A long time passed, but the sound of the water inside still wouldn’t stop.
Ariana was afraid that something would go wrong with Macos, so she got up and walked towards the bathroom door. She was about to knock on the door and ask, when suddenly she heard some moaning mixed in with the sound of water.
Immediately, as if scalded, he withdrew his hand with a reddened face.
Seeming to realize something, he hurried out of the bathroom door. She sat down in the living room, rubbed her cheeks with her fingers and barely recovered her face.
Santiago had been with her for a month or two and although the two had already lived together, they had never gotten over the last step.
Although Santiago suggested it twice, she declined.
Mainly due to her anxiety, her parents’ failed marriage had always been a shadow in her heart. Since she was very little, when she came home, the sound of their arguing and breaking things, her father’s roaring and her mother’s hysteria, all this made her disappointed in marriage and love.
After meeting Santiago, this was the first time she gathered her courage. The unrestricted freedom in him was what she asked for, which made her unconsciously want to pursue.
In the first two weeks, the two of them were really happy and she also enjoyed the sweetness of love.
But two weeks later, Santiago’s playful habit and immature personality made her very uneasy. The lifestyles of the two people seemed to be very different.
She likes to paint, she likes to be quiet. She often spends a whole day in the studio.
But Santiago likes to be lively, likes to go clubbing, likes to have fun and can’t stay alone at all.
Ariana also tried to accompany Santiago several times to these places, but the results were somewhat unsatisfactory. She does not know how to talk to that group of people, nor can she integrate into their circle. She has nothing to talk about with the women who brought that group of people.
She followed Santiago to those occasions less than five times, and three or four times she heard the girls say privately that he was falsely arrogant.
Thinking about this, Ariana sighed slightly. It’s not that she pretended arrogant, she just doesn’t know how to talk to these people.
Albina is the best friend.
Take what happened just now, Santiago couldn’t give her enough sense of security at all. It was even difficult for him to discover and understand her uneasiness.
Although Ariana knows that, her boyfriend is not going to do things like cheating, but if he falls in love with other women?
Who can guarantee it?
Just as she was thinking about that, the bathroom door opened and Macos came out with a bath towel. His skin was wheat-colored, a very healthy, sunny color. His six pack abs were perfectly aligned on his abdomen. The water droplets on his skin had not been completely wiped off and rolled beautifully.
Macos was wiping his hair with his head down, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Ariana on the couch.
He stepped back a few steps abruptly and quickly spread the towel to cover her upper body:
-You, didn’t you leave? I’m sorry, I thought you had left.
Ariana raised her head and looked at his embarrassed and cowering appearance, for some reason, she suddenly felt much better and burst out laughing.
It seemed like she was a bad woman who would make a pass at an honest man.
-I was afraid something might happen to you, so I stayed for a while. You seem to be all right.
Macos nodded with a flushed face, thinking about what he had done in the bathroom. His ears grew hot.
Just now he was thinking about her to climax.
-Me, I’m fine.
He was very nice and submissive.
This was Ariana’s first reaction. According to Macos’ age, it was really rare to keep that character.
Work-wise he is very reliable, he does a good job when he goes out to set up his own business. Ariana had seen him in the company, very calm, but also very powerful.
Privately he is very active and can adapt the environment. He is easy to talk to as if he were a friendly friend and has a youthful air.
-Then, since you are well, I will leave. You’d better go to the hospital to avoid any after-effects,” Ariana looked at him with a smile, she reminded him. She took her bag and was ready to leave.
Because of Santiago’s affair, the ambiguity when she first walked in the door disappeared. Ariana’s expression was very natural and there were no disturbances in her heart.
Seeing that she was leaving, Macos followed two steps unconsciously-Well, then, wait for me, I’ll take you back. By the way, I’m going to the hospital.
-No need, I drove here. Your car seems to be parked by the bar.
Ariana raised the key in her hand towards him, laughed lightly and turned to leave.
Macos froze in place, suddenly remembered what Lila had done and his face darkened.
Seeing that Ariana had opened the door and was about to leave, he quickly shouted-Well, Ariana, thank you, fortunately you rescued me in time.
At that moment, in Macos’ eyes, she was like a superwoman and a heroine, saving him from danger.
Ariana was surprised for a moment when she heard the words, her eyes were tilted and she smiled:
-You’re welcome.
After saying that, she closed the door and left.
Looking at the closed door, Macos still had Ariana’s smile in his mind, as if a fairy had fallen into the world, very impressive.
After a long time, he shook his head and patted her face:
-Don’t think about it, she already has a boyfriend!
She said so, but her heart was full of loss, sour, especially uncomfortable, as if her heart was tightly gripped by a big hand and she couldn’t breathe.
This kind of feeling had never happened before, which made Macos very worried.
It wasn’t until he heard the phone ring from the bathroom that Macos reacted, looked at the clothes he had changed into, ran and pulled the phone out of his pocket.
It was his assistant calling, and there were several missed calls. They called him when he was in the shower and he didn’t get it.
Macos picked up the phone and the assistant’s anxious voice came out-Mr. Chen, where are you, why can’t I find you anywhere? I found out that your car is still parked here….
-I’ve already returned home,” Macos replied, thinking of Lila, his eyes a little cold. Help me do one thing…
When he hung up the phone, his coldness diminished a little. His fingers were gripping the phone and his face was serious.
Lila, this woman had done something so intolerable to him. She would never show him mercy this time!
Ariana left Macos and sat in the car. Not knowing where to go for a while, looking at the moonlight outside, her expression was a little confused.
She lived with Santiago.
Santiago did not return, the place was deserted. Because of the phone call between the two of them a moment ago, he didn’t want to go back.
He was thinking about many things, and when he came to himself, he discovered that he had unconsciously called Albina.
He had only one good friend in this city, it was Albina.
But it was already too late, Albina should have fallen asleep.
Ariana was in a hurry to hang up the call. Just as she was about to hang up, Albina already picked up. Albina’s stunned voice came over:
-Ariana, what’s wrong?
Her voice was vague, with a cute little nasal voice. After saying this, Umberto’s hoarse voice came from her side.
-Albina, cover yourself with the quilt. Don’t catch a cold.
-I’ll talk to Ariana.
Umberto’s voice came closer again:
-Put your clothes on, it’s still a little chilly at night. You’re busy these days and your body’s resistance is very poor.
-I know, I know, you’re like an old man!
What she said sounded like she was impatient, but her voice was full of sweet happiness.
Ariana listened to the vague conversation between the two, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but overflow with a smile.
Albina should be very happy. She was more relieved. Before she still worried that Albina would accept Umberto again and might be hurt, now it seemed there was no need to worry at all.
On the contrary, it was she herself who was in a mess and didn’t know what to do.
There was a whispering voice there. It was Albina wearing the coat. She grabbed her cell phone and went to the living room outside before asking:
-Ariana, why are you calling me at this hour, are you out, what’s going on?
Her voice was a bit serious. A few minutes ago, she was still groggy, but at that moment she was wide awake.
She and Ariana have known each other for so many years, and they are both very familiar with each other’s personality. Ariana is a very caring girl.
Because of her unfortunate childhood, she is very good at taking care of other people’s emotions. Also because of her personality, even the two have a good relationship, under normal circumstances Ariana rarely bothers her.
She wouldn’t even call her at this time, so something must have happened to her.
-Where are you now? I’ll be right over.
