The Billionaire’s Surrogate Wife

Early in the morning, as agreed, it was Samuel’s turn to prepare breakfast. Spaghetti Carbonara combined with warm milk is the mainstay of the menu that the man serves for his wife to eat.

While bribing her food, Samuel kept smiling so wide. I don’t know what the man was thinking, to attract Ariana’s attention to immediately rebuke her husband.

“Why are you smiling incoherently like that?”

“I’m German, you’re French. I noticed you’re getting cuter.”

Ariana sighed lazily. For God’s sake, if he didn’t marry Samuel, maybe he would never know that her husband had a personality that was very far from his appearance.

He just looks arrogant. But her heart is like hello kitty. It’s even a hobby to utter magical sentences that sometimes make Ariana gape. Yes, like this morning for example.

“You’re not clear. It’s still early, Samuel. You don’t have to start,” Ariana chuckled while enjoying the food on her plate.

“I’m serious, honey. It doesn’t matter if my behavior isn’t clear. But my love for you is definitely clear,” the man grumbled. “But to be honest, you are getting cuter and cuter. Especially last night when you were fierce in bed, I see you are getting sexier.”

“Jesus, Samuel!” she exclaimed. After a while, the woman’s demeanor changed. How could it not be, there was Tia and another household assistant who happened to be tidying things up in the kitchen at that time. Of course, they must have heard what Samuel had just said. “Your mouth, can you censor it a little or not? Later it will be heard by the assistant who is at work, I’m embarrassed,” Ariana said later. Because he didn’t want to be heard, he spoke in a whisper with Samuel, who had only been smiling.

“You think my mouth is a KPI? Using all kinds of sensors. Besides, in your own house, why use all kinds of embarrassment.”

Finished saying that, Samuel immediately turned to her household assistant who sounded giggling. He knew very well, they would both be laughing at what Samuel had said earlier.

“Why are you laughing like that? You’ve never seen a husband and wife more intimate, have you?” Samuel scolded.

The two of them were silent for a moment. As the oldest and longest-serving assistant, it was Tia who decided to answer Samuel’s questions.

“It’s not like that, sir. It’s just funny. After years of living and working here, I just found out that Mr. Samuel is actually funny.”

“Funny … Funny … I’m not not a teletubies, huh.”

“It’s not,” said Reni, another assistant. “Mr. Samuel is suitable to be an actor.”

“Well, if that’s true. I’m really fit to be an artist.”

“Yes, sir. Comedy artist or buffoonery.”

Ariana immediately laughed. Right? Not only him. Even everyone who knows Samuel closely, will definitely feel that this man is really far from expectations. No authority at all. It’s 180 degrees different when you’re in the office or meeting with co-workers.

Back to enjoying breakfast, one of Samuel’s other assistants was seen walking in from outside the room while carrying two guests. Ariana, who at that time had just finished eating, was a little surprised then her face turned irritated. In front of him, there is now Randa’s soson who turns out to stop by his house early in the morning, bringing along a woman who was the topic of their conversation last night.

“Samuel, Ariana,” said Randa. Without excuse me, without needing to be invited, the man immediately pulled the dining chair. He sat down right across from Ariana. While one other guest also did the same thing. As if they were at home, they sat down straight away without being asked to do so.

“It’s really delicious to have breakfast,” said the oriental-looking man then.

“You haven’t eaten yet?” Samuel asked, wiping her lips with a napkin. He had just finished the milk in his glass. Spaghetti that was made earlier is also gone.

“Not yet,” said Randa. “Earlier, we rushed home to pick up Sandara at Opa’s house. We both intend to have breakfast here.”

Samuel nodded, then called the house assistant her hand immediately.

“Mba Tia, please prepare spaghetti for my two cousins. At the same time, please drink them too.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Yes, sir. I’ll prepare it immediately.”

While waiting for the food to be served, the four of them continued to chat. Because the timing was right, Samuel decided to introduce Sandara to Ariana first.

“So that I don’t misunderstand again and while the person is also here, let me introduce myself first,” said Samuel. Then the man turned to Ariana as he spoke again. “Darling, you met first. This is Sandara. Yes, yesterday during the meeting we did get acquainted, but I don’t think it’s a problem if we meet again now.”

