"Pervert!" Ariana screamed, covering her chest with both hands. Theodore scoffed.

"Huh? What makes me a pervert? Need I remind you that I'm your husband? Even though I'm currently unable to walk, my third leg is still working fine. Since you can touch my thigh, why can't I look at your cleavage..."

"You..." Ariana didn't expect him to be so impudent.

“I'm not a child, Ariana. I know for a fact that you just tried to seduce me."

Theodore glanced at the woman's exposed skin, his eyes as clear and innocent as a gentleman's eyes could be. However, his slightly hoarse voice betrayed him. His mind was already in the gutter.

Ariana didn't notice this.

She was so mad and ashamed that her cheeks were burning up. She faltered, "It... It's not what you think. I just wanted to check your leg. Your doctor said that if you receive physiotherapy regularly, you have a greater chance of walking soon. But I haven't seen you receiving any physiotherapy since you regained consciousness."

Theodore fell silent. He stared at Ariana with inquiring eyes for a few seconds.

"Why do you care? Do you feel ashamed because you are married to a paralyzed man?"

Ariana frowned.

“Don't put words in my mouth, Theodore. That wasn't what I meant. I just think that if you want to get better, you have to follow the doctor's advice."

"You are right." Theodore Looked away and changed the topic.

"If you don't want to talk to me about your work, you can write it down.”

“What do you mean?" Ariana's heart sank as a dreadful thought occurred to her.

“Write a daily report of your work. I need to see it before midnight," Theodore said Lightly.

Ariana laughed out of anger.

"You have got to be kidding me. I can't"

“It's an order!" Theodore spat, his face turning cold just as she was about to refuse. There was an air of determination about him that seemed to brook no refusal.

Without another word, he left the room hastily. It was almost as if he was running away from her.

Ariana was stunned. Did this man see her as one of his subordinates? Why did she have to report to him?
