Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 44

Ariah became serious when it came to her profession. "Ask away."

"Anthony has recently met a girl, and he has always been unable to control his emotions in front of her. He is a very capable person, and very excellent in self-control, but when it comes to the girl, it all goes out the window."

After a pause, Stanley added, "Anthony was too shy to ask you, so he begged me to ask you on his behalf."

Without a doubt, Ariah answered seriously, "It's very simple. He likes the girl."

"There's the problem. He told me clearly that he won't like the girl!"

Ariah said directly, "Why is he so sure? The love between a man and a woman is not something that he can control. If he likes her, then he likes her. What do you mean by 'he won't like the girl'?"

Stanley was stunned.

Ariah immediately raised her eyebrows. "Is it that he won't like the girl, or that he doesn't want to like the girl?"

After a long while, he said in a low voice,

"Maybe... it's the latter."

"He doesn't want to like that girl? But why? Is it because she is too ugly, or is it because he brainwashed himself that he can't fall in love with her?"

For his 30 years of life, this was the first time Stanley was dumbfounded by such a simple question.

Since Ariah didn't get any response from the other end of the line, she slowly came to her senses and asked doubtfully, "Hey, is it Anthony's problem or yours?"

"Beep..."

The call was cut off abruptly.

Ariah's face twisted in a frustrating grimace, wondering when could Stanley change his habit of hanging up the phone so abruptly and rudely.

Seeing her grimace, Jimmy leaned his sturdy body over, pulled her into his arms, rubbed her hand against her cheek, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Does Stanley have someone he likes?"

Ariah asked skeptically as she thought about the question he had asked on the phone just now NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Jimmy laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you that your crush, Stanley was married a long time ago."

"So you should ditch all those hopeless romantic thoughts you had on that fellow as soon as possible, woman!" he thought to himself.

Ariah was stunned. "He... is married?"

"Yes. Why? Are you sad because he is married?"

Ariah slapped him and said, "Are you jealous again?"

Jimmy frowned after he was slapped and glared at her. "How dare you attack the police! I'll detain you!"

Smiling charmingly, Ariah licked her lips, looking seductive and flirtatious. "Okay, officer. I'm a bad girl. Arrest me quickly."

Jimmy was triggered sexually by her teasing. His Adam's apple bobbed and the flames of lust burst out from his eyes. "You're teasing me, huh? Just you wait, don't cry in bed tonight!"

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Stop that. I'm in a serious business here. Why did Stanley suddenly get married? When was it? Did he get married in secret?"

"Yes, he got married in secret about a year ago with an ordinary young lady from a poor family."

Lifting Ariah's chin, Jimmy kissed her and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't cook. I want to eat you!"

Ariah blushed. While avoiding the man's intimate kisses, she said, "Did you forget how miserable and pitiful he was in the year when Rebecca had an accident? That incident gave him a huge blow. I thought he would never marry another woman in his life. Besides, the incident had caused some psychological trauma in him. Time could cure physical wounds, but psychological trauma is the most difficult to cure that it will keep lurking in his mind. He may seem fine, but in reality, it can cause quite a serious problem to his mental state."

Jimmy wasn't interested in listening to her speech about her field of expertise, but as he looked at her frowning and the sorrowful expression, it became another kind of temptation to him.

Aroused, he held her in his arms and whispered, "Ariah, I want you."

Ariah squinted at him.

"Stanley knows what he is doing. So what if he still has Rebecca in his heart? She is gone. He looks fine to me though, accepting another woman and starting to love her again."

Ariah was blushed and said, "Isn't it the most important thing for men to have feelings in some aspects? Rebecca died because of him. Her status in his heart must be unparalleled. How could he fall in love with someone else in such a short time?"

Jimmy was rendered speechless.

Inside the car.

Stanley hung up the phone, and there was a trace of confusion in his sharp eyes.

Ariah's words lingered in his mind.

Did she say that he liked Sharon? But she was just an outsider. Why would he believe her if he couldn't even confirm this himself?

Moreover, he would never love another woman in his life. His true love had died seven years ago and lived in his heart ever since.

The phone suddenly rang. It was a notification of an incoming text message. He took it out and looked at it. It was a message from Hazel.

Taking the phone and opened the text, his eyes flickered upon the sight.

It was a photo of Sharon.

She was wearing an apron and standing in the kitchen. Her petite body was soft and beautiful, with a pink neck and a gentlelooking side profile. She was seriously washing the vegetables in her hand, looking exceptionally beautiful and lovely.

Stanley carefully looked at the photos on his phone without missing a single detail.

He looked at her slender waist and her plumpy butt; her curves were well-proportioned.

She was slim, but she had a perfect curvy figure. Her body and flawless skin were so tender to the touch that it made him mesmerized with her.

As he thought about it, Stanley's breath began to quicken. He took a few deep breaths and suppressed his impatience.

He shifted his gaze and saw a line of words under the photos: "Young Master, Madam has cooked up a storm for you. When will you come back?"

A dash of light flashed in Stanley's eyes and thought, "Did she cook for me?"

His Adam's apple bobbing, Stanley wanted to reply with a few words, but on second thought, he directly threw his mobile phone aside, started the car, and drove away.

In the villa.

Sharon looked at the door for the third time, but it was quiet outside. She sighed and wondered, "Will he come back tonight?"

Hazel couldn't help comforting her when she saw her depressed face, "I have sent a message to him. He will come back as soon as he sees it. Don't worry."

Sharon nodded with a hum.

Hazel changed the subject and praised, "Madam, you are so good at cooking. These dishes look extremely delicious!"

"Nah, I cook whatever I know."

Sharon scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. In the past, his father was always busy working. When she went home and finished her homework, she was so hungry that she couldn't

bear it, so she cooked herself. At that time, Shawn often despised her cooking, commenting that it was either too salty, or she added in too much vinegar.

Although Shawn despised her cooking every time, he would eat all the food she cooked even if it was not delicious.

When she thought of Shawn, her heart began to ache and she felt that she could not breathe smoothly.
