Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 503

When Ariah heard Jimmy's words, she chuckled, "How's Anna's situation?"

How would Jimmy know when he had not gone to see her? All he knew was some of the basic information that the doctor told him voluntarily.

Without even a blink of an eye, Jimmy lied, "She's almost recovered. She has been in the hospital for days now, and the doctors handled her condition very well."

None of the doctors came to inform Jimmy about Anna's condition today, so he thought she might have felt better.

However, Ariah frowned, "Are you sure that Anna is getting better? I saw that she was terribly traumatized that day, and she was completely in a trance. That kind of condition was considered a very serious mental damage."

"Why are you so long-winded? I meant what I said. Were you the one who visited her or me?"

The response from Jimmy left Ariah dumbfounded.

"Don't be so long-winded. Hurry up and go to sleep!"

When Jimmy ordered her to sleep, Ariah gritted her teeth. After so long, his temper was still so bad-tempered, and she really wanted to scratch his face.

While she was criticizing him, suddenly, everything went dark. It turned out that Jimmy covered her eyes with his big hand and ordered, "Go to bed!"

Just as Ariah turned around and was about to push him away, Jimmy became agitated, so he simply pressed her tightly and said in a low voice, "If you continue to make any movements, you shall bear the consequences!"

Again, Ariah was at a loss for words.

The moment Ariah heard his obviously hoarse voice, she didn't dare to move.

Meanwhile, as Jimmy looked at the obedient Ariah who was beside him, he snorted and whispered in her ear, "You told me that you were acting when you were in the hands of Kevin. Ariah, I don't believe it. I don't believe that your despair was just a show."

In fact, when Jimmy went home, he was angry for a long time because of her words. After he thought about it, he still couldn't believe her words.

How could it be possible that such a genuinely disappointed expression on her face was fake?

However, Ariah let out a chuckle and answered, "Jimmy, do you still not understand me after so many years of marriage? If I really was in despair, things wouldn't have turned out like what it was that day." "What will you do then?"

"I will leave you in silence, give up on you, and treat you as a stranger. From then onward, you will no longer be in my life, and I will continue my life with a new relationship and live an elegant and beautiful life again."

Stunned, Jimmy couldn't help but admit that that was the real Ariah. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to have such clarity.

If they were to compare, Ariah would be the most ruthless one, while Jimmy would never be as good as her.

There was a misunderstanding, and it was indeed time to make things clear, so Jimmy pursed his lips and said, "Howard told me that you already knew that nothing happened between Anna and me." "That's right."

Lightly, Ariah nodded her head.

Suddenly, Jimmy tightened his arm and said, "It's true that nothing happened between us. I was so drunk that I couldn't even get up that day, let alone cheating on you with Anna..." "I know, Howard told me all about it, and he even let me hear the recording. It was indeed Anna's voice." Calmly, Ariah replied.

With a tight frown, Jimmy asked, "Wait, then why do you still treat me so coldly when you've already known the truth?"

Stunned, Ariah was asked, "Uh, how am I supposed to treat you then?"

When Jimmy suddenly received such a response from her, he was dumbfounded.

"Well, it's getting late. I want to rest."

As Ariah spoke, she let out a yawn, then closed her eyes and began to sleep, but she was too close to him, and her body would somehow always touch his. In order not to get too close to him, she deliberately leaned her body to the side. However, as soon as she moved her body, she was pulled back by Jimmy forcefully.

That action of his made her speechless.

Nonetheless, Ariah couldn't be bothered to argue with him, so she continued sleeping.

After a long while, Ariah fell asleep in his embrace, and her calm breathing was heard. However, Jimmy couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Throughout the night, he had his deep gaze fixated on Ariah's calm face.

What on earth was she thinking? The misunderstanding was already clearly explained, but why did he feel... that she was getting farther away from him?

At that moment, Jimmy's thin lips pressed together in a straight line as he stared at Ariah, who was soundly asleep in his embrace.

The next morning, Ariah was woken up by the sound of the door being opened. When she opened her eyes, she saw a nurse that was standing awkwardly at the door with a tray in her hand.

Just as Ariah was just about to speak, she realized that her body was being held tightly by someone. When she turned around to look, it was Jimmy.

"Miss Myers, it's time for you to take your temperature. It's my third time entering your ward, but I saw that... Uhm, I saw that you both were still sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb you." The nurse's face flushed after she spoke.

In fact, Ariah's face was also flushed. Immediately, she reached out to the nurse and asked for the thermometer. Then, she took her temperature while she tried to get out of Jimmy's embrace. When she looked at the time and realized that it was already nine... With an exclaimed at how late it was and how they were able to sleep so soundly.

As soon as Jimmy felt that his embrace was empty, he narrowed his eyes and saw Ariah was sitting on the side while she stared at him in a daze. With a frown, he asked, "When did you wake up?"

"I just woke up."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

When Ariah heard his question, she shrugged, "I did, but you didn't hear me because you were sleeping soundly."

"That's probably because I haven't had a good rest in so long. Last night, when I was with you, I felt relaxed, so I was in a deeper sleep than usual." As Jimmy explained, he went to the bathroom to wash up. A moment later, Ariah heard the sound of the tap water splashing in the bathroom, and her face turned red.

After a series of examinations, the doctor said Ariah had recovered, and she was eligible to be discharged in the afternnon.

Before Ariah left the hospital, she wanted to visit Anna. However, when she remembered that Jimmy was by her side, she gave up the idea.

After Ariah was discharged, Jimmy decided to send her home. However, halfway through, Ariah realized that he was going in the wrong direction, so she had to remind him, "This isn't the way to my apartment. You're taking the wrong way."

Meanwhile, Jimmy, who was in the driver's seat, looked steadily forward and said, "You will be going to my place."

With a frown, Ariah asked, "Why should I go to your place?"

After Jimmy paused for a moment, he said, "I took a day off today, and I can stay with you at home, so I want you to go to my place to rest."

"Jimmy, I'm fine now. You heard what the doctor said when he examined my condition earlier." At that moment, Ariah thought that he was worried about her, so she reassured him, "I'm fine on my own, so you can just send me back home. I won't be going to your place."

In an instant, Jimmy's face clouded over. Then, he stopped the car and turned to look at Ariah, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat. "You're such a smart person, don't you understand what I mean?" Paused for a moment, Ariah asked, "What were you trying to tell me? I really didn't get it."

"D*mn it!" As Jimmy got angry from the embarrassment, he hammered the steering wheel and asked, "You... Can't you see that I'm trying to

get you back?"

Indeed, he was trying to get her back by his side because he wanted to restore the marriage!

Back then, Jimmy wanted to divorce Ariah because Director Sherlock had called him to tell him that he found evidence to prove that Kevin was still alive... In order to protect Ariah's safety, Jimmy had no choice but to divorce her.

In fact, Jimmy knew that if Kevin was still alive, Kevin's plan to come back to find him would definitely involve Ariah, so he decisively divorced Ariah to avoid her from being harmed. However, he didn't imagine that she would still be kidnapped by Kevin...

Now that Kevin had been locked up, then Jimmy no longer had any worries... So, last night he had been thinking about it all night, and he wanted to restore the marriage.
