Chapter: 286

She gave Theodore a puzzled look. Was this a coincidence? How did he know her favorite foods, and

how did he know she would dine here with him?

She told herself to stop overthinking and flattering herself. It was best to take it as a coincidence.

Ariana cast her questions aside and focused on finishing the food on her plate.

Being an extrovert, the landlady soon forgot her embarrassment and chatted happily with Theodore

again. “Theodore, where is your wife? Why isn’t she living with you?”

Suddenly, Theodore looked a little lonely. He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

The landlady sensed a potential for gossip and pressed on, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong

with your relationship? How could she bear to let you rent an apartment alone when you are in this

state?”

Theodore frowned and sighed as he said helplessly, “My wife is just too busy working to care about

me.”

Although he sounded emotionless, his words somehow aroused the pity of the landlady.

The landlady felt indignant for Theodore. She slammed the table angrily and cried, “Your wife is too

cruel!”

Ariana was startled by the intense and sudden display of anger that she almost jumped up from her

seat.

Ariana was caught off guard as Theodore and the landlady abruptly changed to the sensitive subject.

She dropped her utensils and sat upright, unsure of what to do next.

He looked so sad and meek that even Ariana was almost fooled by his act, not to mention their

landlady.

The landlady’s fiery personality was on full display as her curly hair seemed to stand on end with fury.

She was outraged that someone would neglect their husband, who was unable to even walk on his

own. “How can she leave you, her husband behind just because she’s busy at work?” she scolded. “A

wife should be giving more attention to her husband, not neglecting him like this.”

Ariana felt her throat constrict and her stomach knot up as she listened to the harsh words spewing

from the landlady’s mouth. She lowered her head, feeling guilty.

But as Ariana struggled to keep her composure, Theodore was calm and he seemed to be enjoying the

scene, smiling slyly as he put on a show of disappointment and sacrifice. “I should be understanding,”

Theodore said, his voice dripping with faux compassion. “After all, my wife is ambitious. It’s all my fault

that I can’t contribute more to her career. If only my legs worked properly, I could share some of her

burdens.”

Ariana’s heart twisted with guilt. Had she really been neglecting him so much? She couldn’t shake the

feeling that Theodore was manipulating her, but she couldn’t help but feel ashamed of herself as well.

On second thought, Ariana realized something was not right. She had dedicated her time and energy to

SJ Entertainment, all because of him. And yet here he was, acting as though it was entirely her fault

that she was neglecting him for work.

Meanwhile, the landlady’s face was twisted with indignation as she moved her food away. She decided

to play the role of emotional counselor and urged Theodore to come clean. “Does your wife even know

you’ve moved out? If she does and still lets you go, then she must have a heart of stone. Maybe it’s

time to move on and find someone else.”

There was a moment of silence, and then Theodore spoke slowly, his words weighted with meaning. “I

have never thought of divorcing her.”

Ariana snapped out of her distracted state as Theodore spoke, her attention drawn to him like a

magnet. Theodore, however, didn’t even look back at her.

Instead, he put on a bitter smile and addressed the landlady. “I just hope that she can think of me

occasionally. Don’t always stay outside. It would be better if she could care about me more.”

The notion that Theodore wanted her to care about him more seemed laughable to Ariana. After all,

wasn’t Helen already taking care of him? Wasn’t that enough?
