I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
141. Nosy

"Haahh," Ariel sighed immediately on the sofa as soon as she entered the apartment.

"I'm so tired" he lamented.

Joel just smiled as he shook his head to see his wife's behavior. They had just arrived at the apartment in the middle of the night, and it was because some people were holding Ariel for a photo to be taken together in the outside area of the hotel.

"When we can stay at the hotel, at least it can make you rest faster," said Joel approached Ariel disofa after locking the door.

"I'd rather be here," Ariel answered shutting her eyes.

"I think you'd prefer it there, which means you can also see Darcie for longer" Joel said, sitting next to Ariel.

Ariel's two eyes instantly opened wide and immediately straightened her body.

"Hey, what does that mean?" welcome Ariel to frown.

Joel immediately twisted his body until they faced each other. Both of his eyes peeked into Ariel's bead, giving the wife a sharp look.

"What does that look mean now? You gave me goosebumps, Bunny," said Ariel, beginning to shudder.

"Aren't you the one who said he was perfect? Handsome, rich, and has it all?" joel said repeating what Ariel said when they were still at the Darcie celebration.

"While I am, no" he added.

"Wait a minute" greeted Ariel raised one hand while squinting.

"I said that because everyone would think so and that's the quickest way to distract them while keeping them quiet" Ariel said.

"Everyone?" reload Joel raised his eyebrows. "Include yourself, is that it?" continued.

"Why are you fussing about this now?" lamented Ariel.

"You say things like that in front of everyone and in front of me without burden, that's the problem" Joel replied.

"Didn't I tell you why? And again, I said something like that without any feelings," Ariel began to panic because her husband misunderstood.

'Pft, haha, my God, why does he look so anxious when he panics like this? Makes me want to just tease her, Joel's mind.

"Hey, Bunny, don't tell me you're jealous just because of that" Ariel guessed.

"just?" re-joice Joel narrowed his eyes.

"So you think it's a natural thing and a mistake if I'm jealous?" joel asked with a flat face.

"No, it's not that" Ariel replied shaking both hands.

"But what I say about him without any basis of feeling is different when what I say is related to you or all about you,"

"Don't I say that in front of them?" ariel.

"Isn't that the same thing? What makes it sound different?" welcome Joel still maintaining a flat face.

"If it's about you, I say it because I love you, not just to distract them where I don't have any feelings in them" Ariel said.

Joel turned his face away, hiding the look on his face from Ariel as he tried to hold back his laughter.

"Hey,, Bunny," called Ariel in a clear voice.

"I'm sorry if what I did offended you, I didn't mean it" Ariel said.

"You know I'm just gonna love you, don't you?" grab Joel's hand and hold it.

Joel turned his head in a swift motion, his breathing instantly turning heavy, until he placed his hand on Ariel's nape and scooped his lips violently.

Ariel gasps with a sudden change of mood, feeling something different with her husband, until both hands try to push Joel away but the energy he released only makes Joel flinch. Her husband turned more aggressive than before.

Joel's hand began to fumble the zipper of the dress that was still attached to Ariel's body and pulled her down, making Ariel more surprised and more rebellious.

'I must remember to no longer make him jealous, he becomes terrible when jealous, ' Ariel's inner self still tries to rebel despite his futility.

Ariel hit Joel's chest several times as she felt he was almost out of breath, making Joel pull his face, showing a wide grin that made Ariel sober.

"It sucks!" ariel's murmur pushes Joel away, but Joel still doesn't let Ariel go.

"You're just teasing me, aren't you?" ask Ariel.

"Think_,,,,"

"I'm not lying when I say I'm jealous because you're saying something sweet about the other guy in front of me" Joel said.

"But I also understand what you mean. It's just that sounds annoying," Joel said.

"And you said that so calmly when I couldn't even touch you properly for a few days. Plus your looks like this,"

"To chat for a while, like not having the opportunity because the hospital job took my time," said Joel.

"But why would you have to tease me like that? I thought you were really mad at me" Ariel grumbled.

"Didn't you do that a lot?" joel asked back.

"Ohh, so you're taking revenge?" ariel squinted her eyes.

Joel smiled and replied with action, he immediately pulled Ariel up, making half of the dress he wore slide down slowly until his shoulder was fully exposed in front of Joel's eyes.

He encouraged the isatri to enter the room, while his free hand slowly began to take off his own clothes. Until, when they are in the room, Joel only gives a gentle pull on the dress to make it detach completely.

"You're making a long drama just for this?" ariel asked with a look of disbelief.

"Whatever the thing about you is not just 'just' to me," said Joel clutching Ariel's waist.

