Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 709

"He'll be fine." Felipe looked at her as if there was nothing to worry about. "He got backup."

Stunned, Ariah asked, "Who?"

"I think they're his best friends. They're soldiers." Felipe looked envious. "Those people are awesome. They came here with a heavily armored car. They even have cannons, and they blew up the villa's roof just now."

Felipe described every detail to her. "The two loud bangs you heard earlier were the sounds of cannons. Jimmy is well prepared. He will be fine."

It took Ariah some time to figure out that the person who Felipe mentioned was Jackson King.

Brother King was very well-regarded. Ariah had heard of him many times but hardly met him.

Tough and unyielding, Jackson had many outstanding military achievements. Even Mack treated him politely every time they meet each other. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

With his help, Ariah could rest assured.

Ariah, who was no longer worried, followed after Felipe. A car was parked by the side of the road. Felipe motioned Ariah to get on so that they could leave.

Shaking her head, Ariah said, "Since I'm in safe hands now, I want to wait for him here."

"But Jimmy asked me to take you back to town!"

"I won't leave. You can go ahead if you want to."

"Hey, why are you so stubborn?!"

Ariah did not bother to argue with him. Leaning against the car, she stared in the direction of the villa.

Left with no choice, Felipe waited with her. She looked at him and said, "You're not leaving?"

"I can't leave if you're not leaving. Forget it. I'll wait here with you. It's safe here anyway. If someone comes, well know, and we can leave right away."

Ariah asked, "Were you with Jimmy for the past few days?"

As soon as Felipe heard the question, he blurted out, "How did you know that?"

Feeling Ariah's angry stare, Felipe quickly jumped away from her. "Wait, let's talk things through before you start hitting me. I have never intended to lie to you. Jimmy was the one who didn't allow me to tell you..."

Taking a deep breath, Ariah asked, "Why didn't he contact me first?" "Ahem, I'm not in the position to talk about this.

Why don't you ask him later?" Felipe scratched his head.

"Was he with Nicole the whole time?"

"Yes. Miss Hart didn't have a place to go, so she was with us the whole time."

In fact, Felipe still felt a little guilty. When Ariah called him a few days ago, he was in the same room with Jimmy. However, Ricco ordered him to keep his mouth shut, so he had to lie to her.

Seeing her suddenly bringing this topic up, she must have noticed something wrong.

Felipe was on tenterhooks, but Ariah kept silent for quite some time. He looked at her and realized that she was spacing out. It seemed like she was in deep thoughts.

Suddenly, the sound of the car's engine rang out. It was then that Ariah snapped back to her senses.

Turning around at the same time, Felipe and Ariah saw a woman getting out of the car behind them.

The woman was beautiful. She had big and bright eyes, but she was achingly thin. It seemed like she was ill.

Intuition told Ariah that the girl was Nicole, so she asked Felipe, "Is that Nicole Hart? The girl who had been staying with you guys for the past few days?"

Once again, Felipe was surprised. "Besides hypnotizing, you can also read minds, right?"

So that was indeed Nicole. Ariah's expression slowly darkened.

Nicole nodded and greeted Felipe when she saw him. Then, she looked at Ariah for a while before slowly saying, "You're Jimmy's wife, right?"

Ariah remained expressionless. "No. We got divorced a long time ago."

Upon hearing that, Nicole was stunned. She did not expect to hear such an answer from her. "Jimmy didn't tell me about the divorce. You two..." Then, she thought it was not a good idea to ask about their personal matters, so she changed the topic and looked at Felipe. "Is Jimmy still in the villa?"

Felipe nodded. "Yes. I think it's going to take quite some time until they deal with everything. Why did you come all of a sudden?"

Nicole did not answer his question. Instead, she said, "Bring Miss Myers out of here first. I'll wait forthem.."

"I..." Felipe looked at Ariah.

Ariah's expression remained the same. Smiling, she said, "I can do whatever I want. If you want to stay here and wait with me, I won't mind."

Obviously, Nicole felt Ariah's hostility toward her.

After thinking for a moment, she understood why there was this great feeling of hostility.

"In that case, you can wait here," said Nicole with a smile. She then instructed Felipe, "Take good care of Miss Myers. I'll be back soon."

After that, she strode in the direction of the villa.

Not only Felipe, but Ariah was also taken aback. What was she trying to do?

Before she could speak, Felipe asked, "Miss Hart, where are you going?"

Nicole continued walking. "I have something to take care of."

Things were still in a mess in the villa. She would only make things more complicated if she went there.

Ariah and Felipe stared at each other. Then, Ariah knitted her brows. There was a hail of gunfire in the villa right now, and it was very dangerous. Nicole would only put Jimmy in inconvenience by going there.

"Nicole Hart!"

Ariah cried out loudly. Nicole, who was walking in front of her, slowly stopped and turned around to look at her.

Wearing a poker face, Ariah walked up to her. "If you want to go back and look for Camden, you can do so anytime, but not now. Jimmy risked his life to rescue you. How can you go back just like that? Do you want Camden to get his hands on you and use you to threaten Jimmy?"

Pursing her lips, Nicole knew now was not a good time to go back, but this was the only chance she had.

"Jimmy had been looking for you for so many years. You are very important to him. If Camden catches you and threatens Jimmy, do you think Jimmy will compromise with him?"

He would definitely compromise with Camden to protect Nicole, so Ariah definitely would not allow her to go back right now. "Please don't cause any more trouble. Just stay here and wait for Jimmy to come back safely. Don't drag him down and make him worry about you!"

After a moment of silence, Nicole said in a low voice, "I understand where you're coming from, but I have no choice but to go."

"You..."

Ariah was furious. This woman was indeed stubborn, just like what Camden described.

"I know what you're worried about, but you can rest assured. I won't drag Jimmy down." Nicole suddenly smiled at her. "I was the one who helped Jimmy solve his problems back then. I will kill

Camden myself so that Jimmy can go back safely and marry you."

Ariah was stunned.

"Also, Jimmy didn't intend to ignore your calls for the past few days. He couldn't pick up his phone because he was in a coma for two days after getting shot when he was rescuing me. When he

woke up last night and found out that you were kidnapped by Camden, he almost went nuts. Despite his injuries, he brought his men and came here right away, wanting to kill Camden."

Smiling, Nicole looked at Ariah, who was in a daze and, said, "I grew up with Jimmy, and I've never seen him so angry before. He was so furious to the extent that he had to ask Brother King to lend him some soldiers to bombard the villa. To be honest, he shouldn't be doing this with his current status, but still, he did these things for you, so Miss Myers... Jimmy likes you. Please don't feel any hostility towards me because it's not worth it." After saying that, Nicole turned around and left. Ariah stood frozen to the ground before for quite a while before she came back to her senses.
