Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 542

Ariah raised her eyebrows at Jimmy. "How could you trust the words of a drunkard?"

Jimmy said nothing.

"Those aren't real. I don't know why I said that. Don't mind me."

The words weren't real?

Jimmy snorted. He didn't believe her excuse.

If it wasn't real, then why was she being evasive and nervous right now?

If everything that she said was true, why didn't she dare to look him in the eye?

Jimmy had dealt with all sorts of criminals before. He was able to see through some of the most cunning and deceptive ones, not to mention Ariah. He just looked at her with narrowed eyes and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Ariah's heart was beating like a drum. She didn't know if he would believe what she said.

After all, he was smart and shrewd, so it was not easy to fool him.

For a moment, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

Just when Ariah couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to be frank with him, Jimmy said, "Don't drink so much next time, or you'll talk nonsense again."

Eh?

What was going on?

Was he going to let her off?

Ariah looked over in surprise, but Jimmy only sat down and continued eating his breakfast. He seemed to believe her excuse for now.

Of course, she was happy to see that.

So she nodded and promised, "Sure. I won't drink anymore. Don't worry."

Now that Jimmy had taken the initiative to ignore the matter, she would naturally follow the lead and let it pass.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she enjoyed the rest of the pasta at ease.

"By the way, where did you get that scar from?"

Suddenly, Jimmy shot her another question.

Ariah froze. "Huh?"

"You want me to repeat the question again?"

"No need. I heard you." However, Ariah felt really helpless. "Well... it's just a small scar that I got back when I was still studying."

Jimmy narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is that scar related to the rape you mentioned yesterday?"

Immediately, Ariah widened her eyes at him.

But Jimmy merely smiled and brushed it off casually, "I'm just guessing. Don't mind it. Anyway, hurry up and eat the pasta, or it will get cold."

"Okay..."

But how could she still have the mood to eat?

She did not want Jimmy to know about her past.

Because it was quite embarrassing.

After breakfast, Jimmy went to work. Although it was the weekend, there was something at work that he needed to deal with.

On the other hand, Ariah didn't have to go to work, so she just lay on the sofa and watched TV. Occasionally, she would curse Jimmy for making her feel sore all over her back due to the sex last night.

Suddenly, her phone rang and she answered it, "Hello?"

"Hey, Ariah, it's me," Emily chuckled. "Are you free now? Do you wanna hang out?"

"Sure, I've got nothing to do, anyway."

"Great. Since it's almost lunchtime, why don't we have lunch together?"

"No problem. I'll take you to have some delicious food."

After they had arranged a place, Ariah hung up the phone and went to change her clothes. But then she realized that her neck was covered with hickeys.
