Chapter: 94
Theodore looked at Ariana in amazement. It seemed she had an endless source of energy. She was also incredibly magnanimous and forgiving, Even if he treated her badly, she would act as if nothing had happened.
“What's wrong?” Ariana asked, cautiously, thinking his silence meant he was angry. “Nothing. Give me that, I'll do it myself.” Theodore looked away from her and stretched out his hand.
She didn’t give it to him. Instead, she moved her hand behind her back, saying, “Let me help you. | also know some massage techniques that can prevent atrophy.”
Theodore looked at her thoughtfully. After some time, he asked, “Are you pleasing me?”
Ariana was taken aback for a moment but quickly made up her mind. “Yes, is that okay? After all, you’re supporting me at the moment. And I’m very grateful that you arranged for me to work at the company so | can learn and grow. Besides, I’m your nominal wife. This is part of my duty.”
Satisfied with her answer, he leaned back, clearly feeling more relaxed. “That’s good to hear,” he said and chuckled. His smugness made her roll her eyes and scold him silently. She pursed her lips and reached out to him. “So, I'll help you apply the medicine.”
He didn’t decline this time, moving his book out of her way. He picked up his phone and looked at it with his usual indifferent expression.
Ariana sat on the edge of his bed, being careful not to irritate him, and carefully rolled up his loose trousers to above his knee. The scald was more severe than she had expected. His leg was red and swollen from knee to calf.
It was obvious how hot the soup had been. How heartless of Jasper to do something like that.
After cursing Jasper silently, she squeezed some ointment onto her finger and gently applied it.
“Does that hurt?” she asked, without thinking. Then, she realized that his disability meant he shouldn’t feel any pain there. Sure enough, Theodore answered, “No.”
Biting her lip, Ariana continued to carefully apply the ointment to cover the entire scald.
She had an ulterior motive for coming here. She wanted to test whether Theodore’s legs were actually disabled.
When she saw his calm expression, she was about to give up.
She was hesitant. Could she really give up such a golden opportunity?
After some hesitation, she decided to go for it.
She poked his burn with her finger.
He didn’t even flinch, his eyes fixed on his phone.
He didn’t seem to feel any pain at all.
Then she began the massage. Her technique was very professional. She had also given her mother massages when she had been seriously ill in bed.
Ariana took the massage seriously, but the more she worked, the more it seemed nothing was wrong with his legs.
She decided to take a bigger risk and pretend to hit his knee by accident to test his reflexes. Stealing glances at Theodore as she massaged, she saw he was still engrossed in his phone.
She sneakily moved her hand up to his knee, and raised it. But before she could bring her hand down to knock, her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled into his arms.
“Are you trying to express your dissatisfaction with me?” Puzzled, she wanted to look at Theodore to ask what he meant, but he had her head pressed down against his chest.
“We've been married for two weeks, but | haven’t had sex with you for once yet, so now you're giving me hints again and again?” Théodore asked.
She blushed and retorted immediately, “No, | wasn’t. What are you talking about?” Theodore took no notice of her reaction. “It’s okay. It’s just that | can’t move my legs. But if you really want to...”
He paused, and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, “Sit on me and move by yourself.”
