Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 387

"But... he had never done anything to hurt me. In fact, he saved me the first time I met him." At that moment, Ariah didn't know why Jimmy resisted Ricco so much. "He might have a very complicated background, or maybe he did do some shady things, but it's a fact that he once saved my life."

At this point, Jimmy's face turned dark again. When Ariah realized he was about to get angry, she decided not to provoke him any further as she was afraid that he might go back on his words.

So she immediately changed the topic and said softly, "But I'll listen to your advice, and I'll try to stay as far as I could from him. After all, we're just acquaintances."

Only now did Jimmy's expression become much more relaxed.

"Let's go then." After that, Ariah opened the door and got out.

Meanwhile, Jimmy sat in the car and stared at her figure for a moment. There was a flash of gloom in his eyes. In the end, he closed his eyes as a sign of defeat, took out his documents, and went down with her.

Both of them were shocked when they arrived at the divorce registration office. There seemed to be many couples who wanted a divorce today.

It made Ariah a little speechless. Was getting a divorce a trend now?

However, Jimmy was expressionless. Among the crowd, he was the tallest, and his strong figure made appearance seemed outstanding. Although he was casually standing there, his temperament was unparalleled.

In a daze, Ariah stared at him. As a woman, she was still attracted by his charming temperament, although they were about to divorce.

But it was just a little indulgence that she had because, after the affair that he had, her feelings for him had gradually faded.

If he didn't cheat on her, she would've stayed by his side till the end of her life. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

However, these were all the thoughts that she had in the past.

Since he had already let her down, there was no reason for her to be reluctant to leave.

After they filled out the application forms, the two began to line up. There were too many people, and the long line went up to the corridor.

Silently, Ariah stood there as she thought to herself how long they would have to wait since there was such a long queue.

Meanwhile, Jimmy, who was right behind her, didn't say a single word from the moment he entered. Instead, he stared straight at Ariah with a burning gaze. There were a few times when Ariah accidentally met his gaze, but she didn't even dare to look at him right in the eye.

Things got even worse when it was lunch break after they have waited for a long time, and there was only one staff member who was on duty by then.

In the end, those staff actually went out for lunch, and their half an hour of waiting had gone to waste.

It left Ariah with nothing to say.

In fact, she wanted to swear!

However, Jimmy said nonchalantly, "Why are you standing there like a fool? Come here and have a seat."

Then, he pulled her to one side as the two of them sat there awkwardly and waited for their turn.

As time passed, Ariah had no idea why she was getting more annoyed. Despite that, Jimmy seemed to be laid back, and he even had a relaxed expression on his face.

Finally, Ariah couldn't hold it in any longer as she lowered her voice and said, "Hey, can't you use your identity as an officer to get us through any shortcuts?"

Surprised, Jimmy looked at her and asked, "A shortcut? What shortcut do you mean?"

"I mean, your department is somehow related to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so I'm sure you can ask someone else to help us find a way and let the staff first complete our divorce procedure, right? What do you think?"

Otherwise, if they were to continue to wait like this, when would they be able to get it done and over with?

When Jimmy heard her words, he snorted and said, "You're thinking too much. We are completely two different departments, and we're not even related!!"

That answer left Ariah at a loss for words.

"Besides, I have always been honest and faithful with my duties. I certainly don't want to do such things." Then, Jimmy glanced at her and continued, "It's either you wait patiently or come again another day. It's up to you."

If he had always been honest and faithful, why did he cheat on her?

With this argument stuck in Ariah's throat, she tried so hard to hold them back and managed not to say them out loud!

Then, she decided to continue and wait patiently.

After Ariah put away those thoughts, she snorted, "Anyway, I'm on leave right now, so I can wait, but things are different for you, Officer Hudson. You have work to do, and you might be called for work anytime later!"

However, Jimmy didn't pay attention to her while he sat with his eyes closed as if he was taking a nap.

It made Ariah so furious.

Suddenly, a couple that sat next to them started to quarrel, and their language was impassioned and out of control. The two started to reveal each other's shortcomings as they swore and said unpleasant things loudly. The man even went too far as he began to reveal that he had an affair with another woman, "It's not my fault that I cheated on you. Why can't I find another woman who is prettier than you? Look at your figure. You are so fat. Other women remain the same after giving birth, but why are you so fat? Do you even know how disgusting it is for me to hug you every day?"

Meanwhile, the woman didn't expect that she would be insulted so unbearably by her husband as she covered her face and cried on the spot, "You ruthless man. I gave birth to three children for you. You said that the C-section was not good for the child, and you made me gone through natural birth even when the doctor said that it was not going well. After that, you said that breastmilk was better than powdered milk, so you told me to eat more so that I can get fatter and produce more breastmilk. Now that you have a mistress, you start to condemn me. What did I do in my life to have married you a beast like you!"

While Ariah looked at the scene, her mouth was agape, as if she was watching a farce.

At the same time, she felt that the man was extremely disgusting. On the contrary, she thought that it was good for that woman to divorce because at least she could get rid of that disgusting man!

When she thought about her relationship with Jimmy, although they had occasional quarrels between them, they had never been to this point!

Even in quarrels, Jimmy would never insult her, let alone say such harsh words like this man.

The couple's argument was so fierce that the security guards had to chase them out.

"I won't mind if you're fat. It'll be more comfortable to hug if you are fatter." At that moment, Ariah felt a sudden warmth in her ear as Jimmy deliberately lowered his voice and spoke. Instantly, she turned her head to glare at him.

However, Jimmy looked at her with a smile and flirted with her as if no one else was around. "My dear Ariah is so beautiful that she almost took my breath away last night."

When Ariah heard those words, her face flushed as she glared at him, "Jimmy!"

Did he even know where he was at? Wasn't he afraid of being heard by others when he said such shameless words?"

Satisfied with her flushed face, Jimmy withdrew his gaze and curled up the corner of his mouth as he leaned back in his chair.

For a long time, Ariah was pissed.

In fact, they originally thought that the office would be in peace after the disturbance by the previous couple was over, but who would've thought that another couple would start to cause a scene?

This time, it was not a huge quarrel, but a reunion of a couple after an enforced separation, and it was a good ending.

Not sure whether they were too emotional or had figured out something, the couple hugged each other and cried for a long time before they went out together. As they left, they said, "Let's not get a divorce anymore. I still love you, hubby." "Well, I love you too, honey."

Ariah watched in silence as the couple left.

Finally...

Just as their eyes were going to be worn out after a long wait, the staff returned from their lunch break.

Immediately, Ariah let out a sigh of relief.

There were only two more couples ahead of them. As Ariah held the related documents tightly in her hands, she was too nervous that she didn't notice the burning gaze behind her.
