Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 629

Sitting on a chair, Jimmy sensed someone outside the silent room, so he abruptly lifted his head and looked up at the closed door.

As the door opened, he saw Ariah standing there.

Jimmy turned to look at her.

"Jimmy!"

David and Ben let out a cry.

Jimmy nodded his head in agreement, while his eyes were still fixed on Ariah.

He knew that Ariah would come sooner or later after this incident.

He didn't expect it to be so fast.

Ariah stood there in a daze before she slowly walked over. Her eyes suddenly reddened and her tears almost fell. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her tears and looked straight at him. "The police outside told me that you killed someone?"

In response, Jimmy raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Do you believe them?"

Ariah shook her head. "No, I don't."

She was so firm with her belief that her tone was void of emotions as if it was just something ordinary.

The smile on Jimmy's face thus became brighter.

In a gruff voice, he said, "Come here."

As Ariah walked over, he stretched out his hand and touched her face. He stared at her intently and consoled her, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

How could he say that he'd be fine? Ariah knew that he was trying not to make her worry, so her eyes reddened again. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Jimmy looked at Ben, who then responded very quickly. "Have a seat, Ariah."

"OK."

Ariah suppressed her emotions and sniffed opposite Jimmy.

Holding her small hand, Jimmy felt that her hands were as cold as ice, so he frowned and said, "David, go get a glass of warm water."

"Sure."

David thought that the water was for Jimmy, so he quickly fulfilled his request.

As for Ariah, her mind was fixated on Jimmy, "What was going on? How did you get involved in this matter? Tell me now. I want to know the truth."

Before Jimmy could speak, David had already come in with a cup. "Here's the water."

However, to his surprise, Jimmy pushed the cup to Ariah. "Drink it."

How would Ariah be in the mood to drink water right now? She only wanted to know the truth. "I'm not thirsty..."

"You should still drink some water to warm your body," Jimmy responded in an overbearing manner.

Ariah knew his temper and couldn't do anything with him, so she could only drink slowly from the cup.

A few sips of the water soon made her feel warmer.

David, who had been standing aside, suddenly glanced at the cuffs on Jimmy's feet from the corner of his eyes. As his face became darker, he barked, "F*ck, how could those people do this to you?"

When Ben looked in his direction, he was also infuriated.

Ariah was confused at first, but when she saw the cuffs, her expression also changed while her hand holding the cup was trembling.

She had been in a hurry before this and didn't notice that the cuffs.

This was utterly an insult to Jimmy!

As angered spiked, David yelled, "Who do these b*stards think they are? Don't worry. I will think of a way to free you now."

"Come back here."

Jimmy's faint voice sounded behind him.

David had just taken two steps away when he heard the words. Turning his head in confusion, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm not in a hurry. What are you worried about?" Jimmy looked at him. "How could you do this here? This area is not under our jurisdiction."

"But Jimmy..."

"I'm fine," Jimmy interrupted him. "There's no need to feel sad for me." As he spoke, he lifted his leg, and the iron chain creaked. "This is the rule. It's not a big deal."

"Yes, you are right." David could only come back unwillingly.

After thinking for a moment, Jimmy ordered, "Ben, please go out with David for a while."

Knowing that his leader had something to tell Ariah, Ben quickly replied, "Okay, we will leave now. Please call us if you need anything."

"OK."

After David and Ben went out, Jimmy said, "Ariah, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Go ahead."

Upon pondering for a long time, he uttered word by word, "I did kill someone..."

Ariah's body swayed as disbelief flashed across her eyes. Her face was pale as she shook her head, "Did you kill Kobi? That's impossible."

Jimmy's eyes were burning with intent emotions. "Those policemen saw it with their own eyes. When they barged into the room, I was holding a knife in my hand. They have solid evidence in their hands."

Ariah bit her lips and shook her head, "I don't believe it. There's no way you would kill Kobi."

Sometimes, eyewitnesses might not be fully reliable.

While he was staring at this woman who believed in him, his eyes gradually became unfathomable. "Ariah, it's a right choice to marry you."

The sudden confession caused Ariah to be stunned for a moment. Then, her face turned red as she responded, "How could you say such a thing now?"

Jimmy chuckled. "There's something more shocking in my mind now. Do you want to know it?"

Ariah glared at him.

How could Jimmy be like this? Did he know what kind of situation he was in right now? How could he still joke as if nothing had happened?

If he continued to tease her, she would be angry, so he restrained his smile and said, "When the police got there, they saw me killing people."

Shaking her head, Ariah pursed her lips and responded, "I don't believe it!"

Forcing a smile, Jimmy asked, "Ariah, what if it's true?"

Ariah's expression darkened. She looked at him for a moment and repeated, "I don't believe it!"

Jimmy was shocked by the response. When he was about to say something, the closed door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Ariah turned around and saw that it was Mack, who was in a rage.

"Mack..."

Ariah stood up and shouted. Just as she was about to say something else, her father pushed her away and gave Jimmy a tight slap.

A crisp sound rang across the space.

"Mack, what are you doing?" shouted Ariah.

She then rushed over, trying to protect Jimmy. Mack thus shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"

Ariah shook her head. "Why are you hitting him?"

"I must teach him a lesson. He must have been pampered too much, or else he would never do such a thing now? How dare he kill someone? I must beat this scumbag to death today!"

Instantly, Mack grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at Jimmy. Ariah was shocked and immediately held Jimmy in his arms to block the cup for him.

The warm water left in the cup was thus spilled on Ariah's neck.

Jimmy's expression changed abruptly. He held onto Ariah and shouted, "Ben!"

"Yes, Jimmy?" asked Ben who rushed over.

In a glacial tone, Jimmy ordered, "Please send Mack off now."
