Darling, only I can be your man novel 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.
