Chapter 529
“Can you at least hug me now?” Helen looked up at him with pleading eyes.
Theodore frowned and was about to decline.
“Can’t you just give your sister a hug of encouragement?” Helen’s voice cracked, and tears started to stream down her face.
“If Marley were still alive, maybe I wouldn’t be so scared.
Marley was always there for me.
”
“Fine,” Theodore reluctantly agreed.
He knew that if he refused, Helen would likely avoid going to the hospital altogether.
“You’re the best, Theodore!” Helen beamed at him with childlike innocence.
She was happy inside that Theodore always fell for it when she brought up Marley.
Who would have thought that there was a hidden camera in the gift she had brought? It would capture the perfect shot of Theodore hugging her.
Helen chuckled to herself.

When Theodore opened his arms, Helen couldn’t help but yearn to snuggle against him.
However, just then, Theodore’s phone rang unexpectedly.
Ignoring Helen, he tumed to take his phone call.
Annoyed, Helen bit her lip.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Theodore smiled.
He was about to answer the call when he suddenly remembered something.
Glancing at Helen, he motioned toward his phone.
“I need to take this call.
Could you step outside for a moment?”
Helen’s face changed as she saw the caller ID.
Goddess? He actually saved someone’s contact as Goddess? Who the hell was that?

“Helen?” Theodore appeared slightly displeased as he noticed her distraction.
Suppressing her anger, Helen forced a smile.
“Alright, I’ll step out for now.
”
After closing the door, Theodore answered the call, hearing a flirtatious female voice on the other end.
“Brother Theodore.

Wearing a smile, Theodore replied, “Could you call me ‘hubby’ instead? I’d rather not be called ‘brother’.
”
“Hmph! I heard your girlfriend came to visit you.
Where is she? How can you still take my call when you’re so busy? Don’t you need to be with her?” Ariana scoffed.
“Who’s spreading rumors and causing my dear wife, Ariana, to misunderstand?” At this moment, Theodore’s tone was sugary sweet as he continually referred to her as his wife.
However, Ariana wasn’t swayed by his sweet talk.
Pretending to be surprised, she retorted, “Mr.
Anderson, you’re a married man.
Why pester me? Aren’t you afraid your wife will become jealous and furious?”
