Chapter 831: Chapter 810 The Bathwater Goddess Provided!

"What are you standing there for, hurry up and come in!"

Seeing Adam standing motionless, Ariana Hunt came out from the doorway, grabbed him, and pulled him inside, all the while muttering like a wife, "If someone saw you like this, they’d think I did something to you, that I’m some kind of fierce shrew who won’t even let her husband inside!"

Uh?

For a few moments, he was stunned, staring blankly at Ariana Hunt before letting her pull him into the room and then directly pushing him into the bathroom, where Adam stood, throughout the process, looking as dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning.

"I’ve already filled the bathtub for you, and I’ve prepared your clothes too, go ahead and bathe, I’ll step out now!"

After saying this, Ariana Hunt immediately pulled the bathroom door shut and then disappeared from Adam’s line of sight, leaving the man standing cluelessly in front of the bathtub. It took a while for his brain, which seemed to be filled with mush, to finally realize what was happening, prompting him to fiercely slap his own cheek, producing a crisp sound and a sharp pain.

This proved that everything was real and not just his illusion!

Joy instantly swept over his entire heart, his Goddess, she actually prepared a bath for him and even set out his clothes!

"Yeah!"

Adam made a vigorous "Yeah!" gesture towards the mirror, but feeling it wasn’t enough, he repeated it three times, "Yeah yeah!"

This feeling was like winning 500,000, strictly speaking, from the first time he saw her on the screen, he was deeply captivated by the fresh and clean girl with a cool and aloof presence, that year...

When was that, again?

It seemed to be three years ago, right? Back then, Ariana Hunt was still a newcomer at Allure International, acting as a servant girl in a New Year’s drama, the type whose appearance didn’t even last three minutes before the character was offed, really just a fleeting glimpse.

Yet, from that fleeting glimpse, the woman’s cool and distant demeanor deeply rooted itself in his heart, and afterwards, he grew fond of watching her act. Even if she only played very minor characters, or even the evil supporting female roles, the villainous women she portrayed somehow remained unlikeable, and instead, they stirred a profound sense of pity within him.

Latter on, just like the legions of star-chasers, he began to collect her posters and autographs. Precisely because she wasn’t very popular at Allure International, she seldom had on-screen appearances. However, due to his job, he was able to enter Allure International and even the shooting locations at any time, so he saw her more than the average fan ever could!

But he only dared to look and never harbored other thoughts or desires. Every man has a Goddess in his heart, a Goddess to be cherished and kept hidden away. And so, he treated her as such, a Goddess stored in the depths of his heart!

After all, with so many men around the world liking her, he was just the most ordinary one among them. Later, her career took off with the success of a New Year’s film, and with her excellent acting skills and a fresh packaging by Allure International, she now rivaled the fame of Lina Miller from back in the day.

The number of people who liked her was growing, such that even glimpsing her meant peering from afar through the crowd. He had thought their worlds were drifting ever apart, yet the unexpected began just yesterday.

After lunch yesterday, he went to pick up the proposal ring that Michael Gordon had left at the company. As he was returning through the main gate, he ran into her being crazily professed love by a bunch of fans, almost reaching a frenzied state, yelling "Marry me, marry me!"

He didn’t know if his brain had malfunctioned, or whether all men act foolishly when they see the woman they like, but he followed the crowd of fans and shouted at her, "Marry me, I’ll definitely make you happy!"

Having foolishly shouted, he turned to leave, as Mr. Gordon’s wedding was imminent, and naturally, there was much to be busy with. He had no time to linger there, but what he didn’t expect was to hear a phrase he’d never even dared to dream of as he took that step to turn.

The familiar voice that could awaken him from midnight dreams spread gently behind his ear. The woman’s voice seemed carefree with a hint of laughter, as if it were the one he had heard her use when she smiled at him on screen all these years, so pleasant it was intoxicating.

She said sure, since someone was so earnest in confessing to me, I think I should get married!

Not only was he incredulous at the time, but even now as he recalled it, it seemed incredible. There were few direct interactions between him and her; at best, he had used his position to sneak a few glances at her. To be precise, Ariana Hunt probably didn’t recognize him!

Although he thought it was a joke at the moment, a man’s curiosity and fantasy about a Goddess persisted, so he turned back to look at her. That one look was all it took; he completely fell for her, meeting the usual serene smile on her face, with a rare trace of warmth.

Ariana Hunt debuted under the name Lina Miller, step by step, almost reaching the heights of the once Lina Miller. Everyone said they looked alike, but Adam knew they were not alike. The biggest difference was that both had a serene demeanor, but Lina Miller was relatively more approachable, even her serene smile had a congenial warmth.

Ariana’s smile, however, was different; as serene as it was, it was detached, as if untouched by the mortal world.

This image had been deeply ingrained in his heart, so much so that when she smiled at him, all his rational thoughts were scattered by the thrill of surprise, prompting an impulsive response, "Alright then, I’ll go prepare the betrothal gifts. I will arrive on a white horse beneath your window tomorrow morning to pick you up!"

His sense of humor came naturally, and encountering a Goddess who played along with him on the same wavelength had him replying without a second thought.

As you can imagine, employees and fans of Allure International witnessed the scene, taking out their phones and cameras, eagerly capturing the moment while envying and cheering. But after all, it was the entrance of Allure International—with good security, not to mention Michael Gordon’s influence was enough to ensure the crowd besieging the idol Goddess started from a place of civility.

In the end, it was just talk, not like the news described a scene of throngs of fans physically overpowering the Goddess.

But when Ariana uttered those earth-shattering words, the fans were practically exploding with questions, nonstop, the so-called question, of course, was whether Ariana truly intended to marry him!

Such a thing, one needn’t even think about it, it was false, of course!

A Goddess was only joking; as fans, there’s no need to take it so seriously, he understood that much!
