Ariana thought her act was good. However, her breathing betrayed her. She held her breath for a long
time until she heard his wheelchair roll away.
Theodore maneuvered the wheelchair to the opposite side of the bed, attempting to lift up the quilt, but
it was wrapped beneath Ariana.
Observing her feigned slumber, he sighed in exasperation. “How am I supposed to sleep if you’re like

bed, indicating that he should sleep over there.
Theodore nearly burst into laughter. He leaned over, pinched her cheek, and said dotingly, “You want
me to sleep on the bed that a roach had crawled over?”
That was exactly what Ariana meant. Not wanting to engage in conversation, she continued pretending
to be asleep.
“T understand.”
The sound of rustling fabric reached her ears, and she felt Theodore’s hand leave her face. ©
Then, the light was turned off.
Ariana was secretly happy. She knew he would compromise; it turned out she knew him well.
However, before she could bask in her delight, she felt someone lie down next to her; his manly scent
wafting into her nose.

“What are you doing?” she exclaimed.

red. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Theodore’s face.
They were very close to each other, and their noses were about to touch each other.
The atmosphere was intimate.
His eyes were full of tenderness. He gazed into Ariana’s eyes, making her blush even more.
“Let me go,” she muttered and tried to squirm free.
