Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 38

“Hey darling, I haven’t seen you in a while.” Millie Gayle tried to sound chirpy to mask her

discomfort and guilt but her red

and puffy eyes betrayed her.

Ariana pulled her into a hug and rub her back lightly, “I don’t know why you were crying but I hope

it is nothing serious and you will be okay.”

Ariana had always liked her. She remembered that she was her mother’s only friend and over the

years she had send clothes and money every year on her birthday and tell her to hide it from her father.

Alex looked between them nervously. He was strictly advised by his boss not to disclose any

information to his wife but now they have been caught directly by her.

When he turned around to look back at the President, he was sitting there well calm and compose

as if this has nothing to do with him. Boss is really something else.

“I am sorry Ariana, but I have to go now.” Millie did not want to cry in front of Ariana and she did

not want her to develop any hatred for her even though she deserves it. She removed herself from

Ariana’s arm and walked fast to the elevator.

Ariana tried calling after her with no luck.

She walked in the office and Alex hurriedly scurried away.

She went to sit on the couch but Michael called her over to sit on his lap.

Ariana face got red from blushing. This man is like a horny animal, nothing more than he wants to

touch her. She thought.

Michael knew what she was thinking about, “Why are you so red?” he smirked at her.

“Shut up. If not, I am leaving.” Ariana felt embarrassed from his teasing.

“I am sorry honey. Come here.” Michael had to sigh in defeat. He definitely have a stubborn and an

unruly wife.

Ariana walked over to him and he pulled her in his arms. Without hesitation, he slams his lips on

hers.

She pulled away and asked with curiosity, “Why was that lady here?”

Michael knew she would have questions.

He did not want to hide the truth from her but he did not want to tell her either, especially without

proof.

Ariana take in his reaction and noticed he had an internal battle going on.

But she wanted the truth and her gut feeling is telling her that it has something to do with her and

finding her mother.

“Michael!” she nudged him. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He tighten his grip on her waist and looked deeply at her. “She was here due to the investigation.”

Ariana throat went dry and she immediately swallowed. She noticed Millie’s Red and puffy eyes,

she had being crying. Could it be that something terrible happen to her mom?

No, she could not accept that.

“Michael, tell me. I can see that you’re holding back.” She ran her soft fingers across his

cheekbone and spoke softly.

Her voice was s melodious in his ears and it travelled straight to his heart. He did not want to lie to

her but he cannot bare to see her sad.

“Baby, some things I can explain clearly but I promise I will soon.” Michael just wanted her to give

up the topic but Ariana was adamant to learn the truth.

Michael could only sigh in defeat even though he still didn’t plan on giving her too much

information without evidence now, “Your mother had a memory issue and she would forget things.

Sometimes she would lose them permanently and sometimes temporarily.”

“How do you know that? Did you find her and if so, where is she?” Ariana was getting agitated with

this information. Her mother must be suffering somewhere out there. “We need to get her quick.”

Michael stared at the troubled rabbit and sigh. This is the reason why he don’t want to tell her

anything without the full package.

“Calm down. This is the information that was relay to me just now from Mrs. Gayle. We don’t know

where she is currently but I promise I will gather all the information soon. I just want you to know that

she did not abandon you on purpose.”

“What do you mean?” she recalled asking Millie over the years especially during college days and

she did not know anything. She always tell her that she went back to her family which nobody knew

about. It seems her mother is a mysterious woman.

“According to the investigation done, your mother never introduce her family to anyone including

your father. For all I know, the name Denise Fearon might not have been her real name.

Let us talk about this when we have solid information. These are merely people’s words.”

She nodded and decides to trust her husband. He has the power to find her. He had gotten more

leads than her in a month.

…

“Are you going to work all day with me on you?” Ariana asked in frustration. The man would not

allow her get up, not even to use the bathroom.

Michael pupil contracted, “That sounds like a plan.” He immediately started kissing her and

squeezing her twin ladies. Finally start roaming the rest of her body.

She wanted to protest but her body got weak from his kiss and touch. Michael held her waist with

one hand and used the other one to lift her dress and stroking her inner thighs with his fingers.

Michael released her lips so they could both breathe in oxygen.

Like an angry Lioness, she roared, “What is wrong with you? This is an office and anyone can walk

in on us.”

Michael looked at the sweet woman in his arms and couldn’t help but smile down at her baby

angelic face. Her bruised lip was barely visible. “Who would dare barge into my office without knocking

or my consent?”

Ariana thought about it and even though nobody entered the office since she came, she suddenly

had a bad feeling.

“Baby, you are worried about nothing and you are my wife.” Michael hate that the relationship is

like having an affair outside his marriage.

Ariana remained quiet and allowed him to touch her but it did not ease her worry.

Michael started kissing her again and her hands flew around his neck unconsciously.

Suddenly they heard the door opened, “Michael Angelo Matthews, what the hell are you

doing?”
