Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 459

Before her conflict with Jimmy, Ariah used to live in a heavily guarded residential quarter with him. The residents there were all important figures, so the entrance was always guarded by fully armed soldiers.

It was indeed safer to live there.

After that terrifying experience of being kidnapped, she no longer dared to take her own safety lightly.

On the way home, Ariah asked all the questions she wanted to ask at once, "What happened to Jimmy? Why did he turn off his phone? Why couldn't I contact him?"

Touching the back of his head awkwardly, he said, "Jimmy asked me not to let you know this. He didn't want to make you worried."

"I'll get more worried if you don't make it clear."

That rendered him speechless.

"Tell me now!" Ariah barked with a serious face. "If you don't make it clear, you don't have to send me back. You can just take me directly to your police station instead, and I'll ask him myself." "Are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Yes, that's what I'm doing now."

Following a brief hesitation, he said slowly, "Since he opened fire to save you, he was investigated by the superiors over the past two days. He needs to write the reports before he can come back."

Ariah was stunned by the truth. The pervert wearing a clown mask had indeed died in front of her, and his blood had even splashed all over her.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"T-That's all I want to know."

Heaving a sigh of relief, he continued, "I told you this because I didn't want to make you worried. Jimmy will be fine. Trust me."

In response, she nodded to show that she understood. After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something else. "By the way, did Ricco go to look for you?"

"Well, that guy has nothing to do with us. Why should he come to us?"

"Didn't he ask you about Kierra?"

"Kierra?"

Upon taking a deep breath, she said, "I have something to ask you."

"Okay. What is it?"

"Didn't you see another girl in the basement when you went to save me? She's in her teens, and her

name is Kierra."

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. "When you passed out, we searched the basement thoroughly, and there was no such a girl there."

Ariah was stunned. "T-There was no such a girl there?"

"No." David shook his head firmly.

Pursing her lips, she remained silent. It was okay if it was just Ricco who said he didn't see Kierra. Now that even David claimed he didn't see Kierra, the matter had indeed become a little strange. She had seen the 18-year-old girl, who talked to her and held her hands...

Horror thus welled up in her chest. Could it be that she had met with a ghost?

She shuddered at the thought.

After moving out of Jimmy's apartment, Ariah had not been back here for a long time. When she pushed open the door, she was welcomed by the familiar environment before she slowly stepped into the living

room.

The decoration, including those small items, was exactly the same as the time when she left.

Those trinkets bought by her online remained in their original positions.

Standing in this strange and familiar environment, she was overwhelmed by all kinds of feelings. After a long while, she returned to her bedroom and remembered how she and Jimmy had not taken a wedding photo, as they had opted for a simple marriage. Couples usually had their wedding photos hanging in their bedrooms, except for the room that she was in now.

Ariah smiled faintly and lay down to rest. Perhaps after what happened the day before yesterday, she had become a little sensitive. When she was sleeping, she felt that there was a movement in the living room, which prompted her to get up from the bed. She picked up a stick before she stood behind the door.

Because of Jimmy's profession, he had put a stick in every room for safety measures. She had never used them when living with him for the past few years.

As the doorknob was turned, she tightened her grip on the stick in her hand, and her heart started to pound.

When the door was pushed open from the outside, she quickly raised the stick in her hand and struck the person on his back.

As the man snorted, he grabbed the stick and pulled it away. "What are you doing? It's me!"

J-Jimmy?

Ariah widened her eyes when she heard Jimmy's voice. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already thrown herself into his embrace.

Before Jimmy turned on the light, he was shocked by the gentle hug. Confused, he asked, "What's 911

After he turned on the light, the bedroom instantly lit up as if it was daytime.

The slender man looked down at the woman in his embrace. It was rare to see the expression on Ariah's face, and it was a look that Jimmy had never seen before. As her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she exuded a pitiful aura from head to toe.

Lowering his voice, he said, "What's wrong? Are you crying? Aren't you safe now? Don't cry, okay?"

Upon lifting her head, she rolled her eyes at him. "Who's crying? I'm fine!"

After she turned around, she took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness in her closed eyes. Then, she turned around and met Jimmy's eyes with a faint smile.

"What's so funny?" Ariah gave him a kick. "Go and take a shower now. You stink!"

With Jimmy's skills, it was not a problem for him to avoid her kick. However, he did not hide, and he seemed to be enjoying her kick. Smilingly, he turned and strode to the bathroom.

While bathing, he yelled, "I'm hungry. I haven't had dinner yet. Go prepare some food for me."

She was speechless when she heard that.

That was none of her business.

In spite of her complaint, she still slowly walked toward the kitchen.

As soon as the spaghetti was put in the pot, she heard his voice again. "I forgot to take my pajamas. Please get them for me now!"

Gritting her teeth, she put down the spatula in her hand as she returned to her room to get his pajamas. Then, she kicked open the bathroom door and threw the pajamas at him. After Jimmy reached out to catch it, he was surprised to find that she had long disappeared from the bathroom.

How could she be so swift?

When Ariah came out of the bathroom, her face was a little red, for she hadn't seen Jimmy for a few months. His figure seemed to have improved quite a lot. While his abdominal muscles became more alluring, his arms also looked much stronger...

What the hell was this?

Ariah shook her head, trying to dismiss the thoughts from her mind.
