Chapter 834: Chapter 813: For Life!

A lifetime?

Adam was directly stunned by these three words; he knew all too well what they represented!

From the morning when they registered their marriage, these three words had been circling in his mind, also supporting his belief to treat her well.

But all these were wishful thinking. However, hearing these words from Ariana Hunt’s mouth had exceeded his imagination.

"Mm, okay!"

Since the woman had already spoken to this extent, it was naturally not appropriate for a man to be too fussy. So, Adam wasn’t fussy at all, and just honestly took the quilt she had moved over from the sofa, and arranged it nicely on one side of the big bed, "Don’t worry, I won’t roll over to your side!"

Feeling that wasn’t quite enough, he then directly took a pillow from the cabinet and placed it between their quilts, adding, "If you see me crossing the demarcation line set by the pillow, feel free to kick me off the bed!"

After saying that, without even looking at her, he buried his head and made a beeline for the quilt to sleep.

Ariana Hunt was left standing dumbfounded on one side of the bed, her expression of astonishment still not faded.

When had she told him she was worried about him rolling over to her side?

And who told him that marrying him was about playing pretend spouses?

Was she that bored?

To marry someone just for fun?

Was he planning to continue this charade without touching her, then glaring at her while suggesting a divorce?

Or did he think she was in trouble, that marriage was inevitable, so he became this good person to help enact this drama, and then afterwards live separately?

A flurry of questions bombarded Ariana Hunt’s mind, exploding one after another. Any drowsiness she felt had vanished in an instant, leaving her completely awake without a hint of sleepiness.

Standing by the bed for a while, Ariana Hunt eventually got in, turned off the light, and lay down in her quilt. Tossing and turning for a while, she still couldn’t fall asleep. She wanted to have a real life with him, but his attitude made it clear—he was just treating her as an idol, a Goddess, with no intention of having a life together!

But she naturally couldn’t bring herself to voice such a sentiment first!

Yet on second thought, a man who didn’t take advantage when it was outright handed to him had to be sincere, and was worth her preparation to spend a lifetime with, especially since he was Michael Gordon’s assistant—it probably meant he was indeed a good person!

Luckily, she was not ready now either, so his actions could be seen as giving her a buffer and an adjustment period.

Thinking this way, Ariana’s mood relaxed considerably. With this relaxation came waves of sleepiness, and before long, she had fallen asleep.

When she woke up the next day, the pillow had already flown off to who knows where!

As Michael Gordon’s personal assistant and part-time underling, Adam’s biological clock was very precise; waking up just past seven, he realized that the so-called demarcation line he had so confidently set the night before had disappeared, and his entire body had moved over to Ariana Hunt’s side. What was more damning was that he had held the woman tightly in his arms—and the posture was very much like that of the dark-hearted male lead in a romance novel.

He had promised not to cross the line, but upon waking the next day, he had rolled over to the female lead’s side and held her in his arms.

Damn it!

This trick might work on others, but for her, an actress in showbiz who had played far more roles than this, Adam couldn’t help but feel utterly mortified. She must see him as a sleazy man who says one thing to her face and another behind her back.

He even dreaded to imagine the look of disappointment on her face when she woke up and saw him, but because the woman in his arms was sleeping so soundly, he dared not move, unable to execute even the thought of destroying the evidence of his crime!

In the end, Adam could only maintain his position, carefully scrutinizing the woman in his arms—the pale skin, the delicate features, and the peaceful, serene expression she wore in sleep, so different from her usual aloof and lofty demeanor!

If the usual her was a fairy who dwelt above the mortal concerns of fireworks, then the sleeping her was like a tranquil and serene jade of the human world, truly living up to being the Goddess he had admired at first sight, whose charm only increased with time!

Being able to appreciate her at such close range by himself was already an honor, let alone the fact that she was now his wife!

Thinking of this, a warm sense of happiness spread through his heart. Just having her was already a happiness, even without anything more!

"Staring at me like this early in the morning will make me overthink!

The moment Ariana Hunt opened her eyes, she saw him looking at her with intense focus, almost as if he were about to draw out her soul, and it took her by surprise to find herself in his arms. As for the so-called ’38th Parallel’ pillow he mentioned last night, after scanning around, she realized it had rolled onto the floor.

Seeing her awake, a guilty Adam quickly pushed her away as if he had touched a live wire. "That... that pillow... I..."

In his nervousness, he didn’t know whether to talk about the pillow first or to explain how he might have dreamed of holding her in his arms!

"Pfft!"

Ariana Hunt, feeling a bit dizzy, burst into laughter upon seeing his tense reaction. He was quite cute and interesting, "The pillow might have been kicked down by me. I have a habit of hugging something when I sleep. Usually, I hug a big bear at home, probably mistook you for the bear last night. Sorry about that, ha!"

Adam: "..."

"To get such good treatment as a bear, to be able to hold the Goddess I like while sleeping, I’d be willing to be a bear for a lifetime!"

Ariana Hunt: "..."

Would she really marry a bear?

"Ahem, Adam, we’re married now, you’re my husband, how can you be a bear?"

Previously, she felt too lonely, thinking she needed someone to accompany her. It wasn’t easy to find such a person in the entertainment industry, so she got used to the company of her big bear. But now, she was married. How could she treat her husband as a bear!

Whether her choice this time was right or wrong, whether she would remain happy or regret it in the future, that was her choice. Since she had taken such a bold step, she ought to make the greatest effort for the step she had taken!

"No matter, as long as you are happy and joyful, I’m willing to be any kind of bear!"

Ariana Hunt: "..."

This man seems a bit...

"Adam!"

After thinking it over, Ariana Hunt felt it was necessary to have a proper conversation with him. After all, they were married. She didn’t want to find someone just as a shield—that would be unfair to him!
