Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 525

When Ariah heard his words, her entire body stiffened, and she was frightened by the lust in his eyes.

Just now... she was joking!

After Jimmy cast a sidelong glance at her, he sneered. "Oh, now you're scared?"

Immediately, Ariah nodded her head. Indeed, she was scared that he would act recklessly.

"You're a weakling!" As Jimmy looked at her reaction, he laughed, but the movements of his hand didn't stop. Meanwhile, Ariah was stiff and didn't dare to move. When Jimmy saw that she was terrified, he laughed in a low voice.

After Jimmy took two deep breaths, he let go of her.

"I'll let you go for now." Then, he fasted her seat belt and stared at her with a deep gaze. "I'll go back and deal with you tonight."

At that moment, Ariah's face was burning hot. When she thought of how aggressive he was back then, her hands trembled a little.

As Jimmy started the car and left, the atmosphere in the car was still very tense. However, Ariah felt as if her body was heating up, so she waved her hand to fan herself as she licked her red lips and asked a question to divert her attention, "You haven't finished talking about your past."

"Let's go for dinner first. I'll tell you later when we get back."

Obediently, Ariah nodded her head because she knew that he was driving, and it was best not to distract him.

Suddenly, Jimmy glanced at her flushed face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Hurriedly, Ariah shook her head, "I wasn't thinking..."

"You were having dirty thoughts." At once, Jimmy exposed her. "I haven't teased you for a long time. Don't you ever think about it?"

Those words left Ariah tongue-tied.

Annoyed, Ariah grabbed the tissue box in front of her and threw it at Jimmy. But he managed to catch it, and he smiled proudly, "It's normal for you to think about it since my stamina is so good. Too bad that others don't even have the chance to experience it because you're the only person I serve."

When they arrived at their destination, Ariah didn't expect Jimmy to take her back to the Hudson Family for dinner. If she had known that he was bringing her here, she wouldn't have come no matter what. As a matter of fact, she was afraid of everyone from the Hudson Family. Every time she visited them, she wouldn't dare to say a word because of how dignified Hudson's father was. Besides, Ella didn't like her, which made her afraid to make a single sound, and she would always pretend to be mute during her visit.

However, Jimmy seemed to know that she was uncomfortable in the Hudson Family, so he didn't take her back often, only once during the New Year Festival.

The thing was, it was not the New Year Festival yet. Why did he bring her back?

At that moment, Ariah remained seated in the passenger seat because she was unwilling to come down. As she tugged on the grab handle, she said pitifully, "Jimmy, let's go somewhere else to eat. How about hotpot? Don't you love it?"

"Cut the crap and come down." Calmly, Jimmy stood outside the car and waited for her.

Immediately, Ariah shook her head and said, "I'm scared..."

When Jimmy heard her answer, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you afraid of? There's no flood to drown you nor any beast at home to gobble you up."

No, they could. In fact, his parents were even more terrifying than beasts, and they could definitely gobble her up.

When Ariah saw that it was useless to act pitiful, she played the badger game, "Didn't you say that you want to deal with me? Let's go back now. I'll let you do whatever you want."

Surprised, Jimmy exclaimed as he felt the fire burning in his heart. At that moment, he really wanted to drive back. However, the cold wind outside directly put out the fire he had, so he lowered his body and leaned into the car. "It's useless to seduce me! We're already here. If we were to leave now, what do you think my parents will think of us?"

"But..."

"I know that you don't like my parents, that's why I had never asked you to come over often. If you were to go in and have a meal now, it will only take an hour at most. After we finish eating, we will go back. Come on, be good."

This time, Ariah didn't want to listen to him. Anything else was fine except this because she was afraid to go back to his house.

In fact, Ariah could still vividly remember the time when Ella visited her in the hospital. All this time, Ariah had always had a smart mouth, but when she was in front of her Ella, she was as obedient as a primary school student and dared not to refute a single word.