"At least I can still hold back until we get our privacy time, not let it go while we're still in the car" Joel said.

"Hemmm,," murmured Ariel wrapped her hands around Joel's neck.

"I want to know, how well do you control yourself? Hemm?" challenge Ariel.

"Is that your subtle way of asking for a gift from me?" ariel smiled.

The smile on Joel's face widened, sticking his forehead over Ariel.

"What would you do if I said 'Yes'? You know I don't like ponolukan, do you?" joel replied asking.

"Then get your present" Ariel replied.

###A few moments before

Darcie's event ended at midnight. However, this is not a barrier for guests who have not left the party.

Ken went home with Alice. That night Alice had seen all the truths that had been debated with her friends. False rumors that had circulated and made Ariel considered bad turned around to make Ariel respected by people from various upper classes.

Bram leaves to take Jesica home unhindered, leaving Ariel and Joel, who are also preparing to return home, but are blocked by some people asking for a photo together after the event is over.

When the event is still going on, they cannot use their mobile phones because the rule is not allowed to use mobile phones to take pictures or record.

Moments after Ariel and Joel died, on the other hand, Darcie accompanied by his assistant was dealing with Evrad.

"I hope this is the last time you'll bother them, and your son. Although you're his father, but now he's also my business partner,"

"You are under my watch, Mr. Evrad," said Darcie with an emphasis on tone of voice.

"The little moves you make and they're related to the four of them, I'll mean as you challenge me,"

"And I won't hesitate anymore if it happens,"

Darcie left Evrad sitting drowned on the ground. He could no longer make any movement.

###The next day...

Ariel flinched in the morning and immediately opened her eyes wide as she looked at the window the sunlight had pierced through the curtains of their room.

"Jeez, what time is it?" ariel was surprised.

He fumbles on the nightstand to look for his cellphone, but his movements are a little restrained when he realizes Joel is still asleep beside him and still clutching his body.

Moving slowly, Ariel found the phone to see what time it was because she forgot to change the battery of the wall clock in the room. Instantly he widened his eyes when he saw the clock on the phone 08.30am.

"Well, I'm late" Ariel said.

She slowly uncovers the blanket because she does not want to wake her husband who is still asleep. Shifted Joel's hand that wrapped around her waist carefully.

However, before his efforts succeed, Joel again pulled Ariel back to lie down.

"Just sleep again,!" joel's suggestion with eyes still closed.

"It's too late, Bunny," complained Ariel.

"Today I'm not working, so can we just go for a walk?" persuade Joel to open his eyes.

"We can do it, but let me go to work this morning, and we leave at lunchtime, how about it?" answer Ariel.

"You leave it to Ken!" persuade Joel again.

"I still want it to be like this for longer" said Joel, clenching his arms around Ariel's waist.

While one hand grabbed Ariel's phone and contacted Ken without waiting for his wife's answer.

While waiting, Ken's voice was heard with several other voices speaking.

"Yes, brother? Did Ariel's sister arrive late today?" greet Ken.

"It's me" said Joel.

"Ehh,, brother Joel? Did something happen?" ask Ken.

"Today he's not leaving, can you handle it?" ask Joel.

"It could be, but why? Is Ariel's brother sick?" ask Ken.

"No, but we have business" said Joel.

"So, can you cope today without, Ariel?" ask Joel.

"Of course you can" replied Ken.

"Then, please yes, I close first" said Joel immediately disconnecting his call before hearing Ken's reply.

Joel put Ariel's phone on the nightstand, while Ariel just looked at her husband with her eyes narrowed.

"You lied very convincingly" Ariel said.

"Thank you for the compliment" said Joel.

"That's not a compliment, Bunny," Ariel said.

"Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, anything. Now let's go to bed again, "take Joel.

"In exchange, today I will cook for you" Joel said.

"For the next week" Ariel said.

"Hey, that's not fair" Joel protested.

"Yes or I'm off to the studio" Ariel threatened.

"Sneaky," said Joel.

"You yourself said this cleverly, not cunningly," Ariel stuck out her tongue.

"All right, all right, you win. Until the next week I'll cook, you happy?" sahut Joel raised his eyebrows.

"Very," replied Ariel with a big smile back buried her face in Joel's chest.

To be honest Ariel was still very sleepy that morning, and the way Joel contacted Ken a little helped her to get some extra time to rest.

And Ariel also knew, her husband realized it, but acted as if he did not know and accepted her request to cook just because her husband wanted to spoil her.

"You are the perfect husband of my life" whispered Ariel.

Joel just smiled a little, tightened his hold, so it didn't take long for them to fall back asleep.
