Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 44

Ariah became serious when it came to her profession. "Ask away."

"Anthony has recently met a girl, and he has always been unable to control his emotions in front of her. He is a very capable person, and very excellent in self-control, but when it comes to the girl, it all goes out the window."

After a pause, Stanley added, "Anthony was too shy to ask you, so he begged me to ask you on his behalf."

Without a doubt, Ariah answered seriously, "It's very simple. He likes the girl."

"There's the problem. He told me clearly that he won't like the girl!"

Ariah said directly, "Why is he so sure? The love between a man and a woman is not something that he can control. If he likes her, then he likes her. What do you mean by 'he won't like the girl'?"

Stanley was stunned.

Ariah immediately raised her eyebrows. "Is it that he won't like the girl, or that he doesn't want to like the girl?"

After a long while, he said in a low voice,

"Maybe... it's the latter."

"He doesn't want to like that girl? But why? Is it because she is too ugly, or is it because he brainwashed himself that he can't fall in love with her?"

For his 30 years of life, this was the first time Stanley was dumbfounded by such a simple question.

Since Ariah didn't get any response from the other end of the line, she slowly came to her senses and asked doubtfully, "Hey, is it Anthony's problem or yours?"

"Beep..."

The call was cut off abruptly.

Ariah's face twisted in a frustrating grimace, wondering when could Stanley change his habit of hanging up the phone so abruptly and rudely.

Seeing her grimace, Jimmy leaned his sturdy body over, pulled her into his arms, rubbed her hand against her cheek, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Does Stanley have someone he likes?"

Ariah asked skeptically as she thought about the question he had asked on the phone just now

Jimmy laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you that your crush, Stanley was married a long time ago."

"So you should ditch all those hopeless romantic thoughts you had on that fellow as soon as possible, woman!" he thought to himself.

Ariah was stunned. "He... is married?"

"Yes. Why? Are you sad because he is married?"

Ariah slapped him and said, "Are you jealous again?"

Jimmy frowned after he was slapped and glared at her. "How dare you attack the police! I'll detain you!"

Smiling charmingly, Ariah licked her lips, looking seductive and flirtatious. "Okay, officer. I'm a bad girl. Arrest me quickly."

Jimmy was triggered sexually by her teasing. His Adam's apple bobbed and the flames of lust burst out from his eyes. "You're teasing me, huh? Just you wait, don't cry in bed tonight!"

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Stop that. I'm in a serious business here. Why did Stanley suddenly get married? When was it? Did he get married in secret?"

"Yes, he got married in secret about a year ago with an ordinary young lady from a poor family."

Lifting Ariah's chin, Jimmy kissed her and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't cook. I want to eat you!"

Ariah blushed. While avoiding the man's intimate kisses, she said, "Did you forget how miserable and pitiful he was in the year when Rebecca had an accident? That incident gave him a huge blow. I thought he would never marry another woman in his life. Besides, the incident had caused some psychological trauma in him. Time could cure physical wounds, but psychological trauma is the most difficult to cure that it will keep lurking in his mind. He may seem fine, but in reality, it can cause quite a serious problem to his mental state."
