Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 477

"I'm the mistress?" Anna sneered upon hearing Sharon's words and looked back to Ariah, saying, "Miss Myers, do you really think that Jimmy loves you? I'm afraid you're just a substitute." Before Ariah could say something, Sharon retorted, "That's enough. Stop sowing discord between them..."

"What did you say just now?" Ariah interrupted and looked straight into Anna's eyes.

Anna sneered, then looked at her coldly, shaking her head. "Miss Myers, I thought you could sense that Jimmy never really trusted you even though you two are married." Instantly, Ariah's face turned pale completely.

It was true. Jimmy had never truly shared his heart with her for all these years.

They were like strangers.

After saying that, Anna turned around and helped Jimmy up, who was still lying on the sofa. "Jimmy, you're drunk. Shall I take you home?"

When Jimmy heard her soft voice, he was still in a daze, wondering if it was Ariah talking to him.

Because he seemed to have heard her voice

earlier...

So it must be Ariah talking to him now, right?

"Alright, let's go home..." Jimmy staggered to his feet and pulled Ariah' into his embrace.

On the other hand, Ariah watched Jimmy leave with Anna just like that.

Just as Sharon wanted to chase after the two, Stanley pulled her back. "Where are you going?"

"Let go of me. I'm wanna ask Jimmy why he left with that woman while Ariah is still here!"

Hearing that, Stanley pulled her back and said, "You better don't. Ariah didn't even go after him..."

However, Sharon thought Ariah must have been so angry that she just stood rooted to the ground, but then Ariah said calmly, "Well, I've divorced with Jimmy already, so he can do whatever he wants. I don't care anymore."

Upon hearing that, Sharon widened her eyes in disbelief and had a sense that Ariah was truly mad.

It was obvious that Ariah still cared about Jimmy.

Nevertheless, Ariah just smiled at her as she said, "Sharon, sorry to disturb you last night. You guys can go back first. I'll take the cab back."

Sharon hurriedly said, "I can get Stanley to send you back..."

"No need! Don't worry. I can go back by myself." Ariah refused and walked out. Then, she thought of something, paused, and said, "By the way, I think maybe you two should stop the silent war. It was quite childish for two adults to act like this. Besides, it'd be a great loss if someone takes advantage of the situation."

After she said that, she shot a cold glance at Liam, who had been watching the show from the sidelines. She was warning Liam not to play tricks like this anymore, as she knew that he was the mastermind behind tonight's events.

Nevertheless, Liam just leaned against the wall, shrugging his shoulders noncommittally.

Ariah snorted and couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She turned around and left.

Sharon wanted to chase after her, but Stanley grabbed her hand and took her out, saying, "Didn't Ariah ask you to go home with me? Let's do what she said."

Pursing her lips, she wanted to pull out her hand, but in the end, she didn't.

Stanley then tightened his grip.

When they walked out of the clubhouse, it was drizzling outside and Ariah had left already.

"Stop looking." Stanley held her coat together. "She's fine. I saw her get into a taxi." "Really?"

"Yeah, I won't lie about her safety."

With a humph, Sharon didn't say anything.

The two of them stood under the eaves but the drizzle was still blown into their faces. With a frown, Stanley pulled her back a few steps and couldn't help scolding her, "Why did you come over here when it's still raining!"

Meanwhile, he stood in front of her, shielding her from the pouring rain, which made Sharon felt rather safe and warm.

Ever since they started the fight, they hadn't been this close to each other. Being enveloped by him, she could sense the air around them was filled with his scent it was a mix of alcohol and tobacco... Sharon wrinkled her nose at the smell of tobacco and mumbled, "It wasn't raining when I came..."

"Don't talk back!"

"Well, it's true..."

Sharon then snorted. "Liam called to tell me that Jimmy was here looking for whore and Ariah just happened to hear that, so she insisted on coming over. I was worried so I followed her..." "Are you worried about Ariah only?" Without looking down, Stanley could sense her body stiffen and his lips curled slightly. "Pfft, I think you're worried about me looking for whore outside too, right?" "Th-that's not true!" Sharon was so embarrassed that she quickly pushed him away. "I'm not worried about you at all!"

Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really?"

"Yep, not at all!"

In the darkness, Stanley's figure was tall and strong and his dark eyes were fixed on her. Slowly, he approached her. Under his hot gaze, Sharon felt a little uncomfortable and quickly warned, "Stop there!" "Oh?"

"You better just stand there. There's no need to get so close. Anyway, what took the valet so long..." muttered Sharon.

Although inside her heart, she was actually cursing herself for being nervous.

Biting her lips, she quickly looked away. She was still wearing his coat, which was so large that it made her look like a child wearing their parent's clothes and she was a little... adorable.

Seeing her like this, Stanley was suddenly lightened up. He was a man and should be more generous than her. Just like Ariah said, they should stop the silent war as it was quite childish. Sighing, he walked over and put his arm around her shoulder. "Let's go home."
