Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 738

"Yeah, it's me!" Hailee threw herself happily at Ariah but was blocked back by a man.

"Who are you?" Frowning, Hailee stared at the man.

Leaning against the wall lazily, Jimmy replied, "I'm her husband. And who are you?"

Hailee widened her eyes. "You're... Kobi?"

Instantly, Jimmy's face turned gloomy. "Who told you that I'm Kobi?"

"What? You're not Kobi? I thought Ariah said that she would marry Kobi when she grows up. And just now, you said that you're—"

"Hailee!"

Unable to listen to it any longer, Ariah cut her friend off. Meanwhile, Jimmy's look was gradually becoming sullen.

Seeing that, she knew she'd better stopped Hailee from talking any further nonsense.

Hailee was the careless type of girl, and only now did she realize that she had said something stupid.

Jeez, how could she spill out the joke they made in their youth like that! If that man wasn't Kobi, then she would be driving a wedge between the couple!

Besides, Ariah's husband seemed to look a little upset upon hearing what she said.

Right then, the elevator door opened and Hailee immediately stepped out. With a dry smile, she said, "Ariah, I just came back from abroad a few days ago and I still have something to deal with later. I'll call you up some other time yeah."

After that, she left in a hurry.

Ariah was now left with a big trouble.

Sensing Jimmy's gaze, she could only say awkwardly, "Uh, we've arrived on the B floor."

He then went out with a cold face, followed by her. On the way to pick up their car, she thought that Hailee was still a troublemaker like back then.

When they got home, Jimmy went straight to prepare dinner in silence.

He was getting better at cooking now and he never let her cook anything or do the dishes from the moment he knew that she was pregnant.

Because he was worried that she would get discomfort from bending to do house chores.

Sometimes, thinking about it, Jimmy was really a caring husband, as he would pay attention to those details.

In the past few months, due to her resentment towards him, she hardly took the initiative to talk to him. It was he who came to talk to her every time.

So she never expected there would be one day he just kept quiet and treated her indifferently.

Ariah bit her lips as she watched him preparing food in the kitchen.

When dinner was ready, Jimmy called for her to eat, to which she immediately responded.

During the meal, she picked up some vegetables for him, but he just moved his plate away and refused. "I don't like these. You can have them."

Surprised, Ariah then lowered her head to eat in silence.

Upon finishing the meal, she wanted to do the dishes, but Jimmy frowned and said, "Leave the dishes to me. You go sit on the sofa and watch TV."

Then, he cleaned up the table and went into the kitchen.

Ariah stared at his back and stomped her feet.

Later when they went to bed, she was having trouble falling asleep whereas Jimmy seemed to have fallen asleep already. Ariah turned to study his angular side profile. His thin lips were tightly pursed.

Now, she came to realize that it was really upsetting when one was being treated coldly like this.

Jimmy had only been treating her like this for a few hours, but she already felt uncomfortable.

Then, she thought about how cold she had been to him for the last few months, and sometimes, she would even lose her temper and throw tantrums at him. However, he would just smile and comforted her.

How did he manage to endure it?

Last month, somehow, she even grew disgusted at seeing him so she stopped talking to him for a whole week.
