Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 561

Ariah held the card tightly in her hand and stared at Jimmy in disbelief. "Whose card is this?"

How could he possibly have a platinum card?

An average man like he shouldn't have it!

Although she was not familiar with the world of the rich, she had heard of this kind of card before because her father had once tried to apply for it and he even tried to pull strings for his application, but still, he didn't get it.

Back then, the Myers Family was at the decline stage already, so Felix wanted such a card to raise his reputation. However, the bank declined his application upon evaluating their assets. And now, Jimmy actually had the card!

As someone with an average income, how could he afford to have a platinum card?

"You didn't pick this up from somewhere, did you?" Ariah asked tentatively.

Jimmy frowned as he looked at her. "Are you being serious?"

"Ahem." To be honest, she never thought of Jimmy as someone rich.

The Hudson Family might be affluent, but with

Jimmy's meager salary, he definitely couldn't get the card.

"I didn't pick it up somewhere." Seeing the worried look on her face, Jimmy was amused. "Anyway, give the card to the waiter and let him settle our bill."

"No!" Ariah shook her head.

"Why?"

"Because..."

Ariah couldn't tell why exactly. She just wanted to watch Jimmy make a fool of himself, not to make him go bankrupt. If he didn't have the money to pay for it, she would cancel her order and apologize to the waiter.

But she didn't expect that Jimmy would really have such a large sum of money!

Where did his money come from?

If he really had that much money, Ariah wouldn't want him to waste it like that.

They should save that money for their child in the future!

Thinking about that, Ariah left the card to Jimmy and smiled apologetically at the waiter. "Sorry, I didn't mean to order that much. Could you please cancel the order? I'm sorry." The waiter was speechless.

Just as she was about to continue to apologize to the waiter, Jimmy said, "Go and call your manager over."

The waiter was stunned. "What?"

"Do you want me to repeat that?"

Sensing Jimmy's dignified aura, the waiter quickly nodded. "No, I got it." Then, he went and called the manager over.

Ariah gave Jimmy a side glance, wondering what he was up to.

After a while, the manager came over. The waiter had already told him what happened so he smiled and reassured, "Don't worry. I understand that you would like to cancel the order." "Who told you to cancel that?" Jimmy asked directly.

Not only the manager but Ariah was also stunned. What was Jimmy doing?

"We do want to order that. Take it as doing good deeds." Jimmy handed the card over and said, "Go and prepare our dishes."

The manager answered joyfully, "Awesome! Well start serving right away."

Then, he left with the waiter.

Ariah was dumbfounded.

And she couldn't believe what she had heard.

Jimmy was such a spendthrift. How could he just spend the money like that!

No, no, why should she be upset? What he did was a good deed and she should feel proud of him.

However, she felt her heart ache a little, as if she was spending her own money...

Could it be that inside her heart, she already took Jimmy as her family? So when he was spending his money, it felt as if he was spending their collective sum?

Ariah sat down with a conflicted look on her face. Just as her mind was drifting apart, Emily returned and was surprised to see a strange woman sitting beside Jimmy. "Who's-"

"Just ignore them," Ariah pulled her to sit by her side and said.

Instantly, Jimmy's face darkened.

Meanwhile, Emily took a deep breath and said to Ariah, "Ariah, I wanna apologize to you."

"Ah? Why?"

"I shouldn't get jealous of you and Kobi just now. When you two were having a conversation, you seemed so compatible with him that I felt as if I was the third wheel. So I grew a little bitter, ignored your question, and found an excuse to go to the washroom. Sorry, I was being petty."

The reason she went to the bathroom was to sort out her emotions. Now that she calmed down, Emily thought that she had been too sensitive. Kobi and Ariah knew each other since before, so it was normal for them to get along well.

Therefore, she took the initiative to say, "Although you two had dated before, I understand that you're just friends now."

The more Emily said, the more Ariah could feel that their surrounding temperature dropped.

Without turning around, she knew that the cold temperament was emanated from Jimmy.

Initially, Jimmy was already quite angry with her for holding back the fact that she knew Kobi. Now, with Emily's words, he must have misunderstood her even more.

What did Emily mean by saying that she seemed compatible with Kobi?

Please, they were just having a normal conversation!

She and Kobi were not compatible at all! What bullsh*t!

Was Emily trying to make things more difficult for her?

Thinking about that, Ariah turned to sneak a glance at Jimmy, but she quickly withdrew her gaze.

Jimmy looked quite livid at the moment.

Embarrassed, she turned to Emily and replied, "I'm glad you understand." And then, she emphasized, "You're right. Kobi and I are just friends!"

Hearing that, Emily took her hand and said, "Yep, I trust you!"

Deep down, Ariah felt a little awkward.

"Ah, what are you doing, Jimmy?"

All of a sudden, Anna let out a soft cry as Jimmy was pinching her hand so hard that it hurt her.

Jimmy lowered his eyes and smiled, though the smile did not reach into his eyes. He picked up some food for Anna and said, "Hurry up and eat. Then, well go back." Immediately, she looked up in disbelief at the fact that he picked some food for her.

Was she dreaming?

Jimmy had been served by the servants in his family since he was a child. How could he possibly know how to take care of others?

Sometimes, when Anna went out to dine with him, he would always just take care of himself and neglected her. So naturally, she was shocked that he picked up the food for her. "What are you waiting for?" Jimmy frowned and gave her another piece of food. "I remember you like the fish balls, right?"

Anna nodded in a daze. "Yeah..."

"Then have more."

"Okay..."

Dumbfounded, Anna then picked up her food and started to eat. Suddenly, Jimmy reached out to her and said, "There's something on your chin."

Saying that, he quickly wiped the sauce away from her chin.

What... was Jimmy doing? Instantly, Anna widened her eyes and her heart started to beat faster.

Her cheeks flushed as she took a peek at him.

She couldn't believe that Jimmy would do such an intimate thing to her!
