Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 618

Ariah was stunned. She couldn't help but widen her eyes at Jimmy.

Was he pretending to be pitiful?

He must be!

She had never seen him like this - he was in a pitiable condition, and his eyes were full of pleading...

How could she possibly refuse him?

Of course, she couldn't.

It melted her heart to see him, who had always been strong, play soft now.

So she cleared her throat and compromised. "Alright, you can come after parking the car..."

"Awesome! Sit tight."

With a smile, he turned on the steering wheel and parked the car.

He found a spot quite fast.

Somehow, Ariah felt that she had been tricked.

Could he have all this planned?

Upon entering the elevator, she could feel Jimmy's intense gaze coming from her back and it was hard to ignore.

On the other hand, Jimmy was leaning against the wall of the elevator and examined her exquisite figure, which he found hard to look away from.

He knew that he insisted on coming up with her because he had wicked thoughts.

But it was only because he hardly got to see her ever since she moved here and it didn't seem like she was going to move back with him anytime soon.

Besides, she hardly intended to ask him to move in together.

If he hadn't insisted on coming up with her, they would probably never get any chance whatsoever to spend the night together.

Furthermore, living apart for a long time wouldn't be good for their relationship.

Thinking about that, Jimmy got serious.

Just then, the elevator doors opened and Ariah immediately walked out with large strides.

She was flustered to be in such a small space alone with him.

Opening her handbag, she then searched for her key, but she couldn't find it.

"What's wrong?"

Jimmy's voice rang out behind her suddenly.

With a jolt, she hurriedly replied, "Nothing..."

Then she finally found the key and opened the door. As soon as she entered the house, she changed her shoes and went straight into the kitchen. "Sit down and I'm gonna boil the water for you."

Jimmy looked at the woman, who was avoiding him, and broke into a smile...

Meanwhile, from the kitchen, Ariah could see his tall figure sitting on her little sofa when she turned her head. Her home was a bachelor's apartment.

So the sofa was quite small too.

Naturally, it was a bit cramped for a man of 1.85 meters to sit there.

Taking a deep breath, Ariah took out a glass of water and went out. "I've put some gingers in it to make your body feel warm."

Jimmy took the glass without saying anything.

Then, she sat opposite him and said, "You should watch out if Kobi really wants to hypnotize you."

However, he just leaned on the sofa lazily. "This is not something that I could control."

"Well, you just have to keep vigilant. That way, it'll be difficult for him-"

Seeing his careless expression, she couldn't help but snapped, "Hey, are you listening?"

She was quite helpless at his indifferent attitude.

"Don't worry too much. What's coming will come and we'll just have to meet it when it does." Then, he patted the spot beside him. "Come sit here."

Ariah shook her head because, right now, the way he looked at her was kind of dangerous.

"Yeah, but still, it's involving your life and you should at least pay some attention to it!"

Hearing that, Jimmy suddenly asked in a serious manner, "Will you be sad if I die one day?"

Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Stop cursing yourself."

With a shrug, he said, "Well, we don't know when well die, do we?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" She glared at him.

He just smiled and put down the glass, then went back to his solemn look. "Last time, you told Ben that not everyone could get hypnotized and only those who are not strong-willed would fall for it, correct?"

"Yeah." Ariah nodded. "And also, it's easy to get hypnotized when you're in a relaxed state."

A cold smile tugged at Jimmy's lips. When he was drinking with Kobi in the pavilion, he was indeed relaxed.

"So..." Ariah looked him in the eyes and continued, "If you're suspicious of Kobi, then don't ever let your guard down again in front of him as that will give him the chance to hypnotize you."

Those who were hypnotized would enter a state where they would just do whatever the hypnotist told them to do.

With a nod, Jimmy showed that he understood.

And Ariah was relieved when she saw that he had truly listened to her.

Soon, the living room once again descended into silence and she was a little embarrassed. "Well... have you finished drinking your tea?"

Jimmy stared at her. "Why?"

"It's getting late so maybe you should start heading back now..."

She felt that something was about to happen if they continued to be alone like this.

"Are you driving me away?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows at her.

"If that's what you think, then yeah."

"What if I don't wanna leave?"

Frowned, she looked at him and asked, "Didn't you say that you're just here to drink something?"

"Yeah, but I never said when I will leave." He found it amusing.

Hearing that, Ariah was quite speechless.

She should've known that!

Being fooled, she was now angered. "Please leave. I'm gonna rest soon."

Tomorrow, she still had to get up early to work.

However, he sat still and insisted, "I want to stay."

Her heart raced when she was stared upon by him. Quickly, she got up and wanted to push him out, but then a bolt of lightning flashed outside the window and thunder sounded.

"Ah!"

She was startled.

"Don't be scared."

Hugging her, Jimmy couldn't help laughing. "It's just thunder."

Ariah pushed him and wanted to get out of his embrace. "I... I wasn't scared!"

Still, her arms were weak.

To be honest, she was scared just now. The thunder reverberated without warning as if it was just above her head.

Jimmy glanced at her pale face and agreed.

"Yeah, I can see that."

Somehow, she could sense mockery in his tone.

He must be mocking at her!

Just then, another rumbling sound rang out and she swallowed hard, asking, "Why is there thundering all of a sudden?"

Jimmy whispered, "Maybe it's God's plan for me to stay." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

What a shameless man!

Nevertheless, the following event occurred almost naturally. Ariah was brought to the bedroom by him eagerly. It was as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"Wait a moment..."

Being seized under him, she couldn't move at all and her clothes were torn apart.

Hearing her words, Jimmy frowned and asked hoarsely, "What are we still waiting for?"

He couldn't wait any longer at all.

His body was desiring for her.
