In a gentle move to halt her anger, Theodore pulled her into a kiss, coaxing, “Alright, no more anger."

The kiss served to pacify Ariana, and just as they pulled away, the credits rolled on the movie. Yawning, she pulled Theodore closer.

"Will you tuck me in tonight?"

Theodore, looking at Ariana in his arms, chuckled, "Would you prefer a bedtime story instead?"

“Alright,” Ariana blushed slightly at his offer and responded in a Low voice, "I suppose our babies could Listen too."

“Sounds perfect," Theodore replied, a tender smile on his face.

With a tender kiss on her forehead, Theodore began to weave a story for Ariana. It didn't take long for her to drift into a peaceful sleep, comforted by his presence.

Once she was asleep, Theodore slipped out of the ward quietly.

Waiting outside, Horace approached him with good news.

"The problem has been resolved. The operation was a great success."

Theodore acknowledged this with a nod.

"Let's go and check.”

While waiting for the elevator, Theodore casually asked, "Is ‘Deep

Burial’ well-received?"

Horace, adjusting his glasses with an air of impartiality, replied, "The audience seems to enjoy it. It's been performing well in the market."

“It's nothing but plagiarism," Theodore scoffed dismissively.

"Dig up some information on this Edgar."

“Certainly, sir," Horace acquiesced, before questioning the sudden interest.

"May I ask why we are investigating him?"

“He upset her," Theodore said simply.
