Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 58

The visit went well even though Mrs. Matthews cried for half of it.

Michael spent the night with his wife after the continuous pleading from his mother.

The Matthews were having breakfast the next morning happily. Mrs. Lovette Matthews is no longer

crying and everybody was grateful for it except Michael.

He tried sharing food for his wife but his mother would always beat him to it, “Eat more my dear. I

wish I could to Westron City to take care of you myself. I don’t trust Michael for he can’t even take care

of himself.”

“Mom.” Michael exclaimed unhappily. Ariana was amused by her husband and his mother’s

interaction.

“What son? It is the truth.” She shrugged but she was just messing with him.

Michael frowned, “Dad, please tie your wife to you. Don’t you see she is trying to take mine?”

He turns to his mother, “You know, I wanted you to stop crying thinking I can get time with my wife

but it got worse after you stopped crying. How can I take care of my wife if you won’t allow me?”

Father Matthews sat at the head of the table feeling content with the bickering around the table

because this is family, too bad it is not every day he would wake up to this.

Mrs. Matthews did not care about his complaint. She continued to share breakfast for Ariana. “Shut

it boy. You don’t know a th…” when the scent of the egg reached Ariana’s nostril, she shot up from

around the table to the guest bathroom with her hand covering her mouth.

Michael rushed up said speed to care of for his wife.

Five minutes later the couple came back to the table. Ariana looking paler that normal.

Michael passed her a cup of milk to soothe her heartburn.

“Dear, what is it? Are you okay? You look pale.” Her tone was coat with worry. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She glared at her son angrily, “This is how you take care of your wife? You don’t even look

concern.”

Ariana’s eyes were now teary. She had never experienced motherly love since her mother

disappeared. She wished she could see her mother before the plan takes effect.

“Mom are you really listening to yourself. Am I the one that gave her the eggs or you?” Michael

asked accusingly.

“I am sorry my dear, I did not know you were allergic.” Lovette Matthews came to realization after a

few seconds and her jaw dropped, “Wait, are you pregnant?”

Michael smiled proudly confirming his mother’s question.

His father laughed out loud with happiness, “Ariana, you made me the happiest grandpa at this

moment.”

Ariana was shocked. This is the first time he talked since having breakfast and they barely talked

the day before. It was obvious that he barely talks in general.

Her mother-in-law started making preparation instantly.

Michael had to talk her out of it, “Mother, you cannot go babbling to anybody about her pregnancy

until I give you the go ahead and I am begging you not to reveal her identity. For now, she is just a girl I

met and got married to.”

She agreed reluctantly after many persuasion.

By midday they were back in Westron City.

Michael brought Ariana to the office were she napped in the lounge for few hours.

…

In country C

Samantha walked to the study room of her father.

She knocked and went in after she heard her father’s voice.

“Dad.” She greeted happily.

Mr. Miller was busy with some contract. He don’t have a son and he believes Samantha still need

more grooming. He did not want to pass over the company until she is married.

“Sweetheart, what brings you here?” he looked much older than his age. His missing daughter

along with his wife’s memory had taken a toll on him.

She pouted, “Can’t I visit my father?”

He laughs, “Of course honey. Did you go look for your mother?”

Samantha’s smile faded. She dropped her body on the chair, “Yes. She is in the garden. I can’t

wait to get her back.”

“Dad, do you think if we get back Sienna then mom memory will return?” Due to how long she lost

her memory they were all worried it is too late.

Mr. Miller sighed, “The good thing about it is that she only lost three years of memory. You and

Sienna were babies so she did not lose too much memories. She might not even recognized her and

we don’t know if they were together those three years.”

Talking about it brought back a lot of bad memories. Mr. Miller decided to change the topic, “I

thought you were in Westron City trying to have Michael fall in love with you?”

Samantha’s throat went dry instantly and she looked away and cleared her throat, “Dad, the thing

is, I am in love with someone else.”

She played with her fingers waiting on her father’s wrath.

“What the hell did you say?” he questioned in disbelief. “This is all Michael’s fault. If he haven’t

being putting off the wedding then you wouldn’t have time to fall in love with someone else.”

“Now tell me, who is the bastard you fell in love with?”

Samantha panicked, “I will tell you a different time father.”

“You will get married to Michael whether you or him like it or not. I don’t want you to marry any

random guy that probably is just using you. Michael had turned his company into a multi-national

company, he doesn’t want our money. Our family is part of the reasons they are where they are now.

Being friends with them is already good for business. Just imagine being connected by marriage.” he

snapped at his daughter. Something he had never done before.

“But… but Dad, I don’t love him.” Samantha started crying. “I know for a fact that I don’t need to

marry Michael for our company to thrive. I can manage it besides who I like doesn’t need our money

either.”

Her father’s features soften at the sight of her tears. “I am sorry honey. I didn’t know you were so

against it before. I always thought you loved him. If that is the case then I don’t want to force you

besides this is really a fight within the Matthews’ Family.

Being friends with their family for decades we didn’t want to see them fall when their company falls

in the wrong hands.

Well I am not worried, I believe Michael can handle himself and the Company from his power

hungry uncle that always wanted the company from day one.” The train companies were created by

Michael’s own sweat and intelligence. They can only fight him for the Matthews’ Group since that is the

Family’s inheritance.

Mr. Miller had no intention of forcing the only daughter he has left into something she doesn’t want.

The only reason he was forcing it before, he thought that his daughter actually loved Michael.

“Thank you Dad.” Samantha held her head down and smiled. It didn’t go as planned but it was

actually better. Her father was willing to have her get married to the man she loved. She don’t know

why she was afraid to voice her opinion before.

“Let us go and have dinner with your mother. We can talk about that guy of yours with her.” They

both walked out of the study room together.
