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, âEat more my dear. I wish I could to Westron City to take care of you myself. I donât trust Michael for he canât even take care of himself.â
âMom.â Michael exclaimed unhappily. Ariana was amused by her husband and his motherâs interaction.
âWhat son? It is the truth.â She shrugged but she was just messing with him.
Michael frowned, âDad, please tie your wife to you. Donât you see she is trying to take mine?â
He turns to his mother, âYou 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 wonât allow me?â
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. âShut it boy. You donât know a th...â when the scent of the egg reached Arianaâs 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.
âDear, what is it? Are you okay? You look pale.â Her tone was coat with worry.
She glared at her son angrily, âThis is how you take care of your wife? You donât even look concern.â
Arianaâs 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.
âMom are you really listening to yourself. Am I the one that gave her the eggs or you?â Michael asked accusingly.
âI am sorry my dear, I did not know you were allergic.â Lovette Matthews came to realization after a few seconds and her jaw dropped, âWait, are you pregnant?â
Michael smiled proudly confirming his motherâs question.
His father laughed out loud with happiness, âAriana, you made me the happiest grandpa at this moment.â
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, âMother, 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.â
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 fatherâs voice.
âDad.â She greeted happily.
Mr. Miller was busy with some contract. He donât have a son and he believes Samantha still need more grooming. He did not want to pass over the company until she is married.
âSweetheart, what brings you here?â he looked much older than his age. His missing daughter along with his wifeâs memory had taken a toll on him.
She pouted, âCanât I visit my father?â
He laughs, âOf course honey. Did you go look for your mother?â
Samanthaâs smile faded. She dropped her body on the chair, âYes. She is in the garden. I canât wait to get her back.â
âDad, do you think if we get back Sienna then mom memory will return?â Due to how long she lost her memory they were all worried it is too late.
Mr. Miller sighed, âThe 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 donât know if they were together those three years.â
Talking about it brought back a lot of bad memories. Mr. Miller decided to change the topic, âI thought you were in Westron City trying to have Michael fall in love with you?â
Samanthaâs throat went dry instantly and she looked away and cleared her throat, âDad, the thing is, I am in love with someone else.â
She played with her fingers waiting on her fatherâs wrath.
âWhat the hell did you say?â he questioned in disbelief. âThis is all Michaelâs fault. If he havenât being putting off the wedding then you wouldnât have time to fall in love with someone else.â
âNow tell me, who is the bastard you fell in love with?â
Samantha panicked, âI will tell you a different time father.â
âYou will get married to Michael whether you or him like it or not. I donât want you to marry any random guy that probably is just using you.
Michael had turned his company into a multi-national company, he doesnât 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.â he snapped at his daughter. Something he had never done before.
âBut... but Dad, I donât love him.â Samantha started crying. âI know for a fact that I donât need to marry Michael for our company to thrive. I can manage it besides who I like doesnât need our money either.â
Her fatherâs features soften at the sight of her tears. âI am sorry honey. I didnât know you were so against it before. I always thought you loved him. If that is the case then I donât want to force you besides this is really a fight within the Matthewsâ Family.
Being friends with their family for decades we didnât want to see them fall when their company falls in the wrong hands.
Darling, only I can be your man ï¤chapter 57 Love My Friends with Benefits ï¤Chapter 62: The Security Footage Boss's Sweet Secretary ï¤Chapter 72: A Last-Minute Business Trip 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.â The train companies were created by Michaelâs own sweat and intelligence. They can only fight him for the Matthewsâ Group since that is the Familyâs inheritance.
Mr. Miller had no intention of forcing the only daughter he has left into something she doesnât want. The only reason he was forcing it before, he thought that his daughter actually loved Michael.
âThank you Dad.â Samantha held her head down and smiled. It didnât go as planned but it was actually better. Her father was willing to have her get married to the man she loved. She donât know why she was afraid to voice her opinion before.
âLet us go and have dinner with your mother. We can talk about that guy of yours with her.â They both walked out of the study room together.
