Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 507

Indeed, Jimmy found the medicine in the television cabinet, then took it out and brought it back to Ariah. Without a word, he pursed his thin lips tightly and raised his hand to lift Ariah's clothes. Awkwardly, Ariah backed away, "I'll do it myself..."

"Don't move!"

At that moment, he pressed her hand down with one hand and lifted her clothes with the other. Meanwhile, Ariah, who was lying on the sofa, had her belly regularly rising and falling as she breathed. When Jimmy saw her reddened skin, he regretted his actions and silently scolded himself for not knowing the severity of the situation.

Slowly, Jimmy took out the ointment and applied it to her belly gently.

For a moment, Ariah's body stiffened. It wasn't right for her to push him away, nor was it appropriate for him to apply medication on her, so she just lay there in a daze and didn't know what to do for a moment. The living room, which was still lively just now, suddenly quieted down, and only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

Slowly, Ariah's goosebumps rose because of Jimmy's actions. Although his application was very gentle and soft, and she could barely feel any pain, but she could still feel his slightly rough fingers rubbing against her skin.

The area he touched was sensitive, and it caused her to feel a burst of numbness...

Tightly, Ariah bit her lip and turned her face away. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed his hand away and hurriedly covered her stomach with her clothes. "I'm fine now." "Why is your face flushed?" Confused, Jimmy glanced at her.

Meanwhile, Ariah glared at him and was too embarrassed to say anything. Was she supposed to say that her mind was running wild because of his actions?

That was too embarrassing!

When Jimmy was down, he threw the ointment aside and took out a wet tissue to wipe his hands. Immediately, Ariah changed the topic, "Is your leg okay?" Clearly, he was limping when he was walking just now.

"Are you worried about me?" When Jimmy heard her question, he raised an eyebrow.

"Just forget about what I said!"

With a snort, Jimmy stood up and was about to take off his pants when Ariah was startled by his actions, "What are you doing?"

"I want to have a look at my thigh."

"Go to the bathroom!"

As Jimmy rolled his eyes at her, he answered, "What is there to be corny about? It's not like you haven't seen it before. With such a good figure of mine exposed right in front of you, it would be your loss if you don't take a second look at me."

That response from him left her at a loss for words.

Never had she ever seen a man more narcissistic than him!

Initially, Jimmy was focused all of his attention on the wound on his thigh, but when he saw Ariah's angry expression, he found it interesting, and he couldn't help but want to tease her, so he took extra time to remove his belt.

There were only the two of them in the living room, and the action extremely ambiguous.

However, Ariah didn't expect him to really take it off right in front of her. For a long time, she glared at him and couldn't say anything until Jimmy pulled down the zipper of his pants, only she turned her face away in a panic.

Cheekily, Jimmy laughed.

In the next second, his expression changed when he noticed that blood was seeping out from his wound, and half of the white gauze was dyed red.

With a frown, Jimmy sat down and took out some clean gauze, together with some antiinflammatory medication from the first aid kit to change out the old gauze. Attracted by his actions, Ariah looked over and happened to see the gory and bloody wounds on his bandage. Immediately, her expression changed, and her hands subconsciously grabbed onto the sofa.

Even she felt pain when she looked at it.

However, Jimmy's expression didn't change at all.

After Jimmy changed the bandage, he turned his head and saw Ariah's pale face, so he smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt."

With her lips pursed, Ariah asked, "It really doesn't hurt? I think there are some painkillers in the first aid box. Why don't you take one?"

"It's not a big deal. However, if you're really worried about me, go get me a bottle of wine, and I will feel better after I have some wine."

Immediately, Ariah rolled her eyes at him, "How could you drink alcohol with that injury of yours?" Rashly, Jimmy answered, "It's fine. I even had a drink with Howard before I came."

At that moment, Ariah was so sulky that she felt her chest was suffocating. Angrily, she picked up the pillow and threw it at him, "Then why are you still applying medication on yourself? Why don't you just drink and forget about it?"

This time, Jimmy, who was hit in the face, did not get angry. On the contrary, he smiled and replied, "Fine, I was wrong. There will be absolutely no next time. If I do that again, you can directly slap me in the face!"

After he finished, he pressed Ariah's body back onto the sofa as he looked at her with a burning gaze, "I know you're worried about me. Since you care so much about me, why did you refuse to restore the marriage?"

"You, get up!"

"Was it because I didn't buy you a diamond ring? Or was it because there wasn't a grand marriage proposal ceremony? Or was my attitude not sincere enough?" With a serious tone, Jimmy looked straight into her eyes, almost looked through her mind. "All of these are just a piece of cake. As long as you promise to restore the marriage, I'll go and get the invitation done invitation tomorrow, and we shall have a wedding ceremony again. What do you think? I'll prepare any kind of wedding that you want."

For a moment, Ariah looked at him dumbfoundedly, because she didn't expect him to think that she was looking down on him for not giving her a wedding.

Bitterly she smiled, "Jimmy, I'm not a materialistic woman, so none of those are important to me."

"Since you don't care about these, then why aren't you willing to restore the marriage?"

Annoyed by his question, Ariah answered, "I don't want to restore the marriage, just like how you decided to hide the truth from me in the past! What if another enemy of yours appeared and abducted me again after we restored the marriage? I don't want to restore the marriage and risk myself from having to go through the incident again and not know anything about it as if I was a fool!"

Meanwhile, Jimmy couldn't believe what he heard. "You don't want to marry me again just because I didn't tell you about those trivial things?"

"You still think it's a small matter?" Instantly, Ariah's face darkened, "Jimmy, the most important thing between a married couple is honesty. I didn't blame you for not telling me before, but after I've met face-to- face with Kevin, you still didn't tell me about it. Do you still want to hide it from me?"

"I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you."

"I would rather know that there's a danger than be fooled like a fool!"

With a frown, Jimmy looked at her, "Ariah, those things in the past have nothing to do with you, so you don't have to know, and I don't want to tell you either."

At that moment, Ariah didn't expect him to say those words so bluntly. For a long time, she was in a daze before she had the ability to react, "Since that's the case, I don't think there's any need for us to restore our marriage. It's useless."

On the way back, Stanley was completely silent. The two children at the back seat had already fallen asleep, but Sharon was clearly still sulking. When they were about to reach home, Stanley said slowly, "Don't be angry. If you continue to be angry, you will get two more wrinkles by tomorrow." Angrily, Sharon gritted her teeth. "Are you saying that I'm old?"

That response from Sharon left Stanley tongue-tied. Sure enough, he shouldn't mention this topic with her because it would be a trap anyhow.

Then, Stanley cleared his throat and said, "Which woman would still look like they're in their early twenties after being a mother of two? Do you think you are old?" D*mn, Stanley's complimenting skills were getting more and more adept!"

However, Sharon glared at him. "Why don't you let me spend the night at Ariah's place? It's just one night. Can't you let me stay at my friend's place for one night?" After Stanley parked the car in the underground parking lot, he turned the engine off and unbuckled his seat belt, then leaned forward to unbuckle Sharon's seat belt. As he stared at her with his dark eyes, he asked, "Do you want to know the reason?"

"If you don't have a good excuse, don't even think that I will forgive you!"

With a low and gentle voice, Stanley answered, "It may be just a night for you, but for me, I wouldn't be able to see you for twelve hours. Sharon, I couldn't fall asleep without you."
