Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 544

Hearing Emily's words, Ariah was stunned.

She would never have imagined that the bruises on Emily were caused by Kobi.

Ariah was stunned for a long time before she slowly regained her wits as she muttered, "W-why did he do this to you? Were you guys... f-fighting? Did he hit you?"

But as far as she knew, Kobi was a gentleman and he would never hit a woman.

Yet, the bruises on Emily proved otherwise.

"No!" Emily's delicate face turned redder as she clarified, "He didn't hit me. It's just that... when we did it, he couldn't help doing this."

What?

Looking at Emily's shy reaction, Ariah immediately got what Emily meant.

Her face turned red instantly and she let go of Emily. Embarrassed, she murmured, "I see... Well, you two seemed to have much fun."

For some reason, her mind drifted back to that day at the Hudson's when she and Jimmy heard the noise coming from Emily's room...

Shoot! What was she thinking!

Ariah shook her head and chased away those thoughts.

Then, thinking of how she had the notion of taking Emily to the hospital just now...

Heavens, she felt even more embarrassing now.

She must be slow-witted today.

On the other hand, growing up abroad, Emily was much open-minded than Ariah and thought that it was normal for Kobi and her to have sex before marriage.

"But Kobi has never done this before. Maybe he just got too excited last night." Emily put on her coat and added, "Anyway, don't you and your husband do this sometimes to enhance sexual pleasure?"

"Of course not!" Ariah blurted out, "How is this enhancing sexual pleasure? It seemed he almost broke your neck!"

Jimmy definitely wouldn't treat her like this. Although sometimes he got excited too, he would still be careful not to hurt her.

He would never do what Kobi did to Emily. Last night he just left a few hickeys on her, which was nothing compared to the marks on Emily.

Nevertheless, Ariah didn't dare to imagine if Emily got more bruises underneath her clothes beside the visible ones.

She never thought that Kobi would do something like this.

"Wait, did you say that he did this yesterday?" Thinking of something, Ariah asked.

Emily nodded. "Yeah, to be frank, I think he was not quite himself yesterday. He called me to the hotel and seemed to be venting on me. I've never seen him acting like this before. Honestly, he scared me a little."

Ariah was stunned. Yesterday... she met with Kobi and told him the truth. When he left, he was apparently very angry, to which Ariah was frightened a little too.

Did Kobi do this to Emily because of her?

"Emily..." With a pause, Ariah grabbed Emily's hand and questioned seriously, "When did Kobi act like that yesterday? Was it during the day?"

"Yeah, how did you know? He called me in the afternoon, and he didn't sound right on the phone..."

Gradually, Ariah's face turned a little pale. She didn't expect that she was indirectly causing Emily to suffer.

"Tsk." Ben curled his lips and added, "Capt., I understand you have no idea about your wife's background. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to check these. I just wanna let you know that it's okay to know nothing about your wife. You don't have to be embarrassed..."

"Are you done talking?"

"Alright, I'm getting out now." Ben quickly left.

After that, Jimmy sat back down on the swivel chair, narrowed his eyes, and wondered where Ariah went to college.

Perhaps someone might know this.

Later, getting off work, Jimmy drove straight to the Myers'. When the maid saw him coming, she was very surprised. "Mr. Hudson, what brings you down here?"

"I'm here to pick up something for Ariah." Jimmy went in straight. "She's been looking for her childhood teddy bear at home but couldn't find it at all, so she asked me to come down to see if it's here."

"I see, come on in and take a seat. I'll go upstairs and find it for you."

"Nah, I can find it myself. You just have to tell me where her room is."

"Um..."

"What's wrong? Is it not a good time?"

Actually, the maid was worried to show him Ariah's former bedroom because it was quite shabby...

Before the maid could say something, a voice rang out from upstairs. "Hey, Jimmy, what brings you here?"

Jimmy turned around and saw Lindsey coming down. She looked joyful to see him.
