Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 44

In the Fearon’s Home

“Dad!” Gina flung the door of her father’s study room without knocking.

Her parents were seated in the study room having a private discussion.

Angela first responded, “Sweetheart, what is the matter?”

Angela never allow her to go through any hardship so she was upset seeing her daughter angry.

She hugged her daughter as soon as she came closer.

Gina started crying, letting out all her frustration.

“Who is responsible for your tears?” Ashton questioned in anger.

Gina looked at her daddy with red eyes. Her mother motioned her to be seated while she continue

to hold her in her embrace.

“Who do you think? Your precious daughter of course.” She answered sarcastically.

Angela and Ashton figured must be Ariana. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Angela sneered, “Ariana had really gotten cocky since she started sleeping with the wealthy but let

us see how long it will last.”

Gina was still sobbing from frustration. She wanted revenge so badly. She just need to get Ariana

out of Mr. Matthews’ sight. She can’t be too careless like the last time.

Ashton did not say nothing. He believes that Michael would dispose of Ariana when he is done

with her, after all, she does not have the support of her family and those wealthy family only married for

business.

“So tell me, how did Ariana offend you?” Ashton asked with curiosity.

Gina sniffed twice, “You know I went out with Adam today for lunch.”

They nodded.

“She was trying to seduce him and when I attacked her about it, she called Michael Matthews to

defend her. He even threaten Adam and almost tell him about my marriage with Mr. Johnson just

because of her.” she lied so smoothly anybody who weren’t there would believe her easily.

“She did what? I need to teach that brat a lesson.” Ashton flew in rage.

“Dad, she is ungrateful. You and mom raised her and this is how she treats us just because she

have a man backing her.” Gina wanted her dad to get angrier so he can revenge her.

“I don’t know why I didn’t let her leave with her bitch of a mother.” Ashton growled.

Angela stopped him immediately, “Honey calm down. We will deal with Ariana but first let us find a

way to have Johnson and Gina divorced without Michael knowing.”

Ashton calm down and rest back in his seat, “That would have been easy if Johnson was willing.”

“Mom, I don’t understand. He is not willing to cross my path and even when I went to his company,

he refused to see me but he don’t want to work out a deal for the divorce.” Gina could not put the

puzzle together.

“Don’t worry about it sweetheart. Your dad and I will find a solution.” Angela kissed her cheek and

said softly.

“… but mom, Adam and I are schedule to get married in less than two months. I cannot allow him

to find out before that.” Gina exclaimed.

Her parents sigh. They hate how their little princess was unhappy all because of Ariana and how

she have a powerful man behind her at the moment.

“I have an idea.” Angela suddenly looked at Ashton with hopeful eyes.

Both her husband and daughter turned their head to her direction with curiosity.

“What is it mom?” Gina was praying this idea will give her a happy ending.

“Go on.” Ashton lightly ordered.

Angela cleared her throat and started, “Ariana.”

They both repeated at the same time with confusion, “Ariana?”

She rolled her eyes at them, “Ariana is currently sleeping with Michael Matthews. How about we

ask her to plead for her sister?”

“Mom she hates me. He did it in the first place because of her.” Gina had no hope in that idea. She

was sure Ariana wanted her to rot in hell if possible.

“Honey, how do propose we do that now? We’re not on speaking terms at this moment.” Ashton

sigh. If it was before she met Michael then that would be easy but she had learned to fend for herself in

the past two months.

Even though Ashton and Angela knew that Michael Matthews cared about Ariana. They still

doesn’t know about the marriage. Gina learnt about it because of the encounter earlier today.

“My dear husband, I love you but sometimes you are slow.” She smiled and shake her head at her

husband.

He smiled at her, “Then please enlighten me my dear wife.”

Angela continued, “Ariana has always wanted your love and affection. Other than her mother, this

is what she craved more.”

Gina looked at her mother with amusement. Her mother was her rock. She always came through

for her.

Ashton looked at his wife with realization. It was true, he stopped caring about her after her mother

left.

He would need to work her way back to her asking for forgiveness. Then he can ask her for the

favor but it needs to be done quickly.

…

It was now night and Ariana was preparing for bed when her phone rang.

She stretched for the phone on the bedside table. The only person would call her this late is Emily

and she already talked to Emily earlier.

When she looked at the phone and saw who it was. Her heart accelerated.

Michael was on the bed with his laptop going through some emails when he heard her phone. He

looked at her and noticed that her body went stiff. He was curious to know who it was.

The phone rang but Ariana did not answer. She have a gut feeling that her father was calling her to

insult her about today’s incident.

“Who is calling you this late?” Jealousy coating his tone. Michael wondered if it is Adam.

Ariana ignored him which made him shut down the computer to glare at her when the phone rang

again. He couldn’t see the screen.

“Hello Dad. Why did you call this late at night?” Ariana took a deep breath and answered

emotionlessly even though her heart was in pain and she was far from being calm.

Unexpectedly she heard a tender fatherly voice on the other end speak, “Hey Cupcake!”

‘Did he call the wrong number?’
