Chapter 857: Chapter 836: We Don’t Look Like a Married Couple!
“Not busy, that’s good too!” Adam shrugged, sowhat unsure whether getting into bed was a good idea or not, “You can rest well, won shouldn’t overexert themselves!”
“Yeah, that’s right, I’m married now, I should prioritize family over career, indeed I shouldn’t focus too much on work!”
As Ariana Hunt flipped through the script in her hands, she spoke nonchalantly, then set down the script and asked, “Why aren’t you in bed asleep yet?”
“Right, right, I’m going to bed… to sleep now!”
At those words, Adam, as if given a special command, flipped over and clambered into bed, burrowing under the covers, but that was all he did, burrowing under the covers; he still didn’t dare to reel the woman into his embrace, even if that’s what she might have thought, it was just a thought—he dared not act on it!
As soon as he got into bed, Adam hurriedly turned off the light, afraid that his sleazy thoughts would be written all over his face for the woman to see.
But just as he turned off the light, the woman turned it on again.
“Are you still going to read the script?”
Only when the light was turned on did Adam realize that his sleazy thoughts had inconvenienced her, so he casually asked.
“Not reading!” The woman decisively replied with two words, then turned around, her ethereal face, as if untouched by worldly fireworks, turned towards him, her clear, large eyes looking especially dazzling under the dim light.
Perhaps it was because of his heavy sinful thoughts, but Adam felt like the woman was smiling at him.
“Oh!”
“We’ve been married for so long, with that attitude of yours, could it be that you have complaints about ?” The woman’s eyes stayed immobile, fixed on his cheek, her cool voice tinged with a touch of puzzling sadness, making Adam feel sowhat estranged.
His heart gave a sharp twinge, “No, no, how could I have any complaints about you? Marrying my beloved Goddess, I’m too happy to even express it!”
“Then why do you look like you want to avoid
every ti you see !” This ti, Ariana Hunt didn’t let him off as quickly as she usually did; instead, her words caught Adam by surprise, “Don’t let
hear you say ‘no, no’ again, Adam, you say you’re not avoiding , that marrying
is your fortune, but all your actions are about avoiding !”
After a pause, Ariana seed to gather a lot of courage before speaking again: “I married you not to act out life with you, but to truly live it together!”
Yes, her motivation wasn’t good, it was to force herself to co to terms with soone else in her heart. Logically, Adam’s behavior should have reassured her, being able to enact a loving couple in others’ eyes and affording her respect in life, yet this very respect made her feel an even deeper guilt!
It was like she was dragging his wonderful life down, pulling a vibrant young man into a marriage devoid of physical intimacy for her own sake, to face her sister and brother-in-law without guilt. This thought beca heavier in Ariana Hunt’s heart as days passed, so heavy that she couldn’t even concentrate on shooting her scenes!
Today, she had to confirm sothing, whether Adam liked her or loved her, whether, in his heart, she was a Goddess or a wife. If it was the forr, she would decisively choose divorce; she was already like this and couldn’t harm others, because every ti she saw him avoid her gaze, her heart ached bitterly and painfully.
“I know!”
Adam was stunned by her sudden outpour, unsure why she said it, but deep down he felt the woman must be troubled by sothing, causing her bad mood.
“If you know, then why are you still like this?” For so reason, as Ariana Hunt looked at his handso yet bewildered face, an inexplicable sense of grievance welled up in her heart, “Nolan Stones, I’m asking you, do you look down on
because I’m an actor, unworthy to be your wife, so much that you even disdain to look at ? If that’s the case, just say it. I won’t hold you back; let’s just divorce!”
Adam: “…”
Would he despise her?
This joke isn’t funny at all, okay?
Wait, is she talking about divorce?
“No, no, no, I don’t want a divorce, I’d rather die than divorce!” Finally, the man beca agitated, leaping out of the snug cocoon of the duvet in his excitent, “How could I despise you? You are my Goddess, I can’t get enough of loving you, despising you, that’s impossible even in the next lifeti!”
Adam, sowhat agitated, wanted to soothe her emotions, yet he didn’t know whether touching her at this mont would cause her to feel repulsed!
“Goddess? Always the Goddess, who said I want to be your Goddess!” Every day being called a Goddess, Ariana Hunt felt like she was just a vase admired by others; she didn’t want to be a Goddess at all. She wanted to be like her sister, a wife cherished in a man’s heart, “Did I marry you to be your Goddess? Nolan Stones, I am your wife, not your Goddess!”
“Oh!”
He knew she was his wife too, “I know, you are my wife, and marrying a Goddess as my wife, I am the happiest man in the world!”
The happiest man in the world?
“The happiest man is one who guards a so-called Goddess vase wife and lives a sexless life?” Ariana looked at him sowhat amusedly, “Are you deceiving
or yourself? We’ve been living like this for almost a year now, falling apart, either you are on a business trip, or I am. If all newlywed couples were like us, what’s the point?”
Adam: “…”
Stunned for a long while, Adam carefully considered her words and still fixated all his attention on the four words “sexless life”.
“So, you are dissatisfied with the sexless life?”
Ariana: “…”
She was the one airing grievances and laying it all on the table, so why was she the one feeling speechless at his question?
Was that really the case?
Why did it sound like she ca off as lustful?
Great, now what? This man wouldn’t start thinking she wanted a divorce because she couldn’t stand the loneliness like many celebrities with chaotic private lives, right?
“I…”
She wanted to explain, but just as she uttered “I,” she found herself overwheld by his sudden intense gaze, “I… how could I be dissatisfied with such a thing, I… I just… just feel that we don’t seem like a couple, I got married to be your wife, not your Goddess!”
Adam finally seed to understand what she was saying!
So she was dissatisfied with their current abnormal way of living; the tight string in his heart finally completely loosened the mont he heard these words.
