Chapter: 373
The landlady agreed happily, "Okay, we'll take this opportunity to celebrate your moving in."
She pulled Ariana along to the dining room as she spoke.
Caught up in the spontaneity, Ariana had no choice but to stay.
As for the dinner "prepared" by Theodore's housekeeper, Ariana could tell from a glance that they were from a five-star restaurant. The foie gras on the table was one of the famous dishes from the Anderson Group's restaurant.
Ariana sulked as she sat quietly and listened to the conversation between the landlady and Theodore. She wanted neither to join in nor pick up the tableware.
Instead, she glanced around and noticed that the apartment was fitted with slopes for wheelchairs to move around conveniently. So this was why the apartment had to be renovated.
Just then, Ariana couldn't hold her tongue and said in spite, "Mr. Anderson, you seem to spend your money mindlessly. How long do you plan on staying? It's more convenient for you to live in your villa. Why did you have to renovate the entire apartment?"
Theodore poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Ariana as he replied with a smile, "The view is beautiful, and I feel my mood improve when I'm here."
He then turned to the landlady and joked, "Thank you for letting me renovate the apartment. If it weren't for the layout, I would have installed a private elevator."
The landlady was amused by Theodore's casual attitude and pleased by his politeness, making her more talkative.
Ariana rolled her eyes and thought that Theodore was really good at acting. It was a pity that he wasn't an actor.
When she was lost in thought, the landlady grabbed her hand and introduced her warmly to Theodore, "Theodore, you must be single since you're living alone, right? Ariana is single too. You can get to know each other."
Theodore smiled slightly as he looked at Ariana and mused, "Really? You are still single?"
Ariana felt a little guilty under Theodore's watchful gaze but stubbornly insisted, “Yes, what's wrong with that?”
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?
