Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 166
The room was very warm and cozy, with a pleasant smell of incense floating in the air.
Ariana lingered awkwardly. She seemed a little flustered when her eyes trailed to the big bed in front of her.
“You’re not fussy about the bed, are you?” Theodore teased as her face turned crimson. “After all, we did sleep together once
before. You slept like a log that night.”
Theodore was referring to the night when Alina ran into his room.
Angry and embarrassed that he suddenly brought up the memory of that night, Ariana lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
She refused to give him any response.
Theodore decided to stop teasing her, but the corners of his lips curved into a soft smile.
“I’m going to go wash. Do as you please.” He picked his pajamas off the sofa and made his way to the bathroom. Suddenly, he
stopped midway as if he remembered something and turned his head to her. “Rest assured, I have no interest in you. I’m just
doing you a favor out of the kindness of my heart. You can stay here until your room is fixed.” @
Ariana didn’t reply, keeping her eyes planted on the floor.
After he got into the bathroom and shut the door behind him, she exhaled the breath she was holding and rubbed her hot cheeks
in exasperation.
He was right. It wasn’t the first time they shared a bed. What was there to be nervous about?

Anyway, it was just for one night. She could close her eyes and pretend he didn’t exist. Time passed quickly when one was
sleeping. It would be morning in no time.
Ariana tried to cheer herself up. She took a deep breath and climbed into the bed, covering herself with the quilt and pulling it
over her head.
She found herself rubbing her cheek against the quilt. There was a familiar smell coming from it. It made her feel at ease for
some reason.
She tried to relax and clear her mind. She was hoping to fall asleep before Theodore came back out and got into bed. She didn’t
want to talk to him.
But after a long time, no matter how hard she tried, she was still wide awake and staring at the ceiling.
The click of the doorknob turning and the door swinging open sounded from the bathroom. She quickly yanked the quilt over her
head, turned over, and shut her eyes, pretending to be fast asleep.
The sound of the rolling wheels of the wheelchair was getting closer and closer. She held her breath, trying to calm herself down,
Her heart was pounding against her chest like a war drum.
When Theodore came out, only a dim bedside lamp was on and everything else was shrouded in darkness. @
One side of the bed bulged slightly, the quilt revealing only tufts of her hair. The bulge rose and sunk slightly with her breathing,
but she made no sound.
Was she asleep?

Theodore raised his finger to his chin thoughtfully. After a few seconds of silence, he maneuvered his wheelchair toward the bed
and reached for the lamp. He was about to turn off the bedside lamp when he saw her trembling eyelashes from the corner of his
eye.
Theodore’s lips curved, but he remained quiet and turned off the light.
The hotel bed was very soft. Ariana could feel the other side of the bed sink slightly with weight when Theodore carefully got into
the bed.
She willed herself to stay still for a long time, even though her mind was a frantic mess. It was so quiet, and she could hear him
breathing.
