Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 361

Initially, Ariah had intended to take a good bath and go to bed after returning home. However, apart from her injury, she had also been wronged. That made her sigh in the bathroom while putting on her clothes.

In the corridor, a tall man stood with one leg propped against the wall. One of his hands was holding a cigarette, while the other was inserted in his pocket. He was smoking with his head lowered, and it seemed that he was preoccupied with something in his mind as he didn't notice her when she came out.

That made her frown.

He had smoked two cigarettes in a short period of time.

She knew he liked smoking, but she didn't know that he smoked so intensely.

Because of the odor of cigarettes, she coughed uncomfortably.

In the past, he would stop smoking once she coughed, which was a gentlemanly and considerate act.

"Ahem Ahem."

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the odor drifted into her nostrils and made her cough uncontrollably.

Jimmy quickly came to his senses and took a look at the cigarette in his hand. As he seemed to think of something, he whispered an apology before snuffing out out the cigarette.

"I was also smoking when I bandaged your wound, but why didn't you cough just now?"

How should Ariah answer that? Since he was too close to her at that time, did her rosy imagination make her forget the odor?

If she said that in all honesty, he would definitely make fun of her.

For this reason, she didn't reply to him and turned around to go back to her bedroom.

However, Jimmy quickly blocked her way and stared at her, whom he hugged in his arms. "Let's have a talk, Ariah."

Why was he so serious about the discussion?

As she grinned, she crossed her arms and asked, "Mmm, what do you want to talk about?"

Jimmy opened his mouth, but he could utter nothing. He thought she would get so angry that she would not want to talk to him, but she was so calm when she asked him the question.

"When did you find out the relationship between Anna and me?"

The question shocked him as this had been his worry for quite some time.

"Half a year after Stanley's disappearance, I saw you hugging that woman in the hospital."

Jimmy's face froze. It turned out that she had noticed him so early in the morning. Then, why did she keep quiet as if nothing had happened? When he came home, she still treated him as usual, and she would even let him touch her. She didn't look like a woman who had caught her husband having an affair with someone else.

She chose to ignore this issue until Anna showed her the explicit photo, which infuriated her and forced her to confront this inevitable outcome.

Suddenly, he held her face tightly, and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. One word at a time, he asked, "If I could deal with the problem, will you... still stay with me?"

"Sure." She nodded.

Stunned, he was overcome by ecstasy. He couldn't help reaching out to hold her in his arms and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry, my dear. I swear that I will be good to you in the future..."

Nonetheless, before he could finish his sentence, Ariah had responded stolidly, "As long as you don't mind that I have an affair with another man, I won't mind what happened between you and that woman."
