Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 390

When Ariah threw the key straight at Jimmy, he didn't dodge, and he stood right where he was without even moving. With a "bang", the sharp corner of the key directly slit a cut in his forehead, but he didn't feel pain at all.

Instantly, Jimmy frowned as he raised his hand and touched the blood on his head.

With the corners of his lips pursed, he picked up the key and clenched his fists.

The words that Ariah said echoed in Jimmy's mind while he smiled bitterly. The marriage between them was supposed to be an alliance, so they had no feelings for each other when they were newly married.

Back then, he was in desperate need of a family, and the Myers Family was also in desperate need of a capable family to rely on, so they had Ariah to marry him.

The two of them got married on the spur of the moment, and it was a marriage without any emotional attachment.

After so many years, they had been living a peaceful and harmonious life. For years, Ariah had always been sensible and liberal. Since she already knew that their marriage was an alliance hence, she never meddled in his matters.

In fact, she had played a very good role as his wife.

Sometimes, Jimmy would even think that the idea of marrying Ariah was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Throughout the past few years in their marriage, she had never once made him worried. No matter how late he returned, she would always take care of him like a good wife. Sometimes, even when he did not return for a few days because he was too busy with work, she didn't even complain.

At first, he didn't think it was a big deal. Later, when he saw his colleague's wife couldn't stand that kind of life and divorced his colleague, it was then that Jimmy came to his senses and felt Ariah had sacrificed a lot for him.

Therefore, even though there was no affection in the marriage between them, Jimmy still treated Ariah extremely well and placed her name under all his assets in hopes to make up for it.

At first, Ariah didn't want his money, but then he forced her to accept it.

Since then, the way she looked at him seemed to have changed. Back then, Jimmy didn't notice it, but now that he thought about it, he felt that Ariah might have had some feelings for him.

That feeling made him feel very comfortable and happy.

However, when he thought of her resolute gaze when she threw the key at him, Jimmy's heart trembled fiercely.

It seemed that this time, she was really mad at him.

For a long time, he stood in place and did not move, as his body hid in the dark corner while loneliness and desolation enveloped him...

Meanwhile, when Sharon left Hazel's place, she received a call from Stanley. As soon as she picked up, he said in a concise voice, "Come downstairs. I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Where are you now?" Startled, Sharon immediately asked.

There was no way that he would suddenly be here, right? In fact, she had been hiding the fact that she came to Hazel's place from everyone, especially Stanley.

As expected, when she walked out of the apartment building, she saw his tall and slim figure that was standing by the car. The long black coat that he wore made him look even more handsome and apathetic. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as Sharon was in a daze, Stanley had already stridden over and took her hand as his brows furrowed, "Why is it so cold?"

Meanwhile, Sharon hadn't come back to her senses as she answered, "I just washed some clothes with cold water..."

As she spoke, she suddenly came to his senses and widened her eyes, "Stanley, why are you here?"

Coldly, Stanley snorted and pulled her into the car. While he warmed her hands, he said in an unhappy tone, "Isn't it better to stay at home? Why did you have to come here to make your life miserable by helping others to wash their clothes?"

However, Sharon was not angry at all. As she looked at his handsome facial features, she smiled and answered, "There is no washing machine at Hazel's house, that's why the clothes can only be hand washed. Since Loria has to cook, I'm the only one who can wash the clothes."

When Stanley heard this, his expression became even more unsightly.

Instantly, Sharon tried to change the subject. "But, how did you find me here? How did you know I'm here?"

"If I hadn't known that what you were doing right now was safe, do you think I would've let you leave the house like this every day?"

In fact, what he said made sense.

So Sharon accepted his explanation.

Although she knew that what she had done in the past few days could not be hidden from him, she still didn't expect that he had already known about it.

"Then what's up with you today? Why did you suddenly come here to find me?" Suspiciously, Sharon was asked.

At that moment, Stanley pursed his lips and spoke after a while, "Shawn disappeared."

With her eyes widened, she asked, "Shawn disappeared? What do you mean?"

"Shawn violated the law because he laundered his company's money to evade taxes. While they were trying to gain more evidence, he was under custody and unable to meet anyone. However, this morning, I received the news that he was missing."

After a simple explanation, Stanley started the car and immediately left.

Slowly, Sharon also came to her senses. In fact, Stanley was afraid that Shawn would come to look for her the moment he escaped, so he purposely came over to pick her up.

"How... how could he have disappeared?" A moment later. Sharon muttered to herself, "Was it true that he laundered the company's money?"

With a deep gaze, Stanley looked at her, "Sharon, Shawn's involvement in this matter is very serious. The reason why he was able to stand firmly in Beachmarsh City over such a short amount of time was that he had fawned over some people by using his company to launder money for them. Now a lot of problems have had been found, I think those people can't stand it any longer. Although I don't know who released him, Shawn is now in danger, and some people want to kill him. Listen to me and don't stay in touch with him. Do you understand?"

Repeated, Sharon nodded her head to show that she understood.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was always silent and depressing. Sharon had never seen such a Stanley. At that moment, his brows were tightly furrowed and his entire body was in a state of alert.

Stealthily, Sharon reached her hand to hold his hand and gave him an invisible strength.

Paused for a moment, Stanley then turned around to look at her. The corners of his mouth twitched as he smiled at her.

When the two of them returned home, Anthony had brought the two children back with him. Immediately, Sadie threw herself into her arms for a long time before she followed her brother to play games.

After Sadie left, Sharon sat on the sofa for a while, then silently got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Meanwhile, Stanley had been on the phone on the balcony with the door closed. As he spoke in a low voice, Sharon couldn't hear what he was saying. However, with his knitted brows and unhappy expression, Sharon knew that he was currently in a very bad mood.

At that moment, Sharon's mind went blank as she stared at the water from the tap. It was just half a month, but she felt as if she had gone through a few years since Shawn, who was highly respected back then, suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he was.

Then, she remembered the call from Shawn back then. At that time, he must have faintly felt that he might not be able to escape this time, so he called her and said those words to her.

Suddenly, Sharon thought of something as she threw away the vegetables in her hand and ran out of the kitchen in a hurry. As soon as she came out, Stanley walked in from the balcony. When he

saw the anxious expression on her face, he was stunned. "What's wrong?"

Since Sharon didn't want the two children to feel nervous, she motioned for him to come over. Then, Stanley suspiciously walked over to her.

"I'm telling you something, but you can't be angry about it."

"What's that?"

"Last time when Ariah was hospitalized, Shawn gave me a call."
