Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence -
Chapter 721
Chapter: 721
“Was there anyone here a few days ago?” Ariana asked, staring at the Lights in the house too.
“I don’t think so, but I’m not sure.” The administrator scratched his head in bewilderment. “This place is
pretty desolate, so we rarely get any tenants. I don’t come by here very often, either. I’LL drop by to
arrange the cleaning once a month, and I won’t come here unless there’s business. To be honest,
you’re the first person who’s shown interest in renting this month.”
The administrator sounded quite pleased by this, but Ariana’s attention was still drawn to the house
where the lights had mysteriously turned on.
Without taking her eyes off the Lit house, she asked the administrator, “Do you know anything about
the owner of that house?”
“There used to be an elderly couple and their young daughter living there. The couple passed away in
an accident, and I think their relatives inherited the property. The little girl was taken away not long
after,” the administrator explained, continuing to show Ariana around the area.
Seeing that Ariana did not ask further about the house, he moved on.
The remaining Stone Houses the administrator showed her were all quite similar, and since she was
only staying for a short while, Ariana didn’t think too much about it and picked one not far from the
house with the small garden.
After she chose a house, she went inside. Entering the house, she noticed that the living room on the
ground floor was well-kept and clean, without a speck of dust in sight.
Ariana was convinced. She didn’t think twice and paid the deposit for the rent swiftly.
After the administrator left, satisfied with her purchase, she sat on the sofa in the Living room for a
while. Then she decided to rest.
But as soon as she went upstairs, she immediately regretted her decision.
She hadn*t checked any of the upstairs rooms earlier, which consisted of the bedrooms. Now, when
she treaded up the creaky stairs and pushed open the door to one of the bedrooms, a musty smell
greeted her
Ariana turned on the light switch, and the scene before her was worse than she could have imagined.
An enormous spiderweb clung to a corner of the room, and the moldy smell primarily came from the
bed, covered in stained and yellowed bedding and tousled in disarray, as if someone had rummaged
through it.
It was apparent the administrator’s claim of monthly cleaning was a complete Lie. No wonder he said
the neighborhood was desolate and that nobody rented his buildings. He wasn’t sincere about the
rented properties in the first place.
Ariana tried to convince herself that it was just a fixer-upper. She braced herself to get on the bed and
sleep, but the sight of the gross yellowing bedding made her want to run out the door and drive home
immediately.
She pulled out her phone and tried calling the administrator to demand an explanation, but he wasn’t
answering his phone.
Frustrated, Ariana jerked the yellow bedding off the mattress and angrily flung it on the floor. There was
no way she could sleep on that. She thought of wrapping herself in her clothes to keep warm through
the night, but the damp, musty smell emanating from the room made it difficult to stay in there, let alone
sleep. So, she cracked open the window to ventilate the room and stood by it, gazing out and enjoying
the view.
The view from the second floor was open and vast, stretching across plains under the clear sky, and
the small town’s scenery held a unique charm. A small creek trickled peacefully nearby, and the cool
breeze had a fresh scent that soothed her irritated mood.
Ariana gazed at the picturesque scenery, and inadvertently, her eyes were once again drawn to the
mysterious Stone House by the creek. She wondered which family member had returned to stay there
just as she arrived, too. It was quite a coincidence.
As she was Lost in her thoughts, she noticed the house’s door open, and a young man stepped out.
Ariana squinted slightly at the vaguely familiar figure in the distance. The figure was… Theodore!
“Theodore!” Without a second thought, Ariana called out to him.
Yet, the figure over there didn’t react. Maybe the distance was too far, or he hadn’t heard her.
As the figure started to fade, Ariana dashed out of the door, hurrying down the stairs towards the other
side.
