Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 674

Under Ariah's continuous pressure, David surrended.

"Well, so, the last two days, Jimmy was asking around whether the others had proposed to their wives and how they did it... So I think he was trying to get some references."

Though he couldn't voice it out directly, he tried to be subtle and twisted his words a little.

Moreover, he was also curious as to whether Jimmy's marriage proposal had succeeded or not.

As her hands slowed down while holding the hair dryer, Ariah typed in another reply, "Get references?"

Noticing that she still didn't get the hint, David said, "Yeah, he must be planning a marriage proposal, otherwise why would he ask us about these things?"

Seeing his reply, Ariah didn't what to say.

Now that she thought about it, she seemed to have asked Jimmy before to find out whether other men would force their fiance to register for marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau...

Did he really do as told?

The more she imagined, the more Ariah felt amused.

Following a ring, David's message came again, "Ariah, please don't tell Jimmy that I told you these. Otherwise, he'd feel embarrassed, then I wouldn't be able to get away tomorrow."

Smiling, Ariah replied, "Sure."

Switching off the hair dryer, Ariah turned to look at Jimmy who was still sitting on the couch. Clearing her throat, she asked, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"

Looking into her eyes, Jimmy questioned, "Who were you chatting with just now?"

"Uh, no one."

All of a sudden, Jimmy stood up and walked towards her. There was no expression on his face. Sensing that he might have been upset, Ariah hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Give me your phone."

"Hey..." Ariah didn't expect him to be so petty to the extent that he wanted to check her phone.

If he saw the messages, David would be done for.

"Alright, I'll tell you. Don't come over. It's Emily. I was just checking on her," Ariah quickly said.

As the words came out of her mouth, she secretly hid the phone behind her back.

Jimmy felt worse after listening to her explanation. "Are you chatting with Emily or with her brother?"

Hearing that, Ariah was dumbstrucked.

Was he thinking too much?

She was not close to Emily's brother at all, so why would she be chatting with him?

Could it be that he still minded what she had said in the car?

Amused, Ariah laughed, "It's true that her brother is very good-looking, and his blue eyes are also very charming, but dear Jimmy, he's not my type."

"What's your type then?"

"You, of course."

Jimmy paused.

How did this love confession come so suddenly?

Instantly, his upset look turned into something else.

In fact, Jimmy was at a loss for what to do. When facing evil criminals, he could handle them with ease no matter what kind of tricks they used. However, when he heard those sweet words coming from Ariah, he felt like a fool.

He was completely baffled, not knowing what to answer to Ariah's statement.

In all the years she had been with him, Ariah had never seen such a reaction from Jimmy before. She didn't expect such a cool-headed man to be so cute...

"Ehem," Ariah held back her laughter and scratched her head. "It's getting late, you should take a shower."

"Alright."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Jimmy nodded without hesitation and headed to the bathroom.

Seeing that, Ariah was a little taken aback.

When did he become so obedient?

After Jimmy came out of the shower, Ariah was no longer in the living room. He took out the ring box from his jacket and frowned. A trace of confusion flashed over his face. In the end, he tucked the ring back into his pocket.

He had never proposed before, so he had no idea how to do it.

Back in the bedroom, Ariah leaned against the headboard and read her book with a serious face.

Testing waters, Jimmy pretended to ask casually, "What are you reading?"

"A romance novel," Ariah didn't even raise her head.

He thought she was reading some kind of academic book.
