Jimmy looked at Ariah standing outside the door, and his head was in a mess. He opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.
Why was Ariah here?
Then, Anna's sharp voice was heard behind him. "Jimmy, stop ..."
Immediately, Ariah wanted to look behind him. However, if she saw Anna was naked, it would be hard for him to clear himself.
He gritted his teeth and made a prompt decision to close the door while his ice-cold gaze swept towards Anna, which stunned her to the spot.
"Go back!"
He scolded in a low voice. At the same time, he closed the door, wanting to block Ariah's line of sight.
Nevertheless, before the door could be shut, Ariah stopped him and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Then, she pushed him aside and opened the door forcefully, wanting to see what was going on inside.
She had been sitting by the door for the entire night, and her body was so cold that she couldn't feel anything.
Last night was the longest night in her life. When she was sitting outside, she had been speculating about what Jimmy was doing with Anna inside. She tried to convince herself that he was drunk and he wouldn't be able to do anything with Anna.
She told herself over and over again that she shouldn't let her imagination run wild.
However, it turned out that she was wrong.
When Jimmy opened the door, she clearly saw him panic a little.
"What are you afraid of?" Ariah looked at him squarely.
There was a trace of pain on Jimmy's face. "Ariah, let's go out and I'll explain it to you."
"Why do you want to go out? Is there something that you don't want me to see?" Ariah was exceptionally calm now. "Jimmy Hudson, get out of the way!"
"No, listen to me. Let's go out first..."
Suddenly, Ariah reproached, "Jimmy, for the last time, get out of the way! Where's Anna? I wanna see her!"
Jimmy just pursed his lips and stood by the door, not letting her in at all. So naturally, Ariah was blocked outside the door.
She stared at him in disbelief. "Are you trying to protect her?"
Jimmy shook his head. He wasn't protecting Anna. Like before, he insisted, "Let's go out first..."
"Jimmy, do you know that I've been waiting outside here the whole night? I've been convincing myself that nothing happened between you two. Although I don't wanna admit it, I still trusted you. I believed that you won't be such a b*stard!"
Ariah swore that this was the last time she would cry in front of him. From now on, she would never allow this man to hurt her again.
"But the reality is that you've betrayed my trust again and again!"
The last time when Anna showed her the photos, her heart was already broken by him. This time, she even saw it with her own eyes...
Once again, he had made her feel heartbroken!
Meanwhile, Jimmy's face turned pale when he heard she had been waiting for him outside the whole night. He tried to explain, but he couldn't.
How should he explain it? He actually betrayed her this time!
