Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 497

Jimmy froze and his face darkened. Seizing Ariah's chin, he asked with his teeth gritted, "Are you avoiding me?"

He thought that his smell was too strong that she felt uncomfortable. "I haven't been able to take a bath because of staying here with you the whole night. How could you avoid me because of this?"

However, despite knowing that he had misunderstood, Ariah didn't bother to explain. She merely snorted. "Well, it's not like I begged you to keep watch here..."

"You..."

Taking a deep breath, Jimmy suppressed his emotions. "Alright, enough. Don't try to change the subject. Tell me what's going on."

Ariah glanced at him and said slowly after a long pause, "Well, I know a little hypnotism too, so Kevin didn't manage to hypnotize me. I was just acting along with him and took the opportunity to stab him in the leg."

"You know hypnotism?" Jimmy frowned. "Why you never mentioned it before?"

"Well, what's there to talk about?" Ariah felt that he was just making a big fuss.

Jimmy was speechless.

"Hey, keep your distance!" repeated Ariah again.

Hearing that, Jimmy was annoyed and he glanced coldly at her, then dashed into the bathroom. Ariah was dumbfounded. What was he doing?

Soon, she heard the sound of showering coming from the bathroom...

Did Jimmy just go in to bathe?

What was wrong with him?

Coming out of the bathroom, Jimmy heard a knock on the door and went to open the door. It was Edward who came to deliver their meals. When Edward saw Jimmy's wet hair, he was surprised. "Capt., why are you wet?"

"Ah, I just took a shower." Jimmy grabbed the food from his hands.

"Huh? Why are you showering during the day?"

Jimmy didn't want to just tell him he had taken a bath because Ariah was disgusted with his smell. It would be embarrassing.

"Nothing." Jimmy pushed him out. "Don't forget to bring the dinner on time."

"Wait!" Edward held the door. "Capt., this morning when I went back to work, the kidnapper is being guarded as a first-class criminal whereas Ricco is treated with respect by Director Sherlock! Who is that Ricco though?"

Hearing that, Jimmy merely replied casually, "Ricco is a capable man. What's wrong with Director Sherlock treating him with courtesy?"

Edward widened his eyes in surprise. Jimmy was actually not angry?

"Capt., Ricco has second thoughts on your wife. Why are you on his side now?"

Instantly, Jimmy's face darkened. "Stop talking nonsense! Now, get out of here!"

The door slammed shut before Edward's nose, and he knew he must have annoyed Jimmy.

After all, any man would feel uncomfortable when they heard others were having second thoughts about their wife.

Meanwhile, sitting on the hospital bed, Ariah had heard their conversation. Looking at Jimmy, who had a gloomy expression, she asked, "Did Kevin really get caught?"

"Yes." Jimmy responded indifferently.

"What feud does Ricco have against Kevin?"

"I don't know."

"Then, why would he go with you to catch Kevin?"
