Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter 49

“You are back,” Ariana commented casually and returned her attention to Alina. She tried to feed her

the orange.

Theodore nodded and said, “We should get going now.”

“Please can I bring Alina along? I have to take care of her for tonight. She will stay with us just for one

night. Sarah’s mother will pick her up tomorrow morning.” Ariana pleaded with him.

“Suit yourself. Just make sure she doesn’t disturb me when we are at home,” Theodore said flatly.

“She won’t. Alina is a good girl.” Ariana smiled and touched Alina’s head. After hesitating for a moment,

she asked casually, “By the way, who was that girl?”

“Did you just ask me that?” Theodore’s face darkened immediately. He uttered seriously. “Mind your

business, Ariana. Don’t ask me such a question ever again.”

A gloom fell on Ariana’s face as soon as she got this warning. Embarrassed, she pursed her lips and

thought of what to say to him. But for some reason, an inexplicable sense of anger was welling up in

her heart

Although she couldn’t find the right words to say, she was certain that he wouldn’t believe her no matter

what. He would definitely think she was prying into his business and scheming something.

Ariana sealed her lips and got up to pack her stuff.

The ride home was utterly silent. It wasn’t until the car parked in front of the Anderson family’s

residence that Theodore broke the silence.

“What do you intend to do about Sarah now?”

“It’s none of your business,” Ariana replied coldly, glancing at him for a second.

She then picked up Alina and tried to open the door of the car.

Those words hit a sore spot for Theodore. Hist eyes were aflame. He locked the door and uttered, “Did

I say you could leave? I’m not done talking!”

She had walked out on him twice before. He couldn’t let that happen again. The nerve of this woman!

Theodore restrained his anger and said as calmly as he could, “Stubbornness and secrecy will get you

nowhere. You can’t handle it on your own. Remember I said I could help as long as you-“

“And I said no! I don’t need your help!”

Ariana cut him off. She looked into his deep eyes. “There’s one thing I’d like to make clear now. I’m the

one doing you a favor, not the other way around. You gave me this job because you wanted to defeat

your half-brother. You should be the one begging me. I can pull the plug on this shit if you provoke me!”

“Is that a threat, Ariana?” Theodore’s eyes narrowed to slits as his tone became very dangerous.

“Er… No, it’s not a threat.” Ariana’s heart skipped a beat. She was scared, but she tried not to show it.

She raised her chin and added, “It’s just a reminder. We are partners. I will do my part while you do

yours. I can handle it. You just wait and see! Open the door, Horace!”

Horace, who was still behind the wheel, flinched and quickly unlocked the door.

Ariana snorted and got out of the car with Alina in her arms.
