Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 541

Jimmy crossed his arms and gave Ariah a side look. "I didn't know you can talk rubbish."

Knowing that he didn't believe her, she didn't argue further. "Anyway, I'm really hungry."

Right then, her stomach started to rumble.

A little embarrassed, Ariah said, "See, I didn't lie..."

Then, she got up and wanted to go to the kitchen to cook something. But then, she realized that she was naked under the blanket. "Hey, can you go out for a second? I need to change my clothes."

"What? Are you afraid that I'll see you naked? But I already saw everything last night."

Ariah pulled the blanket tightly over her body and glared at him. "I don't care. Just go out!"

Jimmy took a look at her and turned to leave. "Alright."

Seeing that he was indeed leaving, Ariah was stunned. "Where are you going?"

"I'm gonna make breakfast."

She was surprised.

Did Jimmy know how to make breakfast? She was doubtful that a manly young guy like him knew

how to cook.

Over the past few years, they always had breakfast outside, and when it came to lunch, Ariah would eat at the hospital's cafeteria. As for dinner, she would usually do takeaways, or sometimes, she would dine out with her colleagues.

On the other hand, Jimmy would just eat outside, as he hardly went home when things got busy at work.

So she was quite shocked to hear that he wanted to make breakfast himself.

After he went out, she immediately put on her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she went to the kitchen, the breakfast was almost ready.

It smelled good!

And it should probably taste well too.

Ariah swallowed her saliva subconsciously. She didn't expect him to really know how to cook. What a surprise!

She then went over to see that there were two perfectly poached eggs sitting in the pan.

"How did you know how to make these?" Ariah couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I learned to cook when I was in the police academy. To be honest, there's nothing that I can't learn. It's just that if I wanna do it or not."

Tsk.

Arrogant!

As if he could sense her berating him, Jimmy narrowed his eyes and continued, "I'm not arrogant. I'm just confident."

"Ahem." Was this guy a mind reader?

Her face turned red from coughing. Suddenly, Jimmy leaned over and surrounded her with his scent. Ariah was shocked and took a step back. "Wh-what are you doing?"

Her kitchen was quite small. Taking two steps back, her back was already against the sink, and she stared straight at him.

Jimmy had closed in on her, which forced her to look at his toned upper body. He was the kind who looked slim with the clothes on, but underneath it, he was rather muscular.

At the same time, he had leaned over and Ariah's cheeks happened to touch his chest. Instantly, her face flushed. "Hey, what..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Jimmy retreated and gave her a faint smile. "What are you thinking about? I was just taking a plate."

Ariah was choked at his words.

Looking over, she saw him holding the plate.

He must have done it on purpose!

He was definitely trying to tease her just now.

Thinking about that, Ariah stormed out of the kitchen.

Jimmy chuckled as he watched her leaving in a fit of pique.

The breakfast Jimmy made was simple yet nutritious. Although the noodles looked quite simple compared to the ones they served in restaurants, the taste was not bad. Jimmy watched Ariah as she ate the noodles with relish.

"Now, can you tell me why you were drinking last night?"

Hearing his deep voice abruptly, Ariah got choked by the noodles and started to cough heavily before she could explain, "Well... I just felt like drinking last night."

Jimmy sneered and said, "I'm afraid you're grounded starting from now on, unless you tell me the reason you drank."

"How could you ground me like that?"

"What?"

"You're being unreasonable!" "Oh, really?"

Ariah was speechless.

Meanwhile, Jimmy put down his cutlery and crossed his arms, looking squarely at her until she could not bear his gaze anymore and gave in. "There really is no special reason. When I went to the supermarket to buy groceries, I just happened to see a shelf of wine, so I bought some."

Actually, yesterday seeing Kobi leave angrily, she had recalled some things of the past, so she couldn't help but want to get drunk.

But she didn't know how to tell this to Jimmy.

Because he had such a bad temper. If he knew that she drank because of Kobi, he would definitely lose his cool.

Just as Ariah tried to think of a way to change the subject, Jimmy suddenly said, "Since you said there was no special reason, then I'll let this pass." Really?

Ariah stared at him in disbelief and couldn't believe that he had let it pass just like that.

"But..."

As expected, there was a but.

Pouting, she asked, "What?"

Jimmy leaned forward slightly and looked at her intensely. "Do you still remember what you did after getting drunk last night?"

"What did I do?" Ariah swallowed hard.

"Guess."

"I... I don't remember."

Squinting at her, he said lazily, "You were acting aggressively."

"What? I was being aggressive?"

Oh no, she was supposed to be a lady with nice manners...

Ariah bit her lips. "You're lying, right?"

With a snort, Jimmy retorted, "Tsk, why would I lie to you?"

"Um... what did I do then?"

"Well, first, you wouldn't let me touch you, saying that I'm a jerk and that how your father knows a lot of cops..."

Instantly, Ariah stiffened. Did she actually say these in front of him?

Oh Gosh, she was really out of her mind.

How could she spill out her past just like that?

Ariah was so regretful that she wished she hadn't drunk last night!

Just then, Jimmy leaned over the table and gazed at her, asking with a serious look, "Ariah, were you raped before?"

Hearing that, Ariah rolled her eyes. "Didn't you know the answer?"

On the first night when they got married, she had bled as it was her first time having sex, and he was surprised to see that. He didn't expect her to keep her virginity until marriage, which was quite rare in today's world.

Jimmy was choked by her words. "Why did you say those words last night then?"