Then, Jimmy pleaded, "If you don't come down, I don't mind carrying you in by myself and let them see how lovey-dovey we are."

If that were to happen, Ella would probably be able to stab her to death with her sharp gaze.

Frightened, Ariah immediately got off the car and trailed behind him obediently.

When Jimmy took her hand and realized that her entire hand was cold, he couldn't help but laugh and teased her, "Are you that scared? It seems that I should bring you back more often to tame your temperament."

Immediately, Ariah punched him and scolded him. At that moment, her eyes were glowing as she looked at him, and it felt amorous. With a smile, Jimmy hugged her waist and enjoyed her rare gentleness. The two of them were having a small fight when the door opened. It was a servant from the Hudson Family. When she saw Jimmy, she immediately smiled and said, "You're back. Come in quick." Calmly, Jimmy brought Ariah in. Meanwhile, when Ariah saw that she was about to enter his house, she immediately shook off his hands and behaved herself.

With a smile, Jimmy asked, "Where's my mother?" "She's inside. She had been asking about when were you going to arrive?"

"Well, I'm here now."

After Jimmy took off his coat and placed it on the cabinet, he helped Ariah take off her coat, too. It was warm at home, so she didn't have to wear an extra layer.

The servant watched from the side as she thought to herself that Jimmy was the type of person who didn't even help with chores at home, but now, he was personally serving someone else.

When they arrived in the living room together, they saw Ella sitting on the sofa and as she talked to the people next to her with a smile.

The moment Jimmy saw the woman seated next to his mother, his face darkened.

"Is Jimmy back?" When Ella heard a voice coming from the entrance far away, she asked. However, when she turned her head and saw the woman beside her son, the smile on her face froze for a moment. Obediently, Ariah stood there and called out to Ella, "Mom."

The smile on Ella's face immediately vanished, and she let out a chuckle. "Jimmy didn't tell me that you would be coming along too."

Just as Ariah was still feeling awkward, Jimmy placed his arms around her waist and pulled her inside. "Our family is having a reunion dinner in advance. Since I'm coming, of course, I'll bring Ariah along." It seemed that Jimmy wanted to protect Ariah, so Ella frowned and said, "You should've told me in advance so that I could be prepared for it."

"What preparation do you need? Why would you need to prepare yourself just because your daughter-in-law comes home for dinner?" With a faint smile, Jimmy looked at his mother. "Well, why didn't you tell me that an outsider would be coming over for dinner? You should've told us about it so that we could prepare ourselves."

"Jean is not an outsider. Uncle James has such a good relationship with our family, and they are as close as a family."

"But that doesn't mean we are a family." Placidly, Jimmy responded.

Behind Ella was Jean, who looked embarrassed that her face was as red as a tomato. However, she kept stealing glances at Ariah from head to toe and secretly compared Ariah to herself.

Indeed, Jean was younger and prettier than Ariah, and she was better than her in all aspects.

On the other hand, Ariah lowered her head and did not say a single word, as she acted as if she did not hear Ella's words.

The weaker Ariah behaved, the more protective Jimmy would be, and the angrier Ella became. "Even if we are not a family now, we will soon be a family. Jimmy, you should be mentally prepared forthat to happen."

Calmly, Jimmy answered, "Oh mother, why don't I understand what you've just said?"

Angrily, Ella glared at him. "You're the only one who knows to act like a fool. Why ask a question that you've already known the answer to?"

With a chuckle, Jimmy replied, "Are you planning to find a wife for me? Nowadays, we men don't own two wives anymore. Besides, it's already a lot for me to handle with just one wife. How would I have the strength to deal with another woman? Don't say such misleading words that will lead this young lady to have the wrong thoughts."

Meanwhile, Ariah was slightly surprised. Although she knew that Ella didn't like her, she didn't expect Ella to dislike her so much.

Did she start to find another wife for Jimmy as soon as she knew that she had divorced Jimmy?

Did she have to act so fast?
