Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 387

"But... he had never done anything to hurt me. In fact, he saved me the first time I met him." At that moment, Ariah didn't know why Jimmy resisted Ricco so much. "He might have a very complicated background, or maybe he did do some shady things, but it's a fact that he once saved my life."

At this point, Jimmy's face turned dark again. When Ariah realized he was about to get angry, she decided not to provoke him any further as she was afraid that he might go back on his words.

So she immediately changed the topic and said softly, "But I'll listen to your advice, and I'll try to stay as far as I could from him. After all, we're just acquaintances."

Only now did Jimmy's expression become much more relaxed.

"Let's go then." After that, Ariah opened the door and got out.

Meanwhile, Jimmy sat in the car and stared at her figure for a moment. There was a flash of gloom in his eyes. In the end, he closed his eyes as a sign of defeat, took out his documents, and went down with her.

Both of them were shocked when they arrived at the divorce registration office. There seemed to be many couples who wanted a divorce today.

It made Ariah a little speechless. Was getting a divorce a trend now?

However, Jimmy was expressionless. Among the crowd, he was the tallest, and his strong figure made appearance seemed outstanding. Although he was casually standing there, his temperament was unparalleled.

In a daze, Ariah stared at him. As a woman, she was still attracted by his charming temperament, although they were about to divorce.

But it was just a little indulgence that she had because, after the affair that he had, her feelings for him had gradually faded.

If he didn't cheat on her, she would've stayed by his side till the end of her life.

However, these were all the thoughts that she had in the past.

Since he had already let her down, there was no reason for her to be reluctant to leave.

After they filled out the application forms, the two began to line up. There were too many people, and the long line went up to the corridor.

Silently, Ariah stood there as she thought to herself how long they would have to wait since there was such a long queue.

Meanwhile, Jimmy, who was right behind her, didn't say a single word from the moment he entered. Instead, he stared straight at Ariah with a burning gaze. There were a few times when Ariah accidentally met his gaze, but she didn't even dare to look at him right in the eye.

Things got even worse when it was lunch break after they have waited for a long time, and there was only one staff member who was on duty by then.

In the end, those staff actually went out for lunch, and their half an hour of waiting had gone to waste.

It left Ariah with nothing to say.

In fact, she wanted to swear!

However, Jimmy said nonchalantly, "Why are you standing there like a fool? Come here and have a seat."

Then, he pulled her to one side as the two of them sat there awkwardly and waited for their turn.

As time passed, Ariah had no idea why she was getting more annoyed. Despite that, Jimmy seemed to be laid back, and he even had a relaxed expression on his face.

Finally, Ariah couldn't hold it in any longer as she lowered her voice and said, "Hey, can't you use your identity as an officer to get us through any shortcuts?"

Surprised, Jimmy looked at her and asked, "A shortcut? What shortcut do you mean?"

"I mean, your department is somehow related to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so I'm sure you can ask someone else to help us find a way and let the staff first complete our divorce procedure, right? What do you think?"

Otherwise, if they were to continue to wait like this, when would they be able to get it done and over with?

When Jimmy heard her words, he snorted and said, "You're thinking too much. We are completely two different departments, and we're not even related!!"
