Chapter: 285

Theodore smiled lightly and retumed his gaze to the landlady. “Unfortunately, I’m married,” he replied

blissfully.

He raised his hand and showed the wedding ring on his finger.

Ariana was shocked. That wedding ring was a mere formality prepared by the Anderson family during

their wedding. She had put her ring on before, but when she found that Theodore had no intention of

wearing his after he regained consciousness, she hid it away silently.

She didn’t expect him to wear the ring now. In fact, she thought he had already thrown it away. ©

Was he plotting something with the ring? Or did he guess the landlady would introduce someone to

him, so he put it on to avoid trouble?

But that was impossible. How did Theodore find out where she lived? She had only been gone for less

than two days. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible to find her so quickly.

Or perhaps he was constantly monitoring her? But he had no reason to do so. Didn’t he have Helen?

There was no need for him to be worried about her.

While Ariana’s mind was in a mess, Theodore began to chat with the landlady again.

The landlady had an awkward smile and became embarrassed after she found out that Theodore was

married.

She apologized to him several times for not noticing the wedding ring on his finger sooner.

Meanwhile, Theodore kept up his act as a mild-tempered gentleman. He smiled and dismissed her

concerns. “It is okay. Don’t take it to heart. The dishes are getting cold. Let’s eat.”

There were ten dishes on the long dinner table, including the food brought by the landlady. It was so

much that even the three of them could not finish them all.

The landlady and Ariana sat on the same side, while Theodore sat opposite Ariana.

They exchanged occasional glances but immediately looked away as if nothing had happened. They

also avoided talking to one another.

Suddenly, Theodore, who had been chatting with the landlady, popped a question to Ariana. “Miss

Edwards, are the dishes not to your liking?”

Noticing that Ariana didn’t touch the food, the landlady paused her meal and looked at her in confusion.

“Ariana, why aren’t you eating? You just came home from work. You must be hungry. Come on, eat

something. The food cooked by Theodore’s housekeeper is delicious,” the landlady said in concern.

Ariana felt a little awkward by the company and wanted to find an excuse to leave.

However, the sight of the delicious food was indeed making her hungry.

Eventually, she decided there was no need to make things difficult for herself and picked up her cutlery.

Ariana’s appetite instantly improved during the meal as she found most of the dishes were her

favorites.
