Arianna squirmed, blinking repeatedly. Slowly, the woman massaged her throbbing forehead as she tried to sit up from lying down. Instantly, a cold breeze swept in, piercing through to the bone."Good morning, honey," Samuel's voice faintly reached her. Turning, she found her husband sitting right beside her, offering a glass of a warm orange drink."Quick, have this. I ordered warm orange juice to help with the hangover from last night," he said."Me? Hangover?" Arianna asked, as if not believing what she had just heard. In her entire life, she had never been drunk."Oh, dear, don't you remember? Last night, you drank too much of the soju Darwin ordered. Besides, I warned you not to drink. But you ignored it, didn't you?"Continuing to massage her forehead, Arianna tried to recall. Even if she did get drunk, it would be her own fault."I really don't remember. As far as I know, we just had dinner. After that, I don't remember what happened.""Oh my God," Samuel exclaimed. His gaze fix
"Samuel, today, are you going to take me out for a stroll, right?"Arianna had just finished bathing and getting dressed. While applying makeup, she engaged in conversation with her husband, who was currently reading a work report on his tablet.Arianna certainly didn't forget that since the beginning of their visit, and even last night, her husband, who held the status of her spouse, had expressed the desire to take her around South Korea. Of course, Arianna was very enthusiastic, considering it was her first time walking around a foreign country."So," replied Samuel. "Maybe we'll head out around 10. Now, get ready, and let's have breakfast before we go," he ordered without looking in the direction of his wife.Meanwhile, Arianna, who had finished applying makeup and was ready with her appearance, walked over to Samuel. She addressed him and then invited him to go down to the restaurant for breakfast."Come on, I'm ready," she urged.Samuel nodded. Turning off his tablet, he then lo
When the day turned into night, Samuel then took Arianna to enter the tower, enjoying the view of Seoul at night from a height. After lingering for a while, this time the man led Arianna to descend a few floors, entering one of the restaurants available there."Let's have dinner first," Samuel invited. Then the two of them followed the waiter to a table not far from the window. From their seats, Samuel and Arianna could enjoy the night view of Seoul and the sparkling lights from above."The place is really nice," Arianna praised sincerely. What she saw now was truly amazing."I deliberately booked this place to bring you here. As I mentioned last night, I want to talk about our relationship."Before continuing the conversation, Samuel and Arianna ordered food first. Instead of Korean specialties, this time they both ordered tenderloin steak with a black pepper seasoning, similar to what they often had in Indonesia.Once the food was served, Samuel immediately grabbed a knife and fork
Spending dinner with a new status as a real husband and wife, Arianna felt a bit awkward. Occasionally, she glanced at Samuel. However, the man remained the same. He appeared calm, even carefree as usual.There was no sign of nervousness, embarrassment, or awkwardness that Arianna was feeling. Samuel behaved very casually, as if he had been eagerly awaiting this evening for a long time.After finishing their meal, Samuel stood up first. Extending his hand, he invited Arianna to leave while holding hands."What do you want, Samuel?" Arianna asked casually, though she knew exactly what her husband meant."I want to dance with you, Arianna.""Huh?""Yes, I want to take you home. No need for a long discussion. I just want to go home holding your hand."Samuel's recent words didn't sound like a request. Instead, they resembled more of a command that couldn't be questioned. Besides, as Arianna knew, Samuel didn't appreciate being contradicted.Arianna reluctantly stood up. Accepting Samuel'
Having taken her medicine, Arianna chose to lay her body on the bed directly, giving her joints some rest that felt stiff after a day of exploring various interesting places scattered around Seoul, South Korea. While Arianna was busy relieving her fatigue, Samuel, having finished his shower, opted to sit for a moment on the sofa. He took out his laptop to work on some reports and finished around 10 PM.As he wasn't sleepy yet, this time Samuel spent his time relaxing on the sofa while watching TV. For a while, he seemed absorbed in various news being presented. When he turned to look at his wife, Samuel found Arianna appearing restless on the bed, changing sleeping positions as if struggling to find a comfortable spot."Arianna, what's wrong?" Samuel called out.Hearing her name, Arianna immediately sat up. She brought her gaze, staring directly at Samuel who was still sitting on the sofa."I can't sleep. Although I'm really sleepy," she complained in a somewhat spoiled tone."Well th
Arianna woke up in pain that was radiating throughout her body. It was an unusual pain she had never felt in her entire life. Bringing her hand to her lips, Arianna repeatedly rubbed them. They felt numb. Slightly swollen. Surely, it was the result of the kisses and bites Samuel gave her without pause last night.Arianna then dramatically closed her eyes, trying to recall what she and Samuel did last night. Shortly after, her cheeks turned bright red. She was embarrassed because she had been the one to initiate everything."You're truly insane, Arianna! How did your modesty lead you to invite Samuel for that last night?" Arianna cursed herself. Not because she regretted giving herself to Samuel, but because of the overwhelming embarrassment. She was sure that when her husband woke up or became aware, he would mock what she had done last night.Lost in her own thoughts, Arianna remembered Samuel. Glancing to the side, she found her husband still sound asleep, bare-chested, with one arm
Arabella looked enthusiastic welcoming Samuel and Arianna, who had just arrived from South Korea. Without hesitation, she was willing to inconvenience herself to personally pick up her son and daughter-in-law at the airport.Together with Randy, Arabella appeared patient as they waited in the arrival lounge. At exactly eight in the evening, Samuel, Arianna, and Axton finally appeared. The middle-aged woman immediately stood up, then approached the three of them."Arianna, Samuel," she called. Once they were close, without any awkwardness, Arabella immediately threw herself into a hug towards her daughter-in-law first. "Mom missed you guys so much," she said while hugging tightly."Arianna missed Mom too.""How are you? Are you doing well over there?" Arabella asked enthusiastically without letting go of her embrace."Good, Mom. Just a bit stiff from sitting for too long."While Samuel, standing beside Arianna, immediately sighed. As usual, he was ready to voice his complaints."Mom on
Arianna felt much better than the previous night. When she opened her eyes, she didn't find Samuel beside her, even though the clock showed it was only six in the morning. Where did her husband go so early?Remembering that today she was returning to work, Arianna hurriedly cleaned herself and got ready. As she left the room, intending to go to the dining room, Arianna's sense of smell immediately caught the enticing aroma of cooking. It made her stomach instantly protest, demanding to be filled.And indeed, as she reached the dining room, Arianna finally found her husband, whom she had been looking for since earlier."Are you awake?" Samuel greeted when he noticed Arianna standing at the dining room door. Walking closer, he immediately guided his wife to sit in a chair."I am, already. I look pretty like this. Why are you in the kitchen so early?" Arianna wondered. It was unusual for her husband to be busy in the kitchen early in the morning, wearing his favorite pink apron."I'm pre
