Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 814

When Stanley heard that, he was a little surprised. "Howard actually did that?"

"Yep, his retribution has come," replied Jimmy with a smile. "Back then, he broke a lot of women's hearts. And now, he finally falls in love with someone."

Stanley also grinned. "Indeed, and I never imagined him to fall in love with the girl working at his house. That's just very surprising."

"Yeah, and I recall that Sharon seems to have a good relationship with the girl too."

Hearing that, Stanley sighed. "Yesterday, she even suggested holding a gathering someday. She wanted me to invite Howard and his girl too, as she's curious how far they have gone now."

Jimmy was choked speechless.

Gazing into the living room, Stanley finally asked, "Is this why you called me to come out?"

"Of course not."

"What else then?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jimmy took a long drag on his cig, sighing.

"What's the matter?"

"I've been running around the city for Howard's matter today, and I even watched the surveillance tape when Howard's rival took away his girl..."

With a pause, Jimmy said, "Guess what I saw?"

"Yeah?"

"I saw two tricking Howards!"

Frowning, he then added, "I mean it! They look the same, even their height. Do you think there could be two men in this world who look exactly the same?"

"Nope," Stanley answered firmly.

"Then how come there were two identical men?"

"That's impossible." Stanley frowned. "Could they be related perhaps?"

"Do you also think that they could be somehow related?"

"Yeah. Otherwise, why would they look exactly the same, unless they are twins?"

That was a lot of information there.

Nonetheless, Stanley just smiled faintly. "Well, we could ask him about it next time."

Saying that, he opened the door and stepped into the living room. Then, thinking of something, he added, "Don't bring the smell of cigarettes in. Will you come in a while later?"

Jimmy was choked speechless.

Obviously, Stanley was worried that his little daughter and his wife would smell the cig.

After staying on the balcony for a while, Jimmy went into the living room. As soon as Lacie saw him coming in, she reached out for a hug.

Jimmy picked up his daughter. However, Lacie wrinkled her little nose immediately, crying, "Mommy..."

Puzzled, he questioned, "What's wrong, darling?"

In the meantime, Ariah and Sharon were chatting and drinking tea not far away. Hearing Lacie's cry, Ariah walked over and inquired, "What's wrong?"

Lacie pointed to her father, pouting, and said, "Daddy stinks..."

Ariah raised her eyebrows.

Receiving her gaze, Jimmy was a little alarmed.

As expected, she leaned over and caught a whiff of him. Then, she shot him a glare. "You promised to quit smoking, and now you're smoking again?"

"Sorry, honey. I'll definitely quit next time!"

Ariah rolled her eyes at him and took their daughter away.

On the other hand, Stanley was holding his little daughter, standing aside and sneering, "Pffft, you should have the willpower to quit smoking."

Jimmy just fell into silence.

Elaine didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore after she had recovered from the fever.

She sat up from the hospital bed and glanced at Vincent, who was reading a book on the small sofa.

"I need to use the washroom."

She requested.

"Sure."

But she pointed outside the door and demanded, "I would like to use the one outside."

Only then did Vincent looked up at her. "Why?"

It wasn't that she couldn't use the restroom here.

However, Elaine avoided his gaze. "Well, because I'm too embarrassed to use the one here. I need to go to the washroom outside and you can't follow me.

Vincent didn't say anything. He just closed the book in his hand and stared at her with a pair of bright eyes.

After a long while, he finally said, "Do I look like a fool to you?"

Instantly, she went silent.

"Now that you've recovered, are you trying to run away again?" "Huh?" She retorted, "I just want to be discharged.

I don't wanna stay in the hospital anymore. It makes me sick."

Of course, it would be best if she could slip away from him.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Vincent looked straight at her and decided, "Alright, you can ask for discharge if you don't wanna stay here anymore."

She misunderstood what he meant and questioned, "Oh. Are you willing to let me go now?"

"Of course not."

"Then..."

"I mean, let's go back to the villa together."

Gritting her teeth, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, which Vincent followed.

When she opened the door, there were people standing guard outside the door. Seeing Vincent coming out, they greeted him respectfully, "Sir."

With a nod, he then went to hold her hand.

And Elaine couldn't get rid of him at all.

He was gripping her tightly.

Shortly, Elaine was taken back to the villa again.

Along the way, she was staring at the scenery outside the window, though she couldn't see much since the sky had gotten dark already.

Inside the carriage, it was very quiet. Vincent was leaning against the seat with his eyes shut.

A while later, he opened his eyes and found Elaine still looking out of the window.

Nevertheless, he didn't say anything and just sat there still, staring at her.

Finally, she couldn't stand his gaze and turned back to scowl at him. "What's wrong with you?"

It was quite creepy when he just looked at her in silence.

"Pffft!" Vincent snorted.

"I thought you're gonna ignore me forever. It seems like you're giving in now, huh?"

Although Elaine was annoyed, she didn't know what to say.

On the opposite, Vincent seemed to be in a good mood.

"Anyway, I don't mind looking at you for a whole night, so you may continue to ignore me."

Perhaps Vincent was a lunatic.

Because no normal man would act like this.

Looking at him quietly, she asked, "Are you gonna keep me captive forever?" "Good question. It depends on you actually. If you're not planning to run away, you could have the freedom to go anywhere or do anything."

With a short pause, he then added, "But of course, if you keep thinking about running away, then I'm afraid I'll have to ask someone to keep an eye on you all the time, and you couldn't go anywhere too."

She pursed her lips, asking, "Is that fun to you?"

Hearing that, Vincent smirked.

"Of course, it's fun as long as you're involved."

"And we'll get married immediately when you decide to accept my love. After that, I'll take you to travel around the world before we finally settling in Pleina. It's a picturesque country and you'll definitely like it."

"Jesus!"

Why was he making decisions on his own?

She never wanted to be with him, and yet, he had already imagined everything, including getting married.

What a lunatic!

Exasperated, she glared at him and snapped, "You'd better give up that idea. I won't marry you!" "That doesn't matter because you'll marry me anyway.

Hearing that, Elaine was so angry that she didn't know how to respond.

It seemed that she wouldn't be able to understand the mind of a psycho.

Just then, the driver's voice rang out. "Sir, we've arrived."
