Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 364
“Don’t move,” Theodore warned in a hoarse voice, as though he couldn’t bear it anymore.
Ariana was alarmed to see a familiar intensity in his eyes.
Fearing another awkward situation, she quickly buried her head in his chest like a turtle and said in a muffled voice, “I won’t
move.”
Looking at her adorable face, Theodore couldn’t help but gently touch her hair and then her earlobe with his other hand, his heart
softening.
Though Ariana remained still, her heart raced wildly. She wanted to jump up, grab his hand, and bite it hard. But even the
slightest movement could cause Theodore to hug her tighter. ©
Feeling frustrated, she bit her lip, growing increasingly perplexed by Theodore’s ambiguous attitude toward her.
She would have preferred a clear answer to his ambiguous attitude.
Just as Ariana’s patience wore thin and she was about to ask, Theodore finally leaned gently to the side, allowing her to slide
next to him and lifting a corner of the quilt to cover them both.
His arm was still around Ariana’s body through the quilt as he cuddled her. He rubbed his chin against her hair and said, “Go to
sleep.”
She felt really uncomfortable. How could she sleep when they were so close to each other?

It might be better to return to her own bed. If she was lucky, the roach would have left the room by now.
As if sensing her thoughts, Theodore whispered in her ear, “Did you hear something?”
Subconsciously, Ariana rubbed her itchy ears and held her breath. He was right!
The rustling sound returned—the roach was back! ©
At that moment, she didn’t dare to think of anything else. She nestled in Theodore’s arms, pressing her nose against his neck.
She wished she could cling to him as closely as possible.
The next morning, Ariana awoke in a haze. Her eyes were still closed as she rubbed her face against something under her head,
still half-asleep.
Upon opening her eyes and finding a strikingly handsome face close to hers, she froze momentarily before regaining her
composure.
Embarrassment washed over her as she recalled the previous night’s events. She couldn’t remember exactly when she had
drifted off, but it had been the most restful sleep she’d had in a while.
A sliver of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow on Theodore’s face and illuminating his long eyelashes.
This was her first opportunity to study Theodore’s features at such proximity. She found herself entranced. Usually so aloof and
haughty, he appeared unexpectedly gentle and vulnerable in slumber.
Ariana longed to brush his eyebrows with her fingertips, but fearing she might wake him, she refrained.

Carefully extricating herself from Theodore’s embrace, she sat up and slowly moved to the edge of the bed, intending to get her
phone to check the time.
