Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 565

Ariah felt her body burning. She touched her forehead and felt that it was burning too. Then, she muttered to herself, 'Is my fever back again?' After waiting for Jimmy for some time, she began to feel agitated.

He was the one who asked her out, yet he was no where to be found, not to say his colleagues, who disappeared all of a sudden.

Frustrated, Ariah grew a little bit thirsty. She picked up the glass of water that she drank half earlier and chugged down the remaining water.

Cold water flowed down her dry throat. Only then did she feel a little more comfortable.

Sitting on the bed, she looked at the floor covered in petals and found it somewhat amusing. She never knew that an unromantic guy like Jimmy would know how to plan such a surprise. Throughout the years they were together, he had never planned such surprises for her.

He knew nothing about romance.

However, most of the women in the world wanted their man to be romantic.

Ariah was no exception.

Looking at those petals, although Ariah found it funny, deep down, she was moved.

It was rare for a man like Jimmy to put his pride in his pocket and do such a thing.

She waited for a long time but nobody came. Standing up, Ariah was about to leave. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit her, and she fell onto the bed.

Warmth surged up her body, and the silk quilt on the bed made her feel very comfortable. It was cold, yet she could not help but rub her cheeks against the quilt. What was wrong with her?

It did not seem like she was sick. Her body and mind seemed to be out of control, and she was yearning for something.

Something must be wrong with her!

After the realization dawned on Ariah, she struggled to get up to leave, but her body was so weak that she did not have any strength left.

A moment after that, she heard the sound of the door opening.

Was Jimmy here?

Ariah opened her eyes. Confused, she saw a tall and sturdy figure walking towards her. She muttered, "Jimmy?"

Sitting down beside the bed, the person reached out his hand to touch her face. The man's hand was ice-cold, and he seemed to possess some kind of magical power. Unable to resist herself, Ariah subconsciously moved closer to the man.

Surprised, Kobi looked at Ariah, who was snuggling into his embrace. The moment he walked in, he already noticed that something was wrong with her. Her face was flushed, and her eyes looked dazed. It seemed like she did not recognize him.

She looked sick, but she smelled so sweet, and it was so tempting.

"Jimmy..."

Ariah whispered softly in Jimmy's arms. He felt her breath on his chest and instantly, his body started burning.

Feeling his body tensed up, his gaze became deeper gradually. Then, he held Ariah tightly, "Baby, are you drugged?"

Obviously, Ariah seemed like she was drugged.

She even mistook Kobi for Jimmy. Kobi had a weird feeling in his heart, but he knew perfectly well that he did not want to push her away.

Although Ariah mistook him for someone else, he did not mind.

As Kobi stared at Ariah's flushed face, the smile in his eyes deepened and his heart stirred.

In the study room at Hudson Mansion.

After Jimmy was done talking to his father, he stood up and was about to leave. However, his father spoke again, "Wait."

Jimmy turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Take a seat first." Mack pointed to the chair.

Jimmy raised his brows.

Mack took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "When are you going to remarry Ariah?"

"I don't know."

"You're such an irresponsible guy."

Jimmy snorted. He will remarry Ariah right away, but was she willing to do so?

He was afraid that Ariah would despise remarrying him even more so after Kobi's return.

Why did Kobi have to be Ariah's first love?!

"Your mother told me yesterday that she will try her best to get along with Ariah as long as Ariah treats her better, but only on condition that both of you get your marriage certificate done as soon as possible. She can't allow you two to live together without getting married."

Putting down his teacup, Jimmy's father asked, "I don't think this is too much to ask, right?"

"No."

"Then find some time to go get the marriage certificate back."

"Is this something that I can do by myself?"

Mack raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean? Is Ariah not willing to remarry you?"

Frustrated and depressed, Jimmy did not know what to say.

Mack could not help but laugh. "Well, who was the one who wanted a divorce first back then?"

Jimmy was speechless, as he was the one who asked for a divorce first.

"Since you're the one who wanted a divorce, bear the consequences now." It was rare to see his son being vexed by relationship issues. Mack was thrilled. It seemed like he chose the right daughter-in-law back then.

After experiencing those things and becoming a detective, his heart was dead, as though he could not feel anything.

Worried about Jimmy's mental condition, Mack once pestered him to see a psychologist. However, Jimmy did not care at all.

Back when he was working as an undercover officer, he provoked too many people and made too many enemies. As a consequence, people from both sides of the law hunted him down.

In the past few years, no one in the Hudson Family was able to live in peace.

At times, Mack was even afraid that he would wake up to find his son dead.

After a long discussion with Ella, they made up their mind to let Jimmy get married and have children. Just in case if anything bad happened to Jimmy, the Hudson Family's bloodline would continue.

Jimmy understood his parents' concern back then. After knowing their decision, he said calmly, "It's fun to have a son, anyway. If you guys found a suitable woman, I'll go meet her."

Later on, he met Ariah. In just a few months, the two of them decided to get married.

Everybody thought that such a marriage without love like Ariah and Jimmy's would not last long, but the couple surprised everybody as they grew closer day by day.

Seeing Jimmy living a decent life now, Mack was very pleased. Compared to the guy who only knew how to smoke and drink back then, Jimmy looked a lot better now. Finally, Jimmy felt more 'human-like'.

Looking at his father's gloating attitude, Jimmy was speeches. "I'll make a move first. Please pass Kobi my message."

Mack got up and followed after Jimmy. After pondering fora moment, he nodded. "Since they are already engaged, getting married will be just a matter of time. I will discuss it with Kobi and ask them to get married as soon as possible."

Jimmy answered.

Curious, Mark asked, "You can talk to your brother about this. Why did you have to tell me?"

Smiling coldly, Jimmy did not say anything. If he and Kobi met up right now, they would probably fight once again.

Only after Kobi and Alice got married, he would feel a bit more at ease.

On second thought, Jimmy thought he was not in his right mind to ask his father such a small favor.

After going downstairs, he saw Ella in the living room. Ella saw her son, but she snorted and ignored him. It was obvious that she was still angry at Jimmy, who 'threatened' her for Ariah.

Raising his eyebrows, Jimmy walked up to her. "Madam, you look pretty good today. Seems like you're getting more and more beautiful. I'll ask Ariah to come over someday so that you can give her some of your skincare tips."
