Chapter 426
Chapter: 426 Ariana’s mind went blank as she listened to this man’s words. She looked at him blankly and couldn't say anything.
She'd never thought she would ever hear these words from Theodore. She had spent countless sleepless nights, waiting for him to return her love.
She had experienced the pain of loving someone who didn’t love her back, and now this... It was such a big surprise and a big shock for Ariana that she was at a loss.
“Ariana, do you have any other concerns?” Theodore asked with a sigh, and then he kissed her soft hand.
All this time, Theodore always thought that the answer she wanted from him was not so important after all. No matter what happened, Ariana was always his woman and his property and she always would be. They would be together for the rest of their lives. No one could take her away from him. ©
Ariana could only be his.
The touch of Theodore’s lips on the back of her hand brought Ariana to her senses.
She looked at the man who was kissing her wrist intimately, and his palm on her waist began to move around her body.
She smiled and said in a low voice, “You always play tricks on me. Who knows if it’s not just another trick you’re playing now?” ©
“Would you like to play a game with me and neither of us can stop in it?” Theodore asked seriously while drawing Ariana closer to him.
After being petrified for quite a while, Ariana snapped back to her senses and flung Theodore’s hand away. “I don’t want to play some stupid game with you.”
Then she hastily broke free from his arms and turned to leave.
Would it hurt him to say he loved her and he wanted to be with her? He had to say a bunch of nonsense and confuse her with words she couldn’t understand at all.
Ariana felt heated with feelings she didn’t understand, either embarrassment or irritation. Either way, she saw red and cursed this man in her heart multiple times.
Yet, frankly speaking, she was aware that it was already difficult for Theodore, a man who always remained reticent and stoic, never saying any meaningless words, to have told her sweet nothings and shown affection.
For a moment, Ariana thought she wasn’t capable enough to keep up with the way the reserved and intelligent man expressed his love.
Certainly, it didn’t rule out the possibility that Theodore was deliberately being ambiguous about what he was actually trying to express in the first place.
By the time she made it from the living room to the hallway, a couple of possibilities had run through Ariana’s mind, each of which occurred on the premise of them getting divorced.
She thought all she needed to do was act tough and leave without looking back. However, she could hear the sound of a wheelchair behind her. The man had stubbornly followed her all the way to the door.
With a straight face, Ariana put her hand on the doorknob and paused. She knew she should turn to look at him briefly and say goodbye expressionlessly, and then leave without hesitation. But when she turned and met Theodore’s bewitching eyes, her heart softened, and all thoughts of leaving dissipated. She asked stiffly, “Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat?”
Theodore suddenly burst into laughter. His usual cold air crumbled away like the ice slowly melting under the warm winter sun. His eyes watered with glee as he laughed. He was touched by her affection. His heart felt warm and fuzzy, and he had a strong urge to engulf Ariana in a hug and make her his once and for all.
