Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 13

　　Ariana bit the corner of her lower lip and looked at him with her pure and shining eyes. She wanted to say yes because she liked him too and she wanted to say no to secure her heart from hurt to come. It was inevitable for they were worlds apart.

　　Her heart spoke against her reasoning, “Yes, I will be with you!” she was so shy that Michael barely heard her response.

　　He looked at her with gleaming eyes, “Say it again.” He wanted to make sure he is hearing right.

　　“I am not repeating myself.” Her face started heating up and she felt embarrassed. Michael jumped off the hospital bed and picked her up. “You don’t have to repeat, the first time was good enough for me.”

　　Ariana couldn’t believe her eyes, the man was laughing like a little child because of her answer.

　　…

　　They left the hospital after completing the release procedures and paying the bill.

　　Michael took Ariana to a 24 hour Diner to get some food. Soon they were both eating.

　　He almost choked on his food when he heard her suddenly said, “There will be conditions to our relationship.”

　　He coughed lightly, “Ariana, do you really think you should be negotiating with me?” the man knew it was too good to be true. She looked at him with her big bright eyes and his cold heart melted instantly. “Alright, go ahead. Let me see what I can agree to.”

　　Ariana started, “I want you to help me find my mother.”

　　“I already said I would so please get to the point.” Ariana felt embarrassed because she was seen through.

　　Ariana ignored his comment, “I don’t want to be in the eyes of the public because I don’t want a bunch of paparazzi following me around a hen and her chicks.” Michael paused for a while then he nodded. That would be best for he did not want to notify the Matthews’ Family until their relationship was firm enough.

　　“I don’t want you to take revenge on the Fearon’s Family, I can do it myself” she said waving her index finger in front of him.

　　“Are you sure? You can’t even retaliate to an ant. You only have strength for me.” He retorted feeling useless if he can’t at least revenge his woman.

　　And last but the most important, “Please do not touch me without my permission. I want to stay in my own home and I don’t think we have to get married.”

　　Michael blurted arrogantly, “No way, I can agree to everything except the last three.”

　　“Take it or leave it. Which do you pick?” she asked knowing well he would agree.

　　He suddenly kissed her lightly on the lips and said, “You already agree and you aren’t allowed to take it back. As for where you will live, it will be with me. I will not allow my woman to live separate from me. You will have the best life can offer.”

　　Ariana felt the warmness surged inside her but she still refute, “That is not necessary, I don’t fancy money and material things.” Michael looked at her shocked, she is really different from other females. He will not allow her to get away from him.

　　“We will get a marriage certificate next Monday. You can get your documents ready.” Michael totally ignored the fact that she did not want to get married. “It will make my research easier to find your mom.” He lied.

　　Ariana did not believe him but she chose not to call him out on his lie to save his face. “Fine, I can’t do anything about you anyways.”
