Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 501

Since the last time Ricco forcibly took her away from home, he seemed to have changed into a completely different person, someone who Ariah could no longer recognize because he now seemed dangerous and unfathomable.

In fact, this kind of man would have his own purpose in everything he did. How could he fall in love with her?

At this moment, Ariah didn't believe Jimmy's words at all.

"Are these the food that you bought for me?" Pointed at the things on the table, Ariah asked.

"Yes," Nonchalantly. Jimmy answered with a deep gaze, and he didn't say anything else.

Although Ariah had no idea what he was thinking about, she shrugged her shoulders and went straight over and opened the bag because she was indeed a little hungry. When Ariah saw the food inside, she was stunned.

It was obviously a lunch box that was used for home- cooked food. Didn't he say that it was a takeout?

Meanwhile, Jimmy had his gaze fixated on Ariah all the time. Since the day he saved her, he realized that her attitude toward him had been obviously different. Although she was no longer cold and indifferent, she still somehow kept a distance from him.

When Ariah knew Jimmy was going to take Anna back from the hands of Kevin instead of her, she must have felt hurt and uncomfortable in her heart...

However, she did not show any expressions, and all her emotions were suppressed in her heart.

It was nice of her to be so generous, well-behaved, and sensible enough to not cause any trouble for men! Somehow, Jimmy felt very uncomfortable. It was like he was suppressing his anger and had nowhere to vent.

"I met Kevin eight years ago. He was a lunatic, and he was also a cruel murderer. This time, he came back to seek revenge on me, but you got involved in this matter, and I feel very sorry about that."

While Ariah was drinking the soup, she suddenly heard Jimmy suddenly saying those things to her.

Stunned for a moment, she then nodded and said, "Well, I understand. Before you arrived, I've asked Ricco about it. He said that you and Kevin used to know each other. Which was why, this time, Kevin came back and took me away as bait to make you see him."

Then, Jimmy took a step forward. "Kevin is the type who always picks on someone else's weaknesses. If I were to treat you well in front of him, he would hurt you even more. The fact that I said that I wanted to take Anna away was just an indirect message to him that you were not important to me, and what's important was Anna. That way, he would lose his interest in you snd he wouldn't hurt you either..."

When Ariah heard that, she calmly looked at him and nodded, "Yes, I know."

However, Jimmy was stunned by her response. How did she know about it? Besides, her tone was still so calm that he couldn't figure out what she was thinking!

Then, he remembered when Ariah was in the hands of Kevin, the way she looked at him when she heard him say that he wanted to take Anna away with him...

The look in her eyes was as if she was an abandoned lamb. Whenever he thought about it, he couldn't even calm himself down.

With the feeling of despair that she once had, could she still easily believe what he said?

Or was she hurt till the point where she no longer believed in his words? No matter what he said, she would not believe him so easily anymore...

Was that why she was so calm?

"Damn it!" In a low voice, Jimmy cursed. Immediately, he snatched the fork from her hand and looked at her with his dark eyes, "Ariah, if you think that I didn't choose to protect you in the first place, then I..."

"I know. You don't have to explain."

However, before Jimmy could finish his sentence, Ariah interrupted him, "Didn't you realize that I was just going along with your act when I was in Kevin's hands?"

That answer left Jimmy completely stunned...

"An a-act?"