“Hello, Ariana,” said Sandara, smiling. The woman kindly offered a hand. Invites Ariana to get acquainted. “I’m Sandara. Samuel’s youngest cousin. Last night I wanted to talk to you, but it looks like you’ve gone out with Randa first.”

Ariana smiled back. Holding Sandara’s hand, he spoke back.

“I’m Ariana. It’s also nice to know you. So, you’re Samuel’s cousin?”

“Yes, I’m a descendant of Walters too. Incidentally, all this time he has lived in Singapore. The next time you go there, don’t forget to stop by. Most of Walters’s family do live in Singapore.”

Ariana nodded.

“What about Darwin? Still your cousin too? Or Samuel’s cousin from the other party?”

“Darwin is the same, he is my cousin, Randa, and Sandara.”

“But why is his surname Salim? Not Walters,” Ariana asked curiously. In fact, she had been wanting to ask her husband for a long time.

“Look, I’ll explain to you. So, there are 5 children of Antonie Walters or Opa Antonie and not all of them live in Indonesia. The first is named Artayudha Walters. His children are Rama and Sinta. The second is Alfonso Walters or my father. His son just happens to be I am alone. The third, a woman named Claudia Walters, is Darwin and Celina’s mother. The fourth is Adrian Walters, the father is Randa. Then the last child is Anggara Walters. That is Sandara’s father. Here, because Claudia’s aunt married Uncle Purnomo Salim , so the names of the children clearly use the surname Salim, not Walters like the others.”

Ariana nodded. Deeply analyze what Samuel just described. It turns out that this is the genealogy of the famous Walters family. As a wealthy tycoon who actually comes from Singapore, Ariana admits that Samuel’s grandfather was very successful in educating all of his offspring, both sons and daughters and grandchildren, so that everything can be as successful as it is now.

“That’s why, Ariana, you are very lucky to be part of this family,” continued Sandara. “Not everyone can pass the selection to become a future son-in-law.”

“Yes, because of this, I’m having a hard time looking for a partner,” interrupted Randa. He returned to his voice after listening silently before.

“What are you bothering? Don’t you have a lot of girlfriends? You keep changing too. That’s why the nickname crocodile is the right one for you,” said Samuel.

Randa let out a long sigh. It must be admitted, among all the men of Walters descent, he is indeed the one who is known for having multiple partners. But still, nothing has succeeded in bringing him down the aisle.

“That’s exactly it, Ken. So far, I’ve changed a lot but it’s still useless. No one has been approved by Mama.”

“It’s true that you are suitable for an arranged marriage,” said Sandara, smiling mockingly. In their family it is. If you can’t bring a partner who fits your family’s criteria, you must be prepared to match up with the candidates that have been provided.

“It’s really lazy to arrange all kinds of arranged marriages,” sighed Randa. The man’s face immediately turned dispirited.

Samuel just smiled. It was common to see Randa like this.

“That’s why we are struggling to find candidates who fit the criteria. At least it’s like a tuyul.”

“How come you’re like a tuyul? You told me to be a thief?” wondering Randy.

“It’s not about stealing the money. It’s about the spirit. You don’t see it fighting, you don’t get tired, you don’t talk a lot, you don’t complain a lot. But the results are clear.”

“Damn it!” Randa cursed.

“But what about Sandara herself? Do you have a partner or not?” asked Samuel. Because after being separated for a long time, he did not know anything about the latest news about his cousin. It seems that Randa still often meets or even visits when she returns to Singapore.

“Got it,” said Sandara. “Fortunately this candidate was approved by Papa.”

“Which person is it?” Samuel asked curiously.

Sandra took out her cell phone. Looking for a picture of a man, to then show it to Samuel.

“Here, my current boyfriend.”

Samuel took a glance at the cell phone that Sandara was showing. Look carefully, only then give a response.

“I think it’s ok. But if you have a guy with a mustache like this, it really needs to be maintained,” said the man.

Randa and Sandara returned to their amazement. So I’m curious as to what reason made Samuel say that.

“What’s wrong with the mustache?”

“Yes, fix, that means he is a catfish, not a crocodile. Take a look at Randa, her face is smooth. That’s why she belongs to the stump crocodile species.”

“Impudent! His face is also smooth.”

“In particular, I’m an exception. Where are there crocodiles that are as beautiful as I am. Isn’t that right, dear?” asked Samuel then to Ariana. The woman just smiled. Then it didn’t take long for him to sulk again until he was reprimanded by Randa.

