Of course, Jimmy was here to see Ariah who ran away from home.
When he returned home and realized that Ariah was not around, he remembered Ariah telling him that she would return to the Myers residence. He had thought that she was joking but it was the contrary.
Coincidentally, as soon as he came over, he saw that Felix was going to beat them.
That old coot was so pompous. If it weren't for Ariah, Felix and his lousy company would have gone bankrupt.
The reason why he had so many business partners now was because of his connection with the Hudson Family. If Jimmy had a fallout with him, his business partners would definitely cut ties with him immediately.
Felix understood this fact very clearly, so for the sake of his welfare, he blurted before going upstairs, "Entertain him."
Jimmy fixed his eyes on Ariah sitting on the couch, but she ignored him completely and watched TV instead.
Truthfully, she was surprised to see him here at first, but now, she had returned to her calm self.
Jimmy gritted his teeth. Why didn't he realize she was this stubborn before?
On the other hand, Dakota was secretly observing them. She saw that Ariah was obviously ignoring Jimmy while he stared at her with an inscrutable glance.
Frowning, Dakota knew that there must be something going on between them.
"Jimmy, I have something to say to you. Come with me," she said with a gloomy expression.
Only then did Jimmy retract his gaze and follow Dokato outside.
Once they left, Ariah felt an urge to eavesdrop out of curiosity, but on second thought, she smirked at her own foolish idea.
What could they possibly talk about anyway?
Biting her lips, she returned to her room silently.
Dakota called Jimmy to the garden, but instead of speaking, she locked her sharp gaze at him as if she was interrogating him with her eyes.
He looked back at her curiously. If his interpretation was correct, there was a hint of dissatisfaction and hostility in Dakota's glare.
"Mom, just say what you want to say." Jimmy asked directly as she couldn't figure out what was on Dakota's mind, "Did Ariah say something to you that made you misunderstand me?"
Every time he visited her, she would treat him with courtesy and kindness as if he was her own son.
However, the way she looked at him now was a little like she was looking at her enemy.
"Why did you make Ariah angry?"
Sure enough, Ariah must have told her that he disappeared for a month, and that was why Dakota disgruntled him.
With his lips pursed, Jimmy said, "It's my fault."
At his apology, Dakora gasped and snapped, "You are always so responsible and sensible. How could you do this to her?"
Cheating on Ariah when she was pregnant? This was absolutely unforgivable.
Jimmy apologized sincerely, "It's my fault. I won't do it again. Please calm down. I'll explain to Ariah."
Although he had disappeared for more than a month and missed celebrating Thanksgiving with her, there was no reason for Dakota to be so mad at him and make such a big fuss about it. Regardless, he didn't refute her and kept on apologizing honestly.
Dakota had always been calm and composed, but today, she was pissed off by Jimmy that he could say this so pompously!
He didn't even intend to hide it from her!
He didn't care about Ariah at all!
She pointed at him, who she thought was excellent and capable, and was trembling with anger. "I entrusted my daughter to you, but how can you hurt her like this? If you don't love her anymore, just divorce her. Why do you cheat on her? How could you break her heart when she's pregnant?"
