Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 753

Never had Ariah laid her hands on Lacie, lost her temper, or even spoken loudly to her. Now, Lacie was at a loss as she stared at Ariah's angry face and listened to her scolding.

Meanwhile, Sharon picked up Simon and checked the bite wound on his face. Luckily, it was just a light bite and there was no blood.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she reassured Ariah after seeing her lecture Lacie, 'Alright now, it's not a big deal. Stop scolding her."

At this moment, Ariah felt that Jimmy had really spoiled Lacie rotten.

Sharon asked Simon, "Did you bully her again, that's why she bit you?"

Annoyed, Simon almost rolled his eyes. Why was it his fault? He didn't do anything.

Then, Sharon wiped Lacie's saliva off Simon's face. "Next time, you should yield Lacie a little. She's still young. If she wants something, don't fight with her, okay?"

From her perspective, the kids must be fighting because they wanted to play with the same toy.

However, Simon donned an upset expression and muttered, "It's not my fault. She wanted to kiss me, but I didn't let her, so she bit me. I wanted to push her away like I did the last time, but you told me not to, so I didn't..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Sharon could still hear what he tried to convey.

"Are you saying that you pushed Lacie the other day because she bit you?"

Simon nodded. "Yes!"

Surprised, Sharon turned to look at Ariah, whereas Ariah was so embarrassed after learning the truth. She asked Lacie, "Why did Simon push you that day?"

"I wanted to kiss him but he didn't let me, and he even pushed me. Mommy, Simon is bad..." Lacie chuckled.

Ariah looked askance at her.

It was so embarrassing!

How did she raise such a spiteful little rascal?

Not only did she harass Simon, but she also accused him of pushing her.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Ariah chided, trying to sound as gentle as possible, "You can't kiss Simon, do you hear me?"

"Why can't I? I want to kiss him! I want to kiss

Simon!"

Again, Ariah was speechless.

Where did she learn to act like a rogue at her age? It was definitely very embarrassing!

Flustered, Ariah smacked Lacie's buttock again when Jimmy happened to witness the scene. He quickly ran over, grabbed Lacie off Ariah's arms, and rebuked, "Why do you hit her?"

Ariah glared at him. "Stay out of the way! Goodness, I'm so pissed! It was not Simons's fault! She wanted to kiss him but he didn't let her. She even accused him of pushing her!"

This was the daughter that Jimmy doted on!

After listening to Ariah's words, Jimmy was slightly surprised. Lacie actually did that?

No way!

However, Ariah's enraged expression proved otherwise.

Skeptically, Jimmy held Lacie's face and asked, "Did you cry because Simon didn't let you kiss her?"

"Yes, Daddy!" Lacie smiled innocently.

This time, it was Jimmy's turn to be embarrassed.

D*mn, what a rogue Lacie was.

After the truth unfolded, Jimmy and Ariah felt incredibly ashamed.

Ariah apologized to Sharon and Stanley. Then, she went to Simon to apologize on Lacie's behalf. She even reassured Simon that she would properly educate Lacie so that she would not do this again.

Furrowing his delicate brows, Simon muttered, "Don't scold Lacie. She's still young..."

"Aw, he is so sensible and adorable," Ariah thought.

Caressing Simon's face, Ariah felt that Lacie was not as adorable since she was so rude.

When night fell, they decided to stay the night.

They had barbeque under the moonlight as dinner and ate around the campfire. It was quite pleasant and enjoyable.

After they were done with dinner, the men brought the children to take a walk around the campsite. Sharon and Ariah stopped Howard, who was just about to follow them.

Arching his eyebrows curiously, he looked at the women who were blocking his way. "Yes? What's the matter?"

Sharon stared at him and warned, "Howard, don't force Elaine to do something she doesn't want to do."

Afraid that Howard would pound on Elaine again next time, Sharon thought she should warn him beforehand.

Confused by the sudden warning, Howard blurted, "What did I do?"

Sharon frowned in disdain. What an irresponsible man he was!

Knowing that Sharon would argue with Howard, Ariah smiled and said to Sharon, "Hey, Elaine is cleaning up the table. Go and tell her the staff will clean them up!"

Upon hearing this, Howard's expression darkened as he knew that Elaine was doing the cleaning up out of the habit again.

She was too used to being a maid that she became one wherever she went.

He was about to go to her when Ariah stretched out her arm and blocked his path. "Where do you think you're going? I haven't finished yet."

Howard glanced at her. "What do you want to say?"

"What's going on between you and Elaine?"

"Do you want to tell me something, or you just want to gossip?"

Shrugging indifferently, Ariah continued, "Think whatever you want but be honest to me. What is she to you? Are you playing her, or are you playing

her?"

Hearing this, Howard laughed albeit annoyed. "Are you hearing yourself? What do you even mean? In your eyes, I'm never serious, am I?"

"Of course!" Ariah snorted. "I don't think I have to remind you about your long list of disgusting past, right? Sharon and I adore Elaine. It's not easy for her to survive in the city. So if you just want to play her, get lost. You're not right for her."

Howard lost count of how many times he heard the same comment.

Why was everyone despising him? Was he really that unsightly?

Upon thinking of this, Howard frowned in dismay. "Why am I not right for her? We're both single. I think we're perfect together!"

Ariah nodded. "Okay. Next question, are you going to marry her?"

Annoyed, Howard blurted, "Oh my god, there's nothing between us yet. Why do I want to marry her?"

"See? so you just want to play her, don't you?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"1-1 never said that."

"You don't want to marry her, and you're not playing her. So what do you want exactly? Do you just want to get in her pants?" Ariah rolled her eyes.

Stunned, Howard murmured hesitantly, "C-Can't I just date her first?"

Marriage was such a big issue that it never crossed his mind yet.

Dismayed, Ariah frowned and warned in a serious tone, "For someone like Elaine, her ultimate purpose is to get married once she's serious in a relationship, but you, on the other hand, only care about yourself and live at the moment. You just want to date her but not marry her. What if you suddenly have enough of Elaine and ditch her? What will she do then?"
