Chapter 550
After sending Emily back to the Hudsons'', Jimmy was going to leave, but E stopped him angrily.
"Are you gonna just leave like that without even stopping to talk to me?"

Ariah stood by Jimmy''s side awkwardly. It was obvious that E wasn''t happy to see her.
Meanwhile, Jimmy just repliedzily, "Well, you''re receiving guest, so we wouldn''t wanna stay long
to bother you."
The guest was Jean, which was why Jimmy wasn''t happy to stay.
His family did not like Ariah, but they should at least show some respect to her.
Therefore, he couldn''t stand them fixing him up with Jean in front of Ariah.
"Stop right there!"
E shouted, "If you step out of that door today, don''t evere back again!"
Jimmy frowned. Just then, Ariah pulled his arm and whispered, "I''m starving. Why don''t we stay for
dinner?"
Knowing that she was trying to ease the conflict, he took a deep look at her andpromised.
Then, Ariah smiled ingratiatingly at E and exined, "Please don''t me Jimmy. It was me who
wanted to go back early. Initially, he did intend to stay and keep youpany."
E was a clever woman, so naturally, she understood that Ariah was trying to prevent conflict from
being sown between Jimmy and her.
But she just snorted. "Tsk, I know my son. He just doesn''t want to stay."
E was angry that Jimmy intended to leave without taking some time to catch up with her.
Nevertheless, Ariah continued saying with a smile, "Don''t worry. You''re his mother. He still cares
about you inside."
Hearing that, E was happy, though she still sounded discontented. "Don''t try to tter me."
"Nah, I''m not trying to tter you. In fact, I know you don''t like me and that''s okay with me."
E was surprised by her attitude and gave her a weird look.
Shrugging her shoulders, Ariah turned around to look for Jimmy. When she passed by Jean, she
thought for a moment before walking over and saying, "It seems like Jimmy''s mother likes you very
much." "It''s none of your business." Jean rolled her eyes, suspecting that Ariah was here to pick a
quarrel with her.
"She doesn''t seem quite happy. Perhaps you could try to enlighten her a little." Ariah looked at her
with a faint smile. "Don''t you want to marry Jimmy? Treat his mom well. Maybe she could help you
with that."
Choked at Ariah''s words, Jean was speechless.
Her expression was the same as that of E, as she gave Ariah a strange look.
Seeing that, Ariah raised her eyebrows. "What? I''m trying to help you there."
Jean gaped at her as she had never seen such a woman who would give their husband away into
another woman''s arms.
"Pfft..." Coming down from upstairs, Emily just happened to hear what Ariah had said and couldn''t
helpughing.
Instantly, Ariah noticed that she had changed into warmer clothes and smiled. "Good for you! These
clothes are good-looking and yet they keep you warm."
Emily circled Ariah''s arm, curious about what had just happened. "Who''s that woman? I don''t like
her. She''s like a third wheel." "I don''t like her either."
"Then why did you ask her to please Jimmy''s mother?"
"Silly girl, I was just saying. Pleasing E doesn''t necessarily guarantee that Jimmy will fall in love
with her." Ariah chuckled.
Moreover, Ariah and Jimmy''s rtionship was quite stable now, so she wouldn''t worry about Jimmy
finding another woman.
Hearing that, Emily was surprised a little before she nodded along.
After the meal, Emily took Ariah to her room whereas Jimmy waited downstairs. Seeing that,
Jimmy''s father, Mack Hudson, who was sipping a cup of tea, suggested, "Jimmy, would you like to
y chess?"
"Nah, I''m good." Jimmy looked around. "Where''s mom?"
"Did you have an argument with her again?" Mack sighed. "She had been keeping quiet during the
whole meal and seemed to have little appetite. If you did make her angry, you should go and
apologize to her now."
Right then, Jimmy spotted E in the living room and said, "Alright, I''ll go and apologize, lest you
can''t sleep at night."
"Tsk, you little brat."
Jimmy then came to the living room and saw that E was arranging the flowers in vases. "Nice
flowers. When did you start liking floral design?"
Instantly, E rolled her eyes at him. "Are you not gonna apany that woman?"
"She was talking to Emily upstairs."
"Emily is also not easy to deal with because she always likes to talk back to me. It seems like the
two of us are not gonna get along well after she''s married into our family."
"You''re worrying too much." Jimmy picked up an apple from the table and took a bite. "Maybe she
and Kobi will move abroad in the future."
Hearing that, E pinched him on the arm and snapped, "Jimmy, are you trying to piss me off
again?"
"I''m telling the truth." Saying that, Jimmy threw the apple into the bin, as it didn''t taste good, and
then wrapped his arm around E''s shoulder. "Anyway, mom, are you really that dislike of Ariah?"
E gave him a sidelong nce. "What? Are you gonna speak for her?"
"She''s my wife. Naturally, I''ll stand on her side."
"You..."
"Mom, don''t get angry so easily. You''ll get wrinkles." Jimmy patted her on the shoulder and sighed.
"It''s normal for one to speak for their wives. Dad would do the same too. Just now, he sensed that
you were unhappy during supper, so he asked me toe over and make it up to you."
"Okay, but your attitude is not like you''re trying to make it up to me." E snorted.
Quickly, Jimmy smiled and apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn''t have upset you, although I don''t think I''m
wrong in standing up for my wife."
"You''d better stop talking to me, or I''ll get angry again," said E upon taking a few deep breaths.
Jimmy just sighed. "Oh well, it seems that you really need to cool down. Why don''t we continue
after you calm down?"
"What''s there to talk about?" E gave him a re.
"Well, we better talk this through today because I don''t want Ariah to feel awkward again ining
next time."
Knowing that he meant it, E fell silent for a long while before asking, "Do you really wanna get
back together with her?"
With a look of determination, Jimmy nodded.
E frowned. "What''s so good about her? You should take a look at other women too. Maybe
they''re even better than her."
"Other women? Like Jean?" Jimmyughed. "Mom, I''m telling you seriously now. I wouldn''t fall in
love with Jean, ever. So stop fixing me up with her."
Right away, E''s face turned pallid as she realized that her son really took no interest in Jean.
"Ariah is a good girl." Jimmy straightened up, getting serious. "I''ve told dad about this before. You
two should ept Ariah as my wife sincerely. Otherwise, I''m afraid we don''t have much to talk
about anymore."
Hearing her son''s words, E was shocked.
Jimmy then added, "Mom, you''re smart. I know you''ll make the right choice between making me
your enemy or having a happy family."
After he said that, he turned around and left, leaving E to think about this matter alone.
E looked at her son''s back and stood rooted to the ground for a long time.
