Arianna could only contemplate her current fate. There was nothing she could do except eat, sleep, daydream, watch television in a language she didn't understand, or wait for Darwin, who always dropped by during breakfast or dinner.
However, of all these activities, waiting for Darwin might be the most enjoyable. Every time he came, she never knew what he would bring. Moreover, his visits made Arianna feel like she had a storytelling companion. Honestly, she found it more comfortable to share her concerns with Darwin than complain to Rachel, who was clearly assigned as her assistant during their stay in Korea.
For example, today, from the morning, Arianna chose to stay in her room until she got bored. It was only during lunchtime that she reluctantly left her room because she was forced to eat the prepared meal.
"Please enjoy your meal, Madam. If this menu doesn't suit your taste, you can ask me to change it," Rachel said politely. She stood right beside Arianna
One day earlier, Darwin was a bit surprised. Just moments after returning home and being there for a few minutes, he suddenly received a phone call from Samuel. If looked into and examined, the time at that moment was already showing midnight. Darwin was naturally curious about why Samuel was contacting him so late at night. However, due to concern that there might be an emergency, he quickly answered the call. And indeed, what Darwin suspected turned out to be true. In the phone conversation, Samuel asked Darwin to pick him up at a bar because he couldn't manage to get home on his own.Without hesitation, Darwin rushed to follow. Upon arriving at Alexis, he could see how concerning his cousin's condition was. Samuel's ramblings and scattered speech hinted that the man was truly at the lowest point in his life. Samuel repeatedly pleaded, asking Darwin urgently to inform him of his wife's whereabouts.Not only that, even when they returned to Darwin's home, Samuel conti
As Darwin had mentioned earlier, after work, he once again stopped by Arianna's residence. Unfazed, he brought various dishes as usual, as if Arianna's household assistant didn't provide food for the occupants. Erwin then invited his cousin and his wife to have a meal together while chatting. They discussed various topics while enjoying dinner."So, Rama and Valerie were reported to the authorities by Aunt Arabella?" Darwin asked curiously. Due to his distant location, he often missed out on a lot of news. Usually, Randy, who liked to share stories or information about important events in Indonesia."Yes. Mom is suing him for charges of sabotage, defamation, and unpleasant conduct. Maybe Rama has to experience imprisonment for one or two years," explained Samuel.Darwin nodded, feeling concerned about what happened to Rama. As a cousin, he actually felt sorry. However, since it was the man's own fault, he had to be accountable for it."Aunt Arabella never
Arabella Tjan or Arabella Walters was indeed born as an independent, calculating, and highly perceptive individual. After getting married, she became a protective and possessive figure, doing everything that is best for her family, especially her son Samuel. This includes protecting Samuel from people with ill intentions.Throughout Samuel's actions, no matter how small, Arabella pays close attention. Even when her son is in relationships with various women, she is aware without exception. Arabella is well aware of Samuel's girlfriends, one being a ballet dancer, another a general practitioner, and the latest one working as a model. Initially, Arabella didn't bother much about the last one, thinking that Samuel's relationship was just for fun.However, her mindset starts to shift when Arabella's trusted confidant reports that Samuel bought a luxurious apartment as a birthday gift for his girlfriend. Even after Arabella checks for herself, she discovers that Samuel has
Samuel couldn't stop smiling as he hugged Arianna tightly. After several nights of sleeping alone, tonight, he could embrace his wife tightly again. He repeatedly kissed the woman's hair and back, inhaling the sweet scent of shampoo mixed with Arianna's own aroma, which intoxicated him even more."I miss you so much," Samuel whispered right into Arianna's ear.Arianna turned around, aligning her face before flashing a smile. "You've said that more than 10 times, Sam.""Just so you know how much I really miss you.""You think I don't miss you," Arianna retorted with a pout. Yet, in Korea, she even lost her appetite thinking about her husband. "Here, almost every night, I've been overly dramatic, crying myself to sleep.""Why do you cry?" Samuel seemed curious."Thinking about my heavy debts.""What?""Because I miss you! You ask why I cry. Typical Fernando Jose!"Samuel chuckled. He kissed Arianna's lips, th
Samuel couldn't stop staring at Arianna's face with all the admiration in his eyes. For some reason, he felt perfectly willing to spend a lot of time this morning just gazing at the beautiful face of his wife, who was still peacefully sleeping in his embrace.Slowly, tenderly, Samuel brought his hand up, caressing and stroking Arianna's beautiful face, eliciting soft sighs from her lips. He repeatedly used his fingers to gently stroke her hair and then her cheeks, which only seemed to make Arianna look even more comfortable and peaceful.Arianna seemed to be sleeping soundly, perhaps because she was genuinely tired or possibly from exhaustion after their intimate moments together. Thinking back to the events of the previous night, a smile appeared on Samuel's face again. How they had passionately expressed their love, reflecting the longing that had been suppressed in the past few days.Samuel wasn't exaggerating. At this moment, he might be completely infatuate
Today, because it coincides with a holiday, Samuel invited Arianna for a brief outing. The plan is that later tonight, Darwin and Celina will return to Arianna's residence to enjoy dinner together. Therefore, when they left the house and finished their short stroll, Arianna immediately dragged Samuel to stop by briefly at one of the shopping centers. She deliberately wanted to buy some ingredients to cook and enjoy for dinner later."What do you want to cook, dear?" Samuel asked as he pushed the cart when they were in one of the supermarkets.Arianna glanced around at all the glass displays in front of her, squinting, examining each cooking ingredient to be prepared for dinner later. "What do you feel like eating tonight?"Instead of answering, Arianna asked back. Samuel usually gets confused when asked what food he wants to eat. "Why ask me? What do you want? I'll just follow along. Because I'm sure whatever you cook will be delicious."Arianna nodded. T
Samuel couldn't help but feel anxious and worried when he found Arianna who had fallen ill. Arianna's asthma suddenly flared up, making her very uncomfortable to engage in any activities.Taking her to the doctor, Arianna was advised to undergo recovery and complete rest for two full days. Ensuring her significantly improved condition, today, Samuel decided to take his wife back to Indonesia immediately.Besides her frequent illness, South Korea was entering the winter season. Samuel was naturally worried that Arianna's condition might worsen due to her body's inability to tolerate the cold weather.That's why, instead of taking the risk that might worsen his wife's condition, Samuel decided to return to Indonesia. He thought that being at home and in their own country, Arianna would be more comfortable and at ease. Plus, family doctors could be called anytime."Have you prepared all of Arianna's belongings?" Darwin asked as he, Samuel, and Arianna waited
Arianna blinked. When she looked to her side, she didn't find her husband there. Glancing at the neatly arranged digital clock on the nightstand, it showed seven in the morning.Slowly, Arianna sat up, lifting her arms to stretch her stiff muscles. Thankfully, she had a very sound sleep last night. She couldn't even remember if she had any dreams or not.Deciding to get up, Arianna crawled out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. After washing her face briefly, she exited the room. As soon as she opened the door, her sense of smell immediately caught the scent of delicious cooking, tempting her senses.Instantly, her stomach grumbled. Following her instincts, Arianna walked slowly towards the source of the aroma until she stopped right in front of the dining room.There, Arianna found the figure of the man she had been looking for. Samuel was busy cooking something, though she wasn't sure what exactly the menu was.For a moment, Arianna chose to
