Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 760

As Howard returned to the city, he tried to call Elaine but she didn't answer.

"D*mn, she is getting bolder now. How dare she not answer my call!" Howard snorted.

He parked the car, opened the door, and saw that the house was empty.

The sight infuriated him.

Immediately, he called Ariah to which she answered rather quickly, "Hello..."

"Is Elaine with you now?" he interjected immediately.

"You guys are back?" Ariah blurted honestly, "Yes, she's with me. Come and pick her up."

Hence, Howard drove to Jimmy's house.

Upon arriving, he knocked on the door and Ariah greeted him. Without hesitation, he asked, "Where is she?"

Ariah pointed at the living room, but she held him back before he entered. "Hey, relax. I have something to say to you."

"What now?" "Well, I think Elaine is quite okay. We need a..."

"Don't even think about it!" Howard interrupted with a gloomy face. "If you need a maid, go and hire one yourself! Why do you have to take a fancy to mine? Are you pirates?"

Ariah didn't expect him to be so agitated, "I'm just asking. Keep her then."

With that, Howard stood at the entrance, took out a cigarette, and started smoking it slowly. Ariah wanted to stop him, but when she saw him like this, she sighed and didn't say anything.

"Am I really that bad?" Howard looked at Ariah. "So bad that you have to come and take her away from me?"

Ariah pursed her lips awkwardly. "I'm not saying that you're bad, but we don't want to see you bully her..."

"How did I bully her?" Howard scratched his hair in frustration. "If I were really bullying her, I would have done it already. Do you think you can stop me?"

His remark intrigues Ariah.

She thought about it, and he was right.

When Elaine didn't see them come in, she carried Lacie in her arms and asked curiously, "What are you doing there?"

"We're coming," Ariah replied. Before she went in, she glanced at Howard again and wanted to say something, but she held it in and entered the living room.

After Howard finished smoking outside, he came to the living room and saw Elaine and Ariah playing with Lacie.

After looking at them for a while, he said in a cold voice, "Let's go."

Elaine quickly returned Lacie to Ariah and stood up, looking a little reluctant, "Ariah, can I come and play with Lacie again, please?"

"Of course, you can. Come over whenever you're free." Ariah saw them to the door.

When they were at the door, Howard hurriedly pulled Elaine away when she turned to Ariah, wanting to say something.

He was still holding her hand when they entered the elevator, and it made her feel uncomfortable and wanted to break free from his hand. However, A quick glare frightened her, and she shrunk her shoulders timidly.

As he snorted at her reaction, Howard held on to her hand, feeling the tiny hand in his. It was so small that he could wrap it snugly.

"Why did you come to their house?" Howard asked.

Elaine answered as she tried to free her hand, "Lacie has a cold, so we went to the hospital.

Later, Jimmy had something urgent to attend to, so he asked Ariah and me to come back first."

"Why didn't you tell me before you left?"

"I didn't want to disturb you."

"And you think I'm gonna believe you?" Howard raised his eyebrows.

She looked down.

Then, the elevator door opened.

As soon as Howard let go of her, she immediately ran forward like a feral cat. Amused, he chuckled and shouted, "Hey, silly, this way!"
