All the way home, Samuel kept laughing. Even when he got home and got into bed, the man continued to smile broadly as if he had just witnessed a spectacular comedy show.
Initially, Ariana only watched her husband’s behavior. But seeing the strange and unusual behavior that continued until the house was even brought to bed, he who was surprised of course chose to ask directly rather than guess about what really happened.
“Why are you laughing so much? Is there something funny?”
Samuel shook her head. Finishing his laughter, the man slowly answered Ariana’s question.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“I find it funny when I remember the conversation between you and Valerie at the gala dinner earlier.”
Actually, from the start, Samuel didn’t expect that when she and Ariana came to the gala dinner tonight, she would meet Valerie again. Because his ex-girlfriend deliberately approached him, Samuel also didn’t want to miss the moment to directly introduce Valerie to his wife.
The unexpected finally happened. Valerie, who at first tried to show her fangs and seemed to want to bully Ariana, in the end was at a loss for words.
“Ah, so you are the woman Samuel married to replace me?” Valerie asked sarcastically. Then the woman looked back at Ariana’s appearance from head to toe.
Ariana just smiled. Trying to respond casually to all of Valerie’s words, which from the start really seemed to be deliberately inviting her to go to war.
“Yes, why?”
“Funny,” said Valerie. “Samuel’s taste is really low,” said the woman disdainfully.
“What do you know about my taste?”
Not Ariana, even Samuel who was provoked by emotion. Seeing her husband’s signs that were starting to get hot, Ariana turned her head then shook her head. Ask the husband to calm down.
“So, what’s high class taste like? Like you?” asked Ariana on purpose.
Truly, Ariana was not the least bit afraid let alone trembled. Even though from a social standpoint Valerie might be superior to him, he still wouldn’t let anyone dare to trample on him.
“Of course. Just from appearance, we are very different. Besides, you really enjoy the role. Don’t be too happy. Samuel has always loved only me,” said Valerie confidently.
Ariana’s eyebrows lifted high. Staring lightly, the woman simply replied.
“Oh, yeah? Then, I have to worry, is that it?”
“You should know yourself,” Valerie said later. “Before Samuel was as successful as she is now, I was beside her. I was the one who supported and always accompanied her until she finally succeeded until now. So, the one who is more suitable for her partner is me, not you.”
Ariana laughed. Even amused by what Valerie told him.
“Strawberry mango pineapple, sorry, I’m not hot. But, I think I really need to thank you. Thank you very much for taking care of and taking care of my soul mate beforehand.”
Valerie’s face reddened. It wasn’t that Ariana was annoyed by all of his words, instead she was the one who was provoked and really wanted to swear as much as she could.
“You still can’t move my position.”
Laughter immediately broke off from Ariana’s lips. While continuing to smile, the woman had prepared an answer that was no less shocking for Valerie to hear.
“Jackfruit soup in coconut milk, remember, you’re just an ex. M-A-N-T-A-N,” Ariana spelled. “It’s taking a long time, Grandpa. It’s been a long time, Grandpa. What have you done, Grandpa. I don’t care. The point is, now he has chosen me, and he is now my husband. What do you want, you? Even if you feel as meritorious as hero, report there to the government, so you can be put in a museum.”
Valerie was speechless. Stomping her feet in annoyance, the woman ultimately chose to leave Samuel and Ariana just like that.
Because of this case, Samuel kept laughing all the way. Absolutely did not expect Ariana’s gruff attitude to be able to silence all of Valerie’s chatter.
“Alah, what was I thinking. Turns out I was thinking about what happened at the party earlier,” said Ariana, who was already sitting on the bed, right next to Samuel. Then the woman lay down preparing to sleep.
“But for the size of people who just met, you are very brave.”
“People like Valerie really need to be flicked once in a while. Besides, you really can date a girl like her for a long time. Are you out of stock or what?”
Samuel knit her eyebrows together, curious, the man asked back.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“It doesn’t suit you.”
“Then what suits me, what do you think?”
“Those who are classier, have an attitude, and are more able to position themselves.”
“Like you for example?”
“Yeah, not like I mean too.”
