Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 472

Ariah was completely stunned on the spot. Her eyes were filled with disbelief while staring at him. What had he just said? Did he really think that she was filthy?

Was that just a joke?

She didn't believe that he would be so mean. There was no way that he would be such a disgusting man!

"S-Say it again!" Ariah stared at him with her eyes wide open "Repeat what you have just told me!"

Jimmy sneered, "Wasn't that clear enough? Ariah, you're just..."

Suddenly, a crisp slapping sound was heard.

Before he could finish his vulgar words, she had already slapped his face.

Staring at him coldly, she yelled, "You don't have the right to call me filthy!"

How foolish was she to feel that she should live with him again, regardless of the past conflicts? Was it all just because of the incident when she had been kidnapped?

She was indeed a fool! Regret poured through her at the moment.

Since he was so ruthless, she would not show him any mercy as well.

After wiping off the tears, she suppressed her selfblame and barked, "Do you want to divorce me? Well, listen carefully, I will divorce you now."

Then, she opened the door and strode toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.

All the staff members were having their break now, so she could only sit on the chair and wait for them to return. She recalled the time when Jimmy used all sorts of methods to prevent her from divorcing him. After the hustle that time, she was here again to launch the same revenge against the heartless man.

It was really ironic.

The two of them were exceptionally silent, and the atmosphere seemed to have been frozen.

In the end, Jimmy could not wait any longer, so he got up and made a call, after which two staff members rushed over. The one who looked like a leader shook Jimmy's hand politely while his eyes kept roaming between Ariah and Jimmy.

"Deputy Director Hudson, w-why don't you talk to her at home..." the man tried to persuade him.

"There's no need," Jimmy said brusquely. "Go settle the paperwork."

Since they were determined to get a divorce, the man could only silently bring them to the counter.

The staff member quickly prepared some documents and stamped them. "Please sign your names here."

Once taking over the pen, Jimmy signed without hesitation.

Ariah held the pen and was lost in thought, for she would no longer have anything to do with him after she signed on the documents.

She seemed to be hesitant, but when she saw how determined Jimmy had been, the corners of her mouth twitched before she let out a bitter laugh.

Why should she still think of him then?

Clenching her pen tightly, Ariah lowered her head and signed with a stolid expression.

After that, she dropped the pen and left.

While she was waiting for a taxi on the side of the road, Jimmy's car stopped beside her. As he stepped out of the car, his tall figure cast a shadow on her. "Get into the car. Let me send you home." "Officer Hudson, I'm not the kind of woman who can still be friends with my ex-husband after divorce. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you, so please stay away from me as far as you can. Don't appear in front of me again!"

Jimmy's gaze was fixed on her, his eyes dark and aggressive. Without uttering a single word, Ariah raised her head to stare back into his eyes.

After a while, Jimmy looked away and responded coldly, "It's up to you."

Then, he drove his car away.

Left on the main road, she found the wind blowing against her exceptionally chilly.

When the doorbell rang, Sharon was teaching her two children reading and learning. She had already been discharged for a few days, and she had almost recovered from her injuries. Right now, she only needed to lie down at home and rest.

"Mom, someone is out there."

Sadie's attention was not on the book. The moment she heard the doorbell, she immediately got up. "Mom, you can continue teaching Seamus. I'm going to open the door."

She was not tall, so how could she open the door?

Shaking her head, Sharon chuckled and opened the door. She was surprised to see that it was Ariah, whom she had not met for a few days.

"Ariah, why are you here?"

"Don't you welcome me?" "Of course not..." Sharon immediately pulled her in. "It's cold outside. Come in, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Even in the cold winter, the house equipped with a heater was warm and comfortable.

Ariah's hands and feet were cold. She had indeed stood outside for a very long time, and her lips had become very pale. It wasn't until she took a few sips of hot tea that she slowly came back to life. Seamus saw that Ariah's teeth were chattering although she was holding a teacup in her hands, so he ran to the bedroom and took out a small blanket to cover her. Ariah was moved by his act and said, "You are so kind. I love you very much."

Upon hearing that, Sadie asked in jealousy, "What about me? Don't you love me?"

Before Ariah could say anything, Seamus held Sadie's forehead and said, "Don't make any more trouble. I'll read a book to you in the room."

After that, he pulled Sadie away so that the adults could have a chance to speak.

Following a sigh, Ariah said, "Sharon, I'm really envious of you for having two cute little children." "You can also give birth to your own children," Sharon replied with a smile.

Pulling up the corners of her mouth, Ariah lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea.

Just then, Liam and Stanley walked out of the study with a serious expression as if they had been talking about something serious.

Upon seeing Ariah, Liam raised his eyebrows. "Hey, you're here too?"

Knowing how freakish Liam used to be, Ariah didn't even bother to glance at him, so she just pretended that he didn't exist.

Irked, Liam sneered. "You're indeed very lofty. No wonder you can't even make Jimmy stay. Aren't you afraid that he will divorce you?" "Shut up!"

The last sentence completely hit Ariah's Achilles' heel. Her expression changed as she threw the cup at Liam without hesitation.

"Calm down, Ariah."

Sharon wanted to stop her, but it was too late, for Ariah's cup had already been slung over Liam's body.

He did not expect that this woman would be so feisty. As he was splashed with tea, anger immediately flashed through his eyes.

Looking at Liam's expression, Sharon knew that he had been enraged. She was afraid that he would hit Ariah, so she subconsciously stood between the two of them.

Nevertheless, as soon as she got up, she was pulled back and fell into Stanley's arms.

In a low voice, he warned, "Stay still!"

The wound on her back had not recovered yet, so he was worried that she might be hurt again.

Sharon was leaning against his chest as she was hugged by him. The scent from his body made her drooping eyelashes tremble. Without uttering anything, she glacially pushed him away.
