Chapter: 78
Agood idea popped up in her mind. She thought it through and then tapped her phone screen. She liked a viral tweet that popped up on her feed.
It read, “Come on, Sarah. Don’t let anyone trample on you. Please release evidence that Lynch is a jerk, so you can silence the haters once and for all!”
It was already two am by the time Ariana stopped reading the tweets. She thought Theodore would be in bed by now, so she didn’t call him back.
She picked up her things, and was about to leave the ward. As she passed by the bathroom, she glanced in the mirror and noticed a red mark on her neck.
Frightened, she moved closer and realized it was a love bite left by that mysterious man.
Although he hadn't actually had sex with her, she still felt guilty, Biting her lip, she pulled up the collar of her shirt to cover the mark.”
Outside, it was snowing. She had to wait ages before she got into a taxi.
By the time she finally got back to the villa, it was three am. Yawning, she pushed the door open. Theodore was sitting in the living room reading documents. It looked like he had been waiting for her.
She stopped in her tracks. She didn’t want to face him. If she did talk to him, he might figure out what happened between her and that mysterious man. Then she would be in real trouble, “Why are you standing at the door? Come in,”
Theodore said casually.
He took a sip of coffee as he watched her slowly walk toward him.
“Where have you been?”
His directness caught her off guard. Realizing she hadn’t prepared an excuse, she stood stunned for a few seconds. “What's wrong? Can | not ask where you were?”
Theodore lowered his voice and stared at her, his eyes sharp.
An excuse crossed her mind, and she hurried to explain, “Of course, you can. | was just out with my best friend, Sonia. We haven't seen each other for so long, so | lost track of time.”
Theodore gave her a meaningful look, before smiling and saying, “Is that true? Because | almost thought you were with a man and that’s why you're back so late.”
Ariana suddenly felt her guilt return. She felt like her husband knew about the affair. She swallowed and forced a laugh. “I won't come back so late next time. Could | invite Sonia here some time?”
“Whatever,” Theodore snorted. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward the stairs.
But Theodore continued, “Why are you still wearing so many clothes? You're sweating. Take your coat off, the heating’s on.”
