Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 537

Lowering her head, Ariah was searching for the contact in one of Kobi's eyes. Soon, she spotted the contact that was shifted out of place and wanted to take it out for him.

But then, Kobi blinked his eyes and the contact was gone again.

Instantly, Ariah complained, "Hey, don't blink!"

Kobi cleared his throat, apologizing, "Oops, sorry. I couldn't help blinking."

It was an instinctive response.

Nevertheless, Ariah just continued lowering her head, searching for the contact. When her long hair swept across Kobi's cheeks, he felt a little itchy.

Unable to help himself, Kobi's gaze landed on her. She looked very focused. Her red lips were slightly parted and there was the taste of milk tea to her breath which felt hot against his cheeks.

Then, without realizing it, he took a deep breath of her scent.

"Found it!"

Just then, Ariah found the contact and stuck it out with her fingertip.

"This thing could be a little bad for your eyes. Perhaps you should consider wearing glasses in the future," said Ariah as she threw the contact into the bin.

"Okay, will do." Kobi smiled. After the contact was removed, his eye was a little red.

Ariah didn't expect him to listen to her. With a brief pause, she suggested, "Um... do you wanna go to the hospital first? It looks like your eye is a little irritated."

"Nah, I'm good." Kobi didn't seem to care. "I can send you home first, then go to the hospital."

"No, I can take a taxi back."

"Well, I insist."

"There's really no need for that..."

"Of course, there's a need for that. As a man, I should always make sure my date returns home safely. Besides, the car is just downstairs..."

A date?

They were just meeting. How was this a date?

Ariah wanted to refute him but didn't know what to say. He might have just said it casually and she could be overthinking.

Since he had been living abroad all these years, this could be one of the manners that he learned. Thinking of this, Ariah had no choice but to

compromise.

While waiting for the green light, Kobi hesitated for a moment before asking, "My mother said that you and Jimmy had a divorce. What happened?"

Last night, Ella wasn't being nice to Ariah at all. He wanted to ask, but he didn't want to make it too obvious, so he waited until now.

"Ah... there were some misunderstandings between Jimmy and me before."

Instantly, Kobi's gaze deepened. "So you guys really divorced?"

"Um..."

"But judging by Jimmy's attitude yesterday, I think you two are gonna get back together?"

"Well..."

"Yeah?"

Ariah frowned slightly. Kobi seemed to be paying too much attention to this.

She remained silent, to which Kobi shot her a glance, seemingly to know what she was thinking. With a chuckle, he asked, "Am I annoying you?"

Quickly, she denied, "Nah, it's just..."

"I'm just concerned about you, Ariah." Kobi cut her off. "If you think it's annoying, just pretend that I never asked that."

Ariah bit her lips. She knew that she must be overthinking again.
