Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 29

The next day they both went to the company as usual.

At lunch Ariana called Emily, “Hey bestie.” They talked a lot over the phone but they haven’t seen Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

each other for a long time.

Emily has a tight schedule and usually on business trips. Ariana has been unavailable ever since

her marriage. Michael hardly want to let her out of sight for a second.

“Hey honey, are you okay? You rarely call at this time of the day.

Ariana chuckled, “You do know me best.”

“But of course…” Emily stopped for a while pouting as if Ariana could see her. Then she continued,

“… even though Mr. Matthews have taken you away from me. I am so jealous.”

Emily is a child by heart. Ariana find her amusing, “Don’t say that, you will always be my first love.”

Ariana knew how to calm her.

“Okay, I can accept that.” She chuckled and felt much better. “We haven’t gone out for a long time.

I miss you Ariana.”

Just what Ariana needs to hear, “Are you free tonight? Let us go out tonight.”

“That’s my girl. I have a meeting in few minutes but I will be off early. So about 7?”

“Yes, sounds good. I will send you the address later.” Ariana was happy, she is looking forward to

seeing her bestfriend she now considered a sister.

“Okay, I will hang up now.” The call was released and they went back to work.

The day flew by. Ariana had invited June and Kevin to come along.

Michael had already left for his mother. She didn’t see him before he left but he did called her.

…

Michael left in the afternoon so he got to Cold Spring City a little over three o’clock.

He pulled up into his parents’ driveway and got out of the car. He had no intentions of staying too

long. He would prefer being home with his wife than listening to his mother forcing him into a marriage

he did not ask for.

He stepped into the house where he was greeted by the maid. He nodded in response.

He heard laughter coming from the living room, “You grew into a lovely woman. My son should be

grateful to you as his wife.”

He cursed inwardly, “I knew my mother wouldn’t call for me for nothing.”

He entered the living room and greet his parents, “Mom, Dad.” Mrs. Matthews got up to hug his

son.

“I haven’t seen you for so long and yet you are not happy to see your parents. You are lucky

Samantha wants to marry a cold man like you.”

“Auntie, Mickey is only cold on the surface so I don’t mind.” Samantha did not mind because she

believes that one day he will be hers.

Mrs. Matthews smiled at her, “Michael do you see how sensible your fiancée is?” Mr. Matthews

haven’t said anything as yet.

Michael did not make any comment on it because he already knew who his wife is. “Sammy, I

didn’t expect to find you here. You were just in Westron yesterday.”

Samantha fidget with her hemline, “I came her to look for auntie and uncle for the day. I didn’t

expect you to be here.”

She knew he will come. After she left the office yesterday, she call Mrs. Matthews and advised her

that there is an employee trying to seduce Michael and now he is neglecting her.

Mrs. Matthews is impulsive so she would call Michael to push him into the marriage as soon as

possible.

She is not willing to give him up to no other woman. The only woman might stand a chance is her

twin sister because he was originally hers. She would be reluctant but she would do it for her as an

apology of their sisterly separation.

“Son can you come to my study room? I want to have a chat with you.” Mr. Matthews finally speak.

“Sure dad.” He kissed his mother cheeks and walked to the study room leaving Samantha and his

mother.

In the Study Room

After Michael ensure the door is closed, he walked to the couch and sat down. The room was

sound proof once the door is shut.

“Son, do you think it is really her?” His father looked at him with lazy eyes.

“Yes father but I am not hundred percentage sure.” Michael needed more proof to verify. There are

simpler ways to do this but he did not want to alarm the enemy when he is not sure all who is involved.

“Well, you have to be careful and keep her safe. Samantha will not be an intentional harm but the

Miller family cannot know about it as yet.” Mr. Matthews was deep in thoughts and had an unreadable

expression.

“I know father, I will keep her safe until this problem can be solved.” Michael already have a plan.

At this time, there was a knock at the door and there came Mrs. Matthews voice “Dinner is

ready.”
