Chapter 499


    That was what E had told Ariah on the first day she married into the Hudson Family.


    Even now, Ariah still remembered it clearly.


    Putting aside the fact that she had failed to carry two babies in three years, she even hadn''t given


    birth to any children until now. It was no wonder that E woulde to the hospital looking for her


    and questioned her straightly whether she and Jimmy had divorced.


    Just as Ariah was thinking about how to reply, E seemed to have seen through her mind and


    snorted. "Tsk, are you still trying to trick me? If it wasn''t for the fact that I know someone from the


    Civil Affairs Bureau, I''m afraid you guys would just keep me in the dark forever!"


    Seeing that she couldn''t hide it anymore, Ariah could only nod and admit.


    "Yes, Jimmy and I have indeed divorced. As for the reason, you could ask him..."


    "I don''t care about the reason for your divorce." E interrupted her and gave her a sidelong nce.


    "But since you''re divorced from Jimmy, you''re no longer part of our family."


    Ariah let out a bitterugh. "You''re right."


    "Anyway, I''m here to check whether you two were really divorced. Since it''s real, there''s nothing


    more left to say." With that, E turned around and left. She did not want to stay here for a second


    longer.


    Ariah was left stunned there.


    Then, E thought of something and turned around, saying coldly, "Since you and Jimmy were


    divorced, I hope you will stay away from him from now on. With his background, he could find a


    better wife."


    It seemed that E was happy to see them divorce.


    Ariah just smiled bitterly.


    It was seven o''clock in the evening. Jimmy came out of the office and was about to get some food,


    as Ariah should be hungry by now. Just then, his phone abruptly rang.


    Looking at the caller ID, he realized it was his mother. He picked it up casually and asked, "Mom,


    what''s up?"


    E said directly, "Hurry up ande back. I made a lot of delicious food for you today."


    Jimmy was about to refuse, but upon thinking for a moment, he asked, "Did you make soup too?"


    "Yes, it''s still simmering. You can have it when youe back."


    "Alright, I''ll be right back."


    E was happy to hear that and hung up the phone. On the other hand, Jimmy decided to take


    home-cooked meals for Ariah instead of doing takeaways, since it would cost him less time and the


    food from home would be much hygienic and tasty.


    Thinking about Ariah''s hunger, he drove home quite fast, and it only took him half of the usual time


    to get home by taking a shortcut.


    As soon as he arrived, the door opened. Apparently, E had been waiting for him. "Come in. It''s


    cold outside."


    Jimmy took off his coat, and E took over it to hang it up. Just as she was about to speak, Jimmy


    asked, "Is the food ready?"


    "Almost, I just need to finish that onest dish and we can start eating."


    "Then I''ll go and eat first," Jimmy said as he went to the dining hall. He nned to finish dinner


    quickly and then took the food to the hospital.


    However, E stopped him, to which Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Come here. There''s someone I''d like you to meet." E gave him a mysterious nce.


    Hearing that, Jimmyughed and refused, "Nah, I don''t have time to meet any guests today. I''ve to


    leave soon after dinner."


    "It won''t take you long." E red at her son and insisted, "Come with me!"


    Then, she took Jimmy with her forcefully.


    In the living room, a young girl in her twenties sat on the sofa quietly. Seeing Jimmye, she


    looked at him timidly with a blush.


    Jimmy narrowed his eyes and asked, "This is..."


    "Jean,e on here. Let me introduce you to my son, Jimmy." E waved to the girl.


    "Hello, Jimmy." Jean Jackson looked rather shy.


    "Mom, what are you doing?" Jimmyughed.


    "Jimmy, this is Jean Jackson." E continued to introduce Jean as if she didn''t hear Jimmy''s


    question, "Do you remember that I used to take you to the Jackson''s when you were a kid and you


    and your brother even made Jean cry?"


    Saying so, E then took Jean''s hand and said with a smile, "Jean, you were only two years old at


    that time and you just learned to walk. But, my sons were really naughty back then. They always


    made fun of you."


    Instantly, Jean''s face turned red. "Mrs. Hudson, it''s been a long time already. I don''t quite remember


    it anymore." "Ah, it''s okay if you don''t remember since you were too young at that time. But it


    doesn''t matter. Now that you havee back from abroad, you will have plenty of time to get along


    well with Jimmy." Hearing that, Jean nced at the tall and strong man next to her. He was really


    good-looking, and his temperament was hard and cold, which was exactly the type she liked.


    At the same time, E spotted the blush on Jean''s face and nudged her son slightly. "Jimmy, take


    Jean to dinner."


    Being nudged by his mother, Jimmy almost bumped into the girl, but thankfully, he stabilized himself


    in time and then helped the girl up, asking politely, "Are you alright?"


    Jean could feel his strong palm touching her shoulder. Her thin body seemed to be under his solid


    protection, and her breath was filled with his masculinity.

    "I-I''m fine," she said with a blush.


    Jimmy then let go of her and gave his mother a look. Without saying further, he went straight to the


    dining hall.


    Looking at the interaction between the two, E took Jean''s hand happily and followed.


    At the dinner table, Jimmy ate very quickly, as if someone was urging him, whereas E was


    praising how great Jean was. Jean came from a well- known and extremely educated family and


    she had studied abroad for many years.


    Meanwhile, Jimmy finished his meal in five minutes and nodded lightly to his mother''s words, then


    commented, "Miss Jean sounds like a great girl. She should be able to find a husband who can


    match her."


    After that, he stood up. "Mom, take your time. I have something else to attend to, so gotta go now."


    "Hey! Come back!" E hurriedly called out to him.


    Jimmy had no choice but to stop. "Yes, mother?"


    "Jean and I only took two bites, and you''re leaving. You''re not showing any courtesy at all. Come


    back and finish the meal with us!" demanded E with a sullen look.
