Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) -
Chapter 502
Of course, Jimmy's mother knew her son's character well, and she also knew that he would turn against her family. Now that her husband reminded her, she could not help but regret her decision. But at the same time, she did not want to admit that she was wrong, so she snorted and said, "Do you think he dares to turn against me? I am doing this for his own good. If he knows how to appreciate what I did for him, he should listen to what I say."
"You are so stubborn." Helpless, Jimmy's father sighed, "I actually think Ariah is quite good. She has her own thoughts and personality!"
However, Jimmy's mother rolled her eyes and said, "What's so good about that? All she knows is to talk back at me. Every time she saw me, her face would always be as black as coal. Unlike Jean, she is a sweet talker, and she knows how to coax me... Also, you better stop complimenting her, or I will turn against you!"
With a sigh, Jimmy's father said, "I'm just saying... Fine, I'll get to the bottom of it and see what happened between them."
"What is there to find out about? There's no need for that." Then, Jimmy's mother got up and went to bed. "It's been years since she married Jimmy, but there was no sign of pregnancy at all. I don't think she is capable of pregnancy, and I had always been upset about it. Besides, Jimmy has been so protective of her, and I couldn't find the right time to say it. It's a good thing that they're now divorced because we can have Jimmy find another one so that we can have a grandson next year."
With a frown, Jimmy's father said, "If we were to do so, how are we supposed to explain to the Myers Family..."
"Pft, why is there a need to explain to their family? Now that you've brought their family up, I'm so pissed. Wasn't Felix scheming to marry his daughter to our son because of your friendship with him back then? Clearly, he knew his daughter was unworthy of our son, either. If it wasn't for Jimmy's insistence on marrying Ariah back then, I would have strongly opposed their marriage. The worse thing is, after so many years of marriage, she is still yet to bear any child. They should've gotten a divorce long ago!"
Meanwhile, Jimmy's father had a headache from all the nagging, so he said, "Fine, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late. Let's go to bed now."
After Jimmy's mother gave a thought about it, she nodded and went to sleep.
That night, when Ariah was about to sleep, the sky outside the window began to rain, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
Even though Ariah was never one to be afraid of thunder, she was still scared of the thunder that night because it was exceptionally deafening.
Besides, she was the only one in the ward, and the lights were dim. Although Ariah forced herself to sleep, when she closed her eyes, for some reason, she could see the psychotic face of Kevin and that man who was wearing a clown-like mask in the basement that night...
All the hairs on Ariah's body stood on end. It was as if she could hear the sound of footsteps that were slowly approaching her from afar.
At first, she thought that there was something wrong with her hearing. However, a moment later, she really heard the sound of the door being opened.
Those who had been traumatized would tend to be more sensitive, not to mention someone like Ariah. Cold sweat broke out on her back as she stared at the door with wide eyes.
Then, the door was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared outside the door.
On a rainy night like this, in a dimly lit ward, and a person who suddenly appeared... no matter how she looked at it, it still felt like a horror film.
With a click, the lights in the ward turned on. At that moment, Jimmy saw a pale-faced woman curled up on the bed. Stunned, he asked, "Are you afraid?"
Immediately, Ariah's body stiffened, and her eyes widened as she stared at the person who appeared at the door.
Jimmy?
Didn't he flounce out of the ward during the day?
Why was he here again?
Meanwhile, Ariah curled up at the corner of the bed. For a moment, she was a little confused, and she stared at the man who entered in shock.
At that moment, Ariah was in thin clothes, and her messy hair covered half of her pale face. Her watery eyes, which seemed as if they were covered with water vapor, made her look particularly pitiful.
At a scene like this, Jimmy's heart ached for her. Then, he closed the door and walked over. "I always say that you are as strong as a rock, but I didn't expect that you would be afraid of thunder?" Only then did Ariah come to her senses, as she took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
"It's just thunder." As Jimmy sat down beside her, he looked at the frightened expression in her gaze due to the changing weather and felt that Ariah was extremely adorable at that very moment. Subconsciously, his voice softened, "It's not dangerous. Don't be afraid."
While he coaxed her, he reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear.
However, Ariah slapped his hand away with a smacking sound, and the romantic moment disappeared in an instant.
With a blank look, she answered, "Even you said that it was just thunder. What is there for me to be afraid of? Am I a woman who would be afraid of thunder?"
That answer left Jimmy at a loss for words.
This d*mned woman is really heartless! The sudden pity that he felt for her when he saw her in vain was nothing but a joke.
With a snort, Jimmy narrowed his eyes at her, "If you weren't afraid, why did you look as if you were about to cry when I came in?"
In fact, her expression earlier was too heartwrenching.
Then, Ariah bit her lips and lowered her head, "I really wasn't scared of the thunder. I just thought that it was Kevin's men who came..."
Taken aback by her words, Jimmy froze for a moment.
Now that he came to think of it, she was indeed a woman. No matter how intelligent and clever she was, she would still be afraid when something like this happened.
Even Anna was so traumatized that she still didn't want to meet anyone now. All she did was lock herself in the ward, and she didn't allow anyone to approach her.
As for Ariah, not only did she face the same terrifying things as Anna, she also had the most interaction with Kevin. However, ever since she returned, her emotions had always been stable.
Therefore, Jimmy thought that she was fine, and he thought that she was extremely strong-willed and wasn't afraid at all.
However, it was not like what he saw. In fact, she was also traumatized, sensitive, and tensed. She also needed someone to accompany her when she was alone.
Silently, Jimmy stood up, and Ariah asked, "Uh, what are you doing?"
Without a word, Jimmy checked all the windows, then closed and locked the door. Then, he went back to the bedside and said nonchalantly, "Kevin was arrested by the police, so he can't hurt you anymore. I've locked the door and the windows so that the thunder won't strike in, and the same goes for the bad guys. You will be fine, so don't be afraid. I will be here to accompany you."
Suddenly, Ariah's beautiful eyes contracted.
All these years, Jimmy had never done anything that touched her heart. But now... she was so touched that she wanted to cry.
As Ariah looked at Jimmy's deep gaze, the fear and insecurity in her heart disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, she felt incomparably at ease.
Then, she sniffled and mumbled stubbornly, "Who is afraid? I've told you that I'm not afraid..."
With a warm smile, Jimmy said, "Sure, you're not afraid at all. Can you go to bed now?"
Then, Ariah lay down obediently to have a good rest.
A moment later, Jimmy walked over and said, "Scoot over."
"What are you trying to do?"
"Cut the crap. Of course, I'm going to sleep." After Jimmy answered her, he lifted the blanket and went up to the bed.
Blankly, Ariah stared at Jimmy, who was trying to squeeze into the bed with her, and she was speechless.
Now that there was another person in the ward, it wasn't so cold anymore, and even the thunder outside the window was not as scary as before.
When Ariah closed her eyes and couldn't fall asleep, she asked, "Didn't you leave earlier? Why are you here again?"
Meanwhile, Jimmy couldn't fall asleep either, so he shrugged his shoulders and answered, "I came to visit Anna, so I figured that I should pay you a visit too."
However, it was a lie because after he went home alone, he didn't want to stay in the cold and empty bedroom for even a minute, so he headed straight to the hospital.
As for Anna's side, ever since she was sent to the hospital, he had not even visited her once.
