Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 736

Jimmy was trying to gain her forgiveness by inflicting pain on himself!

It was David's idea.

David told him that women were soft-hearted and if he wanted to be forgiven, he gotta act this way- first, he gotta show her some manly side, and if it didn't work, he could try to inflict pain on himself. Seeing him suffering, she should become forgiving instantly. But if it didn't work still, then... he might have to think of ways to redeem himself.

Nonetheless, Ariah must have felt sorry for him, because the moment he knelt down, her face had turned pale and she tried to pull him. "Get up!"

But he just knelt on the ground and did not move.

Frustrated, she grew even worried. "Jimmy, get up!"

It was his first time kneeling down to a woman, and initially, he thought that it was making him less manly. But when he saw Ariah's anxious gaze, it actually worth it.

Ariah exerted some strength in pulling him and he was afraid that she might hurt the baby so he quickly seized the chance and got up. But then, he staggered and almost fell.

Startled, she hurriedly held him up.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he leaned against her soft body. Knowing that his knees must be injured, she helped him to the sofa.

Upon sitting down, Ariah took a look at his knees.

Soon, her lips trembled because his knees were badly mutilated. Pieces of glass were stuck in his flesh.

It must have hurt a lot.

Since he wanted to make her feel sorry for him, he then deliberately sucked in a few deep breaths.

Anxious, she went to look for the first aid kit while scolding him silently. However, she couldn't find the kit at all.

It seemed that she was running out of supplies after not living here for a few months.

Standing in the corner, she started to wipe her tears. In the meantime, Jimmy was smug of his success as he finally could see her showing some emotions other than indifference.

But then, he saw her crouching there and her shoulders shivering slightly.

Jimmy was stunned for a moment. "Ariah?"

Quickly, she got up and walked over to him, thinking that his knees must have hurt again. "Is it very painful? I've run out of medicine now, but I'll call the ambulance in a bit."

He then pulled her over, lifted her chin, and watched her red eyes. "Are you crying?"

He was now regretting using such a bad idea.

In order to comfort her, he stood up and reassured, "Don't worry. It doesn't hurt. Just now I lost my balance a little. Now it's all right."

He tried his best to soothe her, but Ariah sobbed even harder.

Seeing that, Jimmy was really in a panic. "Ariah, don't cry..."

Ariah sniffed and said, "Sit down."

How could it not hurt? The broken glass had pierced into his skin. It looked really painful.

In the hospital-

in the end, it was only when David's call came that Ariah asked him to help send Jimmy to the hospital.

Originally, David just wanted to check how the plan was going and if it worked. Unexpectedly, Jimmy had played a self-mutilation trick, which was far more clever than his idea.

Any woman would be soft-hearted to see that, not to mention Ariah, who loved Jimmy deeply. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking about that, he winked at Jimmy, but what he received in return was Jimmy's glare, which scared him a little.

Why was Jimmy looking at him like that?

Didn't their plan succeed? Now, standing by the side, Ariah looked worried and even her eyes were red.

However, the way Jimmy looked at him was like he wanted to punch him.

Seeing that things didn't seem to go well, David immediately found an excuse to leave.

After the nurse had applied medicine to Jimmy and bandaged his wound, she went out too.

The couple were now left alone in the ward.

Looking at Ariah sitting beside him trying to calm down, with a sigh, Jimmy called out, "Ariah."

Ariah looked up at him. "Yeah."

"Come here."

She hesitated for a moment before walking over.

When she got closer, he patted the space next to him, asking her to sit down. Then, he moved his face closer and said, "Hit me."

"Wh-what?" Ariah was startled.

"Hit me!" "Why should I hit you?" She pushed him back. "Lie

down."

But Jimmy held her hand to slap himself on the face. "I plotted against you. I deserve to be punished."

Hearing that, Ariah was totally stunned. "What do you mean?"

Jimmy pursed his lips and looked at her. Suddenly, she understood. "Wait, you're talking about the injury on your knees. It was a trick?"

Uneasily, he cleared his throat.

Ariah was dumbstruck for a long while before she stood up and stomped out. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

What a stupid woman she was! She was once again tricked by him.

Just now, she really felt sorry for him and she even cried. However, it turned out that everything was plotted.

Behind, Jimmy was calling her name, but she merely ignored it.

Just as she stepped out of the ward, Jimmy chased after her and pressed her against the wall, panting. She tried to push him but he hugged her really tight without saying anything. It was as if he was afraid of losing her.

He didn't dodge at all when she started to hit him and he even asked her to slap him on the face. "Hit me however you like! I deserve it!"

Ariah gritted her teeth in anger and really slapped him a few times, which sounded especially heartwrenching.

And the passersby even started to worry that she would get hit back.

However, he didn't strike back after being hit by her for a long time. Instead, he was still hugging her tightly.

Instantly, some passersby realized that they were a couple.

Meanwhile, Ariah finally felt her hands burned from slapping him and she snapped angrily, "Jimmy, you're a shameless jerk! Instead of providing me a sense of security, you only know how to scheme me! Shame on you!"

Jimmy gasped for breath and the corner of his mouth was now bleeding. Licking his lips, he then chuckled. "You're right. I am a shameless jerk."

Although he was indeed scheming her, he would never really harm her.

As for the sense of security that she mentioned...

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Finally, you've spoken your mind, huh?"

With her lips bitten, Ariah didn't know what to say.

However, he suddenly planted kisses on her face as he muttered, "Although I don't know what feeling secured is like for you, I can prove to you that I'm the only man who can protect you and our child!"

After he said that, he kissed her lips forcefully.

Hearing that, Ariah realized that the matter that she had been bothered about for so long was nothing to him.

He had always been confident and strong, and nothing was really a problem to him.

Now, he must think that she was being oversensitive.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, an awkward cough rang out. Ariah instantly came back to her senses and wanted to get out of Jimmy's embrace, but he ignored the cough, hugging her even tighter and continuing to kiss her.

Unable to move, she then glanced over to the sound source and she blushed.
