Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 700

For a long time, Emily continued to curse Lennon until she felt her mouth became dry. However, he did not react at all.

It was until then that she felt defeated.

Meanwhile, Lennon's expression was the same as ever. When he saw that she had stopped cursing him, he asked again, "So are you leaving or not?"

"No, I won't leave with you!"

Agitated, Emily shouted at him.

Then, Lennon's face slowly darkened as he walked towards her with a sharp gaze.

Terrified, Emily immediately took a few steps back.

As Lennon stopped in front of her, he said in a cold voice, "Ariah and Jimmy had treated you so well, and Nicole even helped you to escape from my villa. The three of them had been all extremely nice to you, so how could you be so willful and ignore their safety?"

Taken aback, Emily muttered, "What do you mean..."

"If you don't go with me, I'll call Camden and notify him. If Camden were to be prepared, Jimmy

would definitely be killed. Don't you think Ariah would be sad about Jimmy's death? As for Nicole, she was hoping that Jimmy would come to save her. In the end, Jimmy came, but he died because of her. Besides, her disobedience would definitely anger Camden. So, do you think she will be punished by Camden for it?"

Calmly, Lennon told Emily the advantages and disadvantages of her decision in an understated manner, as if he was discussing the weather with her.

Immediately, she felt a chill run down her spine.

It was so terrifying, and Lennon was so abominable!

It had been a long time since Ariah waited outside the door, but she didn't hear any loud noise from the bedroom.

Just as she wondered how did the couple manage to communicate peacefully, she suddenly heard Emily's agitated curses from inside the bedroom.

When Ariah tried to eavesdrop, she realized it was just some simple curses, like 'b*stard'.

Although Emily was cursing at Lennon, there was clearly a hint of fear in her voice.

Worriedly, Ariah wondered if they were to start a fight.

Even though she had the intention of barging in, after a second thought, in the end, she still didn't open the door.

In fact, Lennon wouldn't go as far as to be angry at Emily just because of those vulgar words.

As expected, after a few curses from Emily, there was a sudden silence.

"Why are they no longer talking?"

As soon as Ariah muttered, the door in front of her suddenly opened.

Too late to hide, she was caught by Lennon's deep gaze, and she scratched her nose in embarrassment.

After all, it was not a matter of honor to eavesdrop.

Fortunately, Lennon came out of the room with a faint expression and ignored what he saw. "Miss Myers, I'm sorry to bother you for such a long time. Thank you for your coffee, but I shall make a move first."

"Oh, okay. Take care. I won't be seeing you off then."

Subconsciously, she replied.

After a while, Emily followed Lennon out of the bedroom with red eyes, and she seemed pitiful. "Ariah, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself, okay?"

Surprised, Ariah looked at Lennon, who had already arrived at the entrance.

Did he actually managed to convince Emily?

And she was willing to follow him home?

That was unbelievable!

What did the both of them discuss in the room?

Immediately, Ariah held Emily's hands and asked in a soft voice, "Emily, did he force you to leave with him?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Emily shook her head. "No, he didn't force me. I was the one who was willing to leave with him."

The thing was, Ariah didn't believe Emily because what she had just said sounded too fake.

Tightly, Ariah held onto Emily's hand. "If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. I'll protect you. I don't believe that he can do anything to us under broad daylight."

In fact, Emily did not expect that Ariah would say such a thing, and she was moved.

The more Emily thought about it, the more she knew that Ariah and Jimmy couldn't be hurt because of Emily's waywardness.

So, she had to leave.

"It's not worth it. I know how bad he is, and he can do anything to get what he wants. I'm willing to go with him. Besides, he's so powerful that even if I managed to escape today, I would still be found by him by tomorrow."

This was why Emily took advantage of this opportunity to leave with Lennon. Especially now that he was in a good mood, and he didn't want to make a fuss with her.

When Ariah heard Emily's explanation, she didn't know what to say.

Because what Emily said was right.

Then, Emily let go of Ariah's hand and walked toward the entrance. After Emily put on her shoes, she lifted her teary face and said, "I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to meet you again in the future, but I'll miss you."

Those words made Ariah feel a little sad, "Hey, what nonsense are you spouting? Why are you saying as if you won't be able to return once you leave? Now that the transportation is so convenient, if you want to come and see me in the future, you can just buy a ticket and directly take a flight over."

At that moment, Emily nodded in agreement and did not say anything else because she knew in her heart that she might not be able to meet Ariah in the future.

In fact, she might die in Lennon' hands.

After Ariah watched the lift door close, she stood frozen for a long time before she slowly returned to her unit.

Although she didn't know what Emily was afraid of, she felt that Lennon didn't have any ill intentions towards Emily.

In fact, she even felt that Lennon had a tiny bit of feelings toward Emily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so concerned about her.

When Ariah returned to her unit, she sat on the sofa in a daze.

A few moments ago, the atmosphere at her place was still noisy and lively, but now she was the only one left.

With Emily there to talk to her, she could stop herself from thinking about Jimmy. However, now that everything quietened down, she could not help but think about nonsense.

The fact that Jimmy had been searching for Nicole for so many years, and today, Jimmy finally received news of her.

What would happen between Jimmy and Nicole in the future?

In Jimmy's heart, Nicole must still be more important than her...

Earlier, Jimmy actually left her behind at the Civil Affairs Bureau and went to find Nicole. That had proven how Nicole was more important...

Suddenly, Ariah's lips curled into a mocking smile. Since Jimmy had abandoned her, he'd better forget about having another chance with her again in the future.

If Ariah were to be cruel, even she would be afraid of herself.

That night, Ariah was the only one in the empty house, and she was sitting on the couch, watching television.

The show on the television was full of laughter, but she couldn't laugh at all.

As time passed by, and it was time for her to go to bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

After a while, Ariah looked at the time, and it was already eleven o'clock.

However, there was no news from Jimmy at all, and he didn't make a single phone call.

Then, Ariah turned off the television, returned to her room, and went to bed.

However, she lay in bed, tossed and turned, but she still couldn't fall asleep. Then, she looked at the ceiling with her eyes full of unwillingness.

Finally, Ariah gritted her teeth and took out her phone to give Jimmy a call.

"This would be the last call. From then onward, I will not care about him anymore."

Although she thought so in her heart, at the same time, she felt that she was good for nothing. Clearly pissed at Jimmy, but she still could not help but worry.

However, when the line managed to get through, Ariah was disappointed.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable..."

Immediately, she threw her phone aside and let out a bitter laugh as she pulled the blanket over her head and went to bed.

When Ariah woke up the next day, she went to check her phone immediately. As a result, there was no phone call, no texts, and nothing else on the phone, just like last night.

In a daze, she lay in bed for a while, then slowly got up to freshen up.

After washing up, she had a simple breakfast and took her time to go to the office.

In the morning, the staff in the hospital had a meeting as they were approaching the year-end. In fact, some of the colleagues had even begun to take their annual leave.

Since she had been asking for leave too many times recently, she took the initiative to tell the leader that she was willing to be the last one on the list to take her annual leave.

Anyway, she had nothing to do, and it was better for her to be on duty.
