Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 752

After swinging two strokes, Howard threw the club aside and lay on the lounge chair, watching Jimmy and Stanley play. He was clearly not in the mood.

Frankly, he might not be as good as them in other aspects, but he was definitely adept in terms of having fun.

Whenever they gathered together, he would be the most excited one, but he seemed to be lethargic and listless. Jimmy frowned at the peculiar sight. "Something's wrong. It's the first time I've seen him like this."

Looking at Howard, Stanley then looked away and swung his club indifferently. "I noticed that when he came."

Jimmy rubbed his chin curiously. From where he was, he could see Ariah and the ladies sitting together, basking under the sun, and chatting.

Both Stanley and Jimmy were very alert as they teased, "Howard's attention is over there although he's here playing golf with us."

Of course, Stanley had also spotted the young girl who was sitting next to Sharon and Ariah.

He frowned. "She looks familiar."

It was logical that he did not know about Elaine because he was a busy man.

Jimmy, on the other hand, had heard Ariah mention her a few times. "He hired her as his maid."

Upon hearing that, Stanley recalled that Howard used to bring a young maid to his house for dinner once, but he simply forgot about it.

"Hey, they always say that don't sh*t where you eat, but he's the exception. He flirts with his own maid."

Sneering, Stanley passed the club to the ball boy, walked over while wiping his sweat, and kicked Howard. "Drop your act."

Howard didn't budge. "Just let me be, will you?"

"What did you do to that little maid? Did you seduce her?"

"Hey, what do you mean that I seduced her?" Upon hearing this, Howard growled unhappily. "I'm single, so I have the right to pursue any single lady that I like."

"So, are you admitting that you like her?"

"Ahem. Well, I just stating what's in my min..."

"Forget it. You're not compatible," Stanley interjected before Howard could finish his words. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Jimmy, who was playing golf, nodded upon hearing Stanley's remark. "Yup, Stanley's right. You're not compatible."

Rolling his eyes, Howard blurted, "Stanley, Sharon has no family background nor any strong networking, which is a big taboo for businessmen, but you still married her and have three kids with her. And Jimmy, I don't think I have to state the fact about Ariah's family. She is definitely not the ideal daughter-in-law for your family, but you still married her. Now, why do you think we're not compatible because she's a maid?"

Stanley calmly took a sip of water and slowly said, "I didn't mean she's right for you, but you're not right for her."

"Yup, that's what I mean too!" Jimmy swung his club at a perfect angle and got a hole in one.

What?

Annoyed, Howard suddenly sat up from the lounge chair, his face grimacing in rage. "Hey, are you not my buddies? How can you say that?"

"I'm just stating the fact." Jimmy walked over from afar. "Think about it. How many girls you've slept with over the years? Your reputation is already tarnished due to your debauched lifestyle. She's an innocent and pure girl. I don't think it's fair for her to suffer because of you."

After that, Jimmy sighed dejectedly. "Now that I have a daughter, I know that men like you are absolutely unreliable. I won't marry my daughter to a man like you even if I die."

Howard squinted at him.

Stanley silently added, "I won't marry my daughter to a scum like you either."

And he earned a squint from Howard too.

"They are no helping at all," Howard thought.

Seeing him drooping his head with a crestfallen expression, Stanley and Jimmy shook their heads and laughed.

They could not be bothered with him, as it served him right. They had advised him to restrain himself from sleeping around often, but he refused to take their advice.

Well, karma was a b*tch.

Every action came with a price, and now he was paying for it.

On the other hand, Ariah pulled Sharon to the side. Before Ariah could speak, Sharon blurted hastily, "Do you think Elaine doesn't really understand the sexual relationship between men and women?"

Ariah nodded and asked, "Do you know where is she from?" "I don't know much about her, but she is definitely not from Beachmarsh City. I remembered Howard told me that she is from a poor family, so I assume she is from the rural countryside."

This was what Ariah was afraid of. The people in the rural town were conservative with very limited sexual education. Some girls were clueless about their physical bodies even when they were in high school and university. They even thought that lying on the same bed with a man could impregnate them.

She was afraid that Elaine was one of those girls.

Sharon shared the same concern. "Her remark worries me a lot. A few days ago, I saw a piece of news where a couple, who are both doctorate graduates, thought that they could get pregnant by lying on the same bed and covering the same blanket."

"You don't think Elaine is as pure as that, right?" Sharon cast a glance at Elaine who was playing with the kids.

Right there and then, Ariah and Sharon decided to give Elaine a prompt sexual health education.

They called Elaine over and started to lecture her about the physical differences between men and women. As the topic slowly advanced to the intense part, Elaine started to blush timidly and wanted to leave out of embarrassment.

However, Sharon and Ariah did not allow her to leave and blatantly taught her everything that they thought she needed to know. After that, they asked hesitantly, "You said that Howard kissed you,

but did he do anything that we told you just now?"

Ashamed and bashful, Elaine's face was as red as a tomato as she shook her head and stuttered, "N-No."

Upon hearing that, Sharon heaved a long sigh of relief, knowing that Howard did not go overboard.

On the other hand, Ariah comforted, "I can reassure you that you won't be pregnant because Howard didn't do anything to you other than kissing you. Don't say that I didn't warn you, but no one can force you to do this if you don't want to. It is considered a felony! So if Howard forces himself on you again next time, you must tell us, okay? We'll teach him a lesson!"

On hearing that, Elaine nodded with a blushed face.

Sharon opened her mouth to say something, only to be stopped by the nannies' frantic scream, "Hey, what are you doing!"

Hearing the scream, Ariah turned around and saw Lacie hugging and biting Simon forcefully. He tried to push her away to no avail.

When Sharon and Ariah ran over, Lacie had already left an obvious bite mark on Simon's face.

Ariah was infuriated. Where did Lacie girl learn such a bad habit of biting other people?

Agitated, she held Lacie in her arms and gave her buttock a few smacks. "Why did you bite Simon!"
