Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 557

Ben sighed. "I bet they are having a row now. I mean, look at his face!"

David agreed, "Yep, and we're being affected as well..."

"Look, is Captain Hudson going into the interrogation room?"

"Yep."

"Tsk, tsk. Those sc*mbags are gonna be miserable now that Captain Hudson is going to question them himself!"

Half an hour later, Jimmy came out. Ben patted David on the shoulder and said, "I think you'd better go in and check if the detainees are still alright."

David thought so too, as ordinary people wouldn't be able to bear the interrogation means of Captain Hudson.

When David went into the interrogation room, Ben entered Jimmy's office with an agonized look.

Inside, Jimmy was washing his hands at the washbasin. Ben cleared his throat and asked, "Capt., is there something bothering you?" "Why?" As expected, Jimmy was in a bad mood because his tone was extremely flat.

Ben could only laugh dryly and say, "Nothing. It's just that we're quite concerned about you." With a pause, he then carefully asked, "Anyway, did you... have a fight with your wife?"

Instantly, Jimmy paused washing his hands, and Ben was stunned at his darkened expression.

Needless to say, Jimmy must have had a quarrel with Ariah!

Realizing that, Ben wanted to leave quickly so that Jimmy would not get to vent his anger on him.

"Oh wait, I just remembered that I have a report to finish asap. I'll talk to you later." Ben quickly slipped away.

As soon as he went out, he met David, who just came out of the interrogation room, and hurriedly asked, "How're the detainees? Are they alright?"

"Yep, thankfully they're not injured." Seeing that Ben looked as if he had just survived a disaster, David then asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Captain Hudson is just too scary. I'm pretty sure he's having a row with his wife!"

"Really? Then what should we do? If he continues to be in a bad mood like now, well suffer along with him."

"Exactly, so we have to solve the root of the cause!"

"So what you're saying is..."

"Yep, in order to make our lives easier, we must help him to solve his conflict with his wife!" Upon some thinking, Ben smiled and decided.

Then, the two of them plotted their plan in a low voice...

Later, when Jimmy got off work, he saw Anna waiting for him outside the department.

But he just ignored her and went to get his car. Quickly, Anna jogged over and called out, "Jimmy, wait up!"

"What's the matter?"

"I... I came here to see you as it's been a long time since we last saw each other."

Jimmy's expression remained indifferent. "Oh."

Seeing that, Anna knew that he did not want to see her at all, so she was a little upset. "Jimmy, I'm sorry for what I did before. I'm really sorry. Can you please forgive me?" Shooting her a glance, he said, "I'm not blaming you."

"Really?" Anna was enlightened. "So... can we go back to how we were before?" "I'm afraid not." Jimmy refused her directly. "I only protected you in the past because I'd promised your father. But now that Kevin is caught, you're no longer in danger, so there's no need for that anymore."

Immediately, Anna's face turned pale. "Jimmy, are you trying to get rid of me now?"

Hearing that, Jimmy laughed and said, "Anna, you're an individual and you can live your life as you want. Your life doesn't depend on me."

Although he was grinning, seeing the serious look in his eyes, Anna knew that he meant it.

She looked at him in a daze and started to shed tears. "But we've known each other for so long and I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Can't you tell?"

Right away, his look got serious. "Anna, loving someone and being dependent on them are two different things. Please don't mix them up."

"..."

"You're just used to having me around. That's not loving me," Jimmy said blatantly, "When I was going undercover at your father's side, I was just a poor boy with nothing-the type that you looked down on most back then. So, stop lying to yourself that you fell in love with me at the first sight."

Anna looked at Jimmy in disbelief. Her body trembled and she felt shocked yet embarrassed.

"But... over the years, I've fallen in love with you already..."

Jimmy, however, lost his patience gradually and merely said, "It's up to you. I can't make you fall out of love with me. I just wanted to say that I only love Ariah and I'll never be with you, ever."

After that, he sat in the car and was about to leave.

Seeing that, Anna yelled, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you looking for Ariah? She's not at home at the moment!"

Jimmy quickly turned to look at her with a sharpened gaze. "What do you mean that she's not at home?"

"Well... I mean, she's..." Anna was startled by the coldness in his eyes and couldn't help but stepped back. Feeling wronged, she asked, "Why are you staring at me? I didn't say that she's in danger. She's just not at home! Wait, did you think that I kidnap her or something?"

That was just ridiculous!

Jimmy was relieved to hear that and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Do you know where is she then?"

"Yep. She's having a date with a man who's pursuing her."

Jimmy stiffened. "What did you say?"

"You've heard what I said!" Nevertheless, Anna didn't feel like giving up yet.

Suddenly, Jimmy strode towards her with a black look to which she was startled and took a step back. "Ji-Jimmy... what are you doing?"

Instantly, he grabbed hold of her wrist.

And it scared her a little. "What do you want?"

With a cold look, Jimmy dragged her into the car. "Where's Ariah? Tell me!"

On the other hand-

The newly-opened hot pot restaurant was quite busy and there were a lot of diners.

Seeing that Emily ordered tons of dishes, Ariah laughed. "Are you sure you can finish them all?"

She was amazed at how a thin person like Emily could have such a big appetite.

"Well, we can take them home if we have any leftovers." However, Emily stopped ordering as she was a little embarrassed.

"Ah, taking home the hot pot leftovers? I don't think so. Anyway, we can always come again if you want. Just give me a call." "Great." Emily happily agreed.

Meanwhile, seeing that Emily was no different from her usual self, Ariah finally said, "Um... about what happened last night, please don't take it to heart. Jimmy has always been bad-tempered and none of us can stop him when he gets angry. Also, please don't have to worry about Kobi and me. There was nothing between us."

She really liked Emily and didn't want Emily to misunderstand her.

Surprisingly, Emily was puzzled by her words and asked, "What do you mean? What happened between you and Kobi?" Ariah was dumbfounded. Did Kobi not tell Emily why he fought with Jimmy yet?
