But Ariana could see the cruelty behind his composure.

From an outside look, the Anderson family was an affluent and prestigious family without many flaws. But, in reality, the family was rotten to the core. Many of its members have attempted to undermine Theodore and seize power for themselves no matter what it took.

To put it bluntly, when Theodore became a disabled man, the most delighted by the news were likely Darian and Jasper.

Did Theodore not care about all of that?

As Ariana gazed at him in silence, a gloominess came over her. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

There was a knock on the door, and the restaurant manager entered with some new folded clothes in his hands.

Theodore took the clothes and maneuvered his wheelchair to the restroom. Ariana hesitated for a moment before standing up and following him.

However, she had only taken a few steps when Theodore suddenly stopped and turned his wheelchair slightly to look at her. He raised his eyebrows and asked incredulously, "What? Do you want to change my pants for me?"

A blush appeared on Ariana's face and she halted, flustered. She spluttered, “What are you talking about? I'm just worried that you'll fall because of your legs.”

Theodore chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. I can manage."

Then he turned back around and went to the restroom to change.

Ariana lingered a little longer in the private room for him, but soon she felt hot and stuffy. She decided to wait outside and get some fresh air.

However, the moment she took a step out of the private room, Jasper appeared out of nowhere. He yanked Ariana by the wrist and shoved her against the wall. She Let out a yelp in surprise and struggled, but he held her firm and hissed, “Have you fallen in love with Theodore?"

She could feel his hot breath on her face, and her nose was hit by the strong smell of alcohol. Ariana struggled desperately from his grasp.

“Are you crazy? Let go of me!”

How much did this coward have to drink? She could tell he had drunk without any consideration. It didn't help that he went crazy when he was intoxicated.

Ariana gritted her teeth. Furious, she lifted her leg and kicked him, snarling, "I said let go of me! I'm your sister-in-law!"

But it had no effect. Jasper pressed on her to stay still forcefully His eyes looked wild and unfocused as he mumbled, “Tell me the truth. Do you love Theodore? Why are you out with him on Valentine's Day? And why did you look so worried when I scalded Theodore just now? Don't tell me you feel bad for him."

Ariana was enraged, but she couldn't help but let out a bitter Laugh. Jasper's behavior was so absurd to her that she couldn't even bother explaining. She gave in and followed his accusations.

“Oh, yes, I've fallen deeply for Theodore. But what else did you expect? He's far more handsome, considerate, and exceptional than you could ever hope to be. He's nowhere near as despicable as you.”
