Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 549

When the car left the Myers' place, Ariah suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Jimmy, "By the way, how come you're at my home?"

Lindsey said that he was looking for her teddy bear, but Ariah never asked him to look for anything. It was obvious that Jimmy was lying.

He must have something secret going on.

Meanwhile, Jimmy drove steadily and replied, "I'm here to see your father. It's something between men."

Ariah didn't believe it. "If you're just looking for my father, then why do you have things to do with Lindsey?"

"You still mind about me talking to Lindsey?" Jimmy glanced at her with a faint smile.

"No, I'm not..."

If she had mind about it, she wouldn't have stood on his side just now.

Hearing that, he casually said, "Really? Then why are you so concerned about me going to your home?"

"Of course, I'm concerned because I didn't know what you were up to..."

"Well, I told you already. I was there to see your father."

Ariah was choked at his words.

Oh well, they were now back to where they started.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to get an answer out of him, Ariah was a little upset and turned to look out of the window. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned back suspiciously. "Jimmy, are you trying to avoid answering my question?"

"Nah, you're overthinking." However, inside, Jimmy was glad that Ariah was clever enough to tell that he was shifting her attention.

Ariah was speechless.

She knew that Jimmy wouldn't answer anything if he didn't want to, so she gave up on it.

"Well, since you don't wanna tell me why you went to my home, at least you could tell me how you got entangled with Lindsey, right?"

The servants said that they were led upstairs by Lindsey's scream, which meant that Jimmy was alone with Lindsey before that.

"Oh, that. She wanted to seduce me." Jimmy told the truth. "After I rejected her, she got enraged, so she tried to frame me."

Hearing that, Ariah snorted. Lindsey had always competed with her since they were kids, and now she even tried to steal Jimmy away!

"Tsk, I bet she's regretting that she had turned down to marry you back then." Thinking of how regretful Lindsey must be, Ariah felt a sense of joy.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes slightly. "You wish I had married her instead?"

With a nod, Ariah replied, "Yep, better for her to marry you... Um, what I mean is that I hardly knew you back then."

Halfway through her sentence, Ariah realized something was wrong and quickly fixed it. "You were quite mysterious at that time. There's little news about you. Besides, what our fathers really wanted was for Lindsey to marry you."

Hearing her explanation, Jimmy still looked sullen.

Oh man, she was making things worse.

Meanwhile, Jimmy sneered silently. He knew that back then, Ariah probably wanted to marry the man who saved her instead of him.

"Why did you agree to marry me eventually?" Jimmy suddenly asked.

Ariah looked at him and hesitated.

"Go ahead. I won't get angry."

"Alright, you said that."

"Yep."

"Well, my mom had always been treated unimportantly in the Myers Family and even the servants wouldn't take her seriously. And back then, Lindsey wasn't willing to marry you because she had a boyfriend already and they were really in love. My father couldn't force her, so he turned his attention to me. And I agreed, but in exchange, I asked him to treat my mom better."

The reason was just as simple as that.

Jimmy took a deep look at her.

Sensing his gaze, Ariah quickly reminded, "You've agreed not to get angry."

"I'm not angry." Jimmy looked away. "I just didn't expect you to be a loving daughter."

"I've always been a loving daughter, okay?"
