Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter 808

Chapter: 808

Catching a flicker of unease cross Theodore’s usually composed face, Ariana asked nonchalantly, “Is

something wrong?”

With a quick shake of his head, Theodore minimized his chat with Horace. “Nothing, just work-related

stuff.”

“Alright.” Lost in her own thoughts, Ariana merely nodded.

Their usual easy conversation faded into silence as they travelled home.

Back at the apartment, Ariana intended to sneak in a quick reply to Mitchel, hoping Theodore wouldn’t

notice. Yet, he was unusually attentive, hovering like a shadow. He was there with a glass of water

when she was thirsty, and sat next to her, laptop in tow, while she watched TV.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, she decided to break the awkwardness.

Shutting off the TV, she announced, “I’m heading for a shower.”

“Okay.”

To her surprise, Theodore followed her into the bathroom.

Taken aback, she stuttered out, “

Grinning, Theodore stepped in. “I’LL run your bath.”

Although it felt odd, Ariana didn’t object. As she settled into the warm bath, Theodore’s bizarre behavior

started to make sense. His constant proximity, as if he was worried she’d disappear, was he feeling

insecure due to the Anderson Group’s financial turmoil?

Emerging from the bathroom, she spotted him with her phone. Alarm bells rang in her head, fearing

he’d seen Mitchel’s text. She made a beeline for the phone, but just as she was about to snatch it, she

saw a phone call in progress from Sarah.

Caught off guard, Ariana pulled back her hand, forcing an awkward smile onto her face.

“Sarah rang while you were in the shower, so I picked up for you.”

After a beat, Theodore’s gaze locked onto her. “Problem with that?”

Ariana sensed the undercurrent of suspicion in his voice, so she quickly reassured him, “No, not at all. I

While still slightly on edge, Ariana was relieved when Theodore didn’t press further. He simply nodded

and handed her the phone.

Turning away to take the call, she was unaware of the intensity in his gaze, a predator watching its prey

with unblinking focus.

“About time you picked up,” Sarah’s voice came from the other end.

“We’re having the ribbon-cutting for the studio in three days. You have to be there.”

The sudden announcement took Ariana by surprise. “That was fast, you’ve already set a date?”
