Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 671

Emily, who had been standing behind Ariah all this while, suddenly shouted, which made Ariah jump a little out of shock.

Edward?

Confused, Ariah shifted her gaze back and forth between the two of them.

Though their eyes didn't look exactly alike, their nose resembled each other.

As if trying to protect her, Emily warned, "Don't try to play tricks on Ariah! She's not like your other girlfriends. No matter how hard you flirt with her, she'll never fall in love with you. She's taken!"

Flustered, Ariah stood still without saying a word.

Why did this silly girl expose her relationship status?

What if the man in front of her was a bad person? Wouldn't she just be giving away her private information?

Also, was this man really trying to seduce her?

She hadn't heard it wrongly, had she?

"Ariah?" A charming smile tugged at Edward's lips.

"What a beautiful and pleasant name. I like it."

He said those words with a mellow yet sultry voice. If Ariah was an innocent young girl, she definitely would have gone head over heels for Edward.

It was a pity that she was no longer a young lady, but a young married woman.

Smiling, Ariah replied out of courtesy, "Why, thank you. You have a beautiful name yourself, Edward."

Fixing his deep blue eyes on her, he asked, "You think so?"

Oh God! Those pair of eyes were really getting on her nerves. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Staring into his pretty deep blue eyes, Ariah stuttered for the first time in her whole life, "Of... of course, your name is as beautiful as Emily's. Both of you have good genes and beautiful names."

Raising his brows in surprise, Edward questioned, "How did you know we were siblings?"

"Your noses resemble each others! It wasn't difficult to make a guess."

Besides, Emily had informed her that her family would come to pick her up. It wasn't hard to put two and two together and come up with this conclusion.

As Edward continued walking towards Ariah, his gaze was fixed on her. "What's your relationship with Emily? She listens to you well."

"We're friends," Ariah couldn't help but take a step back. It would be too close if he just took another step forward.

Raising his brows, Edward questioned, "Are you really just friends?"

"What else do you think we are?"

"You're the one to tell."

Knowing his little sister, she wasn't one to obey any rules at home. Even their parents had a hard time dealing with her sometimes. That was why he was shocked to see how obedient she had become in front of Ariah.

As he spoke, he moved closer. With the last word coming out of his mouth, his shadow had already engulfed Ariah.

That was enough!

Could this man just stay away from her?!

If she weren't in a relationship now, she would have considered getting together with him. But no, she was taken! What was he trying to do by getting so close to her?

Dragging Ariah into a corner, Emily warned, "Ariah, don't fall for his trap. All he has is looks! He actually has a really bad temper. Don't be fooled by his deep blue eyes. Those are his weapons to seduce women. Don't forget you have Jimmy!"

Afraid that she would fall for him, Emily kept muttering beside her ear.

Hearing that, Ariah felt funny.

She looked at the two siblings, unable to say a single word.

"What are you guys doing?"

Suddenly, another man's voice rang outside the ward.

As soon as Emily heard that voice, it was as if her life savior was here. Rushing to the man standing at the door, she shouted, "Jimmy, come here quickly! There's a man here trying to seduce Ariah!"

Ariah was at a loss for words.

Feeling awkward, Edward didn't say a word either.

Seeing Emily rushing to the door, Jimmy narrowed his deep eyes slightly and asked, "Really?"

Stepping into the ward, he scanned the man who was currently facing his back towards him.

Edward turned around to see the owner of the voice, and could immediately feel his invincible aura. The man's eyes were deep and dark, and his blaring gaze felt as if it could penetrate into his heart.

This man definitely had a complicated background.

Stretching out his arms, he offered his hand with a smile, "Hello, nice to meet you."

Taking a glance at his hands, Jimmy directly ignored it. He then looked at Ariah and raised his brows, "Why are you still here? Let's go."

Though Ariah wanted to leave, Emily was blocking her way, so she couldn't leave the room at all.

Jimmy's eyes suddenly turned cold, but he suppressed the anger rising within him. Lifting his arms, he grabbed Ariah's hands and pulled her out.

Seeing that her brother got completely ignored, Emily only wanted to leap in glee.

Well done, Jimmy, for showing up just in time!

At the same time, Edward retracted his slender fingers that hung awkwardly at mid- air. After gazing at the backs of the couple who had just left, he turned back to Emily, "You seem happy?"

Pouting her lips, Emily said as-a-matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm happy! Everyone tries so hard to flatter you ever since you were little. Have you ever felt this kind of disappointment? Hahaha! Tell me, how does it feel to be completely ignored?"

Hearing his sister's words, Edward sneered, "I'd describe you in two words, do you what that is?"

"What is it?"

After getting the question out of her mouth, Emily instantly regretted asking. He definitely wasn't going to say anything good.

"Nasty villain!" Edward looked at her with a smirk.

She knew it!

She knew nothing good will come out of his nasty mouth!

Emily huffed in annoyance. "Get out of here! I don't want to see you! Just you wait. The first thing I'm going to do when I get home is to tell Dad you bullied me!"

Not bothering to entertain her antics, Edward asked with dark eyes, "Was that woman earlier really married?"

"Of course! They are also very much in love with each other. I'm warning you, don't even try to meddle in their relationship!"

Not saying a word, Edward just stared at the spot where Ariah had left. The corners of his mouth lifted into a smirk.

Seeing her brother acting this way, Emily felt her scalp tingle. "Hey, don't tell me you're being serious? Ariah isn't like any other girls you've met. She's married. She has a husband!"

"As my sister, don't you even know how I am? As long as I'm interested in a woman, I don't care if she gave birth to a child, or has been in a marriage. It doesn't matter to me." "You..."

Fuming with anger, Emily began to worry about Ariah. She might fall into his trap!

Over the years, she had witnessed how her brother charmed countless women. He managed to make every woman he liked succumb to him.

Biting her lips in annoyance, she instantly regretted calling her family over to pick her up.

On the other side.

After Ariah was dragged out of the ward by Jimmy, she suddenly shook off Jimmy's hand after they've walked a little further.

Turning back, Jimmy asked, "What are you doing?" "I was just about to ask what are you doing?" Ariah rubbed her wrist. "Why didn't you call me before you came?"

Standing against the wall, Jimmy questioned, "Should I have called you in advance so that you can be prepared?"

"What should I be prepared for?"

"Prepare to hide the other man you were seeing."

Hearing that, Ariah went totally speechless.

Rolling her eyes, she retorted, "Are you blind? They looked so alike! Couldn't you tell that was Emily's brother?"
