Ariana thought her act was good. However, her breathing betrayed her. She held her breath for a long time until she heard his wheelchair roll away.
Theodore maneuvered the wheelchair to the opposite side of the bed, attempting to lift up the quilt, but it was wrapped beneath Ariana.
Observing her feigned slumber, he sighed in exasperation. “How am I supposed to sleep if you’re like this?”
Without opening her eyes, Ariana extended a finger from beneath the quilt and pointed at the other bed, indicating that he should sleep over there.
Theodore nearly burst into laughter. He leaned over, pinched her cheek, and said dotingly, “You want me to sleep on the bed that a roach had crawled over?”
That was exactly what Ariana meant. Not wanting to engage in conversation, she continued pretending to be asleep.
“T understand.”
The sound of rustling fabric reached her ears, and she felt Theodore’s hand leave her face. ©
Then, the light was turned off.
Ariana was secretly happy. She knew he would compromise; it turned out she knew him well.

However, before she could bask in her delight, she felt someone lie down next to her; his manly scent wafting into her nose.
To her surprise, Theodore actually lay down next to her.
Then there was a moment of silence. He made no attempt to move once he was on the bed.
Had he fallen asleep already? How could he sleep without a blanket? She was about to open her eyes secretly.
The next second, Ariana was lifted up by Theodore. ©
“What are you doing?” she exclaimed.
As she lay in Theodore’s arms, she felt like his arms were like shackles, rendering her unable to move.
Uncertain whether it was due to shyness or having spent too long beneath the quilt, Ariana’s face was red. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Theodore’s face.
They were very close to each other, and their noses were about to touch each other.
The atmosphere was intimate.
His eyes were full of tenderness. He gazed into Ariana’s eyes, making her blush even more.
“Let me go,” she muttered and tried to squirm free.
