Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 655

Mack spun around and saw that it was Jimmy, who was leaning against the door and looking at them with a sharp gaze.

Swiftly, Ella turned away and wiped her tears.

On the other hand, Mack felt slightly awkward and cleared his throat. "When did you come?"

Jimmy came in and sat down beside the bed, wrapping his arm around his mother's shoulder. "Mom, is Dad walking over you?"

"No..."

With an embarrassed look, Ella quickly explained, "We're just talking. He's not walking over me.”

"If not, then why did you cry? I bet dad is saying something that breaks your heart." With that said, Jimmy looked to his father. "Dad, am I right?"

Instantly, Mack glared at him and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Mom, if dad is walking over you, just tell me. I'll definitely take your side and do you justice!"

Hearing that, Mack was choked speechless.

He got so angry that he just glared at his son.

Meanwhile, Ella broke into a smile and patted

Jimmy on the hand. "I know you care about me, but your dad and I weren't arguing."

"Alright. Just now, Hazel told me that you didn't eat much at noon. I'm very worried about you," Jimmy said with a frown.

"Don't worry. I'll have lunch soon."

Hearing that, Jimmy nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mom, why don't I ask the servant to cook a fish for you. I know you like fish."

"Sure, sounds good."

"Awesome, I'll go arrange it."

Then, Jimmy stood up and gave Mack a look, to which Mack cleared his throat and tugged the quilt for his wife. "The food will be served when it's ready. Now, take a rest first."

Ella knew that the father and son had something to talk about, so she just nodded and lay down.

Upon closing the door of the bedroom, Mack turned around and saw Jimmy looking at him with a crooked smile. "Now, do you know the right way of coaxing women? The way you spoke to mom earlier was a no-no. I'm surprised she could bear with you for all these years." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Really?" Mack looked at him casually. "So you know how to coax women, huh? In that case, why Ariah still hasn't decided to get back with you?"

Immediately, Jimmy's face darkened. "What a sharp tongue you have, dad!"

He was choked speechless by his father's remark.

"Anyway, enough joking around. Come with me to the study!"

"You go ahead. I'll come in a bit because now I gotta arrange the meal first."

"Alright, hurry up."

"Will do."

Upon seeing Mack enter the study room, Jimmy went downstairs. The servants were busy with their own chores, so he went straight to the kitchen to rummage in the refrigerator.

"Mr. Hudson, you can tell me if you need anything to eat." Hazel walked over in a hurry.

"Nah, it's for my mom." He then took something out of the fridge. "Hazel, will you cook a fish? My mom likes it."

"Sure, just leave it to me. I know you have a way to let Madam eat properly."

Getting her reply, Jimmy smiled and changed the subject. "Hazel, as I recall, you're working here since I was a kid, right?"

"Yes, I was hired when you were born for a month or so. At that time, Madam was in poor health condition, so two nannies were hired to take care of her. One was rather clumsy and didn't take care of her well, so she was fired whereas I got to stay. Madam has treated me well since then, so I stayed for all these years."

As Jimmy tidying the fridge, he asked casually, "So based on what you said, I was kinda brought up by you, is that right?"

"Yeah, you could say that," Hazel replied with a smile, "Back then, you're more of an active child than your brother. I remember there was one time when you two played hide and seek on a rather hot that day. When it was his turn to hide, you got distracted by toys and forgot to find him. As a result, Kobi hid in a box for the whole afternoon. We only found out about that when your father came back at night."

Hearing that, Jimmy said with a piercing gaze, "I don't remember this at all. So my mom didn't even notice that Kobi was missing and it was my dad who found out about it?"

"Exactly."

"That's really strange. I mean how could she not notice her son going missing for the entire afternoon? Hazel, if you were my mom, would you not notice that?"

Hazel stopped in her tracks and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Nothing. I just thought that shouldn't all mothers be concerned about their children? Although my mom is careless, it's just weird that she didn't notice it at all."

With a guilty look, Hazel quickly drooped her head and said, "Jimmy, don't overthink it. Anyway, I shouldn't be speaking of this. If Madam hears it, I'll be in serious trouble."

Jimmy stared at her for a while before smiling and saying, "Fair enough, you may go back to your work now."

Saying that, he left.

Hazel sighed and shook her head. It was better for her to stay away from the business of the rich.

Otherwise, it could bring her unnecessary trouble.

On the second floor-

Jimmy pushed open the door and went into the study. It was very quiet inside. Mack was sitting by the desk, staring at something.

"Dad?"

Jimmy walked over.

Quickly, Mack came back to his senses and put away the thing in his hand.

Before he had kept it into the drawer, Jimmy spotted the item.

It was a photo of three.

However, he couldn't see who they were.

"Ahem." Mack cleared his throat and looked up. "Have a seat."

Jimmy did as he said.

"How's the thing going now?"

Knowing that his father would figure it out himself if he didn't tell him now, he decided that he might as well say it now.

Therefore, he told Mack everything.

After hearing the whole story, Mack frowned. "So, what you said is that all this was caused by Kevin and Kobi? And for some reason, they had a disagreement so Kobi wanted to kill Kevin through you?"

"Based on the evidence I hold now, yeah."

Mack's expression grew darker. He couldn't believe that his eldest son, who was upright and kind, would do such a thing.

Jimmy understood that his father must be shocked now because he felt so too when he first learned that Kobi had a business going on with Kevin.

Nevertheless, right now, he was more concerned about another issue.

With a serious look, he finally asked, "Dad, just now in the bedroom, Mom said that Kobi is your son, not hers. What does she mean by that?"
