There was no way for him to deny the fact.
Ariah coughed out of uneasiness and explained, "It's not that I was afraid that you'd get irritated. It's just that I don't even know who the sender is. What if he's a pervert?"
A pervert?
Upon hearing her words, Jimmy looked even unhappier. "How do you know he's a pervert?"
"If he's not a pervert, why did he send flowers anonymously without even leaving a card? Why couldn't he just let me know his identity?" Ariah curled her lips as she imagined how the sender must be harboring some evil motives.
That rendered Jimmy speechless.
The blue veins on his forehead were bulging before he decided to go to bed.
Ariah was confounded by his reaction.
Did she say something wrong? Why did he look so gloomy?
Pursing her lips, she decided to turn off the lights before she slept.
Suddenly, she received a text message on her phone.
She turned her head and saw that Ricco had sent her a simple message, 'Remember to get the info from him.'
What info did Ricco want?
Why did he choose to send her a message now?
Ariah thus threw her phone aside and turned off the lights before lying down.
However, she still couldn't fall asleep after tossing around.
With a long sigh, she asked, "Jimmy, are you still awake?"
"Yes," he said calmly.
She then turned around and faced him. "I can't sleep. Let's have a chat."
He remained silent.
"You seem to be very busy in the past few days. You always left early and returned late every day. Was it because of Kevin's matters?"
Jimmy still didn't answer her.
Ariah was irked, "Hey, did you hear me?"
"Yes." There was only a curt reply from him.
"What did that mean?"
"I was dealing with the case of Kevin."
She was silent as she heard that.
Slowly, her eyes adapted to the darkness, and she was able to see his visage.
His facial features were alluring, especially his straight nose. Undoubtedly, the edges of his face accentuated his masculinity.
Ariah licked her lips and asked, "What will happen to Kevin? Will he be sentenced to capital punishment?"
What Kevin had done was utterly unforgivable.
Jimmy finally moved his body and opened his eyes. "I'll deal with the case well. Don't ask too much."
"Why can't I ask? I just want to know more about it."
Jimmy then turned his head to stare at her. As she blinked her eyes, she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Didn't you say you can't sleep?" He slowly moved toward her and suggested, "Exercises can help us fall asleep. Do you want to try it?"
What kind of suggestion was that?
Immediately, she reached out her hand and pressed it against his chest. "Don't touch me. I won't ask any questions now!"
Upon hearing that, Jimmy snorted, "Since you have woken me up, shouldn't you think of a way to accompany me now?' "What's wrong with you... Ouch!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Jimmy had got up and pressed her with his body, which caused her to scream.
"Hush. I won't harm you."
He covered her mouth with his hand as his eyes turned unfathomable. "If you scream, people will think that you are in danger."
"Mmm..."
His palm pressed against her mouth so tightly that she could not even make a sound.
Looking straight into her eyes, he interrogated her, "Who let you ask me about Kevin?"
Ariah stopped struggling instantly and widened her eyes in disbelief.
Seriously? How could he guess that?
Could he really see through her mind?
"Mmm..."
