Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 536

After Ariah finished speaking, Kobi remained silent for a long time while gazing at her.

"Kobi?" Ariah waved her hand in front of him.

Kobi came back to his senses. "Yeah?"

"So, will you agree?"

"Well, I wouldn't have acted like I didn't know you last night if I had wanted to say it."

Hearing what he said, Ariah heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, if Kobi wanted to get acquainted with her, he would have done so in front of the Hudsons.

But he didn't.

Anyway, Ella didn't like her already. If she found out that Ariah was acquainted with both Jimmy and Kobi and even used to date Kobi, Ella would probably never accept her as their daughter- inlaw. Nevertheless, getting Kobi's answer, Ariah was finally at ease.

"Are you worried that I'd say I know you in front of my family?" Kobi could not help but laugh when he saw her expression.

Ariah stuck out her tongue. "Oh well."

Staring at her, Kobi then asked, "Anyway, how are you gonna tell Jimmy about this?"

"Well, I'll wait and see."

"He's been irascible since he was a kid. So, it's very likely he'll get mad when he learns about this."

Kobi was stating the fact plainly.

Sighing, Ariah was worried about this too, which was why she didn't mention it to Jimmy when they left the Hudsons' Mansion.

She knew Jimmy too well. He would definitely get mad if she told him about her past with Kobi.

"Well, why don't we do it this way." Seeing that she was in a dilemma, Kobi suggested, "Let's not tell him about this first. When the right time comes, the four of us-me, Emily, you, and Jimmy-gather together and talk it through."

Ariah hesitated. "Um... are you sure?"

"Well, since Emily and I are getting married soon, I'm thinking that with Emily around, he would probably be more forgiving."

Ariah agreed with what he said.

"Alright, let's talk about this later." She then changed the subject. "Anyway, how long are you gonna stay in Beachmarsh City this time?"

"I'm not sure yet."

"Are you gonna stay for the New Year?" "Probably."

With a smile, Ariah persuaded, "It's been years since you last came back. Why don't you stay for the New Year this time?"

His parents must have wanted him to stay here longer, too.

"Do you want me to stay for a while?"

Without thinking much, Ariah nodded. "Yeah."

"Then I'll stay a little longer."

Ariah was stunned for a moment. Knowing that he must have misunderstood, she quickly waved her hand and clarified, "Ah, no. What I mean is that your parents must have missed you and wanted you to stay a little longer too..."

However, Kobi just sat there looking at her explaining anxiously and his smile grew wider. Ariah was a little embarrassed by his gaze. "What... what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Kobi chuckled. "Haha, you actually get panicked easily like before, despite your smart look. Don't worry. I know what you mean. After not seeing you for this long, I'm hoping that there's more time for us to catch up this time."

"Ah, I'm a little worried that there won't be much common to talk about now that you're a Ph.D.."

"Well, if you had chosen to stay abroad back then, you would have earned your Ph.D. too."

Ariah merely smiled and said nothing. Later, she thought of something and asked, "Are you still working in that research institute?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"If I remember correctly, you majored in psychology, right? Are you still working in this field?"

"Yeah."

Instantly, Ariah's eyes lit up. "That's great!"

Kobi was the last student that the old professor who specialized in hypnotism took in and the old professor had taught him everything.

Seeing the excitement on her, Kobi was a little amused. "Why do you ask?"

"Well..."

Upon considering for a moment, Ariah decided to tell him about Anna's situation - that Anna had been having nightmares ever since she was kidnapped and was in dire need of treatments. However, there were few therapists in the country who were specialized in this area. Also, Anna's condition was much serious.

"So, if you stay for a long time this time, could you maybe take a look at her?"

"Is she your patient?"

"Nah, she's just someone I know. She came to me for help recently."

Kobi then laughed, stating, "Well, with your experience, why don't you try helping her yourself?"

Back then when they studied abroad, Ariah was actually the professor's favorite and she had also learned quite a bit of his skills.

Ariah was choked at his words for a second before she said hesitatingly, "Um, but I haven't practice hypnotism for so many years. I'm not quite sure if I could treat her."

Besides, she really didn't like Anna and didn't want to have any contact with her.

"Alright. Why don't you find a time to bring her here and let me have a look?"

Ariah thanked him. The two of them then continued chatting for a while before it was getting late and Ariah was leaving.

Kobi took her to the parking lot.

Suddenly, he stopped and called out, "Ariah."

"Yes?" Ariah looked over.

"Um, it seems that my contact lenses have shifted out of place." Kobi smiled wryly.

Surprised, Ariah quickly went over to help him over to a chair. "Come, let's sit down."

But she didn't know what to do next. "Do you wanna try fixing it yourself first? If you can't do it, then we'll go to a hospital."

Kobi tried fixing it for a while, but then sighed. "Argh, I can't find it. Can you help?"

Ariah had no choice but to lean over to take a closer look at his lens. The two didn't realize that they were getting a bit too intimate. At the same time, not far away, a fashionable young lady spotted them and gaped in surprise.

Was that...

"Jean, why are you pausing there?" A female companion beside Jean asked in a puzzle.

Meanwhile, recognizing that it was Ariah, Jean was so excited that her hands were shaking as she quickly snapped a picture of the two who almost hugged.

Ella was right. Ariah was a woman with no moral compass. Not only did she seduce Jimmy, but she was also having an affair with another man.

Shameless!

How could she be with another man this shamelessly in public? She wasn't worthy of Jimmy!

However, Jean couldn't see what the other man looked like because her sight was blocked by Ariah.