Samuel smiled. Lying down, the man then hugged Ariana’s body without awkwardness from behind. A new habit that he often does with his wife when he wants to sleep or rest.
“Just so you know,” whispered Samuel. “What do you want my exes to be like, I don’t care anymore. Most importantly, now I have you.”
“But, if you think about it, there are lots of women out there who are better than me to be used as wives or companions. It’s also strange if you choose me. Until this second, I still have doubts,” said Ariana. Even though her husband had convinced her several times, she still felt a lump in her heart about Samuel’s seriousness in making her a wife.
“I already told you. I’m too lazy to find another woman. I’m tired of having to get acquainted from the start. Matching myself. Not to mention bringing it to the big family. It’s better if you have a guarantee. And again, you bring hockey to my family and the company. ”
“Oh, so that’s your main reason?”
Samuel laughed. He pinched Ariana’s cheek fondly. Then he hugged her back tightly.
“No, Ariana. I’m really serious about our relationship. You’re the only one who doesn’t really believe. You need to remember too. I’m not looking for the best partner. But I’m looking for someone who can make me much better in the future.”
“But I also need to explain to you Samuel.”
Ariana suddenly broke the hug. Turning around, the woman looked into the eyes of her husband who was lying in front of her.
“In a way, I’m still in the stage of learning to love you. But you need to remember, I don’t like the slightest betrayal in the household relationship that we are currently building.”
“Just be clear, Ariana. This is what you want to discuss about Valerie, who suddenly returned to Indonesia, right?”
“Yeah, anyway, whoever it is, Samuel. Be it an ex, a new girl, a co-worker, or whoever. If you dare to mess around behind my back, there won’t be the slightest apology let alone a second chance for you.”
Samuel nodded confidently, then smiled. Holding out his pinky finger, the man asked Ariana to do a pinky promise.
“Strawberry mangga donut, sorry I’m not interested. It’s up to you to call me crap, but I’m really not interested in women out there anymore. I promise. And you can keep my promise. And vice versa, I don’t accept sorry if you also various things behind me.”
“If that’s the case, you can prove it yourself,” said Ariana not wanting to be outdone.
Ending the conversation between the two, Samuel returned to her body. Scraping the distance between them, then pulled Ariana into his arms. They both finally fell asleep. Enjoying the silence of the night with each other’s dreams.
***
Samuel looks so busy completing several tasks before attending a meeting outside the office. Moments later, there was a knock on the door of the room, followed by the entry of the Axton carrying a large folder that the man wanted to show immediately to his boss.
“Sir, excuse me. I’m sorry to disturb you again.”
“Yes, what’s wrong, Mom?”
Samuel answered without even looking up. His eyes were still glued to the sheet of paper he had been reading.
“This is a copy of the marriage agreement that you made. Yesterday afternoon it was handed back by the notary and it was officially cancelled. So, as of this second, the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Ariana is like a couple’s marriage in general. There is no longer a binding agreement like at the beginning. ”
This time Samuel raised her head. His focus was immediately diverted from the pile of papers, now looking at the assistant who was standing in front of his desk.
“Thank you very much for the help and information that you just conveyed. Let me receive the file first. After this, I will destroy it,” said Samuel while receiving a map from Axton then placing it first on the table.
“But, sir…” continued Axton. “You don’t want to just make a postnuptial agreement?”
“Post-nuptial agreement?” asked Samuel to make sure. Then the man shook his head several times. “I don’t think it’s necessary. Instead of making a post-nuptial agreement, it’s better for me to just make a will for my wife and all my descendants.”
“Are you sure you want to write a will? I mean, are you sure this marriage will last to the end?”
Samuel glared. The man immediately chuckled disapprovingly.
“You pray for me to quickly separate from Ariana?”
“Eh? That’s not what I meant, sir,” Axton answered nervously. After all, why even ask a question that really sounds stupid. “I mean, are you 100% sure you’ve chosen Miss Ariana?”
“You think I’m not serious? If I’m not serious, why would I ask you to take care of canceling the marriage agreement? I already told you, I really like Ariana. So, I will build this household as well as I can. No matter what storms It might affect our relationship in the future.”
