As Jimmy's frivolous expression faded from his face, his eyes became serious. A moment later, he nodded and said, "We still kept in touch with each other."
Ariah's fingers trembled slightly when she heard that. "You still kept in touch with her?"
"Yes."
Following a nod, she asked again, "Did she know you're married?"
Jimmy raised his eyebrows. "Why would..."
"Did she know that?" Ariah glared at him while repeating her question.
Touching his nose, Jimmy replied, "Yes, she knew it."
"She's just a b*tch!"
Shocked, he asked again, "What did you say just now?"
Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Did you feel bad just because I cursed her? If she wasn't a b*tch, then what was she? She knew you're married, yet she still kept in touch with you. That's intolerable!"
"Hey, didn't you say that you won't get angry? If you still act like this, we won't be able to continue
this conversation!"
Taking a deep breath, Ariah suppressed her anger and said, "The last question."
"Go ahead."
"From the time Anna sent those disgusting photos to me, did you still sleep with her?"
Such a direct way of asking startled him. "W-What did you just ask??"
"Don't you dare to confront it?"
"No!" Jimmy immediately denied it after hearing the provocative question. "1-1 have never slept with her. Would you believe this answer?"
Stunned, she responded, "Are you kidding me? The evidence was already laid before me. If I still trust you, I'll literally be a fool. Forget it, I'm telling you all this today not because I wanted to settle the scores with you. I just want to know whether you still did the dirty deed with her... I'll believe you if you insisted that you didn't do that."
In an innocent manner, Jimmy said, "I was honest."
Looking up at him, she replied, "Okay, let's get together again. I don't want a divorce anymore."
He coughed a few times upon hearing that.
As shock spread through his body, his eyes widened in surprise. "What did you just say?"
"Let bygones be bygones. We live together again. I don't want a divorce anymore."
"Are you serious..." he mumbled.
She had not only obsessed with cleanliness, but she also would not tolerate an imperfect relationship. Therefore, he was shocked when she heard what she had just uttered.
"I have thought it through. Life is too short. Instead of wasting my time and arguing with you, I might as well just turn a blind eye to it. I can't guarantee that if I divorce you, the next man in my life will definitely be better than you."