“Why is your face bent like that, Ariana? Did you eat wrong?”

Ariana shot him a sharp glare. Don’t forget, who last night managed to provoke him so that he misperceived and became annoyed with Samuel.

“How could you lie to me last night!”

Hearing Ariana’s answer, Randa immediately laughed. Of course he remembered the sin he had made last night.

“Geez, Ariana. I was just kidding.”

“Your joke isn’t funny!” snapped Ariana.

Samuel who was sitting next to Ariana immediately laughed. Bringing his hand, then rubbed the woman’s back gently while speaking.

“But I thank you, you know, and Randa. Thanks to her who managed to provoke you, last night I won a lot.”

“What do you mean, Ken?” asked Randa curiously.

“Yes, because you lied to Ariana, she and I became —-”

Ariana certainly didn’t let her husband continue his sentence which was definitely very vulgar. Taking his hand, he immediately covered Samuel’s mouth with a piece of white bread so that the man would immediately shut up.

“You don’t need to continue. It’s better for Randa and Sandara to continue breakfast. After that, we’ll go to the office together.”

***

Before actually getting out of the car, Samuel once again hugged and kissed Ariana on both cheeks. Once down, the man immediately walked to the meeting room with Randa. While Ariana herself chose to go straight to her office.

Just about to enter the elevator, Ariana was amazed. When the elevator booth opened, he found Chacha who seemed to be holding hands with Axton, her husband’s assistant. I don’t know when he got close, what is certain is that he was very surprised by the sight of this one.

“Chacha,” Ariana scolded.

Realizing the presence of other people, Chacha immediately brushed aside Axton’s hand. Both of them looked uncomfortable. In fact, Ben immediately left and chose to walk first, leaving Chacha and Ariana just like that who were about to go to the next floor.

“Hey, what are you doing?” sneered Ariana. The woman’s eyes flickered coquettishly. It was obvious to tease Chacha who looked embarrassed.

“What the heck, Ariana?” replied Chacha while continuing to wait for the elevator they took to reach the destination floor.

“You owe me an explanation about your relationship with Pak Axton.”

“I have nothing to do with him,” said Chacha. Trying very hard to deny the accusations that Ariana laid.

“Ahmaca? Lying. If I lie, I swear I’ll become an old maid.”

“Don’t!” shook Chacha. The woman’s face contorted in panic.

“Okay, that’s why the story. Use all the secrets.”

As soon as the elevator door opened, Chacha immediately pulled Ariana to her room. There, the woman sat for a while recounting the chronology of her recent relationship with Axton, who was the personal assistant to the leader of Palma.

“So, since the reunion with the poison snail gang the other day, you’ve started to get close to Pak Axton?” asked Ariana to make sure. Chacha just nodded. It was no longer able to dodge whatever it was that Ariana asked.

“I think about it, Pak Axton is no less cool. Yes, he is included in the criteria for the boy I have always wanted.”

Ariana chuckled. Assuming what Chacha conveyed was just a cliche explanation. Or even seem contrived.

“Alah, an excuse. Basically, Pak Axton is cute and you just ask him while you’re at it.”

“Yeah, really. But it’s not bad. He’s in the class of handsome guys in Palma. Besides, he’s also in the established category. So, I don’t think it’s a loss if I have a relationship with him. It’s okay, you get the boss, I get the assistant.” .”

“Why not just Mr. Randa?” Ariana offered. After all, if you want to be good-looking, Randa seems like a candidate to be reckoned with.

“No, ah. Mr. Randa is a well-known playboy. It’s better if Mr. Axton has a good track record. I’ll just be on the safe side.”

Both are engrossed in telling stories. As soon as office hours started, Chacha himself decided to return to the room. While Ariana herself continues her work.

In the afternoon, after leading the meeting, Samuel and Randa were still involved in a little conversation. Still discussing about work, suddenly Axton came. The man immediately approached Samuel. His face looked very worried. It’s like you’re having an emergency.

“Mr. Samuel, there is big news that you should know,” said his assistant.

Samuel turned around. Putting on a confused face, the man accepted the proffered tablet that Axton had just given him. Read the series of text shown on the screen. Then before long, the man’s eyes widened.

“Big businessman Samuel Walters, involved in a contact marriage scandal in order to make big profits from the Pakuwon Group.”
