Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 721

After handling the matters in the police station, Jimmy called Ariah before getting off work to ask her what she wanted for dinner, but all he heard was a robotic woman's voice informing him that the number he called was not available.

Staring at his phone for a while, Jimmy called her office's front desk. After a few beeps, her assistant answered the phone, "Hello, this is the counseling department..."

"Layla." Jimmy interrupted her. "It's me, Jimmy. Have you seen Ariah?"

Layla uttered, "Oh, hi, Jimmy. Anything I can help?" When Layla learned about Ariah's relationship with Jimmy, Jimmy left a strong impression on her. Hence, she could recognize Jimmy's voice as soon as he spoke.

"Yes, I'm looking for Ariah, but she turned off her phone. Can you please tell her that I'll pick her up from work later?"

"Oh, you didn't know? She went home in the afternoon."

Jimmy frowned and mumbled, "She did?"

The assistant added, "She looked rather pale at lunch, but she told me she was fine. Around 3 pm, she said that she didn't feel so well, so she went home."

"I see. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Jimmy hung up the phone and drove to Ariah's apartment, but she was not there either.

Where had she gone?

She was not in the living room nor the bedroom.

Jimmy stood in the empty bedroom, frowning.

At the Myers residence.

Dakota was surprised when Ariah suddenly said that she wanted to stay here for a few days, and she wondered if her daughter and Jimmy had a quarrel. In fact, she could tell that they were having some problems previously, but Ariah said that everything was fine.

Although she had been hiding it very well, she was obviously depressed every time she came home.

Before Ariah got married, she lived in a small room in the attic, which was actually quite uncomfortable and dusty.

Now that she was pregnant, she couldn't stay in that small room anymore.

Dakota tidied up a room for her. When Lindsey came home, she growled furiously, "I keep my clothes in that room. Why can you let her stay there?"

Dakota pulled Lindsey aside and assented to it, "Ariah wants to stay here for a few days, but she can't stay in the small room at the attic and there's no extra room at home. Listen to me, darling, put your clothes away for now. We'll restore the room after she leaves."

Lindsey sneered, "Give me a reason why should I do so.”

Then, she shook off Dakota's hand, and quickly Ariah held on to Dakota. "Mom, let me talk to her. I'm hungry. Can you make me something to eat please?"

Dakota nodded and went to the kitchen.

The moment she left, a faint smile appeared on Ariah's face. "My dear baby sister, do you want to know why you suddenly slapped yourself two days ago?"

Her smile brought goosebumps to Lindsey's arms. "What did you do to me?"

"I know some mystical power that you aren't aware of. Do you want to know how it feels again?"

Despite Ariah's innocent smile, Lindsey was horrified. She wondered why she would suddenly slap herself but she couldn't figure it out. Was it possible that Ariah knew some voodoo practices?
