Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 695

When Jimmy heard Nicole's name, his expression instantly changed, and he glared at Emily gloomily. "What do you mean?"

Anxiously, Emily asked, "Do you know her? Her name is Nicole, and she's quite pretty."

For a long time, Jimmy stared at Emily and asked, "How do you know her?"

"Okay, I guess you do know her then." Then, Emily let out a sigh of relief. "I've seen her before."

As soon as Emily finished, Jimmy approached her and said word by word, "What did you just say?"

Only then did Emily realize that there was something wrong with Jimmy's expression. Immediately, she took two steps back and licked her lips. "1-1 said... I know her. A-Are you...okay...?"

"Make it clear!" Frustrated, Jimmy dragged Emily out of the chaotic hall and asked, "How do you know her?"

Then, Emily told Jimmy about what had happened in the villa. "I've always wanted to escape from the villa, but Lennon was watching me closely, and I couldn't even leave. Just yesterday, two of Lennon's friends came, and there was a man and a woman. After that, the woman came upstairs to look for me and asked me if I knew you." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Go on!"

"When I asked her how did she know your name, she told me that you were her friend and that she could help me escape from Lennon's place. However, it was with a condition, and I had to promise to do something for her."

"What was the matter?"

"She told me to come to you and tell you that she is currently living an awful life. Besides, she can only stay in Beachmarsh City for three days at most, and she wants you to try your best to save her from Camden."

It was exactly what Nicole had said, and Emily did not hide a single word from Jimmy.

AfterEmily finished, she noticed that Jimmy's face suddenly become gloomy, and he stood there frozen, with a dark gaze. After a long time, Jimmy asked, "Why didn't you say it yesterday?"

It made Emily feel guilty, and she did not even dare to look at Jimmy. "I... I forgot about it. I'm sorry..."

Last night, Emily was physically and mentally exhausted. Tired and hungry, she felt so sleepy after she took a shower. Although Emily felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, she couldn't remember it at that moment.

Just now, when Emily suddenly remembered about it, she told Jimmy immediately.

With a fiery gaze, Jimmy asked, "Why didn't you forget about yourself then?"

Terrified, Emily lowered her head and muttered, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

"If you did it on purpose, I would have broken my principle of not hitting women and beat you up." Then, Jimmy gave Emily a sidelong glance, "What else did Nicole say to you?"

As Emily was still trying to understand the first half of Jimmy's sentence, when she heard that question, she quickly added, "She only told me to tell you these. Oh, by the way, she also gave me a number..."

By that moment, Jimmy had taken out his phone as he said, "Give me that number."

Immediately, Emily gave Jimmy the number she had remembered in her mind.

As soon as Jimmy got it, he went aside to make a phone call with his back faced against Emily. Although Emily couldn't see Jimmy's face, she could feel that he seemed very nervous.

With a frown, Emily had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

That woman, Nicole, was delicate and beautiful, and any man would fall for her. If Jimmy were to have a special relationship with Nicole, would Ariah feel sad?

Besides, Ariah was Emily's friend, and she didn't want Ariah to be upset.

" Emily?"

Just as Emily was thinking about it, Ariah's voice sounded behind her.

When Emily turned around, Ariah walked toward her and asked suspiciously, "Why did you guys come out of the hall?"

When Ariah saw Jimmy on the phone in the corner, she frowned and asked, "Who is he calling? Why are you guys out here? Is there something wrong?"

In fact, Ariah was observant and precise, so even if Emily wanted to lie, she did not know how to lie to Ariah.

When Ariah saw Emily's coy expression, her expression became serious. "What exactly happened? Tell me."

Since Emily knew that she could no longer hide the truth, she answered directly, "I managed to escape from Lennon's villa because a woman helped me, and the reason she helped me was that she wanted me to pass a message to Jimmy." "What did she say?"

"She told me to ask Jimmy to save her."

With a frown, Ariah asked, "What's her name?"

"Nicole," Softly, Emily muttered.

Nicole?

As Ariah's eyes widened, she froze for a moment. Wait, so it was Nicole?

She hadn't heard wrongly, had she?

Again, Ariah asked Emily, "Are you sure that her name is Nicole? And that woman even asked you to pass a message to Jimmy?"

Then, Emily nodded. "Yes."

Speechless, Ariah didn't know what to say at all because Jimmy had been looking for Nicole for so many years, and now that he received news about Nicole, he should be very happy.

If it really were to be Nicole, Ariah would be happy for him too...

However, why did Ariah had a strange feeling in her heart?

"Ariah?" Suddenly, Emily reached out and waved in front of Ariah, which made Ariah come to her senses, "Yes?"

Worried, Emily stared at her and asked. "What are you thinking about?"

A moment ago, Emily noticed that Ariah's expression seemed strange, so she subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Ariah. "Is there anything wrong with Nicole? Otherwise, why did you and Jimmy have the same reaction when I mentioned Nicole?"

Immediately, Ariah shook her head, "It's nothing, and it's normal for Jimmy to have a strange reaction. Nicole has a special relationship with him and they have known each other for a long time. Besides, he has been looking for her for so many years, and I..."

As for Ariah, when she heard that Nicole had appeared again and that Nicole wanted to look for Jimmy, Ariah was not in the right mind.

Just as Ariah was thinking about it, Jimmy, who had just ended the call, strode over. Hurriedly, Ariah hurried over to greet him. However, when Ariah was about to speak, Jimmy interrupted and said, "Ariah, I have some matters to attend to, and I have to leave first. Why don't you and Emily head home first?"

Stunned, Ariah stuttered, "Y-You're leaving?"

"I have something to do."

"But we're going to get our marriage restored today, aren't we?"

However, Jimmy pursed his lips and said, "Well come here another day. I have something to do

today, and I have to deal with it first."

Then, Ariah blurted out, "But we've already been queueing for such a long time. Once we fill out the remaining forms, we will be able to get the marriage certificate. What is it that is so urgent that you have to leave this instant?"

At that moment, the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau was full of people, so if they were to continue waiting, it would take up at least an hour, and Jimmy didn't have the time to wait.

In fact, he had to go and look for Nicole this instant.

"I'm sorry, but now is not the time." Immediately, Jimmy walked up to Ariah and stared into her eyes. "Ariah, I have something urgent to take care of. Can you wait until I'm done with this matter before we get back to this?"

"No!" Angrily, Ariah shook her head. "You can't leave now. We've agreed to get married again today, and we've been waiting for half a day. I don't want to give up now. Jimmy, I understand that you want to deal with other things, but you have to settle the marriage certificates first!"

With a frown, Jimmy asked, "Why do you have to do it today?"

Suddenly, Ariah pursed her lips, "Jimmy, if you leave now, I will never agree to marry you again."

The fact that Jimmy was leaving Ariah for another woman. Did Jimmy think that Ariah would not be angry?

It was not that Ariah didn't want to let Jimmy go and look for Nicole. It was just that today was not the day.

Silently, Jimmy stared at Ariah with a deep frown. Although Jimmy wanted to say something, he was in no right to say it because Ariah didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't blame her for saying such a thing. However, the matter about Nicole could be delayed either.

Suddenly, Jimmy's phone rang. As soon as he took it out and looked at it, his face changed.
