Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 734

After a long while, Jimmy finally loosened Ariah, and his hot body slowly cooled down. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Ariah knew that her words must have hurt him.

He even sucked in a breath when she said that.

Meanwhile, Jimmy pulled the quilt over her and apologized softly, "Sorry. I shouldn't have done that just now."

Dumbstruck, she didn't expect him to apologize.

Then, he held her curled-up body into his arms and kissed her on the head. "Sleep. I won't touch you anymore."

Ariah didn't quite believe him though, because she could still feel the changes in his body.

However, he said no more and embraced her still.

She froze for a while and relaxed a little upon seeing that he didn't continue. After a while, she fell asleep.

When Ariah opened her eyes the next day, Jimmy wasn't lying next to her anymore. She got up and wanted to go to the bathroom. Outside, she smelled food coming from the kitchen.

Sensing her coming out, Jimmy said, "Go wash up, and let's have breakfast."

Hearing his voice, she was a little surprised. Upon washing up, she went into the kitchen and saw Jimmy making breakfast with an apron tied around his waist.

"Why haven't you gone to work?"

It was already eight o'clock. Usually, he would be at work already by this time.

"I've adjusted my working time according to yours." Jimmy served the breakfast onto the table and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead. "Since you start work at nine o'clock, from now on, I'll start at nine too and I'll make us breakfast at eight."

Instantly, Ariah widened her eyes at the big breakfast. "Did you make all these?"

Taking a seat opposite her, he replied, "Yeah, I know how to cook."

"Then why have I never seen you cook before?"

"Well, I didn't get a chance to show off my cooking skills since there's you and the helper cooking at home."

Ariah nodded and ate her breakfast slowly. Recalling what happened last night, she thought that he would be angry today. However, it seemed like he wasn't bothered.

Upon finishing breakfast, she couldn't hold it back anymore and said to him while he was still tidying up the table, "Jimmy, you don't have to do this. Right now, I'm still not ready to marry you again."

All she wanted now was to give birth to the child. As for getting remarried, she would think about it later.

However, he just continued tidying up and said nothing, to which she grew a little nervous. Was he angry?

Later, when he came out of the kitchen, he took off his apron and finally said, "If you don't wanna get married again, then don't and I won't bring this up again."

Ariah was dumbstruck.

Oh no, he must be tired of her already!

He had been coaxing her for such a long time, and yet, she still acted indifferently toward him. So he must be out of patience now.

Thinking about that, she felt her heart throb.

Quickly, she bit her lips and looked away.

Just then, Jimmy's voice rang out again. "I've thought it through. It doesn't matter whether we have those legal papers or not. I'm pretty sure that we could live a good life even without those documents."

And then, he looked squarely at her and added, "Nevertheless, in the future, we might come across situations that need those documents. But don't worry. I'm sure there's a way to solve it."

Hearing that, she glared at him. Somehow, she couldn't follow his train of thoughts at all.

At night, getting off work, Ariah received a call from Sharon and she just happened to want to talk to her, so she called Sharon to come out to hang out.

This time when Sharon came out, there were bodyguards following her.

It seemed that Stanley was quite worried about Sharon since she was pregnant now.

When the girls were hanging out, Ariah got a call from Jimmy around 6.30 p.m. but she hung up the call.

She had been contemplating about what Jimmy said in the morning and figured out that he was going to stick with her to the end.

"Ariah, did you quarrel with Jimmy?"

Sharon asked directly.

"Is it obvious?"

"Yeah, actually, I could sense it last night, but I didn't ask."

Speaking of last night, Ariah raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who is that woman at the hotel with

Stanley? Did Stanley give you an explanation?" "Yes, he said that she's a partner at work and she'll be leaving Beachmarsh City today. She had been trying to get close to him, but he had never responded to her."

Ariah nodded as she trusted in Stanley's character -he wasn't someone who would cheat on Sharon.

It was good that they solved the misunderstanding.

When the girls got tired from shopping, they took a break at a patisserie. During then, Sharon sensed someone looking at her outside the window.

She was taken aback. But when she took another glance, the man was already gone.

"What's wrong?" Ariah asked.

Frowning slightly, Sharon explained, "I seemed to see a man in a hoodie watching me, but I can't see his face clearly."

"What? Was he coming for you?" Immediately, Ariah grew alert.

"I don't know."

"Uh, let's go. We'd better leave now."

"Alright."

Sharon followed her out of the shop. When they came to the escalator, somehow, they got scattered by the crowd. Seeing that, Ariah shouted, "Sharon! Hold on to the handrail. I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Okay!" After Sharon said that, suddenly, she was hit by a kid who was running down the escalator. With a cry, she widened her eyes in horror.

Thankfully, someone pulled her in time, and a low voice rang out. "Be careful!"

Sharon quickly steadied herself and took a deep breath. "Th-thank you."

If it hadn't been for the person's help, she would have fallen down the escalator.

"Don't mention it. Anyway, try to be more careful."

The man's voice was a little hoarse and Sharon looked over subconsciously. With just a glance, she froze. His dark eyes were bright and there was a complicated look in them, and even more than that, his gaze was intense.

But soon, the man looked away, avoiding her gaze.

Nonetheless, she recognized him. It was the man who peeked at her at the patisserie just now.

Realizing that, she was dumbstruck. She only regained her wits when Ariah's voice sounded next to her.

"Sharon!" Ariah grabbed her arm and asked, "Are you alright?" "I-I'm alright. What's wrong?"

"Just now on the escalator, I seemed to hear you screaming. What happened?"

"Nothing, it's just that I almost fell on the escalator and someone propped me up." Then, pursing her lips, Sharon added, "That person seemed to be the man who looked at me outside the patisserie."

Instantly, Ariah frowned. "Did he try to harm you?"

"No, don't worry."

The man probably didn't mean any harm to her. Otherwise, he would not have helped her.

Although Sharon couldn't see his face clearly due to the burn scars all over his face and his body, her intuition told her that he meant no malice towards her.

And there was a sense of familiarity in his eyes.

Meanwhile, being washed away by the crowd, the two bodyguards didn't know what had happened.

Seeing that Sharon wasn't hurt, Ariah stopped pursuing the matter further.
