Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 660

"Everyone has difficulties." Ricco was unruffled.

"Anyway, what do you need?" In order not to disturb Emily, Ariah took the phone outside and continued, "If it's something to do with power and influence, I might not be able to help you."

"Nah, I don't need that."

Curious, she then asked, "What is it then?"

"I need you to spy something for me."

"Ahem!"

"What did you just say?"

Was Ricco being serious about that?

Ricco explained, "I need you to get Jimmy to spill the beans about where Kevin is kept. Ariah, I rarely ask for anyone's help. You gotta help me this time."

Although he was asking for a favor, he sounded quite domineering.

Instantly, Ariah snorted. "Is this how you ask for help?"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Tell me what's going on first."

If he wanted to know where Kevin was kept, he could have just ask Jimmy. So why was he asking her now?

"I've tried to ask Jimmy, but he wouldn't tell me where Kevin is. And I sent someone to investigate it, but still, we can't find him. Therefore, I think you may be the only one who can do it."

"What makes you think that?"

Jimmy must have his own reason for not telling Ricco about Kevin's whereabouts. If she asked Jimmy now, he could get suspicious of her.

"Since you two live together, you could try sounding him out at the right time, like when you two are in bed."

Hearing that, Ariah laughed. "You want me to seduce Jimmy for you?"

Surprised, Ricco then clarified, "That's not what I mean. You two are couples and you will have sex at some point, right? When he's relaxed, you could ask..."

"Ricco!"

Ariah went mad. She was both embarrassed and angry. "Watch your mouth!"

How could he speak about her private affair so naturally?

On the other hand, Ricco froze and then realized what he said was somewhat indecent.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat. "Although I might have come across a little rude, that's what I meant. I sincerely hope that you could assist me."

"What if I don't?"

Even Ricco couldn't get the answer from Jimmy. So how could she get the answer? He was thinking too highly of her.

Moreover, Jimmy had never wanted to talk to her about his work.

Before they divorced, she didn't even know that he used to be undercover police.

"If you don't wanna agree, I'm afraid I'll have to use the favors that you owed me before as an excuse." Soon, Ricco's voice became cold.

Ariah was choked speechless.

"Remember that time in the pub? If it hadn't been for me, you would have been raped. And that time when Kevin almost captured you, I came to your rescue once again."

With an indifferent tone, Ricco continued, "These are the things that I've done for you, but what about you?"

"Ricco, don't go too far!" warned Ariah with her teeth gritted.

"Oh, yeah? The only reason that keeps me alive is to take revenge on Kevin. However, he's being secretly protected now. Can you understand how frustrated I am?"

Hearing that, she paused a little before saying, "But Kevin will be punished eventually..." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What if he won't?" Ricco interrupted her. "What if someone is still trying to protect him? Ariah, I can't risk that possibility. I have to watch him die. Only then will I be free."

He had waited years for this to come.

Leaning back into the wall, Ariah fell silent.

After a long while, she finally said, "Alright, I could give it a try, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed. So don't expect too much of me."

Ricco said sincerely, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet. I might not be able to do it."

But if she succeeded, she would be repaying all the favors that she owed him.

With that said, she didn't like to owe others a favor.

It was the third time Jimmy rang the doorbell, and yet, no one was answering the door.

With a frown, he took out his phone and called Ariah, but she didn't answer it. Instantly, he grew sullen and called her again.

This time, Ariah finally answered the phone. "What's up?"

"Where are you?"

"Why do you ask? I..."

"Are you still at the hospital keeping an eye on Emily?" He cut her off impatiently.

"Yeah, why? I won't be going home tonight. Let's talk tomorrow..."

However, the phone was hung up.

Slightly surprised, Ariah then scoffed, "Weirdo!"

He hung up just like that.

Why was he so moody?

Nonetheless, she didn't bother with it and continued to lean back in her chair watching TV. The night was long, and if she didn't keep herself occupied, it would be a long night.

But soon, she became sleepy and fell asleep.

Ariah woke up when someone had lifted her up all of a sudden. She screamed and tried to get hold of something.

"Ouch..."

Hearing the gasp, she widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Jimmy? What are you doing here?"

The light in the ward was dim, and Jimmy's handsome face was a little distorted. "Let go of

me!" "What?"

"Don't pull my hair!" he growled.

Only then did Ariah come to her senses.

She must have grabbed his hair when she was panicked just now.

It must have hurt!

No wonder that he was furious.

"Sorry." Ariah let go of his hair awkwardly.

It was an instinctive response though.

Jimmy just snorted and rubbed his hair. Coming out of his arms, she was a little embarrassed. "Uh, are you alright?"

"You think?"

"Why are you here?"

"Because of you."

"You're looking for me?"

"Who else could I be looking for?" Then, seeing her thinly dressed, Jimmy frowned and asked, "Where's your coat?"

She didn't feel cold before. But now that he had mentioned it, it was a little chilly indeed, perhaps because she had just woken up. Quickly, she got her coat and put it on. "Why are you looking for me anyway?"

With his hands tugged in his pockets, he said lightly, "Since you're awake, let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"Home."

Did he come here on purpose to pick her up?

But Ariah didn't move. "I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying here tonight to keep watch on Emily."
