Sharon was embarrassed by Ariah's remark. Being watched by the others during a kiss was too awkward!
Instantly, she drooped her head and almost wanted to hide from this awkward situation, as she could feel the hotness on her face.
At first, Stanley was embarrassed too, but when he saw Sharon flushing, he calmed down and tidied up his clothes before glancing at the two. "Hudson, aren't you a police officer? How could you allow Ariah to break into the house like this? Shame on you!"
Jimmy choked at his words and snapped, "Jeez, you're so mean even when you lost your memory!"
"Sharon told me that you two are going for a divorce, so why are you still here then? Are you two getting back together?"
"I'm not getting back together with him!" Ariah snorted coldly. She decided to visit Sharon since she was free today, but she didn't expect to see Jimmy downstairs.
What a bummer!
Ignoring Jimmy, Ariah looked at Sharon, who was still blushing, and asked, "Where are the kids?"
Before Sharon could answer, the kids' voices came from the bathroom. "Mommy, is Aunt Ariah here? We heard her voice!"
Hearing that, Ariah headed to the bathroom.
Sharon followed her as well.
Frustrated, Jimmy turned his gaze back to Stanley. "I just teased you for being too passionate in the kiss that you didn't even hear us coming in. Do you really have to say that to revenge on me?"
"Well, you know I'm mean, so of course, I'll make you pay for it since you let Sharon feel uneasy." Then, with a disdainful look, Stanley continued, "By the way, I heard you have a mistress outside? Tsk, Officer Hudson, what a surprise!"
"What are you talking about! You know I'm not that kinda person..." Abruptly, he thought of something and sighed. "Well, you actually don't know, because you've lost your memory. Anyway, it's complicated, but it's not what you think."
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, the women were bathing the kids.
After the shower, the twins smelled nice, and Ariah couldn't help hugging Sadie and pecking her on the cheek, causing Sadie to dodge and laugh.
Seeing how much Ariah liked the kids, Sharon blurted, "Ariah, I know it must be hard for you and Jimmy. But after so many years together, are you guys really going to get a divorce? I mean you obviously like the kids, why don't you consider having one with him?"
Ariah went stiff for a moment, then continued helping Sadie to put on the clothes as she replied, "Sharon, why are you suddenly acting like my mom, urging me to get pregnant? You know that getting married for many years doesn't equal living happily ever after. And I'm serious about divorcing Jimmy."
Upon hearing her words, Sharon was shocked. Although the dispute between Jimmy and Ariah had been going on for the past two years, the two of them never really divorced.
Therefore, Sharon thought the couple was merely having dissensions and they didn't really mean to separate.
