Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 562

Anna wasn't the only one stunned. Emily was also shocked and couldn't believe what she saw.

Quickly, she whispered to Ariah, "Why is your husband acting so close with that woman?"

After saying that, she could sense Ariah emanating a cold temperament.

So she didn't dare to ask anything more and went back to her seat, trying not to get too close to Ariah.

Meanwhile, Jimmy acted as if he didn't notice Ariah's anger and continued speaking to Anna. Sometimes, he would pick up food for her and serve her water. He was so attentive that it was as if Anna were his wife.

"Hey, try this."

"The food is quite spicy. Here, have some milk."

"Try this. This tastes good too."

Slowly, Anna's bowl was piled up with the food and she kept thanking Jimmy with a red face whereas her heart was thumping. Soon, she noticed Ariah's piercing gaze.

Ariah wasn't looking at her though. Instead, she was gazing at Jimmy.

However, Jimmy ignored Ariah's gaze and became even more attentive towards her.

Was Jimmy... doing it on purpose?

Soon, Anna realized that and her face turned pale.

Initially, she thought that Jimmy had taken good care of her because he, more or less, care about her. But it turned out that he was only being nice to her due to Ariah's presence.

He only brought her here because Ariah was here dining with another man!

Hence, he was trying to get Ariah jealous of those moves!

Anna couldn't believe that Jimmy would do such a childish thing. He wasn't like the mature and steady man she used to know.

No, actually, he was still steady, mature, and charming to others. He was only petty and jealous when it came to Ariah.

Realizing that, Anna had suddenly lost all her appetite.

She couldn't accept the fact that Jimmy was using her to make Ariah jealous.

But then, she thought why not use the opportunity in her favour?

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her emotions and leaned over to him, saying, "Jimmy, that's enough food for me. You should eat more too."

Silently, Jimmy glanced at her and frowned slightly, then moved away from her.

"Jimmy, let's go back now if you're full too," Anna said as she got closer to him again. "Shall we go to my place, or yours? Oh wait, why don't we go to my place tonight? You haven't come to my place in a long time. I really miss spending the night with you. And last time, you said that my bed was quite comfortable."

What was Anna talking about?

Jimmy froze and then glared at her. But when he thought of something, he suppressed his anger.

Seeing that he was holding his temper in, Anna was a little surprised.

Meanwhile, the situation was getting quite awkward. Kobi cleared his throat and interrupted with embarrassment, "Jimmy, you two..."

Before he could finish, Jimmy's sharp gaze swept over him.

So he shrugged and decided to stay out of it.

Then, Jimmy shifted his gaze to Ariah, who sat there calmly as if she didn't mind about the situation.

She did not seem concerned at all.

Tsk, she must not care about him now.

Because Kobi -her first lover-had returned. So she didn't care about these things anymore, did she?

At the same time, Emily sat beside Ariah with a distorted look. She wanted to say something, but eventually, she just covered her mouth and said nothing.

Her hand hurt!

It was really painful.

Under the table, Ariah was squeezing her hand hard in order to keep calm.

After a while, Ariah finally got up and said lightly, "Emily, I'm full. Let's go."

Hearing that, Emily heaved a sigh of relief and quickly hid her hands behind her back, afraid that Ariah would squeeze her hand again. "Alright, let's go. Uh... Jimmy, why don't you send Ariah back?" It would be an opportunity for them to talk things through!

Ariah, however, refused with a faint smile, "Nah, let's not trouble him as he's going to Anna's house later. Kobi, since you've been to my place before, could you please send me back? It's not too far anyway." Kobi rose to his feet and smiled faintly. "Sure."

"Let's head off then."

Ignoring Jimmy's ice-cold look, Ariah left.

Staring at Ariah's graceful figure, Jimmy was extremely frustrated.

Kobi had been to her house? When? How come he didn't know?

What else was Ariah hiding from him?

And she even asked Kobi to send her back right in front of him!

Was she flouting him?

At the same time, seeing that Jimmy's face had turned livid, Anna did not dare to provoke him and stayed as far away from him as possible.

On the other hand, Emily noticed that Ariah wasn't looking good when Jimmy didn't come after them, so she asked, "Ariah, are you gonna leave just like that?"

With a chuckle, Ariah replied, "Well, haven't we done eating?"

"But, your husband is with that woman..."

"Ah, Emily, I forgot to tell you that before you guys came back, Jimmy and I had divorced already."

Shocked, Emily widened her eyes. "Heavens, really?"

Although Jimmy had always wanted to get remarried to Ariah, he had never had the chance to do so. So technically, they were strangers now.

"Yep." Ariah smiled. "So he's single now and he can be with whoever he wants to be with."

"But, isn't it a bit upsetting to see him dating another woman so soon?"

Ariah shrugged. "Nope. I don't mind at all."

Emily didn't believe her.

She pouted and thought back to just now how Ariah had squeezed her hand hard.

Ariah obviously still cared about Jimmy!

Walking out of the restaurant, Kobi drove the car to the entrance. When Ariah and Emily were about to get in the car, Jimmy's voice suddenly came from behind. "Are you sure you wanna get in that car?" There was a warning to his tone.

Instantly, Ariah paused from getting in the car.

When Emily saw Jimmy coming over, she purposely pushed Ariah towards him. "Hey, Jimmy, are you here to send Ariah home?"

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Did I say I'm sending her home?"

"Uh..."

Seeing that he refused to take the chance to yield to Ariah, Emily glared at him secretly.

"If you're not willing to take her home, and you refused to let her get in our car, how is she gonna go home then?"

"She could take a cab back."

Emily was choked at his words.

And she felt an urge to punch him. He was unbelievable! How could he suggest that Ariah took a cab back this late by herself? It wasn't safe at all! Although she felt angry, Emily still smiled in a good-tempered way and stated, "But it's not safe for her to go home alone. She could be running into danger."
