Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 611

"Since you know that I don't like Kobi, then why are you still jealous?"

Ariah held on to Emily's hand and continued, "Emily, I know that you're not a narrow- minded person. You don't think that I have something to do with him just because I've known him before, do you?"

If that was the case, then Ariah was truly being wronged.

"Of course not!" Biting her lips, Emily shook off her hand and snapped, "I know that you're not interested in him, but he is!"

Instantly, Ariah's heart skipped a beat. Now, she finally knew why Emily was angry.

Emily must have suspected that Kobi was interested in her.

With that, of course, she would get angry because she loved Kobi too much.

Upon realizing that, Ariah did not mind Emily snapping at her.

She pursed her lips and said, "Emily, Kobi loves you. You must have misunderstood something..."

"I misunderstood something?"

Immediately, Emily cut her off. "No, I heard it myself."

"He... told you that?" With a frown, she asked.

"Tsk, I wish." Emily smiled bitterly.

To be frank, she would rather Kobi make it clear to her than having to hear it through eavesdropping. It was just unbearable.

"I overheard his conversation with his father. He confessed that he... likes you."

With some difficulty, Emily said that, and her eyes turned red. "Ariah, what should I do?"

Ariah didn't expect that she would suddenly cry and was at a loss. "Do you want me to question him?"

"Nah." Emily shook her head. "If he doesn't love me, then I won't marry him. I'll just go home after some time."

Although she loved Kobi, she still had pride.

She would not marry him shamelessly. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Ariah had nothing to say. If Kobi was indeed unfaithful to Emily, then she would definitely stand on Emily's side.

She believed Emily could still live a happy life, even without Kobi.

However, she didn't expect that Kobi would actually like her...

And he even said those things to Mack. How was she going to face Mack later?

Ariah was in a dilemma.

Besides, she didn't understand why Kobi would fall in love with her now, instead of back then when she shamelessly pursued him? Why now?

"Ariah."

Abruptly, Emily called out to her.

Ariah came back to her senses and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something that I need your help."

"What is it?"

"I wanna go home now, but Kobi won't let me go. He has my passport and I don't know where he keeps it." Emily bit her lip. "I don't wanna stay here anymore. I wanna move out."

"Wait, what? He keeps your passport?"

Now, Ariah was truly furious. "How could he do that?"

Unbelievable! Only a despicable man would do such a thing!

Despite being heartbroken, Emily still couldn't help speaking up for Kobi, "Well, he'll be awkward if I leave suddenly, and his family will definitely question him. So I understand that...."

"No, you don't!"

Ariah couldn't help but scowled. "Don't forget that he hit you!"

Coupled with the fact that he had confiscated Emily's passport, Ariah found it more and more difficult to understand Kobi.

He was a completely different person to her now.

"No, he didn't hit me." Emily shook her head. "He really didn't. We had a fight that day. By accident, he pushed me and I bumped onto the door..."

"Seriously? You're still speaking up for him?" Frustrated, Ariah said, "I've already asked him. He said that he drank too much that day and injured you unintentionally. He even promised that he

wouldn't do such a thing again."

Blank, Emily stared at her and asked, "He... promised that to you?"

Seeing her look, Ariah knew that she must have misunderstood again. "Emily, it's not what you think..."

"Ariah, I can't believe that he made the promise to you instead of me, his fiancee. This is just heartbreaking."

Soon, Emily started to cry as she couldn't believe that Kobi had said nothing to her after hurting her and went to promise Ariah instead.

Thinking about that, she smiled bitterly. "Looks like he really likes you. He's willing to do anything to impress you."

As for her, Kobi did not really care. He would even hit her.

Indeed, Kobi had laid his hands on her.

That day, Emily was packing her things up and about to leave when Kobi suddenly came back. Seeing that, he questioned her, to which she directly expressed her thought of leaving. Kobi forbade her. Then, they started to argue.

Just as she was about to leave the bedroom with her luggage, Kobi grabbed her luggage and they got into a fight. By accident, he pushed her and she knocked her forehead on the door.

Anyway, she just couldn't understand why they grew apart now. They used to be very close.

But on that day, Kobi seemed to have changed into a different person and left her even though she was bleeding...

Was it because she knew that he liked Ariah, so he couldn't be bothered to care for her anymore?

Meanwhile, Ariah looked at her anxiously. "Emily..."

"I know this has nothing to do with you." Sniffing, Emily stopped crying and stated, "I won't blame you. I'm just a little sad. That's all."

Hearing that, Ariah felt sorry for her.

"Kobi told you that he accidentally injured me because he drank?"

Suddenly, Emily asked as she thought of something.

Ariah nodded. "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Emily took a tissue and wiped her tears. "But that day, he didn't drink at all."

Hearing that, Ariah was dumbstruck. Kobi didn't drink?

Then why did he tell her he had accidentally hurt Emily because he had too much alcohol?

Meanwhile, in the living room—

The father and son were playing chess.

"How could you place that there?" Mack glared at Jimmy. "Do you even know how to play chess?"

"Nope." Jimmy leaned against the sofa lazily and hinted at his own hand. "I'm born to hold guns, not for playing chess."

Unbelievably, Mack shook his head and said, "Oh well, I should've just played with your brother."

Speaking of which, the brothers had totally different personalities since they were young; one was restless, whereas the other was quiet.

With that said, Jimmy loved to move around a lot, while Kobi, on the other hand, was much quieter and could read a book all day long.

Their neighbors used to envy that Mack was lucky to have two outstanding sons.

But now...

His sons were causing him troubles.

Thinking about that, Mack let out a long sigh.

"Your elder brother and I talked about it that day. It was just a misunderstanding. He thought that something happened to Ariah in the hotel, so he went over to take a look because he was worried."
