Chapter 253
Undeterred, Helen trailed after Ariana and resumed their unfinished conversation.
“We will get to know each other if we talk more.
After all, we will be seeing each other every day in the future.
”
Ariana hit the tap hard, and the sound of the water was loud enough to muffle Helen’s voice.
Despite this, Helen persisted and asked, “What gift did you give Theodore on his birthday last night?”
But Ariana paid no attention and instead focused on cleaning the bowl.
Helen spoke up again.
“I gave Theodore a sapphire cuff-link.
He likes it very much.
He put it on as soon as he received it.
”
Ariana’s brows furrowed, her emotions getting the better of her.
She fought to keep her composure and not let her anger show.
As Ariana paused, Helen realized she had hit a nerve.
Helen kindly tumed off the tap for Ariana, and then prodded, “Ariana, did you not give a gift to Theodore?
That’s not good.
A birthday is an important day, and Theodore will be sad.

Ariana’s patience with Helen was wearing thin.
She turned around and let out a sharp retort, “It’s none of your business!” Her tone was so cutting that it seemed to slice through the air.
Helen was taken aback by Ariana’s sudden outburst and recoiled two steps.
She was at a loss for words and could only utter a stuttering sound.
Tears welled up in Helen’s eyes, and she began to whimper uncontrollably.
“What are you doing?” Unexpectedly, Theodore wheeled himself into the kitchen, catching Ariana and Helen in the middle of their heated exchange.
Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, Theodore’s commanding presence filled the room, as he was dressed impeccably in a sharp suit that suggested he had just returned from an important business meeting.

Meanwhile, Helen, with her eyes still moist, ran to Theodore and clung to his arm as if seeking refuge.
In a pathetic tone, she complained to him, “Theodore, I don’t know why Ariana is so mean to me.
I just asked her a simple question, and she scolded me.
”
Ariana was at a loss for words.
Just as she was about to explain herself, she caught a glimpse of the sapphire cuff-link on Theodore’s sleeve, clearly his preferred style.
It was apparent that Helen knew him well, and Ariana fell silent.
All of a sudden, she didn’t want to say anything.
She turned on her heel and left the kitchen.
“Ariana.
”
Theodore’s voice was unusually earnest as he called out to her, but Ariana didn’t turn back and made a quick dash upstairs.
Frowning, Theodore watched her retreat, his heart heavy with concern.
Helen, who had been observing the scene from the sidelines, couldn’t help but smirk to herself.
She put on a pitiful facade as Theodore turned to her.
“Maybe Ariana dislikes me; that’s why she’s so against me.
”
After a moment of contemplative silence, Theodore spoke gravely.
“Since my wife doesn’t like you, it’s best that you don’t show up in front of her anymore.
