Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 42

The moment they got in the car Ariana slapped him on his arm and roll her eyes, “Do you have to

be so intimidating?”

Michael chucked and held her hands to pull her on his legs.

He smashed his lips on her for a short kiss, “Do you have to be so adorable?”

“Because I am.” She pouted.

Michael was surprised by her answer, “When did you become a narcissist?”

Ariana kissed him on his cheeks and teased, “I guess Mr. Matthews is rubbing off on me. Who

knows?”

Michael pushed her down on the back of the car seat and press on her. He bit her on her lip, neck

and ears, “Which one of the Mr. Matthews?”

All Ariana could do was laugh because it felt tickled to her.

She decided to let herself go with her husband if she wants to keep him.

…

Michael sat on the bed with his back the head of the bed watching his wife applying her skincare.

He really like that his wife was relaxing around him but he still doesn’t know what is in her head.

He finally told his mother that she is his wife and not to worry about the company. His mother was

not please but he knew his father can keep her under control for now.

Ariana did not ask him anything about today and he was happy for that because he did not want to

talk about. Did she not asked because she trust him enough or because she didn’t care?

Thinking about that, Michael felt bitter in his heart. He needs to win her heart.

“What are you thinking about?” Ariana’s voice brought him back to reality.

He smirked, “I am thinking of what posture we should do tonight.”

Ariana regretted asking him anything. “Can’t you behave for once?”

Michael chuckled at her reaction. “Come on, let’s sleep. I promise not to trouble you tonight.”

They only cuddled for that night.

…

Two weeks flew by quickly and everything was normal.

“I am tired of eating in the cafeteria. Let us go out to eat today.” Kevin bickered between June and

Ariana.

“Me too.” June nodded.

Ariana roll her eyes at June, “Are you an echo?”

June and Kevin laughed.

“Alright, let’s go.” Ariana felt comfortable around them so she could always be herself rather than

being aloof.

She usually have lunch with them but recently Michael would force her to have lunch with him in

his office. Well, today he called to let her know that he was having a business lunch so she can have

lunch with her friends.

June rejoice, “Yeah, I haven’t hand lunch with you like forever.”

They went to the restaurant closest to the company. Their food was great but a little expensive.

They all had a joyous meal.

“Ariana, I noticed that the President only wants you for himself. Doesn’t he already have you at

home?” June complained. They knew she was actually the President wife but Ariana made them

promise to keep it a secret.

“You would have to ask him the next time you see him or do you want me to ask for?” Ariana

teased with a smile tugging at her lips.

June gasped, “Don’t you love me anymore?”

Ariana laughed at her faked anger.

Kevin kissed her cheeks and hugged her to his chest, “Don’t worry my love. I will love you for both

of us.”

“Awe, but it won’t be the same.” She whined.

“My God, you’re so extra!” Ariana cursed at her.

“Whatever, just don’t call my name to your scary husband.” June was so scared of Michael. The

last time she was provoking Ariana and he overheard. She swore he would have fired her.

“We have fifteen minutes leave. Let us pay the bill and go.” Kevin suggested and both ladies

nodded in agreement.

They paid the bill and exited the restaurant.

Ariana closed her eyes and inhaled the freshness of nature. Suddenly she felt someone grabbed

her by her wrist.

She opened her eyes in horror. Kevin and June looked at the situation in front of them puzzled.

They recognized the man. He had been in the news regular since lately. He is transitioning into the

CEO position of his family’s company but they did not expect Ariana to know such man.

“Adam, please let go of my hand.” Ariana stared at where he held her in disgust.

“Why do you have to behave like this?” Adam asked with visible hurt.

Ariana snorted, “Tell me, how do you want me to behave? Do you want me to welcome you with

open arms?” “Happy to burst your bubble, that will never happen again. Please go back to my sister.

She can satisfy your needs.”

Ariana tried pulling her hand away but Adam strength was greater than hers.

“Ari, I know I messed up before but can you please give me a chance and let us be together

again?” Adam was tired of the naggings from Gina. All she really cared about was material things but

Ariana was the type that cared about their wellbeing and future.

He made his desires get the best of him. They would have being married by now if not for his

mistakes.

June and Kevin was looking at them dumbstruck. ‘What the hell is happening here?’

Michael was finished with business and coming out of the restaurant but he was not paying

attention to the people in the distance. He was checking his phone.

Alex called out to him, “Boss, isn’t that Mrs. Matthews that is being held by a man?”

Michael head propped up instantly. It was in deed his wife and who is that, isn’t that Adam?

He couldn’t hear what they were saying so he decided to walk in their direction. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ariana back was turned to him. Adam saw him but did not think anything of it. He didn’t know that

he was Ariana’s husband.

Kevin’s and June’s faces lost all color the moment they spotted Michael. They opened their

mouths but there was no sound projecting.

When Michael got close, he heard Ariana said, “Let go of me with your dirty hand and please to

stop terrorize me. I have already moved on and happily married. What would my husband think if he

sees you holding me like this?”

Obviously Adam did not believe her, “Ariana stop playing around. You are only saying that

because you want me to let you go but I will not give up.”

“Mr. Richards, I would advised you kindly to take your hands off my wife.” Ariana heard the familiar

deep and cold voice behind her and she trembled in fear. ‘What if he misunderstood?’

Michael pulled Ariana to his chest and kissed her forehead. Ariana could feel the anger radiating

off his body. She wrapped her hands around his torso.

With his mouth opened wide from shock, Adam muttered, “Did you just say wife?”
