Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 499

That was what Ella had told Ariah on the first day she married into the Hudson Family.

Even now, Ariah still remembered it clearly.

Putting aside the fact that she had failed to carry two babies in three years, she even hadn't given birth to any children until now. It was no wonder that Ella would come to the hospital looking for her and questioned her straightly whether she and Jimmy had divorced.

Just as Ariah was thinking about how to reply, Ella seemed to have seen through her mind and snorted. "Tsk, are you still trying to trick me? If it wasn't for the fact that I know someone from the Civil Affairs Bureau, I'm afraid you guys would just keep me in the dark forever!"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Ariah could only nod and admit.

"Yes, Jimmy and I have indeed divorced. As for the reason, you could ask him..."

"I don't care about the reason for your divorce." Ella interrupted her and gave her a sidelong glance. "But since you're divorced from Jimmy, you're no longer part of our family."

Ariah let out a bitter laugh. "You're right."

"Anyway, I'm here to check whether you two were really divorced. Since it's real, there's nothing more left to say." With that, Ella turned around and left. She did not want to stay here for a second longer.

Ariah was left stunned there.

Then, Ella thought of something and turned around, saying coldly, "Since you and Jimmy were divorced, I hope you will stay away from him from now on. With his background, he could find a better wife." It seemed that Ella was happy to see them divorce.

Ariah just smiled bitterly.

It was seven o'clock in the evening. Jimmy came out of the office and was about to get some food, as Ariah should be hungry by now. Just then, his phone abruptly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, he realized it was his mother. He picked it up casually and asked, "Mom, what's up?"

Ella said directly, "Hurry up and come back. I made a lot of delicious food for you today."

Jimmy was about to refuse, but upon thinking for a moment, he asked, "Did you make soup too?"

"Yes, it's still simmering. You can have it when you come back."

"Alright, I'll be right back."

Ella was happy to hear that and hung up the phone. On the other hand, Jimmy decided to take home-cooked meals for Ariah instead of doing takeaways, since it would cost him less time and the food from home would be much hygienic and tasty.

Thinking about Ariah's hunger, he drove home quite fast, and it only took him half of the usual time to get home by taking a shortcut.

As soon as he arrived, the door opened. Apparently, Ella had been waiting for him. "Come in. It's cold outside."

Jimmy took off his coat, and Ella took over it to hang it up. Just as she was about to speak, Jimmy asked, "Is the food ready?"

"Almost, I just need to finish that one last dish and we can start eating."

"Then I'll go and eat first," Jimmy said as he went to the dining hall. He planned to finish dinner quickly and then took the food to the hospital. However, Ella stopped him, to which Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come here. There's someone I'd like you to meet." Ella gave him a mysterious glance.

Hearing that, Jimmy laughed and refused, "Nah, I don't have time to meet any guests today. I've to leave soon after dinner."

"It won't take you long." Ella glared at her son and insisted, "Come with me!"

Then, she took Jimmy with her forcefully.

In the living room, a young girl in her twenties sat on the sofa quietly. Seeing Jimmy come, she looked at him timidly with a blush.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes and asked, "This is..."

"Jean, come on here. Let me introduce you to my son, Jimmy." Ella waved to the girl.

"Hello, Jimmy." Jean Jackson looked rather shy.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Jimmy laughed.

"Jimmy, this is Jean Jackson." Ella continued to introduce Jean as if she didn't hear Jimmy's question, "Do you remember that I used to take you to the Jackson's when you were a kid and you and your brother even made Jean cry?"

Saying so, Ella then took Jean's hand and said with a smile, "Jean, you were only two years old at that time and you just learned to walk. But, my sons were really naughty back then. They always made fun of you."

Instantly, Jean's face turned red. "Mrs. Hudson, it's been a long time already. I don't quite remember it anymore." "Ah, it's okay if you don't remember since you were too young at that time. But it doesn't matter. Now that you have come back from abroad, you will have plenty of time to get along well with Jimmy." Hearing that, Jean glanced at the tall and strong man next to her. He was really good-looking, and his temperament was hard and cold, which was exactly the type she liked.

At the same time, Ella spotted the blush on Jean's face and nudged her son slightly. "Jimmy, take Jean to dinner."

Being nudged by his mother, Jimmy almost bumped into the girl, but thankfully, he stabilized himself in time and then helped the girl up, asking politely, "Are you alright?"

Jean could feel his strong palm touching her shoulder. Her thin body seemed to be under his solid protection, and her breath was filled with his masculinity.

"I-I'm fine," she said with a blush.

Jimmy then let go of her and gave his mother a look. Without saying further, he went straight to the dining hall.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Ella took Jean's hand happily and followed.

At the dinner table, Jimmy ate very quickly, as if someone was urging him, whereas Ella was praising how great Jean was. Jean came from a well-known and extremely educated family and she had studied abroad for many years.

Meanwhile, Jimmy finished his meal in five minutes and nodded lightly to his mother's words, then commented, "Miss Jean sounds like a great girl. She should be able to find a husband who can match her." After that, he stood up. "Mom, take your time. I have something else to attend to, so gotta go now."

"Hey! Come back!" Ella hurriedly called out to him.

Jimmy had no choice but to stop. "Yes, mother?"

"Jean and I only took two bites, and you're leaving. You're not showing any courtesy at all. Come back and finish the meal with us!" demanded Ella with a sullen look.
