Chapter 105 Sheraz

• Gerald and Ariana raised their heads, looking at the person who called them. A Middle Eastern-looking man with a tall stature, broad chest, and long legs smiled at them mockingly. "I didn't expect to meet you here," Gerald snorted. The man, greeted coldly, smiled again. His eyes then glanced at Ariana.
• "Is this Mr. Gerald Zeroun's bride?" he asked curiously. "Honestly, I thought your wife wasn't too beautiful, considering you've been hiding her from the public. And I thought, she must not be worthy of your pride, considering you've deliberately concealed your marriage. But it seems..." the man looked at Ariana with a praising yet polite gaze. Then he extended his hand. "I'm Sheraz," he said as Ariana shook his hand. His grip was firm, not the teasing kind of handshake. And even though his tone sounded insulting, he smiled politely, reaching his eyes.
• In her heart, Ariana smiled. It seemed like this man was to Gerald what Chris was to her. Both of them appeared to have a past that only the two of them knew. And Ariana reassured herself that she could be a good friend to him, just like she was to Chris.
