Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 527

When the nanny who followed behind Ariah saw that Ariah suddenly stood frozen at the stairs, she called out to her, "Miss Myers?" Miss Myers?

In fact, she had been married to Jimmy for so many years, but in this family, not only did Jimmy's mother treat her as an outsider, even the nanny did not recognize her as a member of the family. Coldly, Ariah looked at her.

The nanny was stunned by the look from Ariah's eyes, "Uh... Miss Myers, are you alright? Why do you look so bad?"

Immediately, Ariah calmed herself down and shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine."

Since she had already divorced Jimmy, it was not wrong of the nanny to address her by her family name.

"Then let's hurry downstairs. Mr. Hudson is back, and dinner will be ready soon."

"Alright."

As Ariah followed, Jimmy turned around and looked at her with a frown. "Why are you so slow?"

Then, he reached out and pulled her over. As he ignored everyone else in the room, he placed his arm on Ariah's shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, this is Ariah. Ariah, this is my brother, Ko bi." Although Ariah felt a little uncomfortable, her smile was polite. "Nice to meet you, Kobi."

Nice to meet him?

With an eyebrow raised, Kobi's dark gaze glanced across her face. Quickly, he retracted it and smiled warmly. "I was overboard when you two got married. I'm sure you won't blame me for failing to deliver the wedding gift, right?"

The question was directed toward Jimmy.

With a faint smile, Jimmy answered, "Now that you're back, it doesn't matter when you give it to us. Just make sure you don't forget about it."

Again, Kobi raised his eyebrows. "Do you even need a gift from me?"

"My wife is a gold-digger. In fact, she was happy when she received the gift money after we got married. Now that I can receive extra gift money to make her happy, why not?"

Softly, Kobi chuckled and looked at Ariah with a dark gaze, "Let me know what gift do you want, and I'll give it to you when the time comes."

Meanwhile, Ariah's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hand and answered, "Oh no, there's no need for that. Jimmy is just joking. Don't take it seriously, Kobi."

How could he say that she was a gold-digger? If she was a gold-digger, would she marry a poor police officer like him?

Quietly, Ariah muttered to herself.

Since Jimmy and Kobi hadn't seen each other for several years, they naturally had things to talk about. While the two brothers stood at the side and talked softly, Ariah noticed that they were about the same height, both tall and outstanding.

Personality wise, Kobi was calm and reserved.

Whereas Jimmy was preeminent.

The two of them were both equivalent to each other in terms of influence and power.

For a moment, Ariah couldn't withdraw her gaze until Kobi, who was speaking, suddenly looked at her. The dark gaze that he had made Ariah's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately lowered her gaze.

At the dinner table, Hudson's father and Kobi were talking about the old days. The topic between men could not be more attached to work, which made Ella had a headache and complained, "Well, your son had just returned, but here you are, asking him all sorts of questions. Aren't you tired? Stop asking and let him enjoy his meal."

Then, Hudson's father cleared his throat and waved his hand to stop the conversation.

Meanwhile, Ella took some of the dishes and placed them in Kobi's bowl as she said, "Have more of these. The food at home is definitely more delicious than the one you had overseas." "Thank you, mom."

"Also, this soup used to be your all-time favorite soup. Come on, drink it."

After Kobi took a sip, he nodded. "It tastes just as good as before."

Delighted, Ella uttered, "Now that you're back, you won't be leaving again, right? It's better to be at home than to live abroad. When you're abroad, you're alone outside with no family, and your father and I are always worried about you..."

"Mom, didn't you ask dad not to talk much? Why are you nagging Kobi instead?"

While Jimmy took some food for Ariah, he commented, "You even told dad not to be so long-winded, but turns out you're the one who is long-winded."

"How dare you!" Out of anger, Ella answered.

However, Jimmy turned to look at Ariah and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Since the moment she came downstairs, she had been looking pale, and she was silent, so Jimmy frowned and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"

Suddenly, Ariah snapped back to reality and shook her head, "No, I'm fine."

At that moment, Ella snorted. "Our family is having a reunion dinner, but she can't even get a word in our conversation, so of course, she was uncomfortable." Then, Jimmy's face darkened, and he put down his cutlery.

