Of course, she was not okay! Sharon was venting her anger on her arm!
Instead ofchiding Sharon, Ariah smiled. "I'm okay. What did Stanley say?"
"He said he would be home a little later tonight."
"That's good. It means the woman is lying. Oh my god, she is so disgusting. She has the nerve to seduce Stanley even though she knows he is married! What a b*tch!"
After cursing her, Ariah felt much more at ease. Sharon, however, stood there silently and finally said, "I want to follow them. They should be leaving now too. Let's follow them quietly and see where they go."
"Ah? You want to..." Ariah stopped abruptly.
Sharon was determined to do it as she had made up her mind. She wanted to see it with her own eyes since she was skeptical. Otherwise, she would not be at ease.
Ariah had no choice but to accompany her.
So did Jimmy.
They were waiting in the corner outside the hot pot restaurant, and sure enough, Stanley and a woman in a skimpy dress walked out not long after. She was leaning against him.
Upon seeing this, Sharon was burning in rage.
Shocked, Ariah quickly comforted, "Calm down, Sharon."
Clutching her tummy, Sharon blurted, "Why can't he walk a little further away from her?"
Ariah took her hand and said, "Although they do stand a little closer to each other, they still walk normally. If you were to rush out now, all your efforts would have been wasted!"
"I want to catch him red-handed!" Sharon growled angrily.
Seeing this, Ariah was at a loss for words, yet Jimmy assented, "To catch the thief, you must find the stolen goods, so to catch a cheating husband, you need to catch them on the spot, meaning you'll have to wait until they're naked in bed!"
"Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ariah glared at him indignantly. Couldn't he just shut up for a second?
After hearing Jimmy's remark, Sharon was stunned at first, then her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and her face turned slightly pale.
Ariah quickly comforted her, "Don't listen to him.
Stanley wouldn't do that. You have to trust him!"
Taking a deep breath, Sharon lamented, "Jimmy is right. We have to wait until they get to the hotel and start doing the deed. I didn't think this through. Okay, I've calmed down now. Let's follow them."
Sighing, Ariah had no choice but to follow her. She knew that Sharon wouldn't give up so easily if she didn't uncover the truth today.
Hence, the two ladies quietly followed him.
Jimmy, on the other hand, was walking leisurely behind them and reminded from time to time, "Don't get too close to them. They'll find out. Come here and wait for a moment."
Ariah believed in his tracking skills, so she listened to whatever he said.
Squinting at the docile Ariah beside him, Jimmy was impressed as this was the first time she listened to him.
Moreover, she was willing to get close to him.
She would ask for his advice from time to time, and even held his arm nervously, for fear of being discovered.
At this moment, Jimmy felt that he had betrayed his good friend just to enjoy this precious moment with the woman he loved.
If Stanley were to find out that he did not try to stop them but instead brought them to catch him in the act, he would probably resent him.
