Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 610

In the evening, Jimmy came to pick up Ariah from work. The two of them planned to go back to the Hudson Family's mansion to have dinner.

In the past two days after Jimmy was discharged from the hospital, Ella would always call and ask him to come back to have home-cooked meals.

She was worried about him since he had been injured so badly.

She would make him nourishing soup every single day. After having it for two days straight, Jimmy gradually began to feel that his sex drive had been boosted.

Coming out of the hospital, Ariah noticed he didn't look good, but she only closed her eyes and rest after getting into the car.

Jimmy took a side glance at her. "Aren't you cold?"

It was sunny today and Ariah took off her coat the moment she got into the car, only wearing a tight- fitting sweater inside. She shook her head and said, "It's not cold. What's wrong?"

She was sitting there and her well-shaped figure was quite obvious.

Jimmy looked at her a few times and felt that his desire had aroused again, so he forced himself to look away.

"Put on your clothes!" He commanded hoarsely.

Ariah merely rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about? It's too warm inside here to wear a coat..."

Just then, the car suddenly came to a stop and she thrashed forward, almost hitting the panel.

When she came back to her senses, she snapped, "Are you nuts?"

She almost knocked her head when the car was suddenly stopped.

However, Jimmy just replied lazily, "It was red light."

Ariah was choked speechless.

Then, he threw the coat over, which landed on her head, and ordered hoarsely, "Put it on."

"Jimmy!"

She yelled in anger.

Hearing that, he glanced at her. "If you don't wanna make love now, then put on your coat."

Ariah stared at him in disbelief. "Are... are you an animal? How could you wanna make love now?"

Pouting, she thought of something and her face turned red, then she obediently put on her coat.

Nevertheless, Jimmy gritted his teeth and pulled her over. "Do you know how long it has been since we last had sex?"

Together with Ella's nourishing soup for the past few days, he could feel his libido getting out of control.

"But, you're still injured..."

"I can still make you cry in bed!"

"Oh, shut up!"

Being pissed off, she gave him a punch and warned, "The light has turned green!"

With a chuckle, he let go of her and started the car.

She then took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down. "How's the case on Kevin going?"

On the day being discharged, Jimmy went straight back to work and didn't contact her for the past two days, probably because he had been busy looking into Kevin's case.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes and tapped on the steering wheel, saying casually, "Not quite good. It's hard to trace him."

"We don't know where he is hiding now. I'm afraid we'll be caught off guard if he decides to attack you again."

"Then we'll do what we can." Jimmy chuckled. Knowing that she was on tenterhooks, he winked at her and comforted her. "Don't worry too much, babe. I'm sure I'll be alright."

Ariah muttered, "How can I not be worried. He could appear at any time."

Thinking that Kevin could be hiding somewhere now watching them, she felt terrified.

"Don't you have the slightest clue though?" She got the feeling that he might be hiding something from her. "I know that Ricco's an international police officer. Can't he help you find out where Kevin is?"

Unless he told her something, Jimmy knew that she wouldn't feel at ease.

"Don't worry. I've asked someone to investigate abroad." Jimmy thought for a moment and added, "Kevin has been in Mathines for the past few years. As long as we find out what name he's been using, it will be much easier to track him down."

Ariah's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Yep."

Instantly, she grew happy. "That's great."

Then, Jimmy thought of something and raised his eyebrows at her. "How did you know Ricco's identity though?"

"Uh..."

She had promised Felipe not to tell.

"Yeah?" Jimmy increased his tone.

Finally, she compromised and said, "Well, I heard it from Felipe, but I promised him I wouldn't tell, so please keep this between us."

"Fair enough." He couldn't help chuckling.

As soon as they returned to the Hudsons' Manor, they could smell coriander. Ella waved her hand and said, "Jimmy, come. I've made some soup. Drink it while it's still hot."

Jimmy frowned. "My wounds have all healed already. There's no need for me to drink these."

"I know. But still, it takes a long time to be truly fully recovered."

Ella pulled him over to sit on a chair. "Sit down and eat."

Jimmy felt helpless.

At the same time, Mack also called out to Ariah. "Ariah, come. The food is ready."

"Coming." She then sat down obediently.

Meanwhile, the servant had just informed Emily about dinner. Ariah turned around and saw Emily, who had just come down the stairs, calling out to her awkwardly, "Ariah."

Then Emily pulled out a chair and sat down beside her.

After they parted in discord last time in the hospital, neither of them had taken the initiative to speak to each other yet.

Now that Emily had taken the initiative to talk to her, she quickly replied, "Come, sit here. Where's Kobi though?"

With that said, suddenly, the atmosphere at the dining table changed.

Emily's smile froze.

Meanwhile, Jimmy put down his cutlery and shot Ariah a glare.

Confused, Ariah asked, "What's wrong?"

Jimmy merely snorted and said nothing. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, Ella came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. She didn't know what had just happened.

"Son, here's the soup."

Hearing that, Jimmy glanced at her and said, "Mom, I've had enough of this nourishing soup already."

"Oh, really?" Ella scowled at him.

"Alright, let's eat." Mack looked around and then said to Ariah, "Kobi hasn't returned yet. He probably will have dinner outside."

Instantly, Ariah understood why Jimmy and Emily's expression had changed.

Heavens!

They must have misunderstood her! She was just curious why Kobi hadn't come down for supper, not because she cared about him!

With her mouth opened, she wanted to explain but decided to hold it back, eventually.

Jimmy's dark look didn't change even after the meal. Ariah tried to talk to him several times, but he ignored her.

Seeing that, Ariah gritted her teeth in angry. What a petty man!

In the meantime, Mack took Jimmy to play chess.

So Ariah could only pull Emily, who was being sulky, to a corner and quickly clarified, "Emily, I don't like Kobi and I never like him before. If it still makes you feel uncomfortable, from now on, I won't appear where Kobi will. What do you think?"

Emily bit her lips. "I... I know..."

Although she knew that Ariah didn't like Kobi, she still couldn't help thinking back to what Kobi had said to Mack in the study that day.

He confessed that he still liked Ariah and even wanted her...

Every time when she thought of this, Emily felt as if her heart had been pricked by needles.
