her head and smiled as she ran. "It shouldn't be a big deal for a younger sister to beat up her older brother, right? Haha..."

The entire parking lot was filled with her laughter.

Looking at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Shawn ran after her with his long legs. The look in his eyes was meaningful.

Siblings?

Heh.
