Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 676

Masculism was a perfect word to describe Jimmy. He could be quite an insistent person at times, and occasionally, he would rather keep his problem to himself than to share them with her.

This was what pissed Ariah off.

Yesterday, she agreed to his proposal without hesitation merely because she was touched.

A man like Jimmy would never invest any effort blandishing a woman.

Unexpectedly, not only did he take a lot of thought into the proposal, but he also bought a ring. If she hadn't gotten the words out of him yesterday, he might still be thinking about how to propose to her.

Furthermore, he asked his colleagues about different ways of proposing to a woman. This point alone proved that he genuinely wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

Therefore, she agreed to his proposal right away and decided to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to register their marriage.

However, his bossy and overbearing temperament resurfaced again, and it pissed her off. "It's inconvenient to wear the ring to work. Besides, if I don't take it off, others will look at my finger all day long."

She didn't want to wear the ring to go out in the morning but Jimmy forced her to.

It was childish of him to lose his temper over a petty subject like this.

Moreover, the design of the ring was too exaggerated for her to wear.

"I bought the ring for you to wear. Why would I buy it otherwise?" He glanced at her blandly. "Just wear it, and you'll get used to it one day."

Ariah pursed her lips, speechless.

After a long while, she took two deep breaths and asked, "So we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau now, but I didn't bring anything..."

"I did."

"How about my passport?" Ariah raised her eyebrows.

Jimmy frowned. He had totally forgotten about it.

"Alright. Let's go to your house then," he turned the steering wheel and said directly.

Ariah looked askance at him. It seemed that he was determined to get their marriage registered today.

Half an hour later, at the Myers residence.

The maids were apparently caught off guard by their sudden appearance.

"Hazel, where is my mom?" Ariah asked directly, ignoring the maid's shocked expression.

Hazel, who was the most senior among the servants, regained her composure and reported, "She's upstairs, so is your father."

"Oh. Dad isn't working today?"

"It seems so." Hazel hurriedly welcomed them in.

"Please have a seat. I'll get you some tea."

"No thanks," Jimmy said directly. "Ariah and I have something to discuss with Mom. We'll be leaving soon."

After saying that, he brought Ariah up to the second floor.

As soon as they were on the second floor, Jimmy urged, "Hurry and go ask your mother for your passport. I'll wait for you here."

Ariah squinted.

He didn't dawdle at all.

Ariah had no choice but to go to her mother's room.

Leaning against the wall, Jimmy wanted to smoke a cigarette while waiting, but he assumed it wasn't polite to do so here, so he pulled his hand out of his pocket.

Glancing at the bookshelf casually, Jimmy suddenly stumbled upon one of the shelf in the study that displayed many photos on it, and saw a familiar face among the photos and went straight to it.

"I didn't expect to see a picture of you with my father here."

Jimmy said slowly as he stared at the photos.

Seeing that Jimmy was interested in those photos, Felix got up and walked over. "Your father and I go way back. We used to be in the same battalion when we were soldiers. These photos were taken during that time."

He pointed to one of the photos and sighed, "It's a pity that not many of us from the same battalion can see and have contact with each other now."

More than half of a century had passed. Some of them had died or missing in action. Only a handful was left in Allgate City.

"Oh?" Jimmy seemed to be very curious about this matter. "I don't know much about the past between you and my father, and he seldom talks about these things."

"Haha," Felix chuckled. "Maybe he thinks that young people don't like to listen to it."

Jimmy's lips twitched, and he pointed to one of the photos. "This is you, and the one in the middle is my father, right?" "Yes, you're right. You have great eyes."

Then, he pointed to another man calmly and asked, "What about this man? He seems to have a good relationship with you." "Oh, him..." Felix thought for a while and then said, "Is this Josiah? Yes, his name is Josiah Gilmore. He was quite close to your father, but then..."

Speaking of this, Felix came to his senses and waved his hand. "It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it."

After that, he turned around and was about to leave when Jimmy suddenly stopped him.

"Dad, you make me curious about what you're about to say. Don't you think it's a little off-putting to stop right at the cliffhanger?"

Felix was a little surprised to hear Jimmy call him Dad.

He had never addressed him like that before.

It seemed that Jimmy was really intrigued by the man in the photos, otherwise, he would not take the initiative to call him Dad.
