Jimmy and Ariah were invited by Stanley. "Stanley wants me to check on the two children. He was worried that last night's incident might have traumatized them," explained Ariah.
While nodding her head, Sharon asked, "Alright, how are you going to do that?"
"Don't worry. It's nothing serious. He just wants me to talk and have fun with them." Ariah then pinched her face with a smile. "I'll bring the two of them to the room. Also, I need you to do me a favor."
"What is it?" Sharon immediately agreed. "I will help as long as it is within my capability."
"Mmm, it's very simple..." Suddenly, Ariah's smile disappeared, and her glacial gaze swept across Jimmy in the living room. "Since you are the host, please help me chase him away. I don't want to see the man!"
That request rendered Sharon speechless.
Jimmy was watching TV with Sadie in his arms. She loved to watch cartoons, which were not his favorite, so he grabbed the remote control and switched to a variety show. As a result, she pouted as if she was going to burst into tears, but Jimmy didn't seem to notice that because he was still laughing happily. He even slapped his thighs while his body was trembling with joy, the emotions of which confused her, who then stopped crying.
Upon a brief sigh, Sharon walked over and took Sadie from Jimmy's embrace. Since her daughter seemed to have been frightened, she comforted her a little before asking her to look for Seamus in the room.
As Sharon turned her head, she was impressed by Jimmy's attractive facial features and his bright, dark hair. Clad in a cool, simple leather jacket, he didn't have the gloominess that shrouded Stanley. Instead, he looked much more easygoing and amiable.
"Jimmy," she said, following a cough.
Leaning on the sofa absent- mindedly, he switched to another channel as he felt that the variety show was a bit boring. When he heard her voice, he raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Did you argue with Ariah?"
Glancing at her, he forced a smile and replied, "What did she tell you again?"
Sharon was stunned by his response.
Why did he have such sharp eyesight? Did all policemen have this power? He had already guessed her underlying meaning, although she had not finished her words.
"N-No, she didn't say anything..."
"Don't lie to me. You two were muttering over there just now."
"Weren't you playing with Sadie?"
Although he seemed to be fooling around, he actually cared a lot about Ariah. Since it was hard to explain this to her, he sighed and said, "Be honest. What did she tell you?"
"A-Ariah mentioned that you kept pestering her and making fun of her, which was irritating, so she wanted you to go back. She said... she said that she didn't want to see you..."
