Chapter: 496
Theodore was stunned. He had prepared this for a long time and now, he would never be able to speak
out his feelings as he’d intended. He was feeling kind of disappointed.
Why did this woman have to be so smart?
Ariana’s eyelids fluttered mischievously and she said with a smile, “It seems that I’m right. Indeed, all
these do seem to be your style, Mr. Anderson!”
“What is my style then?” Theodore asked curiously.
“probably…” Ariana pretended to think. Finally, her eyes lit up as if she was suddenly enlightened and
she said, “You’re more of an old man style, rustic and old-fashioned!”
Theodore’s face darkened immediately upon hearing that. Seeing this, Ariana quickly added, “That’s
not me saying it. Your over-the-top romantic gesture today caused gossip about me to spread
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthroughout the company. According to people, I’m probably the mistress of an old man.”
Theodore frowned upon hearing that. Who dared to say such mean words to Ariana? He was about to
ask a few more questions when the waitress came over with the menu. He ultimately decided to forget
that for the time being. He’d inquire more about it when they gothome. ©
Ariana didn’t notice Theodore’s change in mood. She flipped through the menu innocently and asked,
“Mr. Anderson, quick quiz. What do | like to eat?”
Theodore didn’t hesitate for a second and answered quickly. Of course, his answer was correct. He
looked at her with an air that seemed to expect praise. Seeing this, Ariana couldn’t help but think of her
landlady’s big dog. Whenever it wanted a reward, it had those same shining eyes that Theodore had
right now.
Ariana had a hard time holding back her laughter. She did her best to stay calm and said jokingly, “It
seems that Mr. Anderson is really serious about winning my heart.”
Theodore coughed awkwardly. He felt a bit shy. He stayed up late last night preparing for all this.
Ariana’s positive comment made him feel that his efforts were worth it.
Ariana smiled and turned to the waitress. She ordered several dishes, but none of them were what
Theodore had just said.
Theodore was stunned and didn’t know what to say. Ariana casually took a sip of water and said slowly,
“I guess Mr. Anderson would enjoy these dishes.”
Theodore was slightly taken aback.
In fact, he was not a picky eater. He never showed his preferences when eating out for fear someone
would use it against him. He was thus stunned to see that Ariana still knew what his favorite dishes
were. Those were the dishes she ordered for him.
The food was served soon. Ariana was about to start eating when a waiter came over with a delicate
cake. It wasn’t among the dishes she had ordered.

don’t want to choke to death.”
“How did you figure it out?” Theodore asked with confusion.
Ariana put the knife and fork down and said sincerely, “Because your way of showing me your love is
very similar to scenes from a I know.”
The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds and then said in one voice, “Things You Do
for True Love!” ©
When the two uttered the name of the book at the same time, a rare look of embarrassment appeared
on Theodore’s charming face.
Ariana felt a bit helpless and said, “I should have thought of that from the love gesture with drones. I
know the pickup routine well. But why did you choose this book anyway? The main character is very
arrogant at first considering the unacceptable way he treats the woman he loves, and then ends up
quite miserable.”