Seeing the seriousness that radiated on Samuel’s face, Ben was sure that his boss was serious. There was not the slightest hesitation on his face. In fact, when he was in a relationship with Valerie, Samuel had never shown this kind of self-confidence.
However, the conversation between the boss and the assistant stopped when towards the door, suddenly a female figure entered without permission. Moreover, his presence was not in the least desired by the owner of the room.
“Jeez, Valerie. What do you want to do in my office?” Samuel scolded. Indeed, it was his ex who again visited his room.
Walking so gracefully, Valerie ignored Samuel’s protests. Keep coming. Then put a paper bag that was predictably filled with food, on his ex-girlfriend’s desk.
“Samuel, don’t get angry. Okay, fine, if there’s no longer a place for me in your heart. But, can you just appreciate my presence a little?”
“What do you want to be appreciated like?” Samuel asked coldly.
“I brought you lunch. I hope you will try it. Or eat it together with me as usual.”
Not to mention that Samuel had time to respond, returning from the direction of the entrance of Ariana’s figure. The woman, who had just returned from the next tower, was immediately amazed to see Valerie’s figure perched in her husband’s room.
“Oh, you two want to have lunch together?” Ariana scolded and immediately clarified by Samuel.
“No honey. I didn’t even know he would suddenly come here and bring some food.”
Valerie glanced at Ariana. Stare sharply. The signal is ready at any time if Samuel’s wife invites her to go to war.
“Why? You don’t like it? Besides, I came here on purpose because I wanted to bring Samuel her favorite food. I’m also sure, you don’t know, right? What kind of food does Samuel like.”
she smiled. Not one bit bothered by the chatter that Valerie told him.
“Yeah, I really don’t know what kind of food Samuel likes. Because as far as I know, Samuel likes all the dishes I cook. How about you? Can you cook, can’t you?”
Ariana’s sarcasm sounded so poignant again. Lazy to respond, Valerie’s gaze immediately turned to Samuel.
“Samuel, please. You taste the food I brought first. This is the food that we usually eat together when we are together. I know you really like yakiniku.”
Samuel didn’t budge. Not the least bit interested in accepting the offer Valerie made.
“Just try it,” Valerie offered once again. Opening the lunch box, the woman then grabbed the chopsticks. Pinching one of the chicken katsu pieces. Then he intended to shove it into Samuel’s mouth.
Ariana who was there certainly did not remain silent. Quickly, the woman lowered her head. Slightly forward face, then grabbed the cock that Valerie handed out to Samuel.
“You!” Valerie scolded when the chicken that was stuck on the chopsticks she was holding was eaten by Ariana.
“It’s delicious,” Ariana said nonchalantly while chewing the food in her mouth. “You don’t need to stare like that. I just want to make sure the food you give is poisoned or not. And after I tasted it just now, it looks really good. But….” Ariana paused her sentence for a moment. He glanced at Samuel briefly, then spoke again to the woman in front of him. “Because Samuel has an appointment for a meeting with a client outside the office, lunch with you is postponed until an undetermined time.”
Ariana then grabbed Samuel’s wrist. Ask the man to get up. Get ready to leave soon.
“Before we leave…” Ariana continued again. “I also thank you for your attention because you have bothered to bring my husband all kinds of lunch.”
Ariana then glanced at Ben, who had been silent, then gave an order.
“Mr. Axton, Mr. Samuel and I will go out first. Please help take care of the guests. Direct them correctly where the exit is.”
Axton smiled while raising his thumb as a sign of understanding of the orders given.
When Ariana left, Ben immediately did his job. Valerie finally left her ex-boyfriend’s room feeling so upset. Walking down the corridor, the woman kept grumbling.
However, Valerie’s focus shifted slightly. Just about to enter the elevator, when suddenly a man he knew so well came over and reprimanded him.
“Finally you’re home too, Vio. I’ve been waiting for your arrival for a long time.”
“What are you waiting for me for?”
“There’s big business we can both work on.”
“I’m not interested,” Valerie said.
“But, this business can bring Samuel back to your side.”
Valerie was immediately taken aback. The man who had been talking to him smiled broadly. He was sure that the bait he had just cast had caught the attention of the woman next to him.
