Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 729

Jimmy snorted contemptuously, "Don't worry. If we really get into a fight, Ariah will only watch as I beat you up while drinking juice."

She was not a fool. Now that she was pregnant, she was extra vigilant. She would never get into the middle of the fight and get herself hurt.

Ricco kept his distance from him. "Hey, calm down. There are people here."

Kicking the chair away, Jimmy hissed, "Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?"

"Hey, can you not get jealous all the time? It's her who called me."

"She did?"

"She wants to know how Felipe is doing now. She said that she couldn't get in touch with him, so she's a little worried."

Jimmy squinted. Intimidated by his sharp glare, Ricco said, "Felipe had already skipped town because of you. Did you blacklist his number too? Yes, he was unwise to move in and stay with Ariah, but he was there as a nanny. When you weren't around, he would buy food for Ariah every day. He's doing this on your behalf. Why are you still fussing over it with him?"

As Jimmy listened, he stared at him while pulling a chair to sit.

Upon seeing Jimmy's calmer attitude, Ricco sat opposite him and continued, "Besides, he's just a kid. How can Ariah like him?"

"It's hard to say." Jimmy's tone was gloomy. "Like master, like your apprentice. You guys are equally disgusting."

"Please, I had no feelings for Ariah. I approached her back then because I wanted to investigate Kevin and you." Ricco leaned back on the chair. "And about that drunk incident. Yes, I crashed her place for one night, but nothing happened between us."

"Nothing?" Jimmy's eyes lit up.

Ariah had never told him in detail about what happened that night. Ricco, on the other hand, said something odd in the hospital, causing him to misunderstand them.

"Nothing! Do you think I was such an *ssh*le? She's already drunk. How can I take advantage of her?"

Speaking of this, Ricco sized him up. "Anyway, you have such a big heart. You always assumed that something was going on between Ariah and me, but you don't seem to mind at all."

Of course, Jimmy did mind, but it was a peculiar moment back then. Ariah thought that he had an affair with Anna. Despite their innocence, he still felt sorry for her because he took care of Anna secretly for a few years.

At that time, he desperately thought about whether Ariah would feel guilty if she slept with Ricco. If she did, would she forgive him for taking care of Anna?

Squinting at Ricco, Jimmy tapped the table gently with his fingers and asked slowly, "Do you know that I almost shot you? I have even thought about the consequences. I'd kill you and turn myself in."

At that time, he was so angry that he had lost all his senses and rationality.

Realizing that he was not joking, Ricco's expression slowly changed into disbelief. "W-Why didn't you?"

Jimmy had a faint smile on his face. "Because you are lucky."

With that, he stood up and walked away, only to turn back again as if something crossed his mind. "I know you have a way to get in touch with Felipe. Tell him to contact Ariah so that she can stop worrying about him."

Rubbing the goosebumps on his arms, Ricco was counting his blessings. He didn't know that Jimmy had the intention to kill him.

Ariah had just taken a sip of fruit juice when Jimmy wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her outside. "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

With that, Ariah struggled her way out of his embrace in embarrassment. "What are you doing? People are watching us. I want to eat hot pot tonight."

"No. The soup is spicy. You can't eat spicy food."

"There're non-spicy hot pot soup!"
