Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 612

Mack still believed that Kobi would not do Ariah any harm, so he subconsciously spoke up for him, "Kobi didn't do anything beyond redemption yet. So please stop blaming him."

They all should live in harmony.

If they always fought, their family would break up sooner or later.

Mack just hoped that their family would be well and united.

Hearing that, Jimmy glanced at his father and smiled. "I understand what you mean. Don't worry.

I won't do anything to him. I'm aware of what happened that day."

Being seen through, Mack was a little embarrassed. "Good, you know that Kobi didn't mean any harm. He was just a little stubborn sometimes."

"As long as he doesn't cross my bottom line, I'll get along with him."

"Then I can rest assured."

With relief, Mack nodded and added, "When Kobi comes home, will you go talk to him? He likes to keep everything to himself, so I'm afraid that he won't take the initiative to speak to you first."

Jimmy frowned. Even though he could let what Kobi had done to Ariah pass, it didn't mean that he could just act as nothing had happened.

Sensing his hesitation, Mack covered his chest with his hand. "If you two don't get along with each other, I'm afraid I'll get a heart attack sooner or later."

But Jimmy just gave him a derisive look. "Your acting sucks."

"How... how dare you!"

"How about I register you for some acting classes?"

"You little brat!"

Mack threw a chess pawn over and glared at him.

Nevertheless, Jimmy could not be bothered with him and got up to leave.

Meanwhile, on the second floor-

The girls were in the bedroom.

"Ariah, have you found it?" Emily watched Ariah search for her passport for quite a while, so she could not help but get anxious.

Standing on the chair, Ariah was rummaging through the top part of a cabinet. She found two boxes, but Emily's passport was nowhere to be seen.

Discouraged, she replied, "No, I've searched everywhere I can, but your passport isn't here."

Emily said that Kobi had confiscated her passport, so Ariah thought that he must have kept it somewhere hidden because it wouldn't make sense for him to carry it with him.

As a result, she searched every corner of Kobi's bedroom. She even went under his bed to find it, but still, she got nothing.

Getting her reply, Emily sighed. "Never mind if you can't find it. Just come down. It's dangerous up there."

In order to find the passport, Ariah had stacked two stools together to climb up the cabinet, which caused Emily to worry. "Take it slow when you come down yeah."

Ariah smiled. Despite having a bad temper, Emily was as timid as a mouse.

"Don't worry. It's not that high."

Ariah slowly came down as she steadied herself.

Suddenly, Kobi's voice sounded from behind. "What are you girls looking for?"

Although Emily was looking for her own stuff, for some reason, she still panicked upon hearing Kobi's question and lost her grip on the stool. Instantly, Ariah lost her balance and fell from the top.

"Ah...

Emily screamed in horror. "Ariah!"

Sucking in a cold breath, Ariah was prepared to fall.

However, the pain she had imagined did not come as she fell into a warm embrace.

Kobi's deep voice then rang next to her. "Are you alright?"

Coming back to her senses, Ariah immediately came out of his arms. "Thank you."

"Why are you in a hurry to get off? Am I that frightening?" Saying that, Kobi chuckled. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Ariah frowned at him. "Emily is here!"

She was warning him to watch out for his words because it could lead to misunderstanding.

Hearing that, Kobi glanced at Emily's pale face and curled into a smile.

"She already knows how I felt about you, so there's no need to act anymore."

Shocked, Emily trembled and lost her stand slightly.

She widened her eyes at Kobi in disbelief, as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Emily, are you alright?" Ariah held her up and then said angrily to Kobi, "Kobi, how could say that?"

"I'm telling the truth. She knows it very well."

With her hands trembling, Ariah glared at him angrily.

She didn't expect that Kobi would actually say something like that!

He didn't deserve Emily's love!

Thinking about that, Ariah said to him coldly, "You'd better apologize to Emily, or else I'll make you regret what you said."

As if he'd heard a funny joke, Kobi laughed. "Oh, really? What are you gonna do?"

"You..."

"I understand that you're enraged by what I said. But remember, this has nothing to do with you. So keep out of it."

"Emily had asked me for help. I can't just leave her alone!"

"Oh, she asked for your help?" Kobi glanced at Emily, who stood in a daze behind Ariah. "How?"

Without trying to conceive it, Ariah said directly, "Kobi, give Emily back her passport. And starting from tonight, she'll be staying at my place. So please stay away from her."

With a chuckle, Kobi questioned, "Do you really suppose that she'll go with you?"

He knew that Emily loved him a lot, so he bet she wouldn't be able to leave him.

When she swore that she wanted to leave, she was just saying.

And she still loved him despite everything that had happened.

"Oh, please. Cut the crap and hand over her passport." Ariah blocked him from gazing pressingly at Emily.

Somehow, she was shocked by the way he looked at Emily. It was as if he had everything under control.

However, Kobi ignored her and looked at Emily, asking softly, "Emily, do you really wanna leave me?"

With tears, Emily looked up but the answer 'yes' was stuck in her throat.

Seeing Emily hesitating, Ariah felt her heart skipped a beat and she immediately grabbed Emily's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home tonight."

But Emily didn't move.

Ariah grew anxious. "Emily?"

Right then, Emily began to weep as she stared at Kobi and asked almost pleadingly, "Why?"

"What do you mean by 'why'?" "Why are you doing this to me? We used to be very close and you promised to marry me. Why has everything changed now? Don't you know that I love you?"

Emily then shook off Ariah's hand and approached Kobi.

Seeing that, Ariah could only smile bitterly.

Emily was too stubborn in love.

Although she knew that she would get hurt, she was still infatuated with Kobi.

As an outsider, Ariah could already tell that Kobi didn't love Emily, and yet, Emily was still holding on to the last bit of hope.
