Chapter 356


    Jimmy and Ariah were invited by Stanley. "Stanley wants me to check on the two children. He was


    worried thatst night''s incident might have traumatized them," exined Ariah.


    While nodding her head, Sharon asked, "Alright, how are you going to do that?"

    "Don''t worry. It''s nothing serious. He just wants me to talk and have fun with them." Ariah then


    pinched her face with a smile. "I''ll bring the two of them to the room. Also, I need you to do me a


    favor."


    "What is it?" Sharon immediately agreed. "I will help as long as it is within my capability."


    "Mmm, it''s very simple..." Suddenly, Ariah''s smile disappeared, and her cial gaze swept across


    Jimmy in the living room. "Since you are the host, please help me chase him away. I don''t want to


    see the man!"


    That request rendered Sharon speechless.


    Jimmy was watching TV with Sadie in his arms. She loved to watch cartoons, which were not his


    favorite, so he grabbed the remote control and switched to a variety show. As a result, she pouted


    as if she was going to burst into tears, but Jimmy didn''t seem to notice that because he was still


    laughing happily. He even pped his thighs while his body was trembling with joy, the emotions of


    which confused her, who then stopped crying.


    Upon a brief sigh, Sharon walked over and took Sadie from Jimmy''s embrace. Since her daughter


    seemed to have been frightened, sheforted her a little before asking her to look for Seamus in


    the room.


    As Sharon turned her head, she was impressed by Jimmy''s attractive facial features and his bright,


    dark hair. d in a cool, simple leather jacket, he didn''t have the gloominess that shrouded Stanley.


    Instead, he looked much more easygoing and amiable.


    "Jimmy," she said, following a cough.


    Leaning on the sofa absent- mindedly, he switched to another channel as he felt that the variety


    show was a bit boring. When he heard her voice, he raised his eyes and asked, "What''s the


    matter?"


    "Did you argue with Ariah?"


    ncing at her, he forced a smile and replied, "What did she tell you again?"


    Sharon was stunned by his response.


    Why did he have such sharp eyesight? Did all policemen have this power? He had already guessed


    her underlying meaning, although she had not finished her words.


    "N-No, she didn''t say anything..."


    "Don''t lie to me. You two were muttering over there just now."


    "Weren''t you ying with Sadie?"


    Although he seemed to be fooling around, he actually cared a lot about Ariah. Since it was hard to


    exin this to her, he sighed and said, "Be honest. What did she tell you?"


    "A-Ariah mentioned that you kept pestering her and making fun of her, which was irritating, so she


    wanted you to go back. She said... she said that she didn''t want to see you..."


    Under the daunting gaze of Jimmy, who was a policeman, she could only speak intermittently, and


    her voice became softer and softer until I almost swallowed it back into their throats.


    Apparently, she was terrified by the serious expression of Officer Hudson and didn''t dare to look at


    him, which made her feel like she was a criminal.


    Fortunately, Stanley came and pulled her up from the couch. After ncing at Jimmy with a frown,


    he said, "Why are you scaring her with such a sullen face? If you think you are good enough, then


    you should solve your own problem!" Then, he turned around andforted his wife, "Well, don''t


    interfere in their affairs next time. It doesn''t matter whether he would get a divorce. It''s his life; he


    can decide it himself."


    In response, Sharon nodded in haste without uttering a single word.


    Stanley thus brought her back to the bedroom, leaving Jimmy sitting alone on the couch. Although


    his gaze was fixated on the TV, he had lost interest in it. As his heart throbbed with pain, he forced a


    chuckle and closed his eyes to conceal his feelings.


    To Ariah''s surprise, the two children were so tough that they were not traumatized by the incident.


    ording to their conversation, they didn''t even have a nightmare. If Ariah hadn''t mentioned it, they


    wouldn''t even have remembered being abducted by a stranger.


    That was a huge relief for Sharon.


    Lying on the bed, Ariah stared at the ceiling while listening to what Sharon said about Jimmy, "Ariah,


    I think Jimmy still likes you. I can see it from his eyes. I- Is it really impossible for you two to be


    together?"


    "I admit that he likes me, but he also likes another woman at the same time." Ariah smiled and


    nced at her. "His love is not exclusive to me, so I can''t ept it. I gave him a chance two years


    ago, but he still hasn''t ended the rtionship with that woman. Sharon, do you think it''s wise for me


    to be with him?"


    Sharon''s attention had been on Stanley and the two children for the past few years. Therefore, she


    didn''t know much about the rtionship between Jimmy and Ariah. Now that she heard the


    exnation, she immediately empathized with Ariah.


    "Ariah, if you really want to divorce Jimmy, go to the court and let the judge issue a divorce notice.


    You will be freed that way."


    Ariah was startled by her words.


    Although Sharon was still speaking, Ariah''s mind had been upied by the rtionship. It had been


    a taxing process to get along with Jimmy, both physically and mentally.


    In the living room, the two men were also talking about the problem. While looking at Jimmy,


    Stanley couldn''t help but sigh, "Why were you in a hurry to argue with Ariah? Why were you so


    harsh with your words? How could Ariah not be mad when she heard that? If divorce is not your


    option, then you will have to please her. Why do you have to be angry with her?"


    As Jimmy was about to reach for the cigarette, he held his hand back and started scratching his


    hair. He seemed to be in pain as he said, "Do you think I wanted to piss her off? If I hadn''t said


    those words, she would have just ignored me. She was so cruel and cold that she would not


    respond to me no matter what I did. She would only react after I satirized her, which was the only


    moment when I thought she still belonged to me..."


    With a frown, Stanley stared at him for a while and yelled, "Are you crazy?!" His emotion was so


    strong that he had to utter one word at a time.


    Following a wry smile, Jimmy nodded. "Yes, I''m sick."


    "Why did you still treat her like that if you knew it''s not right?"


    "I have been trying to control myself since I graduated from the police academy. After so many


    years, the bomb is finally going to explode..." Jimmy murmured. "I know that I will be smashed to


    pieces by this bomb in the end. I just hope that before I die, I can still stay with her for two more


    years..."


    When Stanley heard that, his expression changed drastically. Putting on a stern face, he said,


    "Jimmy, what kind of nonsense are you spouting now?"
