Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 747

With her daughter in her arms, Ariah turned her face away and held back her tears before turning around again. "Nothing. It's getting late, are we still going back tonight?"

She did not tell him about the fierce dispute she had with Ella.

Yet, Jimmy walked up to her, stared at her, and hissed, "What happened?"

Avoiding his gaze, Ariah bit her lips and lowered her head quietly.

Jimmy then turned to his mother, who looked furious as well with a grimacing frown.

"Can someone tell me what happened?" Jimmy raised an eyebrow.

Getting no response from either of them, he nodded with a squint. "Fine."

Then, he turned around and gestured at Hazel. "You were downstairs, so you must know what happened. Talk."

Peeking at Ella's furious frown, Hazel shook her head timidly. "I was in the kitchen, so I didn't know what happened in the living room."

Jimmy smirked. "You've been working with us for years. How far can the kitchen be from the living room that you can't hear anything they said? What else can you do around here?"

His words sounded awfully harsh despite the smile on his face.

This made Hazel feeling uneasy and nervous.

"Stop pestering her!" Ella stood up. "You can just ask me! Hazel, you can go now."

With a hum, Hazel quickly left.

Taking a deep breath, Ella snorted, "I was just talking about having a second child and asked Ariah to try for a boy. I didn't know how I offended her but she started getting irritated and chided me for being biased, and even said that she's not going to have a second child because of her age."

Jimmy walked up to Ariah and looked her in the eye. "Is that so?"

Ariah nodded lightly.

Unexpectedly, Jimmy sneered, "I don't think so. What else did she say to you?"

This made Ariah stunned. He really understood her the best as he could see straight to the core of the problem.

Knowing that she would not get mad so easily., he suspected that Ella must have said something unpleasant that infuriated her to the point of

crying.

She rarely cried.

So, it showed that Ella's remark must be really harsh to make her so furious.

"Jimmy Hudson!" Ella pounded her chest indignantly. She was his mother, but he treated her like she was an evil mother-in-law to his wife.

Sitting down beside Ella, Jimmy looked askance at her and jabbed, "Did you say something like you're gonna make me divorce her if she doesn't have a son?"

Ella gasped in bewilderment.

"It's incredible how I can guess it correctly, right?" Jimmy cast a sideways glance.

Actually, Ella felt a little regretful now as she blurted those words on the spur of the moment. She was also a woman, so of course, she understood how hard it was to have a baby.

However, both of them were equally stubborn and hotheaded. When their worlds collided due to different opinions, her wrath came out of nowhere.

"How can you blame Ariah for giving birth to a daughter?" Jimmy remained a casual look. "You are a highly educated person. Don't you know that the gender of the baby depends on the chromosomes from the male side?"

Ella glared at Jimmy. "Are you lecturing me?"

Leaning back on the soft couch with his legs crossed, Jimmy grinned. "I'm telling you that I'll only have one daughter and no more."

Ella and Ariah turned to him, astounded.

He was hoodwinking Ella deliberately, wasn't he?

"Don't say that. I want to have more grandchildren, that's all. Ariah, I'm sorry for spurting nonsense at you."
