Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 663

There was no way for him to deny the fact.

Ariah coughed out of uneasiness and explained, "It's not that I was afraid that you'd get irritated. It's just that I don't even know who the sender is. What if he's a pervert?"

A pervert?

Upon hearing her words, Jimmy looked even unhappier. "How do you know he's a pervert?"

"If he's not a pervert, why did he send flowers anonymously without even leaving a card? Why couldn't he just let me know his identity?" Ariah curled her lips as she imagined how the sender must be harboring some evil motives.

That rendered Jimmy speechless.

The blue veins on his forehead were bulging before he decided to go to bed.

Ariah was confounded by his reaction.

Did she say something wrong? Why did he look so gloomy?

Pursing her lips, she decided to turn off the lights before she slept.

Suddenly, she received a text message on her phone.

She turned her head and saw that Ricco had sent her a simple message, 'Remember to get the info from him.'

What info did Ricco want? Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Why did he choose to send her a message now?

Ariah thus threw her phone aside and turned off the lights before lying down.

However, she still couldn't fall asleep after tossing around.

With a long sigh, she asked, "Jimmy, are you still awake?"

"Yes," he said calmly.

She then turned around and faced him. "I can't sleep. Let's have a chat."

He remained silent.

"You seem to be very busy in the past few days. You always left early and returned late every day. Was it because of Kevin's matters?"

Jimmy still didn't answer her.

Ariah was irked, "Hey, did you hear me?"

"Yes." There was only a curt reply from him.

"What did that mean?"

"I was dealing with the case of Kevin."

She was silent as she heard that.

Slowly, her eyes adapted to the darkness, and she was able to see his visage.

His facial features were alluring, especially his straight nose. Undoubtedly, the edges of his face accentuated his masculinity.

Ariah licked her lips and asked, "What will happen to Kevin? Will he be sentenced to capital punishment?"

What Kevin had done was utterly unforgivable.

Jimmy finally moved his body and opened his eyes. "I'll deal with the case well. Don't ask too much."

"Why can't I ask? I just want to know more about it."

Jimmy then turned his head to stare at her. As she blinked her eyes, she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Didn't you say you can't sleep?" He slowly moved toward her and suggested, "Exercises can help us fall asleep. Do you want to try it?"

What kind of suggestion was that?

Immediately, she reached out her hand and pressed it against his chest. "Don't touch me. I won't ask any questions now!"

Upon hearing that, Jimmy snorted, "Since you have woken me up, shouldn't you think of a way to accompany me now?' "What's wrong with you... Ouch!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Jimmy had got up and pressed her with his body, which caused her to scream.

"Hush. I won't harm you."

He covered her mouth with his hand as his eyes turned unfathomable. "If you scream, people will think that you are in danger."

"Mmm..."

His palm pressed against her mouth so tightly that she could not even make a sound.

Looking straight into her eyes, he interrogated her, "Who let you ask me about Kevin?"

Ariah stopped struggling instantly and widened her eyes in disbelief.

Seriously? How could he guess that?

Could he really see through her mind?

"Mmm..."

"Do you want me to let you go?"

"Mmm..."

"Then you have to answer my question."

With that, Jimmy loosened his grip.

While taking a few breaths, she pushed him away.

"Dang, you are so heavy!"

She tidied up her messy clothes and asked, "How did you know that someone wanted me to inquire about Kevin?"

"Who's that?" Jimmy narrowed his eyes.

Knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Ariah curled her lips. "It's Ricco."

Ricco?

Jimmy was surprised to know that the man had taken advantage of Ariah.

He thus turned on the light and pulled Ariah up from the bed. "Did you promise him?"

"I didn't really promise him... I was just asking..."

Ariah felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him.

Glancing at her coldly, he stretched out his hand. "Give me your phone."

"What?"

"Give it to me."

Since he looked glacial, Ariah did not dare to provoke him and could only give him her phone.

Once Jimmy looked at the screen, he threw the phone aside and looked at her with a faint smile on his face. "So he did ask you to seek information from me."

The evidence was on her phone.

She should have deleted this text message earlier.

Ariah thus rubbed her face in embarrassment. "Well, I didn't manage to get anything for him, so why are you still angry..."

"Why did you promise to help him?"

Ariah hesitated.

"Tell me now!"

"He saved me twice, so I have to help him. Why can't you just let him know the whereabouts of Kevin? That will make him less worried."

Jimmy ignored her and directly dialed the number. Soon, Ricco's eager voice came from the other end. "Did you manage to get any info..."

"Ricco, don't blame me for being rude if you still do such contemptible things to Ariah."

After saying that, Jimmy hung up the phone.

Ariah was stunned.

That was too daunting.

Ricco must have gone ballistic now.

Glaring at her intently, he turned off the lights before lying down again.

As Ariah slowly came to her senses, she lay down beside him.

When she was still struggling to fall asleep, she heard a voice beside her, "Why are you still awake?

Are you waiting for me?"

Ariah thus closed her eyes and said, "O-Okay, I will sleep now."

Soon, the room was in silence except for her regular breathing sound.

Then, Jimmy's voice rang out again, "Don't try to trick me next time, or else you will be in trouble."

"Alright."

"Go to sleep now."

"OK."

The next day, when Ariah opened her eyes, she found that there was no one around her. At the same time, she could hear water flowing in the bathroom. Jimmy must be taking a shower now.

After she changed into a new set of clothes, the doorbell rang. "Who's looking for us so early in the morning?"

As she spoke, she ran to open the door and was shocked to see the person. "Why is it you again?"

The person was the one who delivered the flowers yesterday.

Smilingly, the young man uttered, "Miss Myers, these are your flowers." "Are they for me?" Ariah was confused. "Who on earth sent the flower to me?"

"Sorry, I can't disclose the customer's information..."

Ariah would have interrupted him if she knew he would say that. "Alright, I understand that, but please stop sending flowers to me in the future."
