62. Beginning

"Gerald..." Ariana unconsciously moaned the man's name. Gerald froze for a moment. He straightened up instantly. Looking at Ariana with propped up on both elbows without releasing his grip on Ariana's hands.

Ariana's face had turned red, and the girl's breathing seemed labored. And Gerald knew why because he felt the same way.

They both want each other. "Ariana..." Gerald repeated the girl's name hesitantly. But that

what he saw on Ariana's face now made him step back.

"Don't..." Ariana said softly. Her eyes turned red, and Gerald could see an unmistakable glint there. Ariana cried. And Gerald now really got up from his seat.

He felt angry and humiliated at the same time. 'Does he look so disgusting in front of Ariana?' she asked herself. Gerald moved backward, although he did not leave the bed. And Ariana also sat on the bed. "I'm tired."

Ariana spoke up. Gerald turned and saw Ariana like a child hugging her knees.

Gerald tried to understand. He stared at the girl in silence.
