Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence
Chapter 1178

On the other end of the line, Holden expressed gentle concern, feigning ignorance, and inquired, “How did you sustain your injury? Who did it?” Ariana provided a succinct and matter-of-fact account, addressing each question with precision.

Nevertheless, the person on the other end of the line remained steadfast in his role as a concerned husband, causing Ariana’s cheeks to flush with embarrassment and shyness.

Noticing Ariana’s blushing countenance, Melon grew immediately concerned and urgently asked, “Mommy, why are you blushing? Are you running a fever? Should I call the doctor?” For a protracted, uneasy moment, Holden, on the opposite end of the phone, lapsed into silence, a pause that Ariana also endured.

Ariana’s countenance blushed a deep crimson, her inner turmoil palpable. How could Melon lay bare her vulnerabilities in such a manner, casting a shadow over her reputation? In an effort to end the embarrassment, Ariana engaged in a few more strained pleasantries before deliberately releasing an exaggerated yawn.

“Oh, my, I'm quite fatigued. It's high tI retired for the night. We'll chat again soon!” Without waiting for a response, she swiftly ended the call.

Immediately upon disconnecting, Ariana flung the phone aside as if it had scalded her, cradling her head in her hands. Her silent scream resonated with the weight of her shame.

“But Mommy, I thought you were sleepy? Why are you watching TV now?” Ariana snapped. Seizing the boy roughly, she sank her teeth into his soft, pale cheek in a vicious nip.

“Not another word from you, starting this very moment!” she threatened.

Melon, perplexed by his mother’s wrath, looked pitiful but dared not defy her dominance.

Meanwhile, Holden couldn't stifle a chuckle once the line fell silent.

Alongside his laughter, an intense yearning to meet Ariana in person surged within him.

The realization jolted him. She had thoroughly enchanted him.

When Shawn entered, he discovered Holden beaming more brightly than he had in quite stime, feeling Intrigued.
