Chapter 32

Ariana stretched. Blinking her eyes repeatedly, slowly the woman massaged her forehead which felt dizzy.

After his consciousness was fully collected, he made every effort to straighten his position from lying down to sitting. Instantly, the cold immediately ambushed, piercing to the bone.

"Good morning dear."

Samuel's voice sounded faint. As soon as she turned, she found her husband was already sitting right next to her while holding out a glass filled with a drink.

"Drink quickly. I ordered this warm orange to relieve the feeling of hangover and discomfort from your hangover last night."

"Me? Drunk?" Ariana asked as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. In his entire life, he's never been drunk.

"Gosh, did you forget? Last night, you drank too much soju that Darwin ordered. Besides, I warned you, don't drink. But you still ignore it, right?"

While continuing to massage her forehead, Ariana tried to remember that. Even if he did get drunk, it means it was his own fault.

"I totally forgot. I think we just had dinner. Then after that I don't really remember what happened."

"Oh my god," Samuel cried out. The man's eyes stared fixedly. "Did you also forget that last night you kissed me?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Yes! Don't tell me that you forgot last night that you kissed me first. We even did other things," Samuel continued later. Which these words made Ariana almost go crazy.

"Doing anything else like what do you mean, Samuel?"

"Just pay attention to your clothes."

Hearing Samuel's order, Ariana immediately uncovered the blanket covering her body. Pay close attention to the pajamas he's wearing.

There should be no problem. Her clothes were neatly and perfectly worn. However, a few intermittent rattles. Ariana's eyes bulged. He remembered that yesterday he went to a restaurant wearing a white shirt covered with a coat. If now his clothes have changed into pajamas, that means?

"Samuel! You're not messing with me, are you? You're not sleeping on me or maybe we're doing things we shouldn't be?"

Ariana's face looked very frustrated. He was shaking himself afraid something bad would happen between him and Samuel.

"What do you mean by something that shouldn't be, Esmeralda? After all, you are my legal wife. Even if last night we had a husband and wife relationship, that's not something to be concerned about."

"No need to be bothered? It's delicious!" Ariana exclaimed. His face now turned to annoyance. "If you forget, in the agreement, we agreed that you shouldn't touch me without permission. If last night we did things outside the boundaries, that means you've been really mean to take advantage of my drunken state. I have the right to sue you Samuel! "

Meanwhile, Samuel could only sigh softly. But his face remained the same from the start. So calm. Even as if without a burden.

"In fact, I didn't even touch you without your permission, Ariana. Wasn't it you who forced me to do it last night? Try to be quiet for a moment and slowly remember what you did last night."

Ariana fell silent. Slowly trying to piece together the pieces of memory he had passed last night. Trying his best to remember what he did.

"Husband, I'm willing to be your real wife," Samuel said then in a mocking tone. Deliberately repeating whatever sentence Ariana said to him last night when the woman was drunk.

"Samuel darling, it's been a long time I love to kiss you."

"Just so you know, you're my ideal type of husband. Why can't we just be husband and wife for real?"

"How about we make a real child now? I'm ready ----"

"STOP!" Ariana exclaimed hysterically. The woman's head kept shaking. "I can't possibly say that."

"If not you, then who? Jin Qorin?"

"So I'm not a virgin anymore?"

"We even did it many times, Esmeralda."

Ariana was still holding her head. Very frustrated thinking about the fate that befell him.

At first, Samuel had a hard time holding back laughter to see Ariana's confused look. However, because the longer his wife's face looked more adorable, Samuel could no longer laugh, then asked the woman to talk.

"You don't have to be so frustrated. We didn't do anything last night."

Ariana immediately looked up. His face turned enthusiastic.

"Seriously? You're not playing me, are you?"

Samuel nodded.

"I'm not as evil as you think, Ariana. Even though I had the chance last night. In fact, I actually have the right to sleep with you because of my legal status as a husband, I didn't take advantage of the situation in the slightest."

Unnoticed, Ariana breathed a sigh of relief. Giving thanks in his heart because Samuel did not do what he was afraid of.

However, as soon as she remembered about her clothes changing from plain t-shirts to pajamas, Ariana immediately glanced back at Samuel.

"Then, if we don't sleep together, who has changed my clothes?"

"If it's me, I'll replace it," Samuel answered lightly as if she didn't have the slightest burden.

"Samuel, you----"

"Yes, it can't be helped. Last night you suddenly vomited, Ariana. There's no way I'd let you sleep dirty."

"Then you saw everything?"

Samuel nodded. But soon the man shook his head.

"Not all of them either. I just changed the top. Your pants are still the same as what you wore before."

"But still, you've been presumptuous to see my body."

"Yes, rather than the hotel clerk or Axton seeing it, it's better for me. By the way, here I am your husband."

"Still, Samuel, you----"

"Sssttsss..." Samuel hissed. Bringing his forefinger, then deliberately put it above Ariana's lips. "You don't have to protest much. I've run out of time to listen to your complaints."

The man then rose from his seat. He glanced at the clock on his hand and got ready to leave.

"I'll go first. It's time to meet with one of the investors. You can stay in your room and rest. Just think about what you did last night."

Before actually leaving, Samuel lowered her head. He kissed Ariana's forehead briefly. Then just walk away carefree. Leaving Ariana who immediately froze because she didn't expect the sweet treatment she had just received from her husband.

***

In the afternoon, Ariana seemed to keep squeezing her hair tightly. He had been dizzy all day thinking about what had happened between him and Samuel.

Even though the man had made sure that they didn't go too far. Still, he felt so embarrassed because last night's drunkenness had made him lose control.

"Dear Samuel, I've wanted to kiss you for a long time. Just so you know, you're actually the type of husband I want. What if we become husband and wife for real?

"Regarding your offer to make Mama's wish come true, I've been thinking about it the other day. So, how about it? Do we really need to test it for her child now?"

Ariana wanted to scream when she remembered the two stupid sentences she said when she was drunk last night. Can't imagine anymore, Samuel must have kept on laughing at her last night, for telling the truth. After all, almost 80% of what drunk people say is usually sincere from the heart, not made up.

"Where are you going to put your face, Ariana? Why are you so drunk anyway!" clicked the woman.

Continuing to lament over her fate in bed, Samuel was soon seen entering the hotel room. At that time, he found Ariana who looked like a stressed person. He believed, there must be something Ariana was thinking.

"Why is your face scrunched up like that?"

"It's okay," Ariana replied weakly.

"I'm sure you're still thinking about what happened last night, right?"

"Yes," said Ariana briefly. And it turns out that the action actually caught Samuel's attention.

"Now... don't worry about it, I didn't do anything to you last night anyway. Now, you better take a shower, then get ready."

"Where are we going?" asked Ariana with an expression that was very difficult to interpret.

"Dinner together. While in Korea, we've never gone out together."

Ariana knows that. Let alone Korea, even in Indonesia this man rarely takes her out if not for work.

"Dinner where do you mean?"

"In one of the famous restaurants in Korea. And again, I also want to remind you that tomorrow as planned, I want to take you out for a walk. I also want to discuss further about our relationship."

"What's wrong with us?" asked Ariana innocently.

"Yes, that's fine. It's just that I want to invite you to discuss, how about we slowly get this relationship right."

"What do you mean by right it's like, Samuel?"

"Building a relationship like a husband and wife in general."

Ariana fell silent. Digesting very, very intent from the words of the husband. Then it didn't take long for her to think, was he sure he wanted to have a serious household with her?
