Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 667

"The item arrived?"

That soon?

Jimmy was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Did it arrive already? Where is it? Should I head to your house or your office?"

"Come to the Jones Mansion."

"Okay, coming."

Glancing at the time, Jimmy then turned the steering wheel and drove directly to the Jones Mansion.

When the doorbell rang, Sharon was playing games with her two children on the sofa. Hazel who opened the door was surprised to see Jimmy. "What are you here for at this hour, Mr. Hudson?"

Hearing the voice, Sharon subconsciously turned her head towards the door. Sure enough, she saw Jimmy coming into the house.

"Jimmy?"

Sharon went over to welcome him. "Did you come alone? Where's Ariah?" "She didn't come."

"What are you doing here then?"

"Can't I visit even though she's not here?" Jimmy smiled and asked teasingly.

"No, it's not like that..."

Sharon almost fell into his trap. "Forget it, are you looking for Stanley?"

"Yeah, where is he?"

"He just came back from the office and is in the study now. He told me to bring you there once you arrive."

Jimmy answered with a brief "sure" and went to the study directly after greeting the two children.

When he arrived, he knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Stanley's voice came from the study.

Pushing open the door, Jimmy entered the room and saw Stanley sitting behind his working desk. When Stanley heard the sound of footsteps entering the room, he didn't even bother to raise his head. Instead, he picked up the box beside him and tossed it at Jimmy.

"Catch!"

Reacting fast, Jimmy caught it with ease. He then tossed it around with his hand without opening it.

Putting down his pen, Stanley raised his eyes and asked, "Aren't you going to open it?"

"I trust your taste."

"Aren't you afraid that I will set you up?"

"Well you can't run away forever."

Hearing that, Stanley snickered, "The money I spent on this will be deducted from your share, any objections?"

Jimmy had already bought shares when he first joined the company. Even though he didn't physically work in the company, he would receive substantial income by the end of each year.

"Sure, that's up to you," said Jimmy as he chucked the box into his pocket. His eyes were a little distant as his mind wandered somewhere else. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Seeing Jimmy losing himself in reverie, Stanley raised his brows and asked, "Why don't you call Ariah over? So we can have a get-together?"

"Forget it," Jimmy answered after coming back to his senses. "She's busy taking care of her patients in the hospital. I don't think she's free to come."

"Alright then," Stanley didn't push any further.

After receiving the item, Jimmy was going to leave. "I'll be leaving first. Thanks for helping me get this."

Waving his hands, Stanley replied, "Bye, I won't be sending you off."

Then, Jimmy pushed open the door and walked out of the house.

The two of them shared a solid friendship. They trusted each other because they both knew each other inside out.

Just as Stanley lowered his head once again to sort out his documents, Sharon's voice came from the living room. After a while, he heard the sound of a door closing, followed by the sound of footsteps running towards him.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

"Honey!"

The next second, the door of the study was pushed open. Sharon ran in with a curious look on her face. "What was Jimmy doing here?"

"He came to get something."

"What was it?"

Tilting his head up, Stanley glanced at her. His thin lips spat out three words, "A diamond ring."

A diamond ring?

Realizing what he had said, Sharon widened her eyes and asked, "Is Jimmy going to propose to Ariah?" "Maybe." "What do you mean by maybe? He definitely is going to propose! Why else would he want to buy a diamond ring?"

"Maybe it's for someone else."

Feeling speechless, Sharon pulled a long face. D*mn it! Could Stanley stop joking around with her?

Amused by his wife's reaction, Stanley chuckled, "What are you going to do with that naive mind of yours? Who else would he buy the diamond ring for if not for Ariah?"

Finishing his sentence, he pushed the chair aside, patted his thigh, and signalled, "Come here."

Rolling her eyes, Sharon sauntered her way to him. As soon as she took a step, she was immediately yanked over by Stanley. Falling into his arms, she subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover her stomach. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Stanley!"

"Be careful with our child!", she cried out in annoyance.

"I'm being careful," Stanley said as he wrapped one hand on her waist and lifted her long hair with the other. He then placed his chin on her shoulder and took in her faint body scent.

Whether it was because of her pregnancy or something else, the scent on her body was growing more and more pleasant.

It was strong enough to get him aroused.

Not noticing her husband's eyes turning dark, Sharon was completely immersed in her own thoughts. "Looks like Jimmy is going to propose to Ariah soon. Do you think they'll be able to remarry this year? Would they hold a wedding ceremony? I think they definitely would... Hey, Stanley! Where are you touching?!"

In the end, Sharon finally realized what her husband was trying to do. His hands on her waist began wandering over her body.

Seeing her reaction, Stanley chuckled, "I'm not trying to do anything. I just wanted to touch your belly."

"What's there to touch. It hasn't even been three months..."

Even though Sharon said that, she still grabbed his hands and placed them on her stomach.

The next moment, Stanley's low and deep voice rang in her ears, "Didn't we forget to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Sharon's face turned scarlet red. "You just said you weren't trying to do anything..."

"No, I'm not going to do anything, I'm just thinking about it, that's all."

Hearing his response, Sharon went speechless.

"The doctor said we could do it after the first three months..."

"It's... it's not even three months yet!" Sharon exclaimed. Worried that their two children in the living room would come in any time, she quickly changed the subject, "Ariah is so lucky to have Jimmy buying her a ring!"

Then, she stretched out her bare hands and looked at it.

Following the direction of her eyes, Stanley paused his movements. "Do you want a ring?"

"What kind of woman doesn't like diamond rings?" She glanced at him.

"So you like diamond rings too?" Stanley asked while raising his eyebrows.

"Well, it would be nice if I had one. Look at us. We both don't even wear rings on our fingers. No one would've known we are a married couple."

After a moment in thought, Stanley said, "I don't have a ring now, but I have another present for you."

Initially, he had planned to give it to Sharon during Thanksgiving. However, seeing the envious look on her face, Stanley thought it would be a good idea to give it to her in advance.

Hearing this, Sharon was surprised. "There's also a gift for me?"

She didn't even expect a present since she had only casually mentioned the ring.

"What is it? Let me see."

Feeling impatient, Sharon immediately reached out and opened the drawer in front of her. Usually, he would put everything in this drawer.

However, it was empty when she opened it.

"It's not in this drawer," Stanley said patiently. He pushed the drawer back and pointed at the document he had just signed. "Look."

"What is this...?"

Picking up the document, Sharon lowered her head to read it. At first, she was worried about not understanding it, but the last two lines in the document left her dumbfounded, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Is this... a letter for transfer of shares?"

Besides, it was a 60% stake of Jones Group!

And he planned to give 60% of it to her and their two children!

"When the company was established, I was short of money. Jimmy invested in my company with the little money he had at that time. As the company grew, I gave him 10% of the shares to repay him. There were also a few seniors in the company who has 20% of the shares. Now that I gave 60% of the shares to you and our children, I only have 20% of the shares left."

Then, he said in a mellow voice, "Do you know what this means?"

Not understanding what her husband was trying to get to, Sharon shook her head. How would she understand all this?

"This means that you and our children are the company's biggest shareholders now. If you want to take over the company one day, it'll be easy for you."
