Chapter 86
Chapter: 86 But it was Theodore who answered. “Judy asked for some leave and went home.”
The man was maneuvering his wheelchair on the balcony. He was wearing a suit and his hair was meticulously combed. It seemed he had just come back.
“I'll cook then. What would you like to eat?” Ariana went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to find it empty. Theodore followed her and glanced at the empty fridge. “Let’s go out for dinner.”
Downtown, colorful lanterns filled the streets, reminding everyone it was a holiday. Young couples walked around, in intimate embraces.
It was only then that Ariana remembered it was Valentine’s Day. She turned to look at Theodore who was sitting next to her. He looked out the window, with his chin resting on his hand. He looked indifferent, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Ariana looked away again and fiddled with the button on her coat. Such an indifferent person wouldn't pay attention to holidays like Valentine’s Day, and he certainly wouldn’t have come out with her today if he had known, she thought to herself.
The car stopped outside an expensive French restaurant. A man stood at the door, and Ariana assumed he was the manager. When he saw Theodore, he gave him an enthusiastic smile.
“Mr. Anderson, welcome. Let me take you to the private room.” He then introduced some of their new dishes while he walked. Clearly, Theodore was a regular here. The restaurant spanned three large floors, and was decorated with an authentic French style.
The manager led them to a luxurious private room on the top floor. It was a superior location, with floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the sea.
It was a shame it was snowing. The view wasn’t very clear.
Theodore came up next to Ariana and looked out the window. “This restaurant works with the hotel run by the Anderson Group so they keep a private room reserved for the Anderson family all year round. Next time we will come when the weather is good so we can enjoy the view.”
“That’s great,” Ariana said with a smile. They were normally hostile to each other, but today felt different.
It seemed they had forgotten the huge gap between them, and they sat and enjoyed their meal like any ordinary couple. “To your victory in the first battle and proving Sarah’s innocence.” Theodore raised his glass and smiled at her.
His approval made her very happy. “Not only that, but Sarah also received an invitation for a variety show,” she announced proudly.
Her face brightened up like a blooming flower as she said this, her eyes sparkling. All of a sudden, Theodore felt himself attracted to her.
This was the first time he had seen her looking so happy since they got married.
Theodore shook himself and forced his eyes away from her. He took a sip of the wine, pretending nothing had changed.
Ariana picked up her own glass, but when she remembered she could be pregnant, her hand froze on its way to clink glasses with him.
She pulled it back swiftly. “I'd better drink water,” she said, with an awkward smile.
