As for Jimmy on the other side, when he came to Ariah's house, she and the kids were still asleep.
So no one answered the door after he knocked for a long time.
Unable to get in the house, he was quite frustrated and beginning to smoke.
In the past few years, although the relationship between him and Ariah was getting worse day by day and they would often quarrel, Ariah never really wanted to divorce him. However, things were different after Anna showed her the photos.
He didn't want to get a divorce, so he dragged this on for almost two years.
Jimmy didn't come back to his senses until he was scalded by the cig, and he threw the cig into the trash can. Then his mind wandered off again. He knew that everyone wanted him and Ariah to divorce, which was probably the best choice for her, but he just couldn't do that.
Each time he made up his mind to divorce her to protect her, he would always regret it later.
If they divorced for real now, they would probably never get back together again.
Closing his eyes, he let out a heavy sigh. He had always been a casual person, but now there were a few traces of sorrow on his face.
Right then, the door was opened and Ariah popped her head out. Seeing his expression, she was stunned, "Why are you looking sad?"
Jimmy's body froze for a second and then he looked like himself again as he joked, "Well, I was thinking about you on the bed since we haven't done it for a long time. Oh wait, since we are both free, do you want to do it now?"
Hearing that, Ariah had to take deep breaths to restrain herself from punching him.
Yet, he didn't realize it at all and kept staring at her lecherously. "I know you're coveting my perfect body. If you want to do it, just say it. I can do it with you for free. What do you think?"
Ariah really couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the door shut, telling him to scram!
Seeing that, Jimmy banged on the door and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. I'm here to pick up the kids. Stanley woke up already and wants to see them."
However, she didn't open the door.
Slowly, Jimmy was furious. "Ariah, open the door, or I'll call someone to break it!"
Ariah knew that this b*stard would really do that. Gritting her teeth, she opened the door.
"Good girl," Jimmy said as he walked in.
Ariah ignored him and went back to the bedroom to call the two children.
Seamus was easy-going and quickly got up to put on his clothes and wash up, whereas Sadie refused to get up, so Ariah had to hold her and coaxed her softly.
Looking at Ariah who was giving off a maternal glow, Jimmy thought that she was gorgeous. Ariah had many sides to her personality-she could be hot, flirtatious, and even innocent-looking when she was coaxing the children.