Annoyed, Ella glared at her youngest son and said, "How dare you lose your temper with me? Was it wrong of me to say that? If you're still married, then I really shouldn't have said that. But you're divorced now, so what's wrong with me saying such a thing?"

With a smirk, Jimmy announced, "Ariah was the one who wanted to divorce me. It's not that I don't want her, but it was that she didn't want me. Now that we're together again, we're going to restore our marriage tomorrow."

Those words were said to protect Ariah's reputation. In fact, Jimmy had spoken highly of her so that the Hudson Family did not dare to look down on her.

However, Ariah didn't expect that Jimmy would say it in front of so many people, and she was shocked for a moment.

When Jean heard this, the spoon in her hand trembled and dropped in a gaffe.

Pissed, Ella's breath quickened, "Why... Why didn't you discuss such an important thing with us?"

"It's our own lives, not yours. Why do we need to discuss it with you?" Calmly, Jimmy continued to eat his dinner as if he didn't see the strange expressions of everyone at the table. "Hazel, please give me another bowl of soup."

The nanny stood at the side and was terrified for a moment.

With a frown, Jimmy looked over at her.

Then, the nanny came back to her senses and immediately said, "Oh, the soup, I'll get the soup..."

After the nanny took over the bowl that Jimmy handed over, she ran to the kitchen and filled it up. When she came to Ariah's side and was about to place it on the table, she didn't hold it firmly in her hand, which caused the boiling hot soup to tilt, and it almost fell on Ariah's body.

"Be careful!"

However, Kobi, who was sitting beside Ariah, reached out just in time to block the bowl, and half of the soup poured out and scalded the back of

his hand.

"Ah, Mr. Hudson!"

The nanny was so scared that her face turned pale. "Sorry, it was my fault for not holding it properly!" Anxiously, the nanny hurriedly apologized, "Is Mr. Hudson all right? And Miss Myers, are you all right?"

With a smile, Kobi shook his head. "I'm alright. It's just a little scalded. I'll go rinse it with cold water."

At that moment, the nanny was still in a state of shock.

Meanwhile, Jimmy's deep gaze swept past her. "Miss Myers?"

When the nanny caught sight of his dark eyes, she froze for a moment. Then, Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you address me as?" "M-Mr. Hudson..."

Immediately, Jimmy pointed at Ariah and asked, "So, do you think it's appropriate to address my wife as Miss Myers?"

Again, his words left the nanny tongue- tied. Luckily, she responded in time as she wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and quickly corrected herself. "Mrs. Hudson doesn't come home all year round, so we as servants don't have the chance to meet her often, and we don't even have the chance to serve her. We shall remember what Mr. Hudson reminded us today, and we will definitely change it in the future."

Then, Jimmy rested his arm on the chair and said, "Please get some medicine for Kobi. If it's serious, I'll take him to the hospital."

"Yes, sir."

After that, the nanny headed to the kitchen.

When Jimmy shifted his gaze toward the table, he saw everyone was staring at him silently, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you guys looking at me? Are you done with dinner?"

Just as Ella wanted to say something, Hudson's father coughed and said, "Well, let's all continue with our dinner! We're a family, and there's no need to make a fuss about it, or else we would be a laughing stock to other! Ariah, remember to eat more. There's no need to be shy."

The outsider Hudson's father mentioned was Jean, and it made her face so stiff.

Extremely flattered, Ariah responded, "Yes, Father."

However, Hudson's father was stunned because Jimmy and Kobi had often addressed him perfunctorily, and sometimes, they wouldn't even address him as their father.

Unlike Ariah, who addressed hime "father" in such a respectful manner.

At that moment, Hudson's father, who had never raised a daughter, was somewhat overwhelmed. Unconsciously, he softened his tone and said, "You and Jimmy don't have to travel home after dinner. It's raining outside, so you both should stay for the night and leave tomorrow morning."

Immediately, Ariah's eyes sparkled as she nodded.

In fact, she was over the moon because the Hudson Family had never taken the initiative to invite her to spend the night here.

That was the first time.
