Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 383

However, Ricco was strong, and he was tall as a mountain. Even when Ariah used all her strength, she still couldn't break free. An unfamiliar male aura surrounded her, making her anxious and angry.

"I was just trying to be nice when I invited you to come in and have a seat, but you just had to f*cking take advantage of me, right?" Ariah anxiously yelled, "Ricco, get lost!"

Meanwhile, Ricco smiled and narrowed his eyes at the struggling woman, "Why are you screaming? Did I take advantage of you? I didn't even touch a single hair of yours."

What he said was true. Indeed, he did not touch her. Instead, he hovered his body over hers and forced her onto the couch. If she moved for even a bit, she would've definitely touched him by accident.

The moment Ariah sensed that he had no intention to do anything to her, she instantly calmed down.

Then, she took a deep breath and frowned. "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm helping you."

"You're trying to help me?"

"That's right."

"Help me with what?"

At that moment, Ricco stared at her with his brown eyes, and a weird expression flashed across it. "Don't you want to divorce your husband? I can help you with that. Any man who sees his woman having an affair with another man will definitely not be able to withstand the blow. Besides, you saw his reaction last time, and he almost killed me. In the hospital, the moment I mentioned your name,

he instantly went berserk and wanted to kill me. What do you think would happen if he knew you are dating me? His best option would be to divorce you in a fit of anger..."

In shock, Ariah stared at him. It took her a long time before she spoke, "You... Why do you want to do that?"

"I've said it. I'm trying to help you."

"Then why are you trying to help me?"

They were strangers who met by chance, and they had only known each other for less than a month. Why did he want to help her? It was a question that Ariah couldn't understand.

Meanwhile, Ricco stared at her small and delicate nose and answered casually, "Of course, I also have my own selfish motives."

"What do you want?" Sure enough, he had his own axe to grind.

"You." As Ricco stared straight at her, he answered.

Dumbfounded, Ariah asked, "Me? What do you mean?"

"As long as you divorce your husband, I can pursue you publicly, right?"

"Pft..."

When Ariah heard his question, she laughed and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have feelings for me?"

"Why can't I have feelings for you? You are beautiful, and you have an amazing body. Besides, you're my type, so it's normal for me to have a crush on you."

"I'm sorry." However, Ariah's beautiful eyes curved into a smile as she said, "Thank you for having a crush on me, but I don't like you."

At that moment, Ariah's eyes were exceptionally beautiful. Especially when she smiled, they were bright and charming. At first, Ricco just wanted to tease her, but the more he stared at it, he couldn't help but feel a little star-struck.

"Hello?" Meanwhile, Ariah raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "Although I really want to divorce Jimmy, I won't use any other man to provoke him because it will not be good for him, and it's not fair for you either." After a pause, she continued, "Also, it's fine if you really do have feelings for me. It's just that you have to wait until I get a divorce, then only you can pursue me publicly. Perhaps by the time I heal from my heartbreak, I can try to date you."

At that moment, Ricco was stunned as he stared at her with his dark brown eyes, which flashed with interest. The expression he had seemed as if it was the first day he got to know her.

"Don't stare at me like that. It's creepy." Instantly, Ariah rubbed her shoulders and glared at him, "Get up, now or I will really think you're taking advantage of me!"

However, Ricco's mouth curved into a smile, but he didn't budge.

By now, Ariah was really a little irritated. Anyone who was in such close contact with an unfamiliar man would've felt uncomfortable. After a moment, she frowned, and she was about to take action against him.

However, Ricco, who had been hanging on her, suddenly got up and left.

In the meantime, she heard movements from the hallway. When she looked over in shock, she saw Jimmy standing there, emotionless. Under the cold light, his facial features were abnormally stern, and his lips tightly pursed.

Nevertheless, Ariah wasn't stupid. In the blink of an eye, she could only feel something flashed past her. It was so fast that she couldn't catch it.

Suspiciously, she glanced at Ricco. Although she wanted to ask him something, in the end, she managed to hold it back.

On the other hand, Jimmy had been staring straight at her since he barged in. At first, Ariah felt a little guilty when she saw him glaring at her. Then, when she realized that she did nothing wrong, she glared back at him. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

As if they were playing the 'glaring' game.

With a snort, Jimmy walked toward the living room.

At that moment, Ariah was a little flustered because she was afraid that the two men would start a fight. The scene of the fight between the two guys was still vivid in her mind. Back then, the two of them fought each other desperately with their lives. Now that she thought about it, she still trembled in fear.

But what happened next was beyond her expectation.

In fact, Jimmy was not angry, nor did he got angry. Besides that, he didn't even have the urge to beat Ricco up.

Curiosity filled Ariah's heart.

The three of them fell into a strange silence.

Amidst the silence, Ricco got up and said, "It's getting late. Dear Ariah, you should get an early rest. I'll come again another day."

Dear... Ariah?

Instantly, Ariah felt a chill down her spine. Since when did they become so close?

Although Ariah could not figure out what this man was up to, she did not say anything while she sat there silently and watched him leave.

As soon as the door closed, Jimmy, who was standing in the corner, suddenly moved. With his lips tightly pursed, he walked directly to her with big and heavy steps.

It wasn't until the door closed that Jimmy, who was standing in the corner, finally made his move. Immediately, he walked towards Ariah with big and heavy steps.

The cold and stern gaze of Jimmy was fixated on her all the time.

When Ariah noticed his gaze, she felt her hair stand on end. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

Last time, he broke in all of a sudden, and the two of them didn't even have time to talk properly before the incident of her injury happened, and they were then rushed to the hospital.

At that moment, it was the same thing again, where he suddenly barged in and saw her with Ricco. In fact, he must've made a wild guess about her relationship with Ricco again.

It was up to him to have any thoughts.

Since Ariah no longer cared.

A moment later, Ariah lifted her pretty face, which was smooth and glowing, "Officer Hudson, you do know that it's against the law for you to barge into my place like that, right?"

After that, she reached out her hand and said, "Give me the key!"

In fact, she had no idea know when did he make a replicate of her key. It made her feel insecure because not only did she have no privacy, but she also had to be on tenterhooks, and she would have to worry about when he would suddenly come to her again.

"Did you hear what I said?" Then, Ariah looked at him while he fiddled with a bunch of keys in his hand as she raised her hand and yelled, "Give me the keys!"

However, Jimmy didn't say a single word. Instead, he stood in front of her and looked down at her from above. Suddenly, Ariah felt as if she was surrounded by an invisible aura.

"You want this?" Meanwhile, Jimmy raised the key in his hand and asked slowly.

Immediately, Ariah reached out to grab it, "Give it to me!"

Besides his height that was taller than her, he was also standing. Even if he casually lifted his arm, the key would be hanging midair. How could Ariah possibly snatch it away from him?

Angered, she said, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Without a word, Jimmy's deep gaze landed on her face. As his body slowly leaned downward, a strong male scent hit Ariah's face, and Ariah could only feel her heart racing.
