Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 465

It was Lindsey, Ariah's half-sister, who pushed open the door. Ariah was two years older than Lindsey, whose mother passed away when she was young. It was also for this reason that she was practically doted upon by her father and grandfather.

Standing at the entrance with a face full of disgust, Lindsey said, "How could you be so shameless? This is the Myers Family!"

As Ariah rolled her eyes, Jimmy looked at her with a faint smile while maintaining their position a moment ago. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "Don't you like this woman?"

Without answering him, Ariah pushed him away and calmly tidied up her clothes, after which she pretended that she had just noticed Lindsey. "Oh, you're back."

Her bad acting skills amused Jimmy, for her disgust was not concealed well while pretending to be a friendly person.

In response, Lindsey glanced at her and said, "I was wondering who was so shameless that she could do such things on the sofa in broad daylight. It turned out to be you. Well, I'm not surprised at all since your mom is that kind of person too."

Upon hearing that, Jimmy opened his eyes big in disbelief. Wasn't Lindsey afraid that Ariah would blow a fuse? Wasn't she afraid of being beaten up?

However, what made him even more surprised and surprised was that Ariah did not get angry at all. With a smile, she said, "That's right, what we adults do is too disgusting. Lindsey, you're still a child, so you shouldn't learn from me. Instead, you should always be a child. Don't get married or look for men. It's better to stay innocent as how you have always been."

Jimmy coughed when he heard the sarcastic words.

Apparently, she had been suppressing her anger in order to verbally attack the woman.

Lindsey was rendered speechless by her incisive words. While staring at Ariah, she blushed crimson and uttered angrily, "Y- You're really shameless!"

Ariah shrugged her shoulders and didn't bother to reply to Lindsey, who was too weak to confront her.

At this moment, the door was opened again, and a man's deep voice sounded, "What are you arguing about? It's so noisy!"

As soon as Lindsey heard this voice, she immediately threw herself into the middle-aged man's arms. "Dad!"

The man called Felix patted his little daughter's shoulder dotingly. "Well, your sister seldom comes back home. Can't you hold your temper? Don quarrel with her, or else your brother-in-law will laugh at you." Although he was scolding Lindsey, it was obvious that he was blaming Ariah for being insensible.

Without saying anything, Ariah only looked at the scene and smirked coldly.

Those words made Lindsey hold her anger, so she snorted and glared at Ariah before going upstairs.

When Dakota heard the cacophony, she ran out of the kitchen. Seeing that Lindsey was leaving in anger, she was stunned and did not know what to do. "W-What's wrong with Lindsey?"

Glaring at her, Felix uttered, "You go up and console Lindsey. She quarreled with Ariah, but fortunately Ariah didn't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Dakota directly pointed at Ariah. "Lindsey is younger than you, so why can't you be more tolerant?"

After that, she went upstairs in a hurry without even taking off her apron.

Pursing her lips tightly, Ariah appeared glacial while shuddering. It was after taking a few deep breaths that she managed to control her emotions.

As Jimmy held her shoulder, he asked in a deep voice, "Ariah, are you alright?"

Upon saying that she was fine, she pushed him away and went to the balcony, where the cold gust of wind gradually calmed her down.

She had been holding his temper for so many years, so why did she get angry just now? Wasn't it better to hold her temper for a little longer?

However, she could not let her mother live here without dignity.

Confused, Ariah looked at the depressing scenery in the distance as her lips became pale...

Narrowing his eyes, Jimmy looked at the lonely woman standing on the balcony. A sense of uneasiness welled up in his chest as he recalled her helpless expression while trying to suppress her rage. When he heard Felix call him, he looked lazily at the so-called father-in-law and said faintly, "Sorry, I was thinking about something else. What were you saying just now?"

Embarrassed, Felix responded, "How's your father? It's been a long time since we last met each other. I wonder how Minister Hudson is doing now."

With a grin, Jimmy replied, "Thanks for your concern. My father is in good health, and I'll convey your wishes to him. Not long ago, he got promoted again, so he may be a little busy at work and can't meet his old friends so often."

Felix and Jimmy's father were old comrades- inarms. Over the past few decades, the Hudson Family had been doing quite well, but the Myers Family seemed to be troubled by some problems. The difference in status between the two men thus became bigger day by day, and their relationship was also not as good as before...

After thinking for a moment, Felix uttered, "Lindsey said that there are some rumors about you and Ariah..."

"Just ignore it."

Before Felix finished his words, Jimmy interrupted him directly. "Don't believe those rumors just because we seldom come back. Ariah and I are very busy with our work." Hearing what he said, Felix could only nod his head with embarrassment. "If you have time, please come back often for dinner."

"Of course."

Jimmy's words were watertight, which betrayed no emotions at all. Therefore, Felix had nothing to comment on and directly went upstairs with his briefcase.

After standing outside for a long while, Ariah's teeth started chattering, which prompted her to go back to the house and stop torturing herself.

"Bang!"

As soon as she turned around, she fell into a man's warm embrace, which emitted a familiar scent. In order to prevent herself from falling, Ariah subconsciously reached out to grab him. However, she gripped his waist so tightly that he took a breath of cold air in pain.

The man turned out to be Jimmy, who held her firmly and dragged her directly into the warm living room. Then he pushed her body away and grinned. "Did you want to pluck out my flesh?" At that moment, Ariah felt a little awkward and muttered, "If you hadn't appeared behind me like a ghost, would I..."

"What is it?" The man squinted his eyes suggestively and raised his voice.

Immediately, she shut her mouth.

That pleased Jimmy who sized her up and said, "Ariah, I just knew that you're indeed a pitiful girl. Both your dad and mom didn't really care about you."
