Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 469

Ariah was stunned for a moment, for she did not expect Jimmy to be here. How long had he been standing here?

As she cleared her throat, she slowly walked toward him. "W-Why are you smoking outside the study?"

After staring at her for a moment, he put the cigarette down and said lightly, "Has the conversation ended?"

"Er..."

"Let's go if there's nothing else."

"OK."

Ariah took a deep breath and followed Jimmy downstairs. She wondered why his emotions were quite different now. Could it be that he had overheard her conversation with Felix in the study? Why was there to be angry about it even if he had overheard it?

Since she was thinking about this, she was a little absent-minded while walking. It was not until she went downstairs that she heard Lindsey's sobs.

Ariah was shocked. Why was Lindsey crying?

Wasn't she always pampered by Felix? Ariah had never seen her crying, but why was she crying today?

Out of curiosity, Ariah wanted to show Lindsey her concern. However, before she could do so, she had been dragged out of the house by Jimmy. "Ouch!" Ariah stumbled because of his pull. "Mom, we'll be leaving now. I'll visit you again when we're free!"

When Dakota heard that, she ran out and reminded them, "Drive carefully. It's getting dark now."

"Got it!"

Lindsey was still sobbing in the living room, so Dakota immediately went back and asked her why she was crying. Nevertheless, she just kept crying with her hands holding her neck. Dakota had never seen this scene before, so she did not what to do at the moment.

On the way back, Jimmy was also silent. After driving for a while, Ariah couldn't help but ask, "Since you were downstairs just now, you should know why Lindsey was crying, right?" There was no response from Jimmy.

That piqued Ariah's curiosity.

Did he get angry again? How could he ignore her

like this?

Following a cough, she asked, "Are you okay?"

After glancing at her for a brief moment from the corners of his eyes, he quickly looked away.

He must have been irked by something.

Was it because he had overheard the conversation between her and her father outside the stud? Had his self-esteem been hurt?

As she curled her lips, she sighed and said, "Alright, I admit that I married you because I wanted to curry favor with the Hudsons. At that time, Felix wanted me to marry you and serve you well so that I could be close to your family. I did that so that my mother could lead an easier life in our family..."

"Shut up!"

Jimmy suddenly interrupted her before she could finish her words. He suddenly turned the steering wheel and stopped the car at the side of the road. Then, he pressed his body against her in the passenger seat. Looking at her with a pair of dark eyes, he said, "Who asked you to explain yourself?!11

Ariah was dumbfounded. "A-Aren't you angry after overhearing our conversation?"

Following a sneer, he said, "Of course I know Felix's schemes. The Myers Family is getting worse day by day. He wanted to marry his daughter to our family so that my father could support him from time to time in the officialdom. It is obvious that he wants to take advantage of their old friendship..."

Ariah was startled. It turned out that the Hudson Family had long known about her father's plan. It was just that they ignored the plot against them.

The Myers Family had been overestimating themselves, so there must be some reason for its decline.

"I- If you're not angry over this, then what's the reason?" Ariah was trapped in his embrace and couldn't move. As the temperature of his body was burning her through her clothes, she was frightened by his fierce gaze.

Lifting up her chin, he whispered, "Lindsey said that you cheated on me after our marriage. How could I not be angry after hearing that?"

The words shocked Ariah. Was that why Lindsey was crying in the living room?

"W-What did you do to her?"

Lindsey was a delicate girl with a temper. If she was bullied, everyone in the Myers Family would know it, but why did she endure her grievances this time around?

"Do you care about her?" Jimmy scoffed. "Didn't you notice that your sister is interested in me?"

Ariah was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. "That's impossible. Back then, the Myers Family had intended to marry Lindsey off to you, but she didn't agree. If she liked you, why didn't she marry you back then..."

"Have you ever cheated on me?"

Jimmy didn't bother to listen to her nonsense, and he directly interrupted her with his question.

Lindsey's words had been engraved n his mind. Allegedly, Ariah already had a man she loved a long time ago. If it wasn't for her mother, the person she wanted to marry was definitely that other man... Lindsey also said that Ariah was still in touch with the man she loved all these years, and something must have happened between the two of them...

Jimmy was tortured by his doubts, especially when he believed that Ariah had been pursued by Ricco. If she still loved that other man, did that mean she had had sex with him... Jimmy's thoughts ran wild at the moment.

It was no wonder that she had remained so calm after learning about the affair between him and Anna. She had never cared about him in her heart...

That explained why she didn't care about what he was doing behind her.

Staring at her for a moment, he said, "Ariah, how many more things do you have to hide from me?"

How many secrets did she have?

"I swear that I have nothing to do with Ricco..."

"I didn't ask you about Ricco!"

"Then who are you talking about?"

There was a time when she was drunk and unconsciously lay on the same bed with Ricco, which was then unfortunately discovered by Jimmy.

Just then, Jimmy's hand moved to her chest. Flustered, Ariah slapped his hand away; she would never give him any chance to do those things in the car!

"Who exactly is the man that you love?" Jimmy asked while pointing at her chest.

"W-What did you say?"

"Lindsey told me that you had a sweetheart before you married me. Who was that? Did I destroy your original plan?"

Stunned, she muttered to herself, "How did Lindsey know that..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jimmy's expression suddenly turned cold. When Ariah came back to her senses, she hurriedly explained, "That's all in the past. I've long forgotten about these things. Do you believe Lindsey's words? Why are you so silly?"

How could he be so silly as to believe what Lindsey said?

After Ariah finished speaking, Jimmy was stunned for a few seconds and pushed her away forcefully, after which he sat up straight so that he could start the car.

He put on a stern expression as his lips were pursed tightly. Veins could be seen bulging from the back of his hands that were holding the steering wheel.

It seemed that he was trying to suppress some sort of emotion.

Tilting her head, she looked at him in a daze. What was wrong with this guy? Why was he so angry?

Didn't he act like he was trying to catch her red-handed? Why did he look like he was trying to suppress his feelings now?

When he returned home, he remained silent and directly strode into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out a few minutes later, Ariah still didn't know what was wrong with him. His dark face suggested that he did not wish anyone to approach him, so she didn't dare to provoke him... After taking her pajamas, she went into the

bathroom.

Her hair was wet after taking a shower. Suddenly, her body was pulled over by Jimmy. Before she could react to what had happened, he had started to kiss her like a maniac.

"Umm..."
