Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 687

After a long moment of pause, Ariah said, "I don't know what to say. I take Emily as my sister, and I don't want anything bad to happen to her, but you're my... I can't make things difficult for you and put you in danger."

Jimmy, on the other hand, did not expect that she would be stumped over these matters.

He thought that she would get angry out of ignorance after hearing what he said, but never did he expect that she would be so sensible.

This was the kind of woman he wanted. Reasonable, mature, and had a sensible mindset.

However, sometimes, even rational people would be in a dilemma when faced with unexpected events.

Jimmy would not let the woman he loved being in a dilemma. Swirling the glass in his hand, he looked down with a smile and said, "I don't like to see you in a dilemma because of these things."

Ariah looked up at him, confused.

"So let me deal with them."

Putting down the glass in his hand, Jimmy got up, took the coat on the chair, and put it on. "Let's go home and have a good night's sleep. I'll bring Emily to you, I promise."

"Jimmy!"

Overjoyed, Ariah jumped up and threw herself into his arms, "Really?"

Jimmy hugged her and staggered two steps back. "Have I ever lied to you?"

Ariah nodded, again and again, her eyes curling into a smiley curve.

Seeing how happy she was, Jimmy narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why do I feel that Emily is even more important than me?"

"No way. You're always number one!"

Ariah was delighted that he had agreed to help, so she wouldn't mind complimenting him a little.

"Hypocrite."

Despite knowing that she was simply saying that to make him happy, he wasn't annoyed at all. He stroked her hair gently and glanced at her face lovingly. "I'll do anything for you as long as it makes you happy."

His voice was like a drum that was thumping her heart, causing her to blush.

Finally calming down on the way back, she started to feel nervous again, and she kept glancing at Jimmy hesitantly.

Jimmy took a quick glance at her and said, "Spill it."

"A-Am I being too hard on you?" Ariah was at a loss. She was upset when he said he didn't want to get involved, but now that he agreed to help, she was upset again.

Even she herself didn't know what to do.

"Isn't it too late to ask me this now?"

"B- But are you really okay with it?" Ariah was genuinely worried.

She was not muddleheaded. She knew that a lot was going on between these big notorious families, and Jimmy might end up having another enemy if he went against them.

This would add one more hazard on his already loaded list of dangerous enemies.

Jimmy, on the other hand, was gratified. He was deeply moved to see Ariah so worried about him.

Smiling lovingly, he reached out to hold her delicate hand. "If they don't want to hand her over, there will indeed be conflicts if I ask for her forcefully, but don't underestimate your husband's ability. It may seem tricky, but I can handle it."

Ariah blinked. "How?"

Jimmy turned the steering wheel and said, "Don't ask. Curiosity kills a cat. If you know what I'm about to do, you'll be spooked."

Ariah pouted and stopped asking.

Then, she thought of something and uttered, "By the way, why did you make a deal with Kobi? What do you have on him?"

Jimmy's gaze darkened slightly, and he didn't answer immediately. After a while, he opened his thin lips slowly, "I didn't know why he colluded with Kevin before, but now I know."

"Why?"

Jimmy's breathing became faster, and his gaze grew deeper as he saw through her intention. "Are you repaying me in this way because I agreed to help find Emily?"

Biting her red lips, Ariah darted her gaze at him, seductive and bewitching. "Well, do you like it?"

"Very much." Jimmy grinned and there was evilness in his eyes.

With that, he clasped her slender waist and pressed her against his chest. "Since you come at me first, don't beg for mercy later!"

Ariah saw a wolf- like aura in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Feeling somewhat nervous, she swallowed and stammered, "I think we'd better not..."

"Ah!"

Before she could finish, he turned over and pressed her on the bed, glaring at her with fiery gazes.

Flushed red in embarrassment, Ariah turned her face away, revealing her charming and adorable side profile under the light.

Jimmy's heart began to pound violently as he

stared at the beautiful sight...

Ariah fell asleep. Jimmy held her in his arms for a while and then got up from the bed.

He took his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

On the other end of the line, he ordered in a deep voice, "Keep your eyes on the Pooler Family. If anything strange happens, break in directly, and..."

Jimmy paused for a while with a sinister grin on his face. "List out Pooler Family's shady entertainment clubs tonight and send it to my office tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he put down his phone and returned to his warm bed.

Ariah, who was in deep sleep, slid into his embrace.
