“How is that possible?” Theodore gave her a faint smile and asked, “Do you need my help?”

“Stay out of this. I can deal with it myself!” Ariana shot back with defiance. She then walked up to him

and reached out to grab the teacup in his hand. “Get out. I have to go to bed.”

To her surprise, Theodore was much stronger than she thought. He did a slight move that caused her

to slip and fall forward instead of taking the cup away.

A steady and firm hand grabbed her arm and lifted her before her face hit the floor.

“Whew! Thanks…” Shaken up, Ariana thanked him. She then stared at him in awe. How could a

paralyzed man be so strong that he was able to catch and lift her?

She was a grown woman. Lifting her wasn’t an easy task even though she didn’t weigh much. How did

he do that with one hand?

Ariana’s mind went back to the altercation she had with those women and the rumors that were making

rounds. It was said that Theodore was paralyzed and could die any moment from now. But that didn’t

seem to be the case now. This man was very energetic!

At the thought of this, Ariana’s eyes traveled to Theodore’s legs.

His legs looked sturdy. There were muscles on them and they were well-proportioned, unlike the

shrunken and weakly legs of other paralyzed people.

Ariana was still not standing upright. So, as she was lost in thought, her hand unconsciously fell on his

massive thigh.

Paralyzed people usually had stiff thighs. However, Theodore’s was supple.

Ariana even squeezed a little. She swore that she could actually feel the strength in his muscle.

“What are you doing?” Theodore’s voice rang out, fraught with desire and arousal.

Ariana came to her senses. She looked up and met a pair of dark and beautiful eyes.

Only then did she realize that she was too close to him. Their noses were almost touching. They could

feel each other’s breath. If either of them moved an inch forward, their lips might press against each

other. As they held that gaze, a sensual energy crackled between them.

Ariana withdrew her hand in a hurry. She forgot that she hadn’t gotten her balance back yet. She

slipped again and fell headfirst into his arms.

Theodore grunted as he caught her shoulders with both hands. He queried playfully, “Why are you in

such a hurry to throw yourself at me?”

Ariana’s face flushed with embarrassment. She jumped to her feet and backed away. She noticed his

eyes lingering on her body.

Following the line of his vision, Ariana’s eyes fell on her chest. She found that her cleavage was

showing through the bathrobe she had on. A wet wisp of her hair was stuck on it, accentuating the

allurement of her fair complexion.

“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.
