His tone was sharp. Soon, his serious and cold face appeared on the screen, and his eyebrows
creased in a frown.
Ariana was already in a bad mood after enduring a tough day. When she heard ‘Theodore’s fierce
questions, she couldn’t help but burst into anger.
“ll answer my phone when I want to, and it’s not up to you to decide!”
Theodore’s surprise was evident as he raised his eyebrows and started to speak.
“You…”
“What’s your point? Did I say anything wrong?” Ariana cut him off abruptly. Fueled by the frustrations
she had been enduring, her anger surged and her eyes welled up with tears. “What does it matter to

Did you ever tell me where you went? And did you tell me that you went out to celebrate your birthday
with another woman?”
Theodore quietly watched Ariana glaring at him, and for a moment, it seemed like a competition to see
who would break the silence first.
But to Ariana’s surprise, Theodore suddenly burst out laughing, laughing louder and louder with tears in
his eyes.
It was the first time she had seen him so happy.

Ariana’s face twisted with anger as she demanded, “What’s so funny? Stop laughing!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop.” Theodore took a deep breath to calm down, and the once indifferent expression
on his face had now transformed into a delighted one, much like a warm spring sun.

were wrong earlier. I didn’t spend my birthday with Helen. Instead, I asked the bodyguard to
accompany her. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Horace. He was the one who arranged the
bodyguard.”
Ariana was stunned upon hearing this unexpected explanation from Theodore. She looked up at him
awkwardly and said, “Horace is your man, he’ll surely cover for you. How can we be sure he’s telling
the truth?”

That means we didn’t collude with each other,” Theodore patiently replied.
“Then tell me, where did you go that night? Did you go to work alone?”
Theodore didn’t say anything, which confirmed Ariana’s suspicion.
Initially, she didn’t believe it. But on second thought, it seemed possible for a workaholic like him to
spend his birthday alone.
“Can’t you just get the bodyguard’s phone number from Horace?” Theodore suggested, noticing
Ariana’s hesitation.
Ariana shook her head and said, “They’re all your men, and they follow your orders.
