Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence
Chapter 287

Chapter: 287

The guilt that had previously weighed on her was now replaced with a sneer. “Are you seriously

concerned about your wife’s homecoming or her affection toward you? I bet you’re living it up all alone;

your face is glowing. You must be so popular that you have countless people taking care of you.”

Despite her effort to conceal her jealousy, Ariana’s voice betrayed her true feelings, and the sharp

landlady picked up on it.

With furrowed brows, the landlady carefully observed the pair, sensing that there was more than met

the eye.

Theodore, however, put on a fake smile and tried to brush it off. “I don’t want my wife to worry about

me, so I pretend to be okay.”

Ariana seethed with anger, thinking to herself how shameless he was acting, fooling everyone around

him with his facade of perfection.

A tense silence lingered among the trio, as Ariana purposely ignored Theodore’s words, refusing to

engage in any further conversation with him.

The landlady intervened in a soothing voice. “It’s not a big deal,” she said, urging Theodore to consider

that perhaps there was some misunderstanding between him and his wife and that communication was

the key to a healthy marriage. “Marriage is run by both sides. It’s not that complicated, and not that

simple, either. You have to be patient.”

But then Theodore’s piercing gaze landed on Ariana, and he asked a provocative question. “What if my

wife wants a divorce?” he demanded.

Ariana was stunned and blurted out, “What do you mean?”

Her heart skipped a beat, and the panic on her face was impossible to hide.

Had he found out the divorce agreement she prepared? She couldn’t help but wonder.

The landlady seemed to share her concern as she knitted her eyebrows together in distress. “Is it so

serious that you have to divorce?” she asked. “In that case, what do you think about it?”

Theodore hesitated before answering, “As I said, I have no intention of divorce for the time being.”

But the landlady was not convinced. “You can divorce her if you want. What do you mean ‘for the time

being’? In my opinion, you are just being stubborn and that’s why your wife feels disappointed with

you.”

Theodore was left speechless, unsure of how to defend himself.

However, Ariana felt righteous indignation bubbling up inside her. She spoke up in support. “I agree. It’s

not rocket science. It’s your fault, just admit it,” she said with asmug smile.

Theodore massaged his temples with a heavy sigh, hoping to ease the mounting tension in his head.

He was just about to put an end to the discussion when the landlady’s unexpected question struck him

like a bolt from the blue. “Do you still love her?” she asked with a concemed expression.

Theodore’s heart pounded against his chest. He slowly raised his head and met Ariana’s eyes. He saw

a trace of expectation in her eyes. It was as if she was hoping for a positive response.

Asilence descended upon the group. Ariana’s heart was pounding in her chest. She anticipated what

he would say, but at the same time, she dreaded hearing the answer that would break her heart.

The landlady’s impatience began to show as she pressed Theodore to answer the question.

“What’s wrong? Is it difficult to answer this question?” she prodded. “If you love her, just express it.

How could she know if you don’t tell her?”
