Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 550

After sending Emily back to the Hudsons', Jimmy was going to leave, but Ella stopped him angrily. "Are you gonna just leave like that without even stopping to talk to me?"

Ariah stood by Jimmy's side awkwardly. It was obvious that Ella wasn't happy to see her.

Meanwhile, Jimmy just replied lazily, "Well, you're receiving guest, so we wouldn't wanna stay long to bother you."

The guest was Jean, which was why Jimmy wasn't happy to stay.

His family did not like Ariah, but they should at least show some respect to her.

Therefore, he couldn't stand them fixing him up with Jean in front of Ariah.

"Stop right there!"

Ella shouted, "If you step out of that door today, don't ever come back again!"

Jimmy frowned. Just then, Ariah pulled his arm and whispered, "I'm starving. Why don't we stay for dinner?"

Knowing that she was trying to ease the conflict, he took a deep look at her and compromised.

Then, Ariah smiled ingratiatingly at Ella and explained, "Please don't blame Jimmy. It was me who wanted to go back early. Initially, he did intend to stay and keep you company."

Ella was a clever woman, so naturally, she understood that Ariah was trying to prevent conflict from being sown between Jimmy and her.

But she just snorted. "Tsk, I know my son. He just doesn't want to stay."

Ella was angry that Jimmy intended to leave without taking some time to catch up with her.

Nevertheless, Ariah continued saying with a smile, "Don't worry. You're his mother. He still cares about you inside."

Hearing that, Ella was happy, though she still sounded discontented. "Don't try to flatter me."

"Nah, I'm not trying to flatter you. In fact, I know you don't like me and that's okay with me."

Ella was surprised by her attitude and gave her a weird look.

Shrugging her shoulders, Ariah turned around to look for Jimmy. When she passed by Jean, she thought for a moment before walking over and saying, "It seems like Jimmy's mother likes you very much." "It's none of your business." Jean rolled her eyes, suspecting that Ariah was here to pick a quarrel with her.

"She doesn't seem quite happy. Perhaps you could try to enlighten her a little." Ariah looked at her with a faint smile. "Don't you want to marry Jimmy? Treat his mom well. Maybe she could help you with that."

Choked at Ariah's words, Jean was speechless.

Her expression was the same as that of Ella, as she gave Ariah a strange look.

Seeing that, Ariah raised her eyebrows. "What? I'm trying to help you there."

Jean gaped at her as she had never seen such a woman who would give their husband away into another woman's arms.

"Pfft..." Coming down from upstairs, Emily just happened to hear what Ariah had said and couldn't help laughing.

Instantly, Ariah noticed that she had changed into warmer clothes and smiled. "Good for you! These clothes are good-looking and yet they keep you warm."

Emily circled Ariah's arm, curious about what had just happened. "Who's that woman? I don't like her. She's like a third wheel." "I don't like her either."

"Then why did you ask her to please Jimmy's mother?"

"Silly girl, I was just saying. Pleasing Ella doesn't necessarily guarantee that Jimmy will fall in love with her." Ariah chuckled.

Moreover, Ariah and Jimmy's relationship was quite stable now, so she wouldn't worry about Jimmy finding another woman.

Hearing that, Emily was surprised a little before she nodded along.

Quickly, Jimmy smiled and apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have upset you, although I don't think I'm wrong in standing up for my wife."

"You'd better stop talking to me, or I'll get angry again," said Ella upon taking a few deep breaths.

Jimmy just sighed. "Oh well, it seems that you really need to cool down. Why don't we continue after you calm down?"

"What's there to talk about?" Ella gave him a glare.

"Well, we better talk this through today because I don't want Ariah to feel awkward again in coming next time."

Knowing that he meant it, Ella fell silent for a long while before asking, "Do you really wanna get back together with her?"

With a look of determination, Jimmy nodded.

Ella frowned. "What's so good about her? You should take a look at other women too. Maybe they're even better than her."

"Other women? Like Jean?" Jimmy laughed. "Mom, I'm telling you seriously now. I wouldn't fall in love with Jean, ever. So stop fixing me up with her."

Right away, Ella's face turned pallid as she realized that her son really took no interest in Jean.

"Ariah is a good girl." Jimmy straightened up, getting serious. "I've told dad about this before. You two should accept Ariah as my wife sincerely. Otherwise, I'm afraid we don't have much to talk about anymore."

Hearing her son's words, Ella was shocked.

Jimmy then added, "Mom, you're smart. I know you'll make the right choice between making me your enemy or having a happy family."

After he said that, he turned around and left, leaving Ella to think about this matter alone.

Ella looked at her son's back and stood rooted to the ground for a long time.
