Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 737

It was Mack and Ella.

And Mack tried to hint at them with coughing just now.

Never did Ariah expect to see them here.

Standing not far away, Jimmy's parents looked rather awkward.

Mack was especially embarrassed and almost wanted to scold Jimmy.

Earlier, he coughed a few times to remind Jimmy of their presence, and yet, Jimmy was still kissing Ariah shamelessly despite Ariah struggling. Their son was like a total jerk.

Embarrassed, Ariah raised her knee and gave Jimmy a hard kick.

Finally, Jimmy was in pain and let go of her.

Ariah was extremely annoyed and broke free from his grip before calling out to Mack and Ella, "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson!"

Being kicked by Ariah, Jimmy was initially furious. But when he heard Ariah's call out, he paused for a moment and turned around, only to find out that his parents were standing not far away, looking ashamed of him.

He quickly calmed down and acted as if nothing had happened. "Mom, dad, why are you here?"

Just then, Ella asked in disbelief, "Ariah, why is your belly so big?"

Both his parents didn't know about Ariah's pregnancy yet.

Ariah was still embarrassed about what happened earlier. Now that she heard Ella's words, she felt even more awkward and tried to cover her belly with her clothes. "Uh, let's go in and talk."

Staring at her belly, Ella came to hold her hand. "Are you pregnant?"

Ariah nodded.

Judging from the size of her belly, Ella could tell that she had been pregnant for about five or six months. However, the young couple had never informed her about Ariah's pregnancy at all.

Taking a deep breath, she then carefully helped Ariah into the ward before glaring at Jimmy, who was behind them, and scolded, "You come in too!"

Jimmy tidied up his clothes and gave his father a grudging look. "Dad, you guys really know how to pick the right time."

Jeez, he was in the middle of business!

"How can you do that in a hospital!" Apparently, Mack was very angry at him. "Besides, Ariah is pregnant. Can't you hold it back a bit?"

Nevertheless, Mack was also shocked at the fact that Ariah was now pregnant, and Jimmy never told them about it.

What a perfect cover-up.

"I've been holding it back for almost half a year. Anyway, I was trying to make up for her."

Hearing that, Mack said nothing.

Inside the ward-

Ella was very concerned about Ariah's pregnancy and heaved a sigh of relief upon learning that the baby was healthy. "Ariah, getting pregnant is a big thing. Why didn't you tell us?"

Ariah lowered her head. "Sorry, Ella. I should've informed you guys..."

When she first discovered this, she already decided to split up with Jimmy, so she didn't intend to tell anyone in the Hudson Family.

Now that they knew about this, she could only apologize.

Nonetheless, Ella didn't blame her too much and vented her anger on Jimmy instead. "And you! Why didn't you tell us about this?"

Jimmy put his arm around Ariah's shoulders and said casually, "Well, now you guys know."

Right away, Ella shot him a glare. Then, she thought of something and pinched her son's arm. "Just now outside the ward, how could you force Ariah like that!"

"Mom, listen. I was trying to make up to her, so don't worry. Besides, she's my wife. I'll never harm her." Jimmy smiled cheekily.

With a snort, Ella went on, enjoining them about things to look out for and then left with Mack.

As soon as Jimmy's parents left, Ariah broke free from his grip and wanted to leave too.

Suddenly, there was a thud behind her. She spun around and saw him lying on the bed, pointing at his leg, and said, "Honey, it hurts again because you kicked me just now."

Ariah hated to see him pretend to be pitiful, but she was a soft-hearted person.

Glaring at him who was grinning happily, she gritted her teeth and hissed, "I'm going to call the nurse!"

Then, she went out.

Finally, Jimmy let out a sigh of relief because he was really worried that she would leave like that.

After Ella found out that Ariah was pregnant, she would often ask Jimmy to take Ariah back home for dinner and she had even made two meals for Ariah.

Stroking her belly, Ariah thought that the treatment she received now was really different from before.

Now, Ella even wanted her to move in, to which Ariah was startled and looked at Jimmy for help while responding, "Thanks for offering. I'll see what Jimmy thinks."

Jimmy received her gaze and refused his mom's suggestion. "Mom, please, we're not moving in with you."

"Why not? If you two move here, I can take good care of the baby." Ella snorted.

Soon, Jimmy was getting a little impatient and said, "No need. I can take care of the baby myself. Anyway, we're heading back now."

Then, he took Ariah's hand and they left.

Ariah had long wanted to leave. Now that Jimmy had said goodbye, she immediately followed after him obediently.

On the way back, she said seriously, "Your mom seemed to be expecting a baby boy. If it turns out to be a girl, will she get upset?"

Jimmy took a glance at her. "Nah, don't worry."

"I think you're preferring a baby boy too," she said with her lips pouted.

Hearing that, Jimmy felt that he was wronged. Sometimes, he just assumed their baby to be a boy subconsciously but he actually didn't mind the baby's gender. He only hoped that their child would be healthy. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The next day, Jimmy asked for leave to accompany Ariah for her checkup. After the examination, the doctor suddenly asked, "Do you two wanna know the baby's gender?"

Before Ariah could reply, Jimmy tidied Ariah's clothes and said casually, "Nah, there's no need. We just wanted to know that the baby is healthy."

Ariah glanced at him but said nothing.

On the other hand, the doctor smiled slightly and reassured, "Don't worry. The baby is very healthy."

Jimmy thanked the doctor and left with Ariah.

Later, in the elevator, they ran into Hailee Perkins-Howard's cousin and Ariah's best friend back in school. However, the girls gradually lost contact in college as they both went to different colleges abroad.

Hailee immediately recognized Ariah and called out happily, "Oh my goodness, Ariah!"

She didn't expect to see Ariah here in the hospital.

And Ariah couldn't believe it too. "Hailee?"
