Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 642

Meanwhile, Ricco was too tired to mess with them, so he got up and said, "You guys rest well. I shall make a move first."

"I won't be seeing you off then."

At that moment, Howard lay on the sofa as if he was the owner of the house, and he didn't even move an inch.

When Ariah heard that, she was at a loss for words.

Silently, Ariah shook her head.

"I'll see him off then." Shortly, Jimmy got up and followed Ricco. However, Ricco was already waiting for him at the door, and when he saw Jimmy walked toward him, he directly took out a cigarette and handed it to Jimmy.

Then, Jimmy went out, closed the door, and took over the cigarette from Ricco's hand.

Although Ricco lit the cigarette for Jimmy, Jimmy did not smoke it. Instead, he held it between his fingers and let it burn.

With a glance, Ricco knew that Jimmy was afraid that Ariah would sense the cigarette smell, which was why he didn't smoke.

Meanwhile, Ricco smiled as he inhaled the cigarette and exhaled. "I think there's no need for me to tell you that there's something wrong with Howard. I don't think it's right for me to ask about it, so you have to do it yourself."

In fact, Ricco deliberately waited at the door to tell Jimmy about this.

At that moment, Jimmy was leaning against the wall with his long legs propped up as he nodded slightly, "Got it. I'll find a chance to ask him about it."

After a pause, Jimmy continued, "How much do you know about that organization?"

"Although I don't know much, what I know is enough to shock you."

In the living room.

With both legs rested on the tea table, Howard lay leisurely on the sofa. As soon as Ariah came out of her shower, she saw how Howard acted as if he was the boss.

Angrily, she walked over and kicked him. "Put your feet down!"

Caught off guard, Howard was almost kicked off the sofa by Ariah. "Oh my! Are you even a woman? Can't you be gentler?"

In a low voice, Howard mumbled, but he did obediently took his feet off the tea table.

"Scoot over a bit!"

After Ariah took a seat next to Howard, she threw the pajamas in her hand onto him. "This is Jimmy's pajamas. You can have it for the night."

Then, Howard pursed his lips and placed the pajamas aside.

In the meantime, Ariah wiped her hair dry as she stared at Howard, and her eyes seized up his entire body like an X-ray.

"What are you looking at?" Under her gaze, Howard felt completely ill at ease. "You have a husband, don't you? Why are you looking at me with such an explicit look? That's too much!"

Suddenly, Ariah was tongue-tied.

In fact, Ariah really wanted to roll her eyes at him, "What do you mean an explicit look? Obviously, I'm examining you closely. Do you know how to use idioms?"

This b*stard's English classes must have been taught by his PE teacher.

As a response, Howard snorted.

"Let me ask you, how did you get acquainted with Kevin's friend?"

Immediately, Ariah put on a serious expression and looked at Howard. In her heart, she knew that Kevin's friend must be a complete pervert, just like

Kevin.

How could Howard possibly be acquainted with those heinous people?

"Sigh, I've already told you that I'm not very close with him." Again, Howard was trying to avoid the question. "I don't know anything about Kevin. Even if you were to kill me, you would never be able to get the information that you want."

"Alas..."

Then, Ariah started to become anxious. Why was Howard acting like this?

"Do you know Kevin then?"

As Ariah raised her eyebrows, she asked, "Yes, Mr. Perkins, do you have anything else to say?"

"I have a question. What's the relationship between Jimmy and that Kevin?"

After Ariah thought for a moment, she felt that there was no need to hide this matter from Howard, so she said directly, "Kevin had a feud with Jimmy back then, so Kevin had always wanted to find a chance to take revenge. If Kevin gets the chance this time, I'm afraid he won't stop until he kills Jimmy!"

What?

Howard's eyes went wide in shock. Never did he expect that something like this would happen.

"I thought that Jimmy was just trying to arrest a criminal, and I didn't expect that Kevin had a personal grudge against Jimmy."

Bitterly, Ariah laughed, "Throughout Jimmy's career, he had gathered a lot of hatred. And because of that, the only wish that I have is that he could spend the rest of his life peacefully."

At that moment, Howard was silent, and his lips were tightly pursed.

After Ariah returned to her bedroom, Howard lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling as he silently made a decision.

For so many years, Howard and Jimmy had a close brotherhood. Now that they were facing such difficulty, Howard, as a brother, would definitely help Jimmy as much as he could. Even if Howard had to beg that person, he wouldn't hesitate to do so.

When Jimmy came out of the bathroom and saw that Howard was lying still on the sofa, Jimmy thought that Howard must have fallen asleep.

Just as Jimmy he was about to return to the bedroom, Howard uttered, "Uhm, I always sleep very lightly, so if you guys want to do anything, remember to keep it down."

Taken aback by that reminder, Jimmy was wordless.

Then, Jimmy scolded Howard and said, "Don't talk so much. Go to sleep!"

Meanwhile, Howard hugged the pillow in his arms and sighed. Life was tough for a single man like him.

In the bedroom, Ariah was already resting in bed. For the past few days, she had not been sleeping well, but she should be able to sleep well tonight.

Just as she was thinking about it, the empty spot next to her sunk, and a mature male scent enveloped her.
