Chapter 533
He turned his chair to face the window, gazing out at the bustling traffic below.
His thoughts drifted as he rotated the wedding ring on his finger.
He straightened his suit jacket and stood up, ready to leave.
Horace was waiting for him outside with a wheelchair.
Theodore sat down and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves.
He opened his eyes as they entered the elevator and checked his phone once more, but still no message.
Frowning, Theodore glanced at his watch.
It was not yet eleven o’clock.
He dialed Ariana’s number, but it went straight to voicemail.
Theodore scowled, his irritation growing.
Had she forgotten to let him know when she arrived home today?
“Let’s head back to the apartment first,” Theodore instructed Horace as he settled into the car.
As the car made its way through the busy streets, Theodore took the opportunity to rest with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed twice in his hand.
Opening his eyes, he glanced at the screen with a frosty expression, but then a gentle smile spread across his lips.
It was a message from Ariana.
“I’m sorry.
I didn’t check my phone while I was in the shower.
Did you finish work? Have you eaten?”
Theodore quickly typed a reply, his fingers moving with ease.
“Yes, I’m finished for the day.

“I am feeling exhausted after a long day and want to get some rest.

I hope to get Tyler to work with him.

Feeling a little disappointed, Theodore replied with a sad face emoji.
“Okay,” he typed.
Ariana tried to comfort him, “Good boy.
Get some rest tonight.
I’m going to dry my hair! Sweet dreams, ki*s.
”
Theodore replied with a simple “Good night” before ending the conversation.
As they arrived at the apartment building, Theodore stepped out of the car and settled into his wheelchair.
Even though the night was quiet and there were no people around, he still made an effort to play the part of a disabled person with limited mobility.
“Boss, do you want me to grab some takeout? You haven’t eaten yet,” Horace offered from behind.
Theodore was about to respond, but when he lifted his head, he noticed that the room where Ariana resided was dark.
“Is Tyler going to work with Joziah of Tietram Media?” Theodore asked with a tone as cold as the winter wind.
