After a short pause, she pulled open the collar of his robe again.

“Then let it stay this way. It'll dry faster."

Theodore didn't know what to say. His face fell.

Ariana took a piece of tissue from the bedside table to wipe the supposed saliva. A few seconds Later, she muttered, "This isn't saliva, but tears. It will dry in no time. Just wear it like that for the rest of the night, okay?"

“That's not the main issue here. How can I sleep like this?" Theodore uttered in a gloomy tone and looked at the kid who was holding his arm tightly again.

Alina was no Longer weeping. She only sobbed and sniffed from time to time.

Ariana suddenly sneezed, and her head began to ache. Although the heating was on in this room, she was freezing because she was wearing only a silk nightdress. She sneezed over and over again

This irritated Theodore greatly. He stared at his wife, who was trembling and pursed his lips.

"Sorry about..." Just as Ariana sniffed and began to say something, he scooted to the side to make room for her.

“Get under the quilt and make her sleep before you take her away. I can't handle any more of her sobbing," Theodore said flatly.

Ariana zoned out with her eyes fixed on his handsome face.

“Hurry up! If you keep dawdling, I'LL throw you two out together."

Theodore frowned. His patience was running thin

Ariana came back to her senses. She lifted the quilt and Lay down carefully. A comforting warmth enveloped her as soon as she was tucked in.

The sudden warmth made Ariana sleepy. She pressed her head into the pillow, breathing deeply. A pleasant scent filled her nostrils.

Ariana wondered if her bed felt cold to Alina, so the little girl looked for something warmer and accidentally came to Theodore's room.

Ariana was silent for a while. Theodore glanced over to her to see her eyes were drooping.

“If you dare fall asleep first, I'll throw you out," he said coldly.

Ariana grumbled into the pillow, "I know what I am doing. Why are you so angry?"

He was being difficult and cold-hearted for no apparent reason. She adjusted herself and started patting Alina's back, trying to comfort her to sleep.
