Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 715

Ariah lied without blinking an eye, "He wanted to come, but an emergency came up, and he needed to deal with it, so he had to miss our dinner. He asked me to send his regards to you guys."

Only then did Felix's face lit up slightly.

Normally, Lindsey would mock Ariah at times like this, but now she could only bury her face in her plate saying nothing.

Ariah was in a good mood. It seemed like Dakota's method worked.

After dinner, Dakota secretly asked Ariah, "Sweetie, tell me the truth. Did you have a fight with Jimmy?"

"No, we're fine." To not let her mother worry, Ariah had to lie again.

Seeing her smiling, Dakota did not say anything further. Moreover, Ariah looked much happier than before. She did not seem like she was having problems with her relationship, so Dakota decided to stop probing her.

When Felipe was about to leave, Ariah suddenly said, "Felipe, it's so troublesome for you to travel every day to visit me. Why don't you stay at my place? I have an extra room here. You can just bring a few changes of clothes."

Nowadays, she loved to sleep in. Sometimes when Felipe came very early, she had to get up from the bed to open the door for him, and that was very torturous.

Being insensitive as usual, Felipe never once thought that it was weird for a man and a woman to stay together. After listening to what Ariah said, he nodded. "Yeah, I also think it's very troublesome to come here every day. It's so far away from my house and transportation costs are not cheap too. I mean, I can claim the money from Jimmy, but..."

As soon as he said so, he suddenly realized that he made a slip of the tongue. Immediately, he stopped talking.

Stunned for a moment, Ariah narrowed her eyes. "Did Jimmy contact you?"

"Erm..."

"You don't have to hide anything from me. It's not a big secret anyway."

After pondering for a moment, Felipe thought Ariah was right. After all, Jimmy did not ask him to keep it a secret from her. So, he said, "He contacted me once and asked me to take good care of you. He wants me to assist you with anything that you may need and said he'll repay me after he comes back." "How many times did he contact you?"

"Only once. It was a very brief call. He hung up after saying just a few words. He also mentioned that he'll come back once he gets his things done."

Lips curling upwards slightly, Ariah did not say anything else.

He must have called Felipe after she ignored his call last time.

Whatever it was, it no longer had anything to do with Ariah. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She only cared about one thing. "Did you tell him that I'm pregnant?"

Felipe quickly shook his head. "No. You told me not to tell him, so I didn't dare to say anything."

Knowing that she knew hypnotization, Felipe was still somewhat afraid of Ariah. Who knew she might hypnotize him secretly to take revenge on him if he offended her?

Nodding, Aria did not probe further. She leaned against the sofa and watched the television.

Just like that, Felipe stayed in Ariah's apartment. He became her helper, buying the food she craved and escorting her to the hospital for her checkups.

After the holidays ended, Beachmarsh City started bustling again.

Ariah's belly was gradually getting bigger. The sudden change in her body gave her an indescribable feeling.

Every night, she would caress her belly and talk to the baby before going to bed. Over time, she felt more attached to the baby in her tummy.

Afraid that the baby would get hurt, she would even carefully protect her belly with her hands whenever she walked on the street.

One morning, Ariah accidentally fell in the bathroom. Dumbfounded for a few seconds, she felt the pain shooting up her. She lay on the ground and did not dare to move an inch. Shocked, she screamed for Felipe.

At that moment, Felipe was playing video games in the living room. Not realizing something was wrong yet, he answered sluggishly, "What's wrong? Wait a minute, let me finish this game..." "Felipe!" Ariah shouted louder, "Come here quickly.

I fell!"

At first, Felipe was stunned. Then, it occurred to him that she was pregnant. Immediately, he dashed into the bathroom while cursing.

Ariah just got out of the shower, and she fell when putting on her clothes, so she was only halfdressed. When Felipe went in, he saw her lying on the ground, half-naked...

Dumbfounded, Felipe blushed.

Furious, Ariah shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Come here! I can't move!"

When Felipe came back to his senses, his body went stiff, and he dared not to look around. He grabbed a towel and wrapped her up before helping her up.

Ariah took a moment to calm down, but her face was still pale. "Help me get my clothes. Hurry up."

"Oh!" Shaking off Ariah's hand hastily, Felipe grabbed her pajamas and handed them to her.

After taking her pajamas, Ariah lifted her hand and was about to put them on. Startled, Felipe ran outside and slammed the door shut.

Soon after, Ariah was done changing. Then, she shouted again, "Felipe!"

Cracking the door open, Felipe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fully dressed. "Wh-what's the matter?"

"I..." Ariah's lips trembled, but she forced herself to calm down. "I can't walk, and my stomach hurts a little. Can you hail a cab for me?"

She was afraid that something might happen to the baby in her stomach.

Her face looked as pale as a paper under the light.

Noticing her worry, Felipe was shocked. "Don't... don't scare me. Are you okay? Let's go to the hospital now!"

Immediately, he ran over and picked Ariah up. Since he was thin, his legs wobbled as he carried Ariah. After some time, he finally regained his footing.

Lips pale, Ariah kept her hands on her stomach along the way, obviously frightened of what just happened.

Felipe was comforting her. "It's okay. Don't be afraid..."

What they did not notice was that as soon as Felipe got onto the car with Ariah in his arms, another car came to an abrupt stop at the entrance of Ariah's neighborhood.

The next second, a man, who was covered in dirt, jumped out of the car. Shocked, he looked at them leave before cursing under his breath.

At the hospital.

Ariah went through a series of tests. When the doctor told her that the child was fine, tears started falling down her cheeks like raindrops.

"Hey, why are you crying?" Felipe handed her a

tissue.

Ariah was unsure why she felt like crying. She was never a person who loved to cry, but these days, she could feel herself becoming more sentimental and timid.

On her way to the hospital, many terrible thoughts flashed through her mind. She was afraid that she might have a miscarriage...

Seeing her crying non- stop, Felipe was bewildered. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the ward was suddenly kicked open.

The man standing at the door was none other than Jimmy, who was suddenly back after disappearing for a month.
