Chapter 670
David drove the car back to the police station. Throughout the journey, Jimmy didn''t even say a
word.
When they finally reached their destination, Jimmy opened his eyes and said, "Stop the car here.
You can go in first, I''m going to smoke."
"Aye, alright."
For some reason, David felt that Jimmy seemed to be in a bad mood aftering out of the
infirmary.
Not daring to ask anymore questions, he took a step out of the car. Suddenly, he noticed something
from the corner of his eyes. Surprised, David asked, "Captain, are you going to propose to Ariah?"
Hearing his question, Jimmy nced at him and asked, "What?"
"Look!" David smiled and said, "Your ring box fell out."
Looking at the direction David pointed at, Jimmy saw the box that fell out of his pocket.
Picking up the box, Jimmy put it into his pocket and asked, "Did you exchange numbers with Ariah
on WhatsApp?" "That''s right. How did you know that?"
"Then keep your mouth shut. Don''t talk nonsense to her on WhatsApp."
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
"Don''t worry! Your secret is safe with me," answered David. Wasn''t he just trying to give Ariah a
surprise? Seriously, he didn''t have to purposely tell him to keep it a secret!
With that, Jimmy waved him away, "Go now."
Instead of leaving him alone, David stayed. "Captain, how are you going to propose to Ariah? Why
don''t you tell me? I''ll help you out!"
"Who said that I was going to propose?"
"If not to propose, why did you buy a ring?"
"Who said buying a ring means you have to propose? There are so many married people out there,
do you think every man with a ring proposed to a woman?"
"Well, maybe not every man proposed..." David pouted. "Captain, don''t tell me you''re not going to
propose to Ariah? You''re just buying a ring for her for the sake of buying?"
Not knowing what to say, Jimmy kept quiet.
What was the point of a marriage proposal? He had already bought a ring. Wasn''t it enough to
express his feelings?
"Then let me give you a piece of advice. If you don''t propose to her, I don''t think Ariah will agree to
remarry you!"
Shooting daggers at David, Jimmy snapped, "Shut your mouth, will you?"
"I''m just telling the truth! If Ariah wanted to remarry you, she would have done it a long time ago, but
she didn''t. Do you know what that means?"
Hearing that, Jimmy froze for a second. David''s words made sense. Then, he narrowed his eyes out
of skepticism and asked, "What does that mean?"
"It means that Ariah wants you to do something big! For example, you have to get down on one
knee and propose to her in public!"
With a smile, Jimmy asked, "You''ve watched too many dramas, haven''t you?"
His smile was more of an offensive smirk.
Patting his chest, David answered, "If you don''t believe me, then forget it! Women are all the same.
Even though as men we feel that it''s embarrassing to kneel on the streets and propose, women, on
the other hand, will be moved by these actions."
In the end, David had begun to mutter, "I already have Ariah''s character all figured out. She looks
stubborn on the outside but she''s very softhearted. If you''re nice to her, she will help you
unconditionally..."
"You''ve had it all figured out?" Jimmy sneered. "I haven''t even figured out her character, yet you
have already?"
Oops, that was awkward.
Without replying, David got off the car and ran back into the station. "I''ll head in first."
Looking back at David, Jimmy sat on his spot for a while. When he suddenly thought of something,
he sighed and took out his phone to make a call.
There was no answer from the other side of the phone.
Jimmy then snorted and sent a text message.
"Someone else will be taking over Kevin''s case three dayster. If you want to kill him, do it in three
days. Don''t me me for not telling you beforehand. You can kill him, but if you don''t seed, you
have to bear the responsibilities on your own."
After a while, a text message came from the other end, "What?"
"Don''t get me wrong, I''m not trying to help you. I just can''t bear to see you tortured by painful
memories."
Even after waiting for a long time, he didn''t get any reply from the other side.
Narrowing his eyes and staring at the phone, Jimmy edited his message before sending out, "I
know you were the one who followed me to the infirmary earlier. Don''t do anything rash to Kevin for
now. The superiors will take over this matter in three days. I won''t interfere with anything you do by
then."
"Is that true?"
This time, the person replied pretty quickly.
Jimmy then asked, "What do I benefit from lying to you?"
"Thank you."
After reading the message, Jimmy didn''t reply. He then deleted the chat.
At the hospital.
Ariah had just returned from buying Emily some food from the cafeteria. When she pushed open the
door and walked in, she saw a tall man tugging at Emily.
"Let her go!"
Ariah didn''t even think much before she scowled.
"Ariah, help me!"
Emily shouted.
Initially, Ariah was suspicious of the man in the room. Could she have misunderstood the situation?
But now that she heard Emily''s cry for help, she didn''t hesitate to throw the food she had just
bought onto the person in front of her.
"I said let her go, you b*stard!"
"Sh*t!"
Turning around, the man cursed in a hoarse voice. Anger painted all over his face.
Looking at the man who had just turned around, Ariah was stunned.
Woah, what a handsome face.
It was not that she wanted to swoon over him—he was just incredibly handsome!
The man''s facial features stood out. He had bristly brows, a hawkish nose, and a concrete jawline.
His eyes, in particr, were a shade of deep blue, just like the sea.
He was a mixed-blood.
Moreover, he was a good-looking mixed-blood!
Usually, Ariah was a rational person. She couldn''t believe she had just swooned over a guy that she
forgot what she was doing.
It wasn''t until the man started staring at her with a pair of thick brows and asked coldly, "Who are
you?" that Ariah reacted.
"Ehem!"
Clearing her throat, she mentally scolded herself for going head over heels for a man. After all, she
had experienced a lot and had seen a lot of handsome men before.
"Ariah!"
Rushing to get out of the bed, Emily ran straight towards Ariah and hid behind her. "Save me, this
b*stard wants to take me out of the hospital!"
Patting her arm, Ariahforted, "Don''t worry, as long as I''m here, no one can take you away."
"Okay!"
An exasperated look appeared on the handsome man''s face. "Emily, stop messing around!"
"Who''s messing around with you? I said I won''t leave, so I''m not moving an inch! I''ll go with you
when I want to leave!" Emily retorted.
Narrowing her eyes, Ariah asked, "Do you know each other?"
"No, we don''t!" Emily shook her head.
"Hm?" Ariah enquired again.
"We...we know each other, but we''re not close," Emily stuck out her tongue.
Seeing Emily''s reaction, Ariah went speechless.
Frowning, the handsome man looked at Emily curiously. Was this the Emily that he knew? She was
a fearless woman who didn''t listen to anyone''s words. Why would she suddenly be so obedient to
another woman?
Where did this womane from?
The man''s straining gaze was making Ariah feel ufortable. She then frowned, "Sir, since Emily
clearly said that she doesn''t want to go with you, please leave. You''re not weed here."
Upon hearing Ariah''s words, the man was stunned at first, but then heughed, "You''re kicking me
out?"
ring at him, Ariah asked, "Don''t you understand what I said?"
With that, the man''s smile grew. Taking a big stride, he walked towards her. It was impossible for
any woman to resist the manly aura exuded by the man who was walking towards her.
"Enough, Edward!"
