Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 726

The bedroom was very quiet except for Jimmy's breathing.

Trapped in his embrace, Ariah couldn't move at all.

Jimmy held her waist with one hand and touched her belly with the other gently.

After moving a little and realizing that she had no way of breaking free, she stopped moving and snarled coldly, "Can you leave after touching it. I need to rest now."

"Sleep then." Jimmy huffed his breath directly at her neck that tickled her. "I'm just caressing my son."

Son?

Ariah smirked inwardly. What if it was a girl?

How could he be so sure that the baby was a son?

If it were in the past, she would have said it out loud, but she didn't feel like talking to him now, so she held back.

Sensing that she was still not in a good mood, Jimmy stopped caressing her tummy, turned her around, and asked, "Are you still mad at me and Nicole? It was an accident."

Ariah looked down quietly.

Honestly, the airport incident didn't bother her much. She wouldn't suspect Jimmy and Nicole based on Lindsey's photo alone.

It was just that...

"Although hugging is considered an act of intimacy, there are a few types of hugs. I take Nicole as my sister, so the hug is more like a big brother hugging his little sister. Besides, don't you think it's unfair to judge me based on one photo?"

Ariah remained silent.

Frustrated, Jimmy wanted to pry her mouth open and made her say something. "What did I do wrong? Can you tell me?"

Ariah finally talked, "You didn't do anything wrong."

"What's bothering you then?" Jimmy frowned.

"Nothing." Ariah looked at him blandly.

Jimmy felt as if he had encountered the most difficult problem in the world. She claimed that she was okay, but the emotions in her gaze proved otherwise. It was obvious that she was rejecting him.

So, when a woman said she was not angry, was she telling the truth or lie? Suddenly, he felt like his intelligence was being challenged.

Uneasy, Jimmy tried again, "Are you really not angry?" "No." Ariah smiled.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's get married then."

"Jimmy..." Ariah emerged from his embrace, still as calm as before. "Didn't I tell you that if you leave, I won't remarry you?"

Hearing that, Jimmy was completely dumbfounded. "So you're angry with this? But you said nothing was bothering you."

Taking a deep breath, Ariah relented, "It doesn't matter, and seriously, I'm not angry at all. I'm over you and don't want to be with you again."

"Bullsh*t!" he cursed out loud.

"You don't want to be with me anymore? Who do you want to be with then? You'd better stay with me for the rest of your life and don't even think about going anywhere!"

If she had another lover out there, he would definitely kill him!

Ariah felt that ever since she was pregnant, her emotions had been easily affected. When Jimmy shouted at her, she felt increasingly annoyed too.

They just couldn't communicate at all!

Ariah pushed him away forcefully and got up to leave.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the window followed by a bright light that cast into the bedroom through the open window.

Ariah was startled.

Then, there was another series of loud explosive noises.

She turned around and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

As if she was mesmerized, she walked to the window and watched the fireworks in the sky.

Jimmy came to her side and looked at her lovingly. "Do you like it?"

Shocked, Ariah stammered, "l-lt's you?"

"I asked David to help me out." Jimmy looked at the light in her eyes and smiled. "The flowers are a compensation, so are these."

"Compensation... for what?" Ariah asked, confused.

"I wasn't around during Thanksgiving, and I missed the chance to celebrate it with you. It's too bad that I don't have a time machine to turn back time, so this is all I can do to cheer you up." Jimmy took her hand, stroking it gently. "We can watch the replay of the Thanksgiving football game, or well watch your favorite movies together. Let's take it as I'm recelebrating Thanksgiving with you. What do you say?"

So it turned out that he was trying to make it up to her for Thanksgiving.

Not knowing what to say, Ariah only stared blankly at the dazzling and beautiful fireworks exploding in the air.

As Jimmy watched her, he started to get anxious again since she didn't say a word. "What are you thinking?"

Sitting still by the window, she looked up at the night sky, her eyes full of light. "Thinking about the day of Thanksgiving. There were people lighting fireworks by the beach, and it was so beautiful. Felipe was beside me. The fireworks were more beautiful than tonight."

Crunch!

That was the sound of Jimmy's heart shattering.

He frowned indignantly and gritted his teeth. "Felipe again? Do you really like that kid?"

Ariah glanced at him. "He is young, but he is very warm- hearted and thoughtful. Why can't I like him?"

As soon as she said that, Jimmy's expression was so gloomy that even the dazzling fireworks outside could not hide the coldness in his eyes. "I'll kill him if you mention him again!"

Ariah moved her mouth but held her words in. "You are being ridiculous."

"I tried my best to please you, but all you think of is another man?" Jimmy tried to restrain himself from doing something stupid.

Ariah clearly felt that he was angry but didn't back down as she continued, "Are you annoyed now? Are you frustrated? I told you before that you'll be fed up with me one day since I've always treated you coldly..."

"Annoyed? No! I'm not annoyed at all!" Jimmy cut her off as if he could guess what she was going to say next. "Do you think I don't know what you're doing? Provoking me so that I'll give up on this relationship? It won't happen! You can go on like this for as long as you like. Let's see who's going to compromise first!"

Ariah opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

She had underestimated him.

It was unbelievable that he could tolerate even this.

With that, Ariah was so exasperated that she was speechless. She wanted to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.

In the end, she pulled her hand out of his hand and turn to leave. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Staring at her back as she left, Jimmy grabbed his phone and called David. "That's enough."

On the other side of the town, David gasped in shock as he was having fun lighting up the fireworks with his colleagues. "That's it? Didn't you say that you want to show Ariah these fireworks? You spent thousands of dollars on it!"

She had left! What was the point?

Jimmy drew the curtains agitatedly. "I said that's enough. You can go back now."

However, David persuaded, "But the next fireworks are gonna be so romantic. Are you sure you want to stop now?"

"I said that's enough! Cut the cr*p and go home! It's noisy!"

Shocked, David went silent.

It was Jimmy who came up with the idea of the surprise fireworks display and intended to propose to Ariah again afterward. In fact, he specifically warned them not to mess this up or he would make them pay.

And now he was telling him that it was noisy?

Annoyed, David snorted.

His colleagues who were shivering in the cold wind asked weakly, "David, is Captain's proposal going to happen or not? It's so cold out here!"

David waved his hand dejectedly. "Nah, there won't be any proposal. Let's pack these up and go home."

The young policemen, who were shivering violently, were all donning a wry expression. It seemed that the captain was in a bad mood today, which meant they would have to suffer his wrath

tomorrow.
