Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 719

It was Nicole.

The caller ID showed Nic, and Ariah couldn't help but think that it was Nicole.

Hesitated for a moment, she decided not to answer the call.

After ringing for a while, the call was disconnected automatically.

Grabbing Jimmy's phone, Ariah wanted to call someone, but she discovered that she needed a password to unlock his phone.

She tried his birthday and failed.

Then, she tried a few more combinations, but they all failed.

What password did he use?

Ariah racked her brains, but couldn't think of anything.

In the end, she gave up. She couldn't fall asleep either as her mind was in a mess, so she simply stared at the ceiling in a daze.

As time ticked by, the natural hue outside the window grew darker and darker. Ariah's arm was beginning to feel numb, and it would probably become worse if she didn't move.

She pushed Jimmy hard. "Jimmy!"

However, it was as if he was dead that he remained asleep no matter how she screamed at him.

Ariah started to worry. Was he actually asleep or...

Carefully, she extended her hand towards his nose.

He was still breathing, slow and even.

Ariah let out a sigh of relief. Following that, she started to get annoyed. She said that she wanted to draw the line with him, so why the hell did she still care about him?

Besides...

She crossed her leg, holding her urge.

Anxious, she kicked him.

Thump!

Jimmy jolted awake the moment he hit the ground. As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a sudden burst of cold air in his eyes, and his muscles tensed up immediately as if he was in battle mode.

By the time he came to his senses, the dangerous primeval forest blurred from his vision, and only then did he gradually ease up.

"Don't just sit there. Uncuff me right now!" Ariah snapped.

Jimmy looked toward the direction of the voice and realized that he was sitting on the ground while she was on the bed, bellowing furiously.

He frowned. "Did you kick me off the bed just now?"

"Yes! Hurry and uncuff me!"

Standing up slowly from the ground, Jimmy stretched his stiff body and turned to look out of the window. It was getting dark. It seemed that he had slept for a whole day.

He looked better than before after rejuvenating himself by taking the much-needed sleep.

Seeing that he was still standing there and staring at her, Ariah growled anxiously, "Hurry and uncuff me!"

Jimmy's eyes were full of smiles. "No, I don't want to. Only in this way can you stay still. I'm hungry. I'll cook something. What do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat anything!" Ariah roared, yet there was a loud rumble coming from her stomach.

Jimmy looked at her with an amusing smile.

Ariah blushed. "Uncuff me right now. I need to use the toilet! I can't hold it anymore!"

Only now did Jimmy realize that she didn't look too good. Skeptically, he picked up the key and unlocked the handcuff on her wrist.

Ariah jumped out of bed and ran towards the bathroom.

Tossing the cuff aside, Jimmy looked at his reflection in the mirror and felt as if he was looking at a barbarian. After pondering for a while, he took his phone and made a call.

Ariah came out of the bathroom after taking a leak to find that Jimmy wasn't in the bedroom, but there was a sound coming from the living room. She walked over suspiciously and saw him throwing things out from the balcony.

After taking a closer look, she realized that he was throwing Felipe's things!

"What are you doing?"

"See it for yourself." Jimmy ripped off Felipe's clothes and threw them outside.

Ariah glared at him. "These are Felipe's personal belongings. You have no right to throw them without his permission!"

"Stand aside and don't make me angry." Jimmy stared back at her.

The image of his angry look earlier this morning flashed across Ariah's mind. Her lips moved, but no words came out of it. In the end, she donned a cold smile and turned around indifferently.

Jimmy sighed.

When David came over, Ariah was still in the bedroom.

David shrieked the moment he saw Jimmy. "Captain, what the hell happened to you?"

He looked like a savage that emerged from a cave.

Jimmy glanced at him and asked, "Where are the clothes?"

"Here you go." David handed over the bag to him.

Jimmy took it and ordered, "I want to take a shower. There are ingredients in the kitchen. Cook something for me."

David nodded and went to the kitchen.

After showering and shaving his beard, Jimmy came out of the bathroom looking refreshed and handsome.

By this time, David had also finished cooking and served the food on the table. While eating, Jimmy asked, "When I wasn't around, did anything happen?"

"There's nothing that we can't handle."

"Good."

Jimmy answered.

David looked around. "Where is Ariah?"

Jimmy halted, his dark eyes narrowing slightly, and then resumed eating. "She's sleeping."

David gave an nonchalant hum.

"Who sleeps at this hour anyway?" he thought to himself.

Sensing the wicked smile on David's face, Jimmy glared and hissed, "Thanks for the delivery. You can leave now."

David pursed his lip. "Alright. By the way, are you coming to the station tomorrow?"

"Yes," Jimmy replied.

After David left, Jimmy threw the dishes into the sink. After thinking for a moment, he gave Jackson and Nicole a call respectively.

This time, he came back first. If he was not mistaken, they should have set out from Rosteobia by now, and they should be back by tomorrow.

"Nicole..." Jimmy called her name. "What time will you arrive tomorrow? I'll pick you up."

Nicole sounded calm over the phone beside the slight hoarseness. It was the side effect after Camden drugged her that almost caused severe damage to her throat.

"Jackson said we'll arrive in the morning."

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

Nicole chuckled.

For a moment, none of them talked, and only the sound of breathing could be heard. Then, Jimmy said slowly, "Camden is dead, so there's nothing to be worried about after you come back. Your parents have been thinking about you all these years. I'll take you home tomorrow, but you have to be prepared. They will be very shocked when they see you." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The Hart Family assumed that Nicole was dead as they had not been able to find her for so many years.

He had long wanted to inform them that he had found Nicole, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell them in person.

Nicole's breathing became heavy. In the end, she gave an affirmative hum.

They talked for a while more and then ended the call.

He turned around and realized that Ariah was standing behind him.

Seeing that she looked a little pale, Jimmy hurried over and asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while longer?"

Ariah avoided his hand swiftly and said, "Jimmy, we need to talk."

After staring at her for a few seconds, Jimmy nodded. "What do you want to talk about?"

Then, Ariah sat down on the sofa and covered her stomach with a pillow, concealing it perfectly.
