Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 464

Jimmy's expression did not look too good upon reaching the Myers Family. Of course, Ariah did not dare to provoke him, and she just stood by the side and rang the doorbell. The person who opened the door was the maid called Shonna, who paused for a moment before inviting them in.

"I didn't know that you'll be back today. No wonder Dakota wanted to cook."

Shonna had worked in the Myers Family for more than ten years, so Ariah had always respected her. "Shonna, the tonics here are for you."

Following a laugh, Shonna took the tonics without hesitation. "Why do you need to bring me something? You can just come back anytime you want."

Ariah smiled upon hearing that.

Just then, Dakota came out of the kitchen. She was still wearing an apron, and her hands were wet, which suggested how busy she had been. "Glad to see you here, Ariah and Jimmy. Please sit down and I'll get you some fruits."

Upon saying this, Dakota hurried back to the kitchen and brought out a big plate of some fruit that Ariah loved. "I bought it this morning, so it's very fresh."

Ariah pulled her mother to sit down and smiled. "Mom, since I'm already back, why don't you spend more time with me. Shonna can cook for us in the kitchen." After that, she opened her eyes wide while looking at Shonna. "Is that okay?"

With a somewhat embarrassed expression, Shonna replied, "Yes, of course."

Then, Ariah silently helped remove the apron from her mother's body. Then, she ate the fruit and talked to her mother happily.

Squinting her eyes, Jimmy squinted his eyes as he stood at one side.

"Why is Jimmy standing? Sit down."

Just then, Dakota noticed that Jimmy had been standing on the side. Glaring at Ariah, she asked, "Why don't you invite Jimmy to sit down and eat?" While rubbing her nose, she replied, "Why would I want to mess with him? He has been sulking for some time. I don't even dare to speak to him."

Upon hearing that, Dakota knocked hard on her head. "Did you make him angry again?"

She was speechless.

How could Dakota say that? Wasn't Ariah her daughter?

"Mom, don't blame Ariah. She's young and doesn't know how to behave properly. Sometimes she even doesn't know that she has made me angry, but I don't blame her." Jimmy raised an eyebrow and sat down beside Ariah with a smile. "It's normal for couples to argue. She occasionally quarrels with me, but I won't take it to heart."

She was stunned when she heard his words.

He acted so well in front of Dakota that Ariah could say no words to retort him.

Following a chuckle, Dakota said, "That's right. Jimmy, you're elder than Ariah, so please forgive her. She can be quite cold and stubborn sometimes if she gets angry." "Sure. I will tolerate her."

Why did he pretend to be a good husband now? Ariah rolled her eyes in disappointment.

With a smile, Dakota looked at them and said. "I am happy to see that you are getting along with each other well."

"We have always been doing well. Don't think too much, okay?"

"Okay, I trust you." It seemed that what she had heard were just rumors, for the two of them didn't look like they wanted to divorce. That was indeed a relief for a mother like Dakota.

While peeling an orange for her mother, she said casually, "Mom, you look quite tired. I bought some bird's nest and for you. Get Shonna to stew it for you every morning."

"There's no need to bother Shonna. I can do it myself."

Ariah's face darkened, but she didn't say anything. Without noticing it, Dakota kept blaming her. "Why do you need to spend so much money to buy a tonic? I always keep all the living expenses you transfer to me every month. I'll give all the money to you when you need it in the future."

"The money is for you, and you can spend it as you like." Ariah's expression was a little ugly. "Please be generous with yourself. I have my own money, so you really don't need to save for me."

Dakota knew that she must be unhappy now and dared not to say anything more. With a sigh, she uttered, "Well, let's not talk about this matter. Jimmy is still here, so you should restrain yourself. Don't make it a joke for him."

Turning her head, she asked, "Am I a joke to you?"

Immediately, Jimmy stuffed a grape into his mouth and said, "Well, I've seen a bigger joke."

Ariah glared at him.

"You're the one who asked me this question." He shrugged.

The words made Ariah grit her teeth.

In response, Jimmy put some grapes into her mouth. "Mom said that I'm here, so please behave yourself!"

Ariah was instantly rendered speechless.

Their antics made Dakota relieved. As she got up, she said, "Ariah, sit here with Jimmy first. I'll go to the kitchen to check on the meals."

Ariah knew that her mother could not sit still for a long time. Although she was angry, she could not be bothered to utter anything and could only let her mother go.

Soon after that, Jimmy's put on a gossipy face. "You got no money on your card because you transfer money to your mother every month. I didn't know that you are such a filial daughter." Following a paused and said, "Also, why do I feel that there is something wrong with the atmosphere in your family? Do you hate Shonna very much?"

Ariah then said lazily, "How did you know that?"

"Your smile was so fake that only a blind man can't see it."

"Oh, so you're not blind."

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Jimmy leaned over and pressed against her on the sofa. His tall, straight body soon covered her like a huge, dark cloud. "Don't think that I dare not do anything just because this is your home."

Ariah's face turned red. "What are you doing? Get up, aren't you afraid that my mom will suddenly come out and see us?" She then pushed him away as she scolded, "You're shameless. Go away now!" "I won't stand up unless you tell me what's going on with your family." It was rare for Jimmy to see her in such an awkward state, so he decided to flirt with her for a little longer.

At the moment, Ariah regretted bringing this pervert over for the dinner.

"Don't you dare!" Ariah glared at him warningly. "Get up!"

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. Let's wait for someone to come out and see how intimate we

n are.

"Alright. Get up now. I'll tell you the story."

Ariah knew he wouldn't give up if he didn't get what he wanted. It wouldn't be wise to throw a tantrum at him now, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

Only then did Jimmy feel satisfied. He lifted himself up and tried to get up from her body. Unfortunately, someone came in from the outside at the same time. Upon seeing the two overlapping bodies in the living room, the person immediately screamed, "You're disgusting!"
