Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 535

When Jimmy saw that Ariah had been silent the entire time, he did not know what she was thinking about, but he could not be bothered to guess, so he drove the car all the way back to the apartment.

It was until they arrived back at her apartment that Ariah realized what was going on. "Why are we here?"

"Otherwise where do you want to go?"

"The hospital? I need to go to work today..."

"Why the hell are you going to work for?" With a frown, Jimmy yelled, "Go home and rest!"

However, Ariah explained, "I just sprained my ankle. It was quite serious yesterday, but it's much better today."

"Are you not going to listen to me?" Instantly, Jimmy's eyes turned cold.

Helplessly, Ariah sighed, "Alright. I'll call my colleague and get a medical leave later."

"Good girl." After that, Jimmy pinched her face and then leaned over to unfasten her seat belt. "I'll take you upstairs." "No, I can walk by myself. You don't..."

"Cut the cr*p!"

That reaction of Jimmy left Ariah speechless.

Left with no choice, Ariah was carried into the elevator by Jimmy. Since only the two of them in the elevator, Jimmy pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

In a low voice, Ariah snorted and didn't say anything.

"I'm glad that you're no longer angry." Happily, Jimmy grinned. "Otherwise, I won't feel at ease when I go to work."

When the two of them left the elevator, Jimmy started to caress her again. Startled, Ariah was afraid that her neighbors would see what he was doing. Hurriedly, she stopped him and said, "Don't stay here! Come back tonight. Jimmy, stop!"

Suddenly, Jimmy stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. Stunned, he asked, "I'm allowed to come back tonight?"

Flushed, Ariah answered, "Shut up..."

However, Jimmy laughed. "Ariah, I was trying to look for your key, and I had no intention of taking advantage of you. What are you thinking?"

Embarrassed, Ariah remained silent.

At that moment, Ariah's expression was as if she was struck by lightning.

Slowly, Jimmy lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You shall wait for me to come back and serve you tonight."

Immediately, Ariah's face turned as red as a tomato and slapped him, "Get lost!"

Happily, Jimmy laughed as he left.

When Ariah found the key from her bag and opened the door, she thought to herself, who would put the key in their pocket and not in their bag? It was obvious that hooligan wanted to take advantage of her! After Ariah entered her unit, she first called her colleague to inform her reason for her absence from work. After that, she tidied up her room. When she was bored in the afternoon, she decided to watch television, but gradually fell asleep.

Since she didn't sleep well last night, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until the phone on the coffee table rang that Ariah was awakened. In a daze, she took the phone and answered the call. However, the man on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, "Were you sleeping?"

At that moment, Ariah's drowsiness vanished when she heard the voice.

Immediately, she sat up from the sofa and took a look at the caller ID on the phone. It was... that unknown number.

It was the number that had called her when she was in Jimmy's car.

It was Kobi.

At that time, she was with a guilty conscience, and she was afraid that Jimmy would notice something fishy, so she did not pick up the call. However, she did not expect that Jimmy was more sensitive and sharper than she thought. In fact, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong with her when she looked at the phone without answering it. "Why did you call me?"

"I called you in the morning, but you didn't pick up the call. I thought it must have been inconvenient for you to answer the call, so I called you now." After Kobi's explanation, Ariah asked, "Are you free now?"

Taken aback, Kobi answered. "Huh?"

"If you're free now, let's meet up." After Ariah thought for a moment, she added, "Since it was inconvenient to have a chat with you at your place yesterday, so I didn't have a proper talk with you. Now that you happened to be free, so if you have the time, can you come out and meet me?" "Of course." In fact, Kobi's voice sounded very happy. "Initially, I did think that I should find a time to make an appointment and meet up with you. But I just came back, and there must be a lot of things to be done, so I didn't ask you out for the time being..."

"In that case, we shall talk about it when we meet." Before Ariah hung up the phone, she said, "I'm leaving my place right now. I'll send the location to you when I get there so you can follow the navigation application and get there."

Naturally, Kobi agreed.

Then, Ariah hung up the phone. There was something that she had to talk to him about.

Meanwhile, Kobi sat on the bed with his phone in hand and smiled. As a matter of fact, he was surprised that Ariah would take the initiative to invite him out.

Back then, Ariah was very infatuated with him, and she could never hide her feelings for him. After so many years, Kobi still remembered that day when she hugged him tightly and said, "I have loved no one in my life, and I had always loved you. If you don't agree to be with me, I will continue to pursue you."

Even though it had been many years since that incident happened, and they had never been together, he could still tell that Ariah was still interested in him.

Last night, after she saw him in the Hudson Family, she had been absent-minded, and her eyes were even glued to him as she sized him up from time to time.

When she met him by coincidence in the bathroom, she even almost fell, which caused her to sprain her own ankle.

While Kobi held his phone in his hand, he laughed in a low voice and thought that this trip of his was going to be extraordinarily interesting.

After a simple wash-up, Ariah then went to meet Kobi. After she gave it a thought, she chose a shopping mall with a lot of people.

"I'm wearing a red-black coat and sitting in the corner of a dessert shop. Can you see me?"

When Kobi looked up and glanced around, sure enough, he saw her and whispered to the phone, "Wait for me."

Then, he walked towards her.

All this time, Kobi was a person who liked to take risks and seek excitement. Since Ariah was Jimmy's wife now, and he, who was her exboyfriend, felt excited to meet her at this moment.

As he adjusted his tie and walked up to Ariah, he stared at her light-complexion face with a smile in his eyes. "What are you doing?"

When Ariah heard his voice, she raised her head and immediately turned off her phone as she shook her head and answered, "it's nothing?"

A few minutes ago, Jimmy had sent her a text message and asked her what she wanted for dinner. Other than that, he also told her not to prepare food herself as he would be bringing dinner for her. Just as she was about to reply, Kobi arrived.

"What would you like to drink?" Casually, Ariah asked when she saw him sit down, "It's my treat, so don't worry about it."

Then, Kobi's lips curled into a smile as his gaze fell on the milk tea in front of Ariah. There was a circle of red on the straw, and it was her lipstick stain, with a nifty hint of sexiness. "I'll have whatever you're having."

Suddenly, Ariah blurted out, "This is very sweet. Didn't you dislike sweet food in the past?"

The moment she finished her question, the smile in Kobi's eyes grew even wider. "Do you still remember what happened in the past?"

However, Ariah was stunned when she met his deep gaze. After a long time, she spoke again, "Kobi, the reason I asked you out this time is that I want to ask you for a favor." "What is it? Tell me."

"Whatever that happened between you and me is in the past, and it's already a past-tense. I hope that you will not mention it to the Hudson Family or even to Jimmy."

The smile on Kobi's face gradually froze. "What?" Indifferently, Ariah looked at him, "Jimmy doesn't know about our past, and I didn't tell him either, so I hope you don't tell him about us." Those things should be said by her personally, and definitely not by another man.
