Darling, only I can be your man novel 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.

　　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?”
