Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 546

In the shopping mall-

Ariah accompanied Emily to buy a few sets of winter clothes before enjoining her like a big sister, "Stop wearing that little anymore. When you get sick, you're the one who's suffering."

"Aw, Ariah. You're the best." Emily hugged her tight. "My mom never cares about how I dress. You're the only one who would say that. Anyway, I only dress sexily because Kobi likes to see me dressing this way."

Hearing that, Ariah was surprised. She didn't expect Kobi to be a wild one inside.

Clearing her throat, she then advised, "Emily, you have to think for yourself. You don't have to do everything according to his preferences."

Emily nodded along. "Yep, you're right."

Ariah smiled, and when she saw the bruises on Emily's neck, she sighed again. "I'm guessing that there's a lot more of that on your body too, right?" "Well, it's just light bruises..."

Emily was afraid that she would blame Kobi, so she couldn't help but speak for him, "He's also very regretful after doing that."

"I know you'll defend him."

Therefore, Ariah didn't say anything further.

"I'm not defending him. It's just that he never did this before and I know that he's not a person with issues."

People made mistakes. Kobi happened to be in a bad mood so he hurt her a little. She believed that he would never do this again in the future.

Meanwhile, Ariah nodded along as she knew that Kobi was a good man.

However, he shouldn't have vented his anger on Emily. It was unacceptable.

What was even uncomfortable was that he vented his frustration through sex.

Only a psychopath would treat a woman like that.

Before her mind drifted further away, her phone abruptly rang. She took it out and saw that it was her mother, Dakota Myers.

Usually, her mother wouldn't look for her, so Ariah quickly picked up the phone, afraid that something had happened to her. "Hey, mom, why did you call me all of a sudden? What happened?"

"Ariah, where are you?"

Dakota sounded a little anxious.

"What's going on?" Ariah furrowed her brows. "I'm in the mall at the moment." Dakota could only say, "Can you come back as soon as possible? Something happened and we need you to be back."

Immediately, Ariah's face grew serious as she asked, "Did dad hit you again?"

Back then when she was still in middle school, Felix used to beat Dakota up and she would just go and confront Felix right away, which would scare him a little.

This was also why Felix didn't quite like her.

No one would like a daughter who was hard to control.

"No, no, your dad didn't hit me," Dakota quickly clarified. "Anyway, would you come back first? You'll know when you come home."

Getting her reply, Ariah finally calmed down. "Okay, I'll come back right away."

On the other hand, Emily noted the strange look on her face and was a little worried. "What happened?"

"Nothing. It's just that I have to go back home now to deal with something. Will you... be okay to go back to the Hudson's on your own?" Ariah put her phone back into her handbag.

Emily shook her head. "Nah, I don't wanna go back yet. It's boring. Can I come with you please? I wanna see your parents. They must be rather excellent to raise a daughter like you."

Ariah did not know what to say.

She just smiled bitterly. If Emily were to see her parents, she would definitely be disappointed.
