"What truth?"

"About your fiancee. Is he not treating you well? I can tell Dad to scold him for you" Mike stated.

"I'm fine so don't worry" Ariana reassured him. Mike folded his hands akimbo and raised an eyebrow.

"Why do I feel like I'm being interrogated?"

"Spill it" Mike insisted.

"I just don't like him and we don't get along so well" Ariana confessed.

"Why don't you like him. Is he not handsome?"

"Mike stop asking questions and just eat" Ariana insisted.
