chapter 27
Michael continued to play around with Ariana until they reach home. Alex got out the door and
waited for them outside. Michael got out with Ariana got out right behind him with her clothes a little
messy and her cheeks redden.
Alex noticed that both of them look exhausted. ‘Then boss couldn’t wait until he reaches home to
mess around with his wife? He’s behaving as if she will run away.’ Alex turned away. He couldn’t bare
to look at his boss face.
Michael realized how uncomfortable Alex is behaving and released him from work, “Alex, you can
go back. I am good for the day.”
“Okay boss.” Alex nodded and head off. He is unable to get drive from the villa so Michael would
allow him to drive back with the car.
After Alex went away, Michael and Ariana was still standing outside. Ariana like the fresh air on the
mountain side. Tall and short trees were all around. There is a lovely garden to the side with all the
different flowers you could find. The entire surrounding smells like nature.
Michael stand beside her with his hands on her waist admiring how immerse she is in breathing
the fresh air of the outdoors. Ariana really enjoy nature but what she is actually doing is taking in as
much as possible now because she does not know when she will have to leave this place. She have a
bad feeling it will be soon.
“Okay, I am done for now.” Ariana pulled on his sleeve and they went in together.
They went straight to their bedroom on the second floor. Ariana put her things aside and took off
her coat. Then she dropped her body on the couch. Michael sat beside her and pull her to his lap.
“Are you okay?” Michael was worried about her. There is something different about her since noon.
“I am fine. Didn’t you just asked me in the car?” Ariana did not think she was wearing her emotions
on her sleeve for him to figure out something.
Michael was also deep in thoughts. His mother wants to see him tomorrow and he knew it has
something to with the marriage of him and Samantha. This marriage was arranged since he was a
toddler.
Samantha was born a twin but she is the younger shift. The marriage was arranged him to marry
the first born but there was a tragic two months after the birth of the twins. Originally they are from
Country C and both family had and still has status there but he chose to live in Westron to avoid the
nagging of arranged marriage. Later his parents moved too in a neighboring city.
Samantha’s mother was kidnapped with the older twin Simone Miller. Three years later they found
her beaten beyond recognition in an old abandon building in Country C. Good news was that she is not
raped but the bad news is that she lost her memory.
The last thing she remembered was giving birth but she can only remember one baby. She doesn’t
remember having twins. They tried to get her all the help from the best doctors over the world but she
had yet to regain her full memory.
The Matthews’ wanted to stay by their arrangement so they decided to have him marry Samantha
instead. Before meeting Ariana, he didn’t mind who he get married to.
Michael sigh and stared at Ariana with doting eyes.
Ariana smiled at him and teased, “Are you getting soft on me now?” Michael turned it back at her,
“Oh, so you like it rough?”
Ariana blushed and slapped his chest, “When did I say that?”
“So now you decide to seduce me?” Michael liked when she act shy so he enjoyed teasing her a
lot.
“Please be serious.” Ariana was angry now.
Michael seemed to remember something, “The driver will bring you home to tomorrow.”
Ariana looked up at him curiously, “What do you mean?” she felt like it had nothing to with working
late.
He took her two tiny hands in his palms and carry them to his lips and kissed each of them.
“Honey, I am going to Cold Spring City to have dinner with my parents tomorrow.”
Ariana looked down at her feet with a sad face. She was not the fussy type but she never thought
she would be married without meeting her in laws. It doesn’t makes sense for him to introduce her to
his parents knowing their relationship is just contractual. “Okay.”
“You don’t seem happy about it.” He felt her sudden walls going up.
“She looked at him with pure eyes and whispered, “I don’t have a problem. They are your parents
and it is good to stay in touch.” She did not want to be misunderstood.
Michael thought she was sad because she thought that he did not want her to meet his parents. In
fact he wanted to take her to see his parents before they got married but things were not that simple.
His parents already have a preferred bride and they will not accept so quickly.
He wants to hold off for a while and give his parents time to accept it but first he needs to find a
way to have Samantha stop pestering him. If Samantha was the one to break the arrangement then it
would be good.
Ariana forced herself to smile and said, “When should I expect you back?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I will be back the same night but I will come back late at night.” Michael loved how considerate
she was at times.
“Okay, I haven’t seen Emily in a long while so I will go hang out with Emily after work.” Ariana think
it’s a good chance to catch up with her friend fact to face. After all, Michael does not let her out of his
sight on a regular day.
Michael frowned, “Just don’t go to any clubs or bar. It can be dangerous and I won’t be her to
assist you.”
“I can handle myself plus I won’t be alone.” Ariana did not think she needs Michael’s 24/7
protection.
“I don’t care what you say, two of my best bodyguards will follow you but they won’t stay too close
to hinder your space and privacy.”
Ariana did not want to argue with him over this. “Anything you say, I will listen to you.”
“Good girl. You are learning.” He rubbed her hair.
“Stop it. I am not a pet.” Ariana did not like it. Michael chuckled and stopped.
Michael noticed that she haven’t asked about what took place in his office at noon which means
she is waiting on him to open up to her.
He kissed her lips and looked her with doting smile. “Let us talk about what happen
today.”
