"Helen, in the future you have to be good. Ariana is my wife, and the hostess of this house. I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again."

After saying this, Theodore turned off the bedside lamp, turned around, and left.

Once he was gone, Helen opened her eyes, and it was obvious she was furious. She pounded on the bed.

"I can't believe that Theodore has fallen in love with that bitch.

No, I won't allow this!"

It seemed that Ariana and Theodore were now giving each other the silent treatment. She was packing her luggage in her room, cursing to herself.

When her mind thought of Helen, she felt disgusted, and didn't want to do anything.

Looking at all the things she hadn't packed yet, she was so frustrated. She gave up and lay on the bed.

Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Holden. They hadn't been in touch for many days.

She clicked on the message and saw a cute cat emoji.

Ariana couldn't help but laugh at how childish he was. He always liked to send cute emojis that didn't really fit his image.

She replied with a confused emoji.

Holden's reply came immediately.

"Are you free tomorrow night? How about we have dinner together?"

Without hesitating, Ariana refused. She didn't want to have too much contact with him in private. She could have an occasional chat with him on the social media to comfort him.

After a few minutes, Holden sent an emoji of a crying cat.

"It's my birthday tomorrow. You really won't have dinner with me?"

Ariana didn't know how to reply to this.

Holden sent a few more messages.

“I think of you as a friend, so I wanted to invite you to dinner."
