Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 617

Being pinched, Jimmy soon felt the pain and muttered that Ariah was being too aggressive.

But she didn't care.

Because just now, he had said those ambiguous words in front of his father!

It was just so inappropriate!

Shooting him a glare, she shook off his hand and walked away with large strides. However, just as she opened the front door, someone walked in and she almost bumped into the person.

"Watch out!"

Kobi wanted to stabilize her.

But before he could do that, Ariah was held into Jimmy's embrace.

"Need not to worry. I'll take care of her." Jimmy pulled her closer into his arms and looked at Kobi.

Seeing that, Kobi smiled faintly and changed the topic. "Are you guys going back now?"

Just then, Mack's voice came from behind. "I told them to stay overnight, but they insisted on going back." "It's understandable since this is far from where they go to work." Kobi then gave ways to them. "Be careful on the way back."

Jimmy then took Ariah out, but suddenly, she thought of something and stopped. "Wait."

With a frown, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ariah looked towards Kobi and questioned, "Why are you still outside? Didn't you come in already when I went to look for Jimmy?"

She was getting suspicious at Kobi.

Nevertheless, Kobi replied with composure, "Oh, I went out to answer a phone call. Why? I can't be outside?"

"Of course you can."

Saying that, she remained staring at him, trying to observe his slightest change of expression, but there was nothing.

His eyes were calm and free of guilt.

If he really did try to hypnotize Jimmy earlier, he would have been scared by her pressing gaze now.

However, he showed no fear and was even getting curious at her gaze.

Just as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Jimmy pulled her over and whispered, "Ariah."

He gave her a look, asking her not to act rashly.

So she had no choice but to suppress her urge to interrogate, and she changed the subject. "Where's Emily, by the way?"

Mack was also curious. "I seem to have seen her go out. Kobi, did you see her outside?"

Hearing that, Kobi shook his head. "No, I didn't see her. Perhaps she has gone back to her room already?"

"Maybe. Go up and have a look. Just now, she seemed to be in a bad mood though."

"Alright, then I'll go up first."

"Sure."

Mack watched Kobi go upstairs.

"Dad, you and Mom should rest soon. We're leaving now." Saying that, Jimmy took Ariah with him and left.

Outside, Ariah asked, "Why did you stop me from questioning Kobi just now?"

Rather than trying to guess Kobi's motive, it was better to ask him face to face.

"Well, we don't wanna alert him if he really wants to do something." Jimmy then raised his chin at her seat belt and said, "Put on your seat belt."

"Okay."

Quickly, Ariah fastened her seat belt while Jimmy started the car and continued, "Let's wait for a while and see what he's up to." "What if he hypnotizes you and tries to harm you in the meantime?" She was worried.

"Haha, what can he do to me?" Jimmy laughed. "Don't worry. He won't just kill me. Although the two of us have some dispute, he's still my brother after all."

Thinking about it, Ariah agreed.

"What's more, isn't there a professional beside me?" Jimmy glanced at her with a faint smile. "With you as my teacher, I could at least learn how to not get hypnotized."

"Ahem, you must be joking!" She was startled.
