Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 563

Jimmy just said impatiently, "Unlike abroad, it's quite safe here, so don't worry about that."

Emily was speechless.

"Emily, just ignore him and come in the car."

Ariah's voice suddenly sounded. Emily turned around and saw that she had already gotten into the car.

It seemed that Emily couldn't be a peacemaker this time.

Rubbing her nose, she was about to get into the car as well.

Just then, Jimmy glared at Ariah and called out suddenly, "Get down!"

But Ariah just ignored him and said directly to Kobi, "Let's go."

Jimmy smiled. It was the kind that emanated coldness.

Just as Kobi was about to start the car, abruptly, the door was pulled open and he was dragged out. The key was pulled out by Jimmy, too. Then, Jimmy looked coldly at Ariah and said, "I'm saying this for the last time. Get down." "Jimmy, what the hell are you doing?" Ariah was really angry now, and she scowled at Jimmy in exasperation.

Only then did Jimmy's mood lighten up.

Tsk, finally, she showed some emotions!

He thought that she wasn't bothered to talk to him!

In the meantime, Ariah glared at him and demanded, "Give back the key!"

But before Jimmy could reply, Kobi grabbed him by the collar and struck at him. "Jimmy, enough!"

"No!"

Ariah screamed.

Actually, Jimmy could easily dodge that and even strike back, but when he saw Ariah's reaction, his lips curled into a smile and he took the blow.

The sound of the blow was particularly heartrending, and no one expected it to happen suddenly.

Even Kobi didn't expect that Jimmy would take the blow.

He thought Jimmy would definitely get back at him.

And with Jimmy's agility, he could at least dodge the blow.

But no, he took the strike.

Kobi quickly withdrew his fist and frowned. When he saw the smile on Jimmy, his heart sank a little.

Jimmy took the blow on purpose.

He deliberately didn't dodge it.

And the purpose of that was to make Ariah feel sorry for him and even hate Kobi!

"Why did you hit him?" Indeed, in the next second, Ariah's angry voice rang out.

Leaning against the car, Jimmy smiled slightly. He was gratified to see her speaking out for him.

Kobi pinched the bridge of his nose. "I didn't expect him to just stand there."

"Oh, does that justify you beating him?"

"Sorry, I couldn't control it. He shouldn't have treated you like that though." Kobi laughed bitterly.

Ariah was stunned. Was Kobi doing that for her?

Meanwhile, Jimmy flicked his clothes and said sarcastically, "Oh, so you're doing that for her? Have you thought about how Emily would feel?"

Hearing that, Emily, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, stared at them blankly.

Ariah looked at the dazed Emily and got distressed. Initially, the atmosphere was still alright, but now it had gotten weird because of what Jimmy said! "For God's sake!" Ariah was so angry that she stopped a cab and left the scene.

On the other hand, Kobi was about to get in his car, but Jimmy blocked his way. "Kobi, wait."

Kobi glanced at him.

"I see you as my brother, so please don't do anything that will disappoint me."

Kobi smiled. "What thing?"

"I don't care how close you and Ariah were in the past. She is my wife now. If you still have any other thoughts about her, you'd better put them away." With a solemn look, Jimmy then added, "If not, I'm afraid we can't be brothers anymore."

Saying that, he spun around and left.

Kobi looked at his back for a long time. Then, with a sneer, he got in the car.

On the way back, Emily was acting differently from her usual self. She was very quiet.

"What's wrong?" Kobi asked when they were about to arrive home.

Emily was not someone who could hide her thoughts. Now that he had asked her, she instantly questioned him, "Kobi, honestly, do you still like Ariah?"

Kobi looked steadily to the front as he drove.

"Don't be silly. You're the one I'm going to marry."

"But... why do I feel like you've changed after you returned to Estar?"

"Oh, how?"

"You seem to have become a completely different person." Then, thinking about what he had done to her in the hotel the other day, she muttered, "I even get the feeling that you're hiding things from me. You didn't even tell me about sending Ariah home and you knew where she lived."

"Ah, I see." Kobi pulled over the car by the road and looked at her with a faint smile. "Are you getting jealous of Ariah?"

Biting her lips, Emily shook her head. "I like Ariah very much. I shouldn't be jealous of her, but still, I feel uncomfortable..." Before she could finish her words, Kobi's scent had enveloped her, and he kissed her on the lips domineeringly.

Emily was stunned for a moment before she wrapped her arms around his neck subconsciously.

Kobi was very different from his gentle self, and soon, Emily was panting heavily. Her sight got blurred and her cheeks flushed.

"What about now? Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Kobi nibbled her earlobe lightly.

"Babe, only you get to be treated this way. Ariah don't."

Gradually, Emily's body softened in his arms and her anger and jealousy were gone.

Kobi only needed to say a few good words and she would believe in him again. She thought that she was too easily coaxed.

Well, what could she do? She loved him.

When Ariah returned home, she realized that the cold seemed to be getting more serious.

She took a cold tablet and fell asleep immediately. While she was half-asleep, she seemed to hear someone knocking at the door, but she couldn't be bothered to get up.

Later on, the sound of knocking became so loud that it started to bother her.

She was very annoyed.

So she shouted, "Stop knocking! Get the hell out of here!"

Then, she pulled the quilt over her head and went back to sleep.

The next morning when Ariah woke up, the room was dark and her throat hurt. Touching her forehead, she could feel that it was burning hot. With some struggle, she got up and called her assistant, telling her that she was not feeling well and needed to take sick leave.

The assistant heard her hoarse voice and was concerned, to which Ariah reassured that she would be fine upon taking a rest and some pills.

Hanging up the call, Ariah took the medicine that she kept next to the bed and went back to sleep.

After getting some sleep, she got woken up by a call and got up from the bed. Now, she felt much better.

However, the call was quickly hung up.

Seeing that, Ariah went to get some clothes and took a hot shower since she was sweating all over. Only then did she feel much lighter.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, the phone rang again. She picked it up and saw that it was from Jimmy's colleague, David.
