Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 548

Jimmy smiled. "What do you think I want?"

He was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. There was a coldness in them instead.

Seeing his terrifying expression, Lindsey was frightened.

"You... better don't mess with me. My parents are still here." Lindsey was so scared that her knees almost go weak and she felt guilty because she had tried to frame Jimmy.

At first, when Felix came home to scold him, he just kept silent.

So Lindsey thought that he was just another weak man who didn't dare to stand up for himself when being framed.

"Tsk, if it's not for your sister's sake, do you think you could get off easy today?" Jimmy gave her a scornful look.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

Was he not going to blame her?

Jimmy looked at her coldly, then lowered his voice and said something to her.

Upon hearing what he said, Lindsey trembled a little, and her expression suddenly changed.

Her eyes were filled with fear as she stared at him.

After a while, she suddenly turned to Felix and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I framed Jimmy. He didn't try to take advantage of me. It was just that... I admire him and wanted to be with him, but he refused me. So I got angry and did all these..."

"What?"

Hearing that, Felix got furious. Earlier, he had been questioning Jimmy angrily, and now it turned out that everything was done by his little daughter shamelessly.

Felix was so angry that he gave Lindsey a slap and yelled, "Go back to your room!"

"Dad, you hit me?"

Covering her face, Lindsey looked at her father in disbelief.

"Beat it!"

Lindsey stamped her feet and ran upstairs.

Now, the living room was finally silent.

A while later, Felix came to Jimmy and said awkwardly, "Lindsey is still young and immature. I will discipline her later. This time, please do me a favor and let it go..."

Emily was surprised to hear that. "Ah, is she still young? I think she looks older than me. Ariah, how old is your sister?"

Lindsey was only one year younger than Ariah. It was ridiculous that Felix had used this as an excuse.

As soon as Emily asked that, Felix's face instantly became grave.

Seeing that, Ariah had to hold back her laughter and answered seriously, "I remember that Lindsey is only one or two years younger than me. Dad, how old is she again?" Felix's face completely darkened now.

Quickly, Dakota tugged on Ariah's sleeve and Ariah turned around to look at her. Dakota seemed embarrassed as she whispered to her daughter, "Ariah, please forgive us this time. Your father didn't know the truth and he was tricked by your sister too."

The smile on Ariah's face instantly disappeared.

"Mom, when Jimmy was wronged by Lindsey just now, why haven't you thought he could be framed?"

Now that they knew that Lindsey was lying, they started to ask for forgiveness? So was Jimmy being framed for nothing?"

Dakota was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

Right then, Ariah was pulled into an embrace. Shocked, she turned around and saw Jimmy looking at her with a burning gaze.

Her heart jolted and she struggled. "What are you doing?"

How could he hug her in front of her mom? Was he slowly ignoring the manners now?

Meanwhile, Jimmy just said without looking at the Myers, "I have no intention of going deep into this matter. Ariah, let's go home now."

Then he took her hand and led her out.

"Mom!" Ariah waved at her mother. "We're leaving now. I'll come to visit you again when I'm free... Jimmy, be gentle!"

After they left, Dakota turned to Felix and said softly, "Lindsey shouldn't have done such a thing. She almost sowed discord between Ariah and her husband..." "Shut up!" Felix had been infuriated. "You're in no position to say that!"

Seeing the grave look on her husband, Dakota flinched from commenting anything further.

On the other hand, Felix just snorted and left.

"Jimmy, do you hear me? Be gentle!" Ariah struggled. "Where's Emily by the way? Also, what did you say to Lindsey just now? Her expression changed completely." Ariah had noticed how Lindsey changed her attitude after Jimmy whispering something to her.

Hearing her series of questions, Jimmy just replied briefly, "I hold some of her secrets. So naturally, she was scared when I told her about that."

Stunned a little, Ariah then asked, "What secrets?"

However, Jimmy didn't answer her question and changed the subject. "Why do you trust me so much?"

The moment she entered the door, she never showed any doubt towards him, even when she saw Lindsey's clothes were torn apart.

"Well, who else can I trust if not you?" Ariah felt that his question was strange.

When Jimmy heard that, he froze for a second. Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her hard.

Dumbfounded, Ariah tried to push him away but his strength was greater than her and he quickly took control of her.

Being kissed hard, she began to feel her lips hurt, and yet, he still wouldn't let go of her.

Ariah rolled her eyes at the fact that he always liked to kiss her at their slightest disagreement.

Meanwhile, Jimmy let go of her a little and warned hoarsely, "Don't get distracted!"

"Why... are you kissing me all of a sudden?" Ariah looked away, refusing to let him kiss her anymore.

"Because I'm touched by your confession just now."

"What? Since when did I confess to you?" Ariah was confused.

"Just now in front of your family, you strived to do me justice and you believed in me unconditionally... Aren't these the signs that you love me?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows at her and his eyes were full of smiles. He didn't expect that Ariah would speak for him today.

And he was touched by her unconditional trust.

Initially, he had been so angry that he wanted to get even with her, but not anymore.

He wanted his wife to think about him only and he would never tolerate her having another man inside her heart.

Back in the Myers', she did very well in speaking for him, so Jimmy decided not to pursue her past anymore.

On the other hand, Ariah was stunned to hear his explanation. She couldn't believe that those were signs of love to him.

Gaping at him, she wanted to say something, but when she saw the smile in his eyes, she could only swallow her words. Never mind, she would let him misunderstand it this time.

Just then, Emily's voice rang out behind them. "Um... Are you guys done kissing? Can we get in the car now, please? I'm freezing!"

She wore little today and she couldn't stand the temperature outside anymore.

With a red face, Ariah swiftly pushed Jimmy away and pulled open the backseat door. "Come on in."

Immediately, Emily got into the car, followed by Ariah.

"Sit in front!"

Jimmy closed the door casually.

"Why?" Ariah frowned. "And how could we just leave Emily sitting in the back alone?"

"Cut the crap and sit in front." Jimmy shoved her into the passenger seat.

Ariah could only accept it.
