Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 484

Since Howard teased Stanley earlier, Stanley didn't give him any good look during the meal.

During the dinner, Howard had been worried that Stanley would suddenly get angry and kick him out.

Because if he were Stanley and his daughter were to like another man more than him, he would definitely get really mad... The only reason Stanley had yet to kick him out was probably that they were friends for many years.

With an uncomfortable cough, he continued to eat.

After lunch, Howard thanked in a sincere manner, "Sharon, thank you for having me."

He thought that since he was being polite, Stanley probably wouldn't be mad at him anymore.

Getting his heartfelt thanks, Sharon was startled and quickly said, "Don't mention it. It's just a simple meal."

She couldn't get used to Howard being so formal and polite all of a sudden.

"The food tasted really good!" Howard still had that sincere look on his face.

Sharon was speechless.

Eventually, Stanley stood up and threw a cold glance at Howard before slowly saying, "Well, since you're done hugging my daughter and having a free dinner, what are you still doing here?" "Ah, no. This meal is absolutely not for nothing." Howard gave him a gossipy look. "I came here today to tell you some shocking news..."

"Oh. really? Come with me then!"

Stanley cut him off before he could even finish his words.

Seeing that, he just shut up and followed Stanley into the living room.

"What's wrong? Do you not want Sharon to hear it?" Howard looked puzzled. "But I haven't said anything yet. How do you know that she will be worried about Ariah if she hears what I'm about to say?" Did this man know how to read his mind?

Stanley just rolled his eyes at him. "Well, you don't come to me for no reason. I'm sure it's not some good news."

Although he didn't know what Howard was going to say, he could guess that it must be some bad news, so he didn't want Sharon to hear it.

Nevertheless, he didn't expect it to have something to do with both Jimmy and Ariah.

Recalling what happened in the clubhouse last night, Stanley suddenly had a bad feeling. With a sigh, he massaged his eyebrows and asked, "Did something happen to Jimmy and Anna?" "Wow, how did you guess that? Jeez, it's almost like you could read my mind!" Howard was very surprised.

"Well, stop flattering me. Just tell me what had happened."

Howard told Stanley everything that happened today in the hospital. Then, he revealed the real purpose of his visit. "Actually, I came here not because of the gossip. I have something to ask you."

"What?"

Upon thinking for a while, Howard finally said, "I think that Jimmy treats Anna differently. He didn't say anything, even when she schemed against him like this. It's a little weird. Besides, I've heard about Anna for a long time, but I never know where she came from. When I asked Jimmy about her background today, he didn't wanna tell me a single word, but you must know something, right?"

Stanley went silent for quite some time. His brows were slightly furrowed as he was pondering about

something.

"Stanley! What's on your mind?"

Getting no answer, Howard waved his hand in front of Stanley and urged, "You're making me even more curious about the relationship between them. Quick, tell me, how did they know each other?" After a long while, Stanley finally said in a low voice, "Well, I do know a little about how they met..."

"Really? Tell me!" Howard was quite excited.

Stanley rubbed his temples and said, "Well, I just know that Anna is someone that he has known from a long time ago, even before he became a police officer."

Hearing that, Howard was puzzled. "Huh? He wasn't a cop before?"

Stanley said in a low voice, "Yeah, he used to be a... DEA agent."

Howard was at a loss for words. A DEA agent? The most dangerous profession that dealt with the fierce and heartless drug dealers?

He couldn't believe that Jimmy had such a secretive past that even he, Jimmy's closest friend, didn't know about it.

Howard wasn't stupid though. Instantly, he had some speculations about Anna's identity. "So he knew Anna when he still worked in the DEA?"

"Yeah, if I'm not mistaken."

"So did Anna hold a secret of him, which was why he tolerated her all the time?"

"I think so, although I don't know what happened before exactly. The only thing I'm sure of is that Jimmy wouldn't treat a woman so generous for no reason. It must be something to do with what had happened before."

On the other side, returning home, Anna was still quite unwilling to accept the reality. After she found what she wanted in the room, she took her keys and coat, then went out.

She came to Ariah's residential area but she didn't know which building did Ariah live in exactly, so she called her directly and asked Ariah to come out to meet her.

When Ariah received Anna's call, she almost thought that she had got the wrong call. "Hello..." "Hi, it's me, Anna."

Ariah was speechless. What was the point of Anna taking the initiative to see her?

"What do you want from me?" Ariah wasn't showing any kindliness, and her voice was cold.

"I'm here to talk to you about Jimmy."

Tsk, was Anna here to flaunt her relationship with Jimmy?

Instantly, Ariah sneered. "Miss Anna, I'm not interested in the business between you and Jimmy, so please don't call me again in the future. Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

Ariah was disgusted by them, and she didn't want to know anything about them. In fact, she would like to keep away from them as far as possible.

Just as she was about to hang up, Anna's cold voice came, saying, "Hold on, don't you want to know what happened to Jimmy before you two got married?"
