When Jimmy said those words, he gnashed his teeth. Last night, he was plotted by her, and this morning he woke up with a cold. Besides the burning sensation in his throat, he felt sore all over.
Suddenly, Edward realized that the young couple had quarreled with each other. It seemed that Ariah had tortured Jimmy last night.
At that moment, Edward couldn't help but feel that Ariah was really a heroine. No one dared to provoke Captain Hudson at the police station, but it turned out that he was tortured by Ariah at home.
"I'm talking to you!"
After Jimmy finished, Ariah still sat there leisurely and had her breakfast. It made Jimmy furious.
It was as if he had punched hard into cotton, and he couldn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
However, Ariah gave him a sidelong glance, "What do you want me to say? You were wasted last night. Do I have any other choice besides locking you up? I did that to protect myself."
How dare she said she was trying to protect herself! Was he the beast of flood? Did she have to be so well guarded?
Furiously, Jimmy threw away the jacket in his hand and strode over. As Ariah raised her head to look at Jimmy, he forced out a sentence and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to restore the marriage or not?"
Tve told you the answer, haven't I? I don't want to!"
"You..."
After taking a deep breath, Jimmy suddenly smiled, "Ariah, don't you know who I am? I am capable of making some things happen even if you don't show up."
Then, Ariah's expression changed, "What are you trying to say?"
"What I meant was, even if you don't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, I have the ability to restore the marriage!"
For a moment, Ariah was taken aback. In fact, he was right because he really had the ability to do that. If he just dropped by and used some connections, they would probably be a legally married couple again.
However...
"What is the point of that?" Without any expression, Ariah looked at him and uttered, "There's a knot in my heart that would never be untied. Even if I'm tied together with you, do you think we will be able to continue living like this?"
Meanwhile, Jimmy had his gaze fixated on her. A moment later, he finally said, "Fine, you win." Then he left with a dark expression.
In the meantime, Edward followed him all the way downstairs. When he saw that Jimmy, who was walking ahead, had a gloomy face and was obviously suppressing his anger, Edward didn't know what to say.
It wasn't until the car had driven far away that Jimmy frowned and asked, "Where are we going?" "Ah?" Tongue-tied for a moment, Edward asked, "Aren't... we supposed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
Immediately, Jimmy glared at him from the corner of his eye. "Civil Affairs Bureau? What for? Am I'm going to register with you?"
"No, no...” Embarrassedly, Edward explained, "Didn't you say earlier that even if Ariah doesn't come to the Civil Affairs Bureau, you can still restore the marriage, that's why I..."
That was why he drove in the direction of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Hearing Edward's explanation, Jimmy narrowed his eyes. After a while, he said in a low voice, "She's right. There's no point in that. I don't believe that I can't make her restore the marriage."
"So... we're not going to the Civil Affairs Bureau anymore?"
With a snort, Jimmy said, "Just wait and see. I will make sure that she registers with me willingly."
Meanwhile, Stanley had woken up and realized that he was at an unfamiliar place. The bed he was in was unfamiliar, and the atmosphere was unfamiliar as well. There was even a young girl next to him.
The little girl seemed to have woken up a long time ago. As soon as she saw his movement, she immediately got up from the bed and stammered, "S-Sir, you're awake?"
For a long time, Stanley's mind was blank before he regained his own voice and spoke, "Don't tell me that I had slept with you last night?"
With a red face, the little girl bit her lip and turned her face away as she nodded and said, "Y-Yes, indeed."
Suddenly, Stanley's eyes turned fierce. "Do you know what will happen if you lied to me?"
Startled by him, the young lady stammered and was on the verge of tears. "You were wasted last night. I'm sure you don't remember anything. I... I really didn't... lie to you..."
To make a man feel guilty toward a woman would be more effective than anything else.
Didn't those scumbags who cheat on their wife treat their wife very well? Whenever their wife said something, they wouldn't dare to disobey it, and it was clearly mentality caused by guilt.
Meanwhile, Anthony was stunned when he saw that Stanley was still wearing yesterday's clothes when he came to pick him up.
Was it that boss didn't go home the whole night?
Although he was curious, he also knew that some questions just couldn't be asked.
When Stanley lowered his body and got into the car, his face seemed very unpleasant.
"Boss, are you heading home?"
"No. I'll go to the hotel first. I'll take a shower while you go get me another set of clothes."
Hurriedly, Anthony nodded.
In the process of driving to the hotel, Anthony kept looking back at the rear mirror. Irritated, Stanley looked at him and said, "Focus on driving!"
Awkwardly, Anthony pointed at Stanley's shirt. "Boss, there's a lipstick on your collar..."
The moment Anthony finished his words, he regretted it. What was the point of him talking so much? A good employee should not say anything to expose their boss!
For a moment, Stanley's body stiffened before he said indifferently, "If this matter reaches Sharon's ears, don't even think about keeping your job anymore. Do you understand me?"
"Yes, I understand."
Immediately, Anthony nodded his head continuously.
