Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 544

Hearing Emily's words, Ariah was stunned.

She would never have imagined that the bruises on Emily were caused by Kobi.

Ariah was stunned for a long time before she slowly regained her wits as she muttered, "W-why did he do this to you? Were you guys... f-fighting? Did he hit you?"

But as far as she knew, Kobi was a gentleman and he would never hit a woman.

Yet, the bruises on Emily proved otherwise.

"No!" Emily's delicate face turned redder as she clarified, "He didn't hit me. It's just that... when we did it, he couldn't help doing this."

What?

Looking at Emily's shy reaction, Ariah immediately got what Emily meant.

Her face turned red instantly and she let go of Emily. Embarrassed, she murmured, "I see... Well, you two seemed to have much fun."

For some reason, her mind drifted back to that day at the Hudson's when she and Jimmy heard the noise coming from Emily's room... Shoot! What was she thinking!

Ariah shook her head and chased away those thoughts.

Then, thinking of how she had the notion of taking Emily to the hospital just now...

Heavens, she felt even more embarrassing now.

She must be slow-witted today.

On the other hand, growing up abroad, Emily was much open-minded than Ariah and thought that it was normal for Kobi and her to have sex before marriage.

"But Kobi has never done this before. Maybe he just got too excited last night." Emily put on her coat and added, "Anyway, don't you and your husband do this sometimes to enhance sexual pleasure?"

"Of course not!" Ariah blurted out, "How is this enhancing sexual pleasure? It seemed he almost broke your neck!"

Jimmy definitely wouldn't treat her like this. Although sometimes he got excited too, he would still be careful not to hurt her.

He would never do what Kobi did to Emily. Last night he just left a few hickeys on her, which was nothing compared to the marks on Emily.

Nevertheless, Ariah didn't dare to imagine if Emily got more bruises underneath her clothes beside the visible ones.

She never thought that Kobi would do something like this.

"Wait, did you say that he did this yesterday?" Thinking of something, Ariah asked.

Emily nodded. "Yeah, to be frank, I think he was not quite himself yesterday. He called me to the hotel and seemed to be venting on me. I've never seen him acting like this before. Honestly, he scared me a little."

Ariah was stunned. Yesterday... she met with Kobi and told him the truth. When he left, he was apparently very angry, to which Ariah was frightened a little too.

Did Kobi do this to Emily because of her?

"Emily..." With a pause, Ariah grabbed Emily's hand and questioned seriously, "When did Kobi act like that yesterday? Was it during the day?"

"Yeah, how did you know? He called me in the afternoon, and he didn't sound right on the phone..."

Gradually, Ariah's face turned a little pale. She didn't expect that she was indirectly causing Emily to suffer.

But Kobi...

Why did Kobi treat Emily that way?

Ariah couldn't imagine that a gentle and polite

man like Kobi would get so violent!

On the other hand, at the police department. Jimmy lit a cig and slowly read through the documents that were just sent in by Ben.

Ben's report was rather detailed. He found out everything about Ariah's education and her past, which was squeaky clean-she had never had a police record.

Jimmy frowned and was a little puzzled by the findings.

Yesterday, Ariah's reaction was a little weird, so he wanted to know what she had been through before.

However, he couldn't find any clues at all.

Putting down the report, he took a big puff of the cig and tapped on the desk casually.

A moment later, he picked up the report again and questioned Ben, "You only found out about her high school? What about her college?"

Ben took a sip of water and replied, "Well, it's a little difficult to find out her college. I was only able to find out about her high school because it was in Beachmarsh City. As for where she went for college, it's hard to know, especially if she went to study abroad."

Abroad?

Jimmy was stunned. He had never thought of such a possibility.

"I remember that Ariah majored in psychology or something? I heard these kinds of majors were much more researched abroad. Besides, didn't you know where she goes to college?"

Suddenly, Jimmy threw the stack of findings on the table and snapped, "Well, you may go out to work now!"

"Tsk." Ben curled his lips and added, "Capt., I understand you have no idea about your wife's background. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to check these. I just wanna let you know that it's okay to know nothing about your wife. You don't have to be embarrassed..."

"Are you done talking?"

"Alright, I'm getting out now." Ben quickly left.

After that, Jimmy sat back down on the swivel chair, narrowed his eyes, and wondered where Ariah went to college.

Perhaps someone might know this.

Later, getting off work, Jimmy drove straight to the Myers'. When the maid saw him coming, she was very surprised. "Mr. Hudson, what brings you down here?"

"I'm here to pick up something for Ariah." Jimmy went in straight. "She's been looking for her childhood teddy bear at home but couldn't find it at all, so she asked me to come down to see if it's here."

"I see, come on in and take a seat. I'll go upstairs and find it for you."

"Nah, I can find it myself. You just have to tell me where her room is."

"Um..."

"What's wrong? Is it not a good time?"

Actually, the maid was worried to show him Ariah's former bedroom because it was quite shabby...

Before the maid could say something, a voice rang out from upstairs. "Hey, Jimmy, what brings you here?"

Jimmy turned around and saw Lindsey coming down. She looked joyful to see him.
