Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) -
Chapter 504
After Ariah listened to Jimmy's words, she didn't seem very much surprised. On the contrary, she looked calm, and her gaze was fixated on Jimmy. No one knew what she was thinking about. When Jimmy waited for a long time, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, he became a little impatient. "So, do you want to get back together or not? Say something!"
What attitude was that?
With a frown, Ariah answered, "I have a question."
"Sure."
"Why do you want to restore the marriage?" Straightforwardly, Ariah asked, "Jimmy, I'm not a toy. I have my own thoughts and feelings. Some time ago, you were the one who took me to the Civil Affairs Bureau and personally divorced me, but now you're telling me you want to get married again? How ignorant am I to be played by you like this?"
Who is he to divorce her and restore the marriage whenever he wanted to? What did he take her for?
"Am I supposed to cooperate with you and file a divorce again the next time you ask me to?"
At that moment, Ariah's gaze darkened, "I'm sorry, I don't want to restore the marriage."
When Jimmy heard that, he was stunned.
Originally, he thought that everything was under his control. Before the divorce, he planned to get rid of Kevin, then tell her about his plan to remarry her. In fact, he was confident that Ariah would definitely get back together with him... But now, everything was out of hand.
With a frown, Jimmy asked, "Why don't you want to go restore our marriage? I've already told you that nothing happened between Anna and me. I didn't touch her back then, nor now."
"You didn't touch her before...?"
"Yes! Two years ago, when she went to look for you with that photo of us in bed, it was a plan of mine." Slowly, Jimmy said uttered, "Two years ago, Anna told me that she saw Kevin. At that time, I didn't believe it, but I still felt uneasy in my heart, so in order not to implicate you, I had already planned to divorce you two years ago, so I asked Anna to take the photo and look for you. However, two years later, Kevin didn't appear, so I've been procrastinating and reluctant to divorce you. I even felt lucky and thought that maybe Anna made a mistake two years ago..."
So he was the one who was behind all the entanglements, the on and off throughout these two years?
In fact, if Jimmy really wanted to divorce Ariah, he would be able to divorce her in less than two hours.
It was impossible for him not to get it done even after two years!
It was only now that Ariah came to her senses. Everything was part of his plans, and it was him who was unwilling to divorce, and not that he couldn't leave her.
Which also meant that the pain she had suffered in the past two years was just a joke.
In a daze, Ariah looked at the man in front of her, "Why didn't you tell me what happened two years ago?"
With a frown, Jimmy answered, "That's because here's no need for you to know about these things."
So he was saying that because she didn't have to know about it, so he had been keeping it from her?
Then, Ariah stared at him and suddenly asked, "Jimmy, do you love me?"
Dumbfounded, Jimmy didn't expect that his request to restore the marriage would turn out to be such a complicated problem.
After a long while, Jimmy felt that his head was spinning due to the question, so he massaged his temples and asked, "Ariah, what does this have to do with the restoration of our marriage?" "Don't change the subject. Tell me, do you love me?"
For a moment, Jimmy pursed his lips into a tight line and looked at her.
When Ariah noticed his expression, she took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, you don't have to answer. I get it."
After that, she got out of the car and headed off.
However, this time, Jimmy didn't chase after her. Instead, he stared at her back as she left, while his frown tightened...
In the meantime, Sharon received the news from Howard that Ariah was admitted to the hospital. When she heard the news, she immediately brought the children to Ariah's house.
It was Anthony who personally sent them over. Initially, he had wanted to follow them to Ariah's place, but Sharon smiled and said, "It'll be awkward if you come along. Why don't you head back first? I'll get a taxi when we're about to head home..."
Then, she thought for a moment and said, "Fine, I'll call Stanley to come and pick us up when we're about to head home. Are you rest assured then?"
During this period of time, Sharon had been resting at home, so Stanley decided to let Anthony take care of her. In fact, he was her driver and also her bodyguard. It made Sharon feel that Stanley was too overprotective.
Although she had discussed this with him several times and told him not to do so, he still didn't listen.
When Ariah opened the door and saw Sharon and her two children standing outside the door, she was so surprised that her mouth was agape, "You guys... why are you here?"
"Hey, we came to visit you." Excitedly, Sharon explained, "Howard has been coming over to my house for meals for the past two days. Tonight during dinner, he spilled the beans. When I found out the news, I immediately brought them over to visit you."
Meanwhile, with the two cute children standing at the door, Ariah was moved to tears and said, "I was worried that if you knew, you would definitely come to see me, so I didn't tell you that I was admitted to the hospital."
With an upset expression, Sharon exclaimed, "Of course we would be worried about you. Why didn't you tell us then... Forget it, you're already discharged from the hospital anyway, so I'll let you off this time. Ariah, why were you admitted to the hospital this time?"
Fortunately, Howard's mouth did not reveal the reason why she was sent to the hospital. Otherwise, Ariah would have personally ripped his mouth apart.
"Nothing. It was just because I ate something bad that caused diarrhea. I've only been in the hospital for a couple of days. I'm alright now. Don't worry." Only then did Sharon relax.
However, Seamus frowned as if he was an adult. "Wasn't Uncle Jimmy taking care of Aunt Ariah? How could he let you eat something bad and ended up in the hospital?"
When Ariah heard his words, she couldn't help but laugh. Then, she squatted down and touched his handsome face and teased him, "Tsk, when our Seamus grows up, he'll definitely take good care of girls. It'll be a great blessing to be your wife in the future."
Immediately, Seamus' face flushed when he heard the word "wife" because he knew what it meant, and he was too shy to say a word.
"Aunt Ariah, when we left the house, we saw Uncle Jimmy came to find Father. Since Mother told us that you were ill, why didn't Uncle Jimmy come to take care of you? Usually, when Seamus and I fall sick, our parents would take care of us..."
Embarrassed, Sharon immedaitely covered Sadie's mouth.
However, Ariah waved her hand to show that she did not care. Meanwhile, Sadie did not notice the interaction between the two adults, and as soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself at Ariah as usual Subconsciously, Ariah reached out to catch her, but Sadie's knee happened to bump into the spot where Kevin had kicked her when the two forces met, and Ariah's expression paled from the pain.
In an instant, Sharon reacted and pulled Sadie out of Ariah's embrace. Startled, she asked, "Ariah, what's wrong?"
As Ariah endured the pain, she smiled and answered, "I'm fine. It was just that I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach just now. Don't worry. I'm feeling better now."
That answer left Sharon half-doubted...
In the meantime, Anthony had just told Stanley that Sharon had sent him back when he heard Howard's voice from the living room, "Anthony, come out quickly. I have something to discuss with you!" When Anthony went out to look, he met with Dr.
Perkins, who was smiling harmlessly as he placed the wallet in his hand. "Charles, I need you to help me with something. Jimmy is in a bad mood, and he wants to drink, so I need you to go get some beer for
us."
It was definitely not what Anthony expected to be.
Nonetheless, Anthony had to resign himself to his fate and went out to buy some beer for them.
"Charles, this is so nice of you." Since Howard ordered him to do it for free, he was still a little embarrassed about it, so he promised Anthony without hesitation, "Charles, I think you seem quite lonely without a partner. I promise, someday I will be your matchmaker and find you a girlfriend."
At that moment, Howard the matchmaker, said with a serious face, "Hey, what kind of girl do you like? Do you like women who are innocent and lovely, or sexy and glamorous? Come on, don't be shy. Tell me your type, and I will pay attention to it for you next time."
