Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 471

A wave of pain came from the back of Ariah's hand after she was pushed by Jimmy. Rubbing the back of her hand, she took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"What's wrong with you?"

She tried to suppress her anger.

Without answering her, he sat on the couch and started smoking.

That irked Ariah, for she would never be able to tolerate the behaviors of the moody man.

"Stop smoking!"

As rage surged through her, she strode forward and took the cigarette from his hand. After throwing it aside, she said, "Are you still angry because of what happened yesterday? You're simply too ridiculous. Is there a need to be angry because of a small matter from a few years ago? Do you want to know who the man is? Alright, I'll tell you, you know that man!" She was so angry that her chest was heaving she yelled at him.

With a frown, he asked, "Really? Do I know him?"

Pursing her lips, she started recalling the past, especially the man whom Jimmy also knew.

It was just that she had kept it in her heart all this time and did not tell Jimmy about it.

"Could it be Stanley?" Jimmy scratched his hair. "Is it true that you liked him before? Stanley's a melancholic person. What on earth do you like about him?"

"Who said it was Stanley?"

Some gossipers spread the rumor that Ariah used to like Stanley. However, that was merely her affection for Stanley; it was not the kind of love between a man and a woman.

Jimmy curled up the corners of his mouth as he wanted to utter, in the end. Instead, he only lowered his head and sighed.

Ariah thus raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Since he had not lifted his head, she could not see his expression while he was scratching his hair. Standing on the side, she could sense some sort of emotion from him.

Apparently, he was thinking about something that troubled him very much.

What was it that perturbed him?

While she looked at him in a daze, he suddenly made a move. Looking up at her, he asked, "Have you taken your breakfast?"

"I haven't finished it."

"Let's go. I'll eat with you. I'm hungry now."

After hearing that, she pursed her lips and followed him in silence.

The two of them ate in silence, which was something unusual, for Jimmy always ate as fast as he could. However, he was extremely slow today as if this was his last meal, which he cherished very much.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she forced herself to swallow her words.

Half an hour later, the two of them slowly finished their simple breakfast. When she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, he said, "Let me do it."

Ariah was shocked.

This was the first time Jimmy had offered to help her since they got married.

Jimmy was somewhat a misogynist, and he never liked to do help her with the house chores. He was even more disdainful of doing these things when they first got married. It was after being scolded by Ariah that he stepped into the kitchen unwillingly.

Nevertheless, he had never taken the initiative to help her, like what he did today.

Ariah silently watched his back as he walked into the kitchen. She was trying to guess what happened to him.

Ten minutes later, Jimmy came out of the kitchen and wiped his hands. "I'll take you to a place."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there. Get changed first."
