Chapter 730


    After they sat down in the restaurant, Ariah asked as Sharon drank a mouthful of water, "Why did


    youe alone? Where are your babies? How about Stanley? Didn''t hee with you?"


    How could Stanley, the doting husband, let the heavily pregnant Sharone out alone?


    "The kids went to their grandmother''s house.” Sharon put down her ss and said, "Stanley is very


    busy with work recently, so I''m alone at home. It''s so boring."


    Ariah thought for a moment and said, "I''ll meet you after work next time."


    "Alright!" Sharon shrieked gleefully.


    Jimmy, who was sitting next to her, frowned and said, "You two? No, it''s not safe for two pregnant


    women to hang out together. I can''t let you meet her after work."


    "What?"


    "Ariah is pregnant?" Sharon widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Ariah''s belly.


    Other than Ariah''s family and Jimmy, no one knew Ariah was pregnant.


    Sharon didn''t know, and she couldn''t tell from


    Ariah''s loose clothing either.


    Hence, she was overjoyed and looked even more excited than when Jimmy found out about it.


    "When did you get pregnant? Why didn''t you tell me? That''s so great!"


    Ariah blushed as Sharon''s loud shriek attracted some curious gazes. "Keep your voice down."


    "I''m so happy for you." Sharon covered her mouth and nodded.


    Ariah pulled Sharon''s hand and ced it on her stomach, and Sharon could clearly feel her bulging


    tummy.


    Watching from the side, Jimmy was particrly pissed.


    He had only managed to touch her tummy when he forced her into his embrace. Over the next few


    weeks, she avoided him as if he was a poisonous snake and did not allow him to get close to her.


    They even slept in separate rooms.


    Upon thinking of this, Jimmy locked his dark gaze on Sharon, and she could feel it. "Why are you


    staring at me?"


    "You''ve touched enough. Take your hand back."


    Sharon pouted.


    Leaning over, he wanted to touch his son too but Ariah pped his hand away.


    He gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand, his handsome face flushing in rage.


    Soon after, the food was served, and the two women were chatting while eating.


    Halfway through the meal, Jimmy suddenly put down the utensil in his hand and looked behind


    them with a strange expression.


    Ariah instantly noticed Jimmy''s odd reaction and looked in the direction he was staring at, and she


    saw something shocking.


    A wrath of fury instantly burned in her heart.


    Before Ariah could contain her emotions, Sharon, who was sitting across from her, noticed it and


    asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Ariah quickly lowered her head. "Nothing. Let''s eat. Hey, the meat is cooked... Sharon, don''t look!"


    Seeing Ariah''s odd expression, Sharon knew that there must be something odd behind her, so she


    wanted to turn and see, but Ariah grabbed hold of her arm hastily.


    Startled, Sharon stammered, "W-What''s wrong?"


    With her hand still holding Sharon''s, Ariah heaved a sigh of relief as she nced at the man and


    woman in the distance. "Uh, a waiter was walking behind you holding a hot soup, so I was afraid


    that you might bump into him."


    Indifferently, Sharon continued to eat.


    Ariah, on the other hand, was pursing her lips indignantly and her hands that were on her knees


    were shaking slightly. Jimmy sighed as he looked at her and reached out to hold her hand, but she


    quickly retracted her hand and red at him.


    The look in her eyes was clearly saying, "You men are all idiots!"


    Jimmy squinted innocently.


    Losing her appetite entirely, Ariah suggested after seeing that Sharon was done with her meal,


    "Let''s go shopping."


    Instantly, Jimmy stood up and went to pay the bill.


    While waiting for him, Sharon wanted to go to the washroom, so Ariah apanied her.


    When they went into the toilet stalls respectively, they heard a sultry female voice, "Stanley Jones is


    also a man. All men are horny. Tonight, he will lie to his wife, saying that he''s not going home, but


    he is spending the night with me at a hotel... What for, you ask? What else can a man and a woman


    do in a hotel room? I''ve been hinting at him for so long. Even a dummy would know what I meant.


    Besides, we''re business partners. He is a smart man. He won''t refuse my invitation..." "Alright, that''s


    it. He is waiting for me. Go and decorate our room romantically!"


    With a ssh, the sound of flushing echoed followed by the sound of high heels stepping on the


    floor as she headed out.


    There was silence in thedies'' room.


    After a long while, Ariah came to her senses and quickly knocked on Sharon''s door. "Sharon?"


    After a while, Sharon finally opened the door with her hand on her big belly and a gloomy


    expression.


    "Sharon, maybe it''s just someone who shares the same name," Ariahforted her.


    She didn''t believe her own words because she did see Stanley and a woman entering the private


    suite when she was eating in the restaurant.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    And that woman was the woman she saw hugging Stanley in his office the other day.


    Hence, she squinted furiously and even vented her anger on Jimmy.


    Standing in front of the washstand to wash her hands, Sharon licked her lips and stated, "I don''t


    think Stanley will cheat on me..."


    "Of course." Ariah avoided staring at her. "I''ll be the first to kill him if he dared to!"


    Sharon smiled.


    Ariah let out a sigh of relief.


    The moment they walked out of the washroom, Sharon''s phone suddenly rang. She pursed her lips


    as soon as she saw the caller ID. "It''s Stanley."


    Ariah looked at her and suggested, "Answer it and see what he says."


    Nodding, Sharon answered the call, "Hello, honey."


    Stanley on the other end of the line chuckled, sounding as if he was in a good mood. "What are you


    doing?"


    "I just finished dinner."


    "Don''t watch TV too much." Stanley raised his wrist to look at the time. "It''s gettingte. Go to bed at


    10:30, okay?"


    Back then, Sharon often stayed upte because of work. However, since she was pregnant, he had


    been forcing her to rest early and adjusting her daily activities.


    Sharon nodded and then asked, "When are youing home?"


    "I''m in the middle of a meeting. I''ll be home a littleter tonight."


    "Howte?" Sharon continued to ask, "Will you be back by 11?"


    Her question intrigued him. "Why are you suddenly concerned about my schedule today?"


    Usually, she almost never asked about his schedule, but she was behaving rather odd today.


    "I just want to know if you''ll be back by 11. I''ll wait for you tonight...”


    "Nonsense!" Stanley interrupted her. "It''s going to be veryte. Listen to me. Go to sleep. You don''t


    have to wait for me."


    There seemed to be someone urging him, so he quickly ended the call. Sharon grabbed the phone


    tight, suppressing the burning rage.


    At this time, Ariah was groaning in pain. Only when Sharon looked over that she realized that she


    had been clutching Ariah''s hand.


    Shocked, she blushed as she loosened her grip. "I-I''m so sorry! Are you okay?"
