Chapter 110
“Then why are you sitting so far away from me? Am I a leper? I don’t have any disease, so I can’t infect you.
Come closer.
”
Theodore turned his head and glanced at Ariana.
His eyes were frightening and dangerous.
His authoritative tone made her give up instantly.
She pursed her lips and reluctantly moved closer and leaned back.
A nice masculine scent wafted into her nose immediately.
Ariana froze and didn’t dare to look at him.
From the corner of her eye, she saw him approaching her.
The air between them became hotter than before.
Ariana’s heart was beating fast as she expected him to ki*s her.
But a sudden click sound brought her back to her senses.
She looked down and saw that Theodore just fastened the seat belt for her.
She bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
He didn’t intend to ki*s her at all!
Theodore withdrew his hand, leaned back, and looked at his wife’s flushed face.
He teased, “Why are you blushing? Were you expecting something else?” @
Ariana shot him a searing glare.
“I was expecting you to stay away from me.
I could have fastened the seat belt myself.
”
Theodore chuckled.
He sighed and changed the topic.
“Do you know that Lynch evaded arrest?”
“You are also keeping tabs on that guy?” Ariana inquired in surprise.
“Yeah.
I know he’s coming at you,” Theodore responded casually.
Ariana’s heart skipped a beat.
A streak of cold sweat ran down her back.
She bit the insides of her mouth and asked cautiously, “Do you also know what I did to Lynch?”
It was a given that he found out about what happened between her and that mysterious man if he knew that she lured Lynch to a hotel.
Ariana held her breath, her heart thumping against her chest.
Theodore replied with a meaningful smile, “I wasn’t sure before, but this question of yours implicated you.
I found it rather strange that Sarah was proven innocent just because Lynch’s dirty linen was exposed to the public.
You had been working hard to clear up Sarah’s name, so it wasn’t farfetched to suspect that you had a hand in what happened.
” @
Biting her lower lip again, Ariana didn’t know what to say.
She grabbed the hemline of her dress tightly.
She was on an emotional rollercoaster.
A second later, she heaved a sigh of relief.
@
Theodore wasn’t sure before now, so that meant he didn’t know about her escapade with that strange man that night.
If he knew, he wouldn’t be so calm.
He would have kicked her out of the Anderson family home and might even have banished her from this city Eleymond.
After making this conclusion in her head, something occurred to her.
She looked up at Theodore and asked, “Did you come to pick me up because you were afraid that Lynch would attack me to have his revenge?”
Theodore chuckled ambiguously.
He shrugged, leaned back, and closed his eyes without answering her question.
“Tell me… Were you worried about me?” Ariana asked in a barely audible voice.

She wasn’t sure if Theodore heard her or not because he didn’t respond.
His eyelashes only quivered, as if he was saying yes without speaking.
“Can…” Ariana started, but on second thought, she shut up.
She found this hard to believe even though it made her heart warm.
Nonetheless, she still had conflicting feelings.
She couldn’t forget their dispute the previous night.
Once they arrived home, Ariana opened the car door, got out, and was about to rush into the house as if someone was pursuing her.
