Chapter: 283
“Well, don’t worry about cooking. It is just a short greeting You can finish your cooking after you come back. That young man has
finally arrived. You might not have a chance to introduce yourselves once you two become busy,” the landlady insisted.
She grabbed Ariana’s hand and attempted to pull her out. She was strong and could drag Ariana to the corridor effortlessly.
Ariana couldn’t stop the landlady even if she wanted to.
At last, she had no choice and agreed to meet the new neighbor.
She only agreed to the meeting because they would be neighbors in the future. If they were to meet any troubles, they could
assist each other.
Ariana tumed off her stove before helping the landlady carry the pizza and followed her reluctantly to the door of the unit across
the hall.
The landlady rang the doorbell, and many minutes passed without a response.
“Please be patient. This young man has a little difficulty walking,” the landlady assured Ariana.
Ariana wasn’t overthinking it at first. However, alarms started going off in her heart when she heard the familiar sound of the
wheels from inside. She prepared herself for the worst that could happen.
She had wanted to escape when the door opened, and a handsome face she was fully acquainted with came into sight.
“Why are you here?” Ariana cried uncontrollably as she gazed at Theodore in shock.
The landlady darted her eyes between the two, and she asked in surprise, “You knew each other?”
“No.”
“Yes,”
Both Ariana and Theodore sounded at the same time, and the atmosphere became awkward.
The landlady frowned in confusion and repeated her question. “So do you know each other or not?”
Ariana still wanted to deny her association with Theodore, but when she saw the playful shine in Theodore’s eyes, she turned
her head away stubbornly and remained silent.
Theodore coughed gently and said, “We met once.”
The confusion on the landlady’s face immediately dissipated, and she smiled brightly. “That’s great. It must be fate for you to be
neighbors.”
She gestured at the pizza in Ariana’s hand and explained, “Both of you happen to move in around the same time. So I’ve
prepared some pizza as a housewarming gift for the both of you.”
Theodore thanked her politely and behaved like an absolute gentleman. Then, he pushed his wheelchair a little to the side and
asked the landlady sheepishly, “Can you help me bring it into the kitchen? I’m having a tough time with my legs.”
“Of course,” the landlady replied cheerily as she ushered Ariana into the room.
