Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 18

Michael took Ariana into a Jewelry store and whispered in her ear, “My wife, we will need to

choose a ring.”

Ariana played with her fingers and blushed at his words ‘My wife’. Since Adam left her for Gina,

she never thought of marrying anyone else. It is nice but it seems it won’t be for long. In the blink of an

eye it will be one year and they will both go their separate ways.

“Since we will only be married for one year, why get wedding rings?” Ariana felt that wedding rings

was not necessary for a nominal marriage. They weren’t in love and Michael would never love her.

“What is going on in this head of yours?” Michael did not know if he should be amused or irritated

by her sometimes.

“I am just being prepared.” She pouted.

“Prepared for what? Do you want to divorce me so badly? Why don’t you wish for us to grow old

together?” he asked her so many questions in one breath, Ariana had no think clearly.

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff. The staffs in the Jewelry shop did not hear their

conversation for they were speaking softly. In their eyes, they looked quite intimate and they were

wondering who she was. They never heard of Mr. Matthews being closed to any woman.

Once there was a rumor that the Matthews Family wanted him to marry the daughter of another

big family but the news died down as quickly as it appeared.

Michael was dissatisfied with the mentality of Ariana. It seems as she really hated him. Michael

knew that she only agreed to the contract marriage for assistance of finding her mother but he still felt

sad of her distance attitude towards him.

The Shop Assistant noticed that they have finished talking to each other and walked over, “Mr.

Matthews, what can we do for you today?” she approached with a bright smile then she turned to look

at Ariana.

Ariana noticed her stare but did not say anything. Michael did not say anything to the Shop

Attendant for his mood was now sour. He pulled Ariana to a section of the shop that consist of

engagement and wedding rings. There were a lot of couples ring and they were all unique. One set of

each item, any other duplicate would be fake.

“Please choose the ring of your choice. They are all unique in their own ways.” Michael stated with

no expressions. Ariana looked at him puzzled, she was wondering what had gotten into him. He was

fine a moment ago. She did not think too much into it and shrugged her shoulder.

Ariana looked at the married bands in the glass case and was fascinated by their beauty but their

price was atrocious, she couldn’t afford any of them even if she saved her earnings from this life to the

next.

As if Michael could see through her, he said arrogantly, “Don’t worry about the cost, I will take care This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

of it. Besides, this Mall is owned by the Matthews’ Family.”

Ariana was shocked, she had keep an eye out for him throughout the last two years especially in

the Business and Finance section of the Newspapers. She watched him from a far and had never

regard herself to be married to him one day. It was like a dog chasing after the bird.

She inspect the rings thoroughly while the Shop Assistant described each ring to her carefully. She

liked them all but she did not want to spend too much of Michael’s money, furthermore they will be

divorced in a year.

Ariana chose the simplest pair and it still too expensive for her. She wanted to refute getting a ring

but he saw the man’s gloomy expression. He looked like he would explode any moment now.

The wedding ring that was chosen was white gold with a feasible diamond in the center and four

tiny pieces of diamond on either side. The Shop Assistant looked at her weirdly, “Are you sure this is

the one that you want? There are many others here that carry more attraction.” Even though the ring

was expensive but it was too simple.

Michael did not like her choice, he would have chosen something fancier. He saw that she liked

the rest but chose the cheapest and the simplest. He would be stupid if he did not understand her

meaning. Who told her he needed help saving money? And he definitely don’t plan on letting her go

after one year. He only told her one year to get her to agree to his proposal.

Michael frowned and looked at the Shop Assistant, “If that is the one that she wants, then the order

is final.”

“Yes sir. We will get it packed up for you.” She went around the glass case to take out the ring but

Michael stopped her.

“You don’t have to pack it up now. I will come back to pick it up in two days. I need the pair and I

want her name to be engrave into mine and mine into hers.” He gave her more instruction and then

paid the bill.

Ariana take in the man giving instruction to the Shop Assistant and she fell into awe. The man

features was like a painting, it was pure perfection. He was like a King ruling over his country and its

people. He spoke decisively.

Michael noticed Ariana’s stare of admiration and felt good. Finally this woman know how to act like

a human. She was usually so cold and indifferent. Without looking at her, he asked, “Have you seen

enough? Or do you want to have me right here?”

Ariana blushed and turned away with her hands crossed over her chest muttering, “Rogue, who

wants to look at you?”

All the dissatisfaction Michael felt earlier faded by her reaction. The corner of his mouth was raised

and he looked down at the silly woman with a smile. It felt so good to make fun of her. After all, she

looks like a rabbit when she is angry. So adorable.
