Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 463

Sitting in the bathtub, Ariah asked in confusion, "Did you carry me here?"

Behind him, Jimmy leaned against the bathtub and looked at her tantalizing shoulders. Raising his eyebrows, he said, "Who else would it be if it wasn't me?"

"Could you please wake me up before you do this next time?"

"Why?"

"I'm not a three-year-old child. I have the ability to bathe myself, so there's no need to trouble you."

That rendered Jimmy speechless.

This was indeed the first time they bathed together although she had been married to him for so many years. Such a bath was an acceptable kind of romance, but she did not like it.

He did not expect her to be averse to this bath after he had slept with her last night.

Why was that so?

Leaning over, he held her shoulders and whispered, "Are you still shy? We did everything last night, so why are you still shy now?"

However, she didn't bother to pay attention to him as she grabbed a towel and stood up to leave. Suddenly, she was pulled by him who held her wrist hard. Following a shriek, she fell into his arms.

The water in the bathtub was still full. When she fell down, she directly choked on the water, after which she cursed in disgust, "Jimmy, are you mad? This is bathwater!"

In spite of this, he directly hugged her in his embrace. Her smooth skin made his Adam's apple bob slightly. Staring at her body with an elusive sensation, he said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

He hugged her so tightly that she could not get out of the bathtub. As her anger spiked, she glared at him and barked, "Jimmy, behave yourself!"

In response, his brows twitched as he asked, "Can't I touch my wife?"

She could find no words to retort him.

Just then, his hands stopped at the side of her waist, and his fingers started rubbing her skin. "What's the matter with this scar?" he inquired in a seemingly casual manner.

Her body stiffened when she heard that.

"Are you afraid that I'll ask about this scar? Is that why you don't want me to bathe you?" His voice grew deeper and more charming.

Rolling her eyes, she uttered, "N-No.."

"I noticed this scar when we got married. I even know that there are some other small scars on your body. However, I didn't ask you yet because I respect your privacy," Jimmy interrupted her lie. Upon withdrawing his hand, he lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. "Now, I want to know everything about you, so tell me about this scar."

As rage tore through her, she sat up and pushed him away. "Who doesn't have any scars? You do have scars too. I got this scar when I fell in my childhood. There's nothing to be curious about. You bathe yourself here. I'll leave now."

After that, she directly left without looking at the man in the bathtub.

Seeing that she got flustered by the question, he knew there must be some secrets behind it. The thought made him unknowingly squint his eyes.

When he came out of the bathroom, she had already put on her clothes and was answering a call in the living room. Upon seeing him, she asked, "Guess who I was talking to just now?"

There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

As he raised his eyebrows, he asked, "Your mom?" "How did you know that?" She was surprised.

He was really smart.

"Your tone and expression betrayed you. Did she try to impose something on you again? Your helpless expression was mingled with a bit of compromise and agitation. If the person is not close to you, you would have hung up long ago. Your mother must have made some unreasonable requests again."

It was no wonder that he was a policeman, for he was indeed good at figuring out one's thoughts.

After thinking for a while, she said, "My mother wants us to... have dinner with her."

Jimmy actually didn't know much about the Myers Family. He had been there only once on the day he got married to Ariah. She believed that he probably didn't like the Myers Family, so she had been observing his expression because she wasn't sure if he would agree.

However, after staring at her for a long time, he said stolidly, "Okay, no problem."

She looked at him in surprise, for she did not expect him to agree so quickly.

They departed after packing some essentials. Because of last night's absurdity, they only got up when it was close to noon. They drove slowly and planned to eat something first before going to the Myers Family.

It had been a long time since she had gone back.

Since it was inappropriate for the two to visit without bringing anything, Ariah went to the mall and bought something.

Her face turned red when she realized that the balance on the card was insufficient to pay for the items, and the receptionist's gaze eyes made her extremely embarrassed.

"Use this card." Jimmy handed her a card by her side.

Left with no choice, Ariah could only accept it. After swiping the card, she thanked him for his help. Looking at her with a faint smile, he said, "Your pay is quite good, so how could that happen to you? You don't usually buy fashionable items too. Where did you spend your money?"

"My money? I used it on another man. Do you believe it?"

Words eluded Jimmy at the moment.

He really wanted to strangle her.

"Did you buy luxury items for Anna? Other men who keep women outside would buy cars and houses. Have you bought them for Anna as well?"

That immediately rendered him speechless.

Upon taking a deep breath, he told himself in his heart that it was against the law to kill people on impulse.

However, Ariah still continued, "I didn't expect you to like someone like Anna. She's just like a little rabbit, which is soft and weak. Is it because such a fragile woman gives you the desire to protect her..." "Shut up!" Jimmy, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally broke out. "I have never seen a woman like you who asked her husband about another woman. What's wrong with you?"

Ariah usually treated Anna with sarcasm and mockery. If she got a little more jealous, it was very likely that she would even fight with Anna!

Nevertheless, she was now unusually calm apart from her initial anger. That irritated Jimmy who assumed that she must have got jealous of Anna.

Obviously, Ariah didn't expect that Jimmy would suddenly lose his temper. She paused for a moment before saying, "Did you get angry because I have used your card?"

Pointing at her, he couldn't say anything for a long time. As he took a deep breath, he barked, "How dare you? That's too much!"

After that, he strode away in anger.

There was nothing he could do to such a cold, heartless woman.
