Chapter 282
Ariana was reluctant to enter, but she still had the pizza in her hands and had to put it in the kitchen.
Theodore was currently living in the apartment initially occupied by the landlady herself.
As such, his place was much larger than Ariana’s apartment.
There were four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a large balcony with an incredible river view.
Ariana placed the pizza on the countertop hastily and was prepared to leave when she ran into Theodore, who happened to enter the kitchen.
She only had her indoor slippers on when her toes crashed into the metal wheelchair.
She grimaced from the pain, and if she hadn’t cared about her image, she would have been holding her foot and crying out in pain.
“are you okay?” Theodore asked in concern as he helped her stand up.
Ariana pulled her arm away while pretending to be alright.
“I’m fine.
Thank you,” she replied stubbornly.
Theodore quickly controlled his emotions and returned to his cold attitude as he placed his hands back on his armrests.
He turned to the landlady and said, “My housekeeper had just prepared dinner and left.
Why don’t you stay for dinner?
There is too much food for me to finish by myself.
”
The landlady agreed happily, “Okay, we’ll take this opportunity to celebrate your moving in.
”
She pulled Ariana along to the dining room as she spoke.
Caught up in the spontaneity, Ariana had no choice but to stay.

As for the dinner “prepared” by Theodore’s housekeeper, Ariana could tell from a glance that they were from a five-star restaurant.
The foie gras on the table was one of the famous dishes from the Anderson Group’s restaurant.
Ariana sulked as she sat quietly and listened to the conversation between the landlady and Theodore.
She wanted neither to join in nor pick up the tableware.
Instead, she glanced around and noticed that the apartment was fitted with slopes for wheelchairs to move around conveniently.
So this was why the apartment had to be renovated.
Just then, Ariana couldn’t hold her tongue and said in spite, “Mr.
Anderson, you seem to spend your money mindlessly.
How long do you plan on staying? It’s more convenient for you to live in your villa.
Why did you have to renovate the entire apartment?”
Theodore poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Ariana as he replied with a smile, “The view is beautiful, and I feel my mood improve when I’m here.
”
He then turned to the landlady and joked, “Thank you for letting me renovate the apartment.
If it weren’t for the layout, I would have installed a private elevator.
”
The landlady was amused by Theodore’s casual attitude and pleased by his politeness, making her more talkative.
Ariana rolled her eyes and thought that Theodore was really good at acting.
It was a pity that he wasn’t an actor.
When she was lost in thought, the landlady grabbed her hand and introduced her warmly to Theodore, “Theodore, you must be single since you’re living alone, right? Ariana is single too.
You can get to know each other.
”
Theodore smiled slightly as he looked at Ariana and mused, “Really? You are still single?”
Ariana felt a little guilty under Theodore’s watchful gaze but stubbornly insisted, “Yes, what’s wrong with that?”
