However, Ricco was strong, and he was tall as a mountain. Even when Ariah used all her strength, she still couldn't break free. An unfamiliar male aura surrounded her, making her anxious and angry.
"I was just trying to be nice when I invited you to come in and have a seat, but you just had to f*cking take advantage of me, right?" Ariah anxiously yelled, "Ricco, get lost!"
Meanwhile, Ricco smiled and narrowed his eyes at the struggling woman, "Why are you screaming? Did I take advantage of you? I didn't even touch a single hair of yours."
What he said was true. Indeed, he did not touch her. Instead, he hovered his body over hers and forced her onto the couch. If she moved for even a bit, she would've definitely touched him by accident.
The moment Ariah sensed that he had no intention to do anything to her, she instantly calmed down.
Then, she took a deep breath and frowned. "What are you trying to do?"
"I'm helping you."
"You're trying to help me?"
"That's right."
"Help me with what?"
At that moment, Ricco stared at her with his brown eyes, and a weird expression flashed across it. "Don't you want to divorce your husband? I can help you with that. Any man who sees his woman having an affair with another man will definitely not be able to withstand the blow. Besides, you saw his reaction last time, and he almost killed me. In the hospital, the moment I mentioned your name, he instantly went berserk and wanted to kill me. What do you think would happen if he knew you are dating me? His best option would be to divorce you in a fit of anger..."
In shock, Ariah stared at him. It took her a long time before she spoke, "You... Why do you want to do that?"
"I've said it. I'm trying to help you."
"Then why are you trying to help me?"
They were strangers who met by chance, and they had only known each other for less than a month. Why did he want to help her? It was a question that Ariah couldn't understand.
Meanwhile, Ricco stared at her small and delicate nose and answered casually, "Of course, I also have my own selfish motives."
"What do you want?" Sure enough, he had his own axe to grind.
"You." As Ricco stared straight at her, he answered.
Dumbfounded, Ariah asked, "Me? What do you mean?"
"As long as you divorce your husband, I can pursue you publicly, right?"
"Pft..."
When Ariah heard his question, she laughed and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have feelings for me?"
"Why can't I have feelings for you? You are beautiful, and you have an amazing body. Besides, you're my type, so it's normal for me to have a crush on you."
"I'm sorry." However, Ariah's beautiful eyes curved into a smile as she said, "Thank you for having a crush on me, but I don't like you."
At that moment, Ariah's eyes were exceptionally beautiful. Especially when she smiled, they were bright and charming. At first, Ricco just wanted to tease her, but the more he stared at it, he couldn't help but feel a little star-struck.
"Hello?" Meanwhile, Ariah raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "Although I really want to divorce Jimmy, I won't use any other man to provoke him because it will not be good for him, and it's not fair for you either." After a pause, she continued, "Also, it's fine if you really do have feelings for me. It's just that you have to wait until I get a divorce, then only you can pursue me publicly. Perhaps by the time I heal from my heartbreak, I can try to date you."
At that moment, Ricco was stunned as he stared at her with his dark brown eyes, which flashed with interest. The expression he had seemed as if it was the first day he got to know her.
"Don't stare at me like that. It's creepy." Instantly, Ariah rubbed her shoulders and glared at him, "Get up, now or I will really think you're taking advantage of me!"
However, Ricco's mouth curved into a smile, but he didn't budge.
By now, Ariah was really a little irritated. Anyone who was in such close contact with an unfamiliar man would've felt uncomfortable. After a moment, she frowned, and she was about to take action against him.
However, Ricco, who had been hanging on her, suddenly got up and left.
In the meantime, she heard movements from the hallway. When she looked over in shock, she saw Jimmy standing there, emotionless. Under the cold light, his facial features were abnormally stern, and his lips tightly pursed.
