Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 698

After Lennon finished, Ariah's face turned pale.

Jimmy...

Nothing bad would happen to him, and he would be fine.

In fact, Jimmy was fully prepared. Furthermore, Camden was in the open while Jimmy was under the cover, so Jimmy would definitely be able to rescue Nicole successfully.

Reclined on the comfy couch, Lennon asked, "I'm curious. How did you know that Camden came to my house yesterday?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

When Jimmy and Ariah arrived at the villa yesterday, Camden had already left.

Immediately, Ariah dodged his gaze.

Then, Lennon raised his eyebrows slightly. "Was it Emily who told you about it?"

Even if Ariah did not say anything, Lennon could pretty much guess what was going on. "That woman had indeed put on a good show. Yesterday, I did suspect that Emily's disappearance had something to do with her. But she didn't admit it, and she even acted as if we had wrongly accused her."

If it weren't for the help of outsiders, Emily wouldn't have been able to escape under such a strong security system.

"But right now, I'm actually quite curious. What exactly did that woman do to help Emily escape under my watch?" Curiously, Lennon asked.

A light flashed across Ariah's eyes, "Do you want to know?"

"Yes, I really want to know."

"There is a book originated from Estar, called 'The Art of War'. You can go and read the 15th chapter, and you'll know how Emily managed to escape under your watch."

At that moment, Ariah deliberately tried to tease him, but she didn't expect Lennon to respond directly by asking, "Are you talking about the method where they lured the tiger out of the mountains?"

Surprised, Ariah answered, "You've read about it before?"

"I have half the blood of an Estar, so of course I've read it before." Then, Lennon chuckled and said, "I just didn't expect that when I was searching for her in the mountains, she was still in the villa."

Turned out that Lennon was quick-witted!

Even when Ariah had only mentioned a simple tip, he had managed to guess the whole thing.

No wonder Emily did not like him. The level of intelligence that Lennon had was completely different from Emily's.

If Emily were to be by Lennon's side, she would definitely think that she was redundant.

"I'll go in and help you persuade Emily." Without another word, Ariah stood up, "However, whether I can convince her or not, it will depend on luck."

In the bedroom.

In fact, Emily Alice was sitting by the window as she stared at the scenery in a daze.

When Ariah entered the room, Emily heard the commotion and turned around to look at Ariah. Hurriedly, she asked, "Did Lucas leave?"

"No, he is still outside." Then, Ariah took a seat across from Emily.

Disappointed, Emily pouted.

"Do you really dislike him that much?" When Ariah saw Emily's reaction, Ariahlaughed.

"Yes, I really don't like him at all." Bluntly, Emily replied, "Why hasn't he left yet? Why didn't you drive him away?"

Calmly, Ariah explained, "I was the one who invited him in, so how am I supposed to chase him 911

At that moment, Emily rested her chin on her knees and sighed. "If I had known that he would come here, I wouldn't have followed you back today."

"Where else could you go besides my place?"

"I can find a random place to avoid him for a while."

"What if you run into danger?" In a serious tone, Ariah asked, "You're not familiar with this place and there are many things in Estar that are different from foreign countries. If you couldn't handle them well, you'll be at a disadvantage."

After a pause, Ariah added, "Could Lennon be even more terrifying than those unknown dangers?"

Without hesitation, Emily nodded. "Ariah, don't look at how gentle and composed he is. He's scarier than any man out there, and it's just that you haven't seen the scary side of him."

Meanwhile, Ariah uttered, "Well, I think he treats you quite well."

Immediately, Emily shook her head. "That's because you didn't see his real side. Right now, he's just pretending."

It left Ariah with nothing to say.

After a moment of silence, Ariah asked, "What do you plan to do now then? He is still waiting for you outside. Besides, you can't hide in my room all the time, right?" "I'm also trying to think of a way..." Suddenly, Emily leaned out of the window. "If I were to jump down from here, I would break my legs, and he wouldn't force me to go with him, right?"

Terrified, Ariah instantly pulled Emily backward. "If you were to jump down from here, not only would you break your leg, but you would also break your skull, and it would be so disgusting!"

Hearing that, Emily gulped and became timid. "I shall not jump then."

With a sigh, Ariah suggested, "Since you don't like him that much, then you can make it clear to him and tell him that you don't like him so that he would let go of you. Wouldn't it be better for the two of you to settle these matters peacefully?"

"I've told him before, but he doesn't listen to me all." Sadly, Emily's face sank.

"Uh, then tell him that you have someone in mind and that you love Kobi so that he will give up on you."

"I've also said that before, but he doesn't care at all. When he knew that Kobi and I were dating, all he said was that he would allow me to date Kobi for two years. After two years later, I would have to break up with Kobi and marry him."

That reponse made Ariah speechless.

They were placed in a tight spot.

It seemed that Lennon was a stubborn man.

That sort of person was the hardest to deal with.

Even Ariah was also worried.

The more Emily thought about it, the angrier she became. Why was she so unfortunate to meet such a man?

"Knock! Knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

When Ariah stood up and opened the door, she saw that Lennon was standing outside the door.

"I'm sorry." In the end, Ariah did not do as she promised. "Emily really doesn't want to leave with you, and I failed to persuade her."

Although Ariah hadn't told Emily directly to leave with Lucas, the questions that Ariah had asked were enough to prove that Emily hated Lennon and that she would never leave with him.

"Well, I had expected that to happen since she had been hiding from me as if I was vicious. Besides, she is not the kind of person who would listen to any words of advice."

With a smile, Lennon said, "Miss Myers, it's not right for me to enter your room, so could you please get her out? I want to have a few words with her."

Surprised, Ariah didn't expect Lennon...to be so polite.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that he was not as bad as Emily said.

On the contrary, he seemed to be a gentleman who was considerate, polite, and temperamental.

In Ariah's eyes, a man like Lennon was the model example of a good man.

"Okay..." Unable to refuse, Ariah said, "Wait a minute, I'll talk to her."

Then, Lennon nodded.

After Ariah closed the door behind her, she came to the window and patted Emily on the shoulder, "Emily, now that Lennon is here, he won't leave without you."

Pitifully, Emily looked at Ariah, "Are you also on his side now?"

However, Ariah explained, "Well, I don't think he will hurt you. I mean, look at the past two days that you've you spent at his villa. Aren't you still perfectly fine?"

Besides, if Lennon really wanted to hurt Emily, he would have done it long ago.

Slowly, Emily lowered her gaze. "But I really don't want to go with him. You don't know... how terrible he is..."

Her voice trailed off when she reached the end of her sentence, and Ariah couldn't hear it clearly.

Just as Ariah was about to ask Emily something, Lennon knocked on the door again.

Then, Lennon's voice rang out outside the door, "Miss Myers."

Hurriedly, Ariah went to open the door.

"Can I come in?" Although the expression of Lennon remained unchanged, Ariah could sense that there was a change in the depths of his gaze.

Immediately, Ariah leaned to the side and let him in. "Please come in."

As soon as Lennon walked in, he noticed that Emily was sitting by the window at a glance.

As he walked over to Emily, his gaze deepened. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at Ariah. "Miss Myers, if possible, I wish to speak to Emily alone."

What he meant was that he wanted Ariah to leave the room.
