Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 719
The shop owner glanced over at the neighboring store and replied, “That shop? It’s been closed for business for quite a while
now.”
Right after saying this, her face seemed to brighten with recollection, and she sighed, “Its owner, Lilyana Rayne, had remarkable
skills, but it’s a shame this place is so remote. Running a business here is already challenging, and handmade clothing like
Lilyana’s, which lacks the appeal of big-name brands, doesn’t attract young people. The costs involved make it almost
impossible to sustain the business in this Location.”
Listening attentively to her Lament, Ariana realized that Lilyana must be the owner of the closed shop, and the woman in front of
her knew Lilyana. Seizing the opportunity, she quickly inquired, “Could you tell me where Lilyana resides?”
Hearing Ariana’s request, the woman scrutinized her with a mix of suspicion and caution. “Why do you want to know the old
lady’s address?” she asked warily.
Ariana swiftly comprehended the misunderstanding and hastened to explain, “I happened to come across a gorgeous dress
someone bought from here online, and I’m interested in having one custom-made as well.”
The woman appeared slightly reassured and nodded. “Alright, you seem like a nice young Lady, not someone with ill intentions.
However, I’m afraid I can’t assist you.”
“Why not?” Ariana pondered as she stood in the quaint little shop, her gaze fixed on the woman. Thinking that the woman still
had doubts about her, she was ready to present the evidence from the blog post that would justify this air of mistrust. “I simply
desire a custom-made skirt.”

However, the woman merely shook her head, a melancholic expression etched on her face. “It’s not that I lack faith in your
words,” she began, her voice carrying a tinge of sympathy. “Lilyana, the skilled seamstress, used to reside at 101 Stone House,
adjacent to South Park. However, she relocated to the bustling city with her children last year. I am unaware of her current
address or contact information.”
“Oh... I see. Thank you,” Ariana replied, a tinge of disappointment evident in her voice. Yet, she was determined not to surrender
so easily to this setback.
Perhaps a visit to the Stone House would be worth a try? Ariana pondered.
What if she happened to meet Lilyana there?
With newfound hope flickering within, Ariana set forth on her journey towards the Stone House, her steps carrying a mix of
anticipation and uncertainty.
As she took only a few strides, Ariana was startled by the woman’s hushed murmurs that reached her ears.
“It seems there are quite a few people who appreciate Lilyana’s skills. This is already the second person who’s come asking.
Why couldn‘t she keep the shop going? After all, it was doing well.”
Intrigued, Ariana halted her progress, turned around, and inquired, “Pardon me, but did you just mention someone else looking
for Lilyana recently?”
Ariana was both serious and anxious, which somewhat confused the woman.
After thinking for a while, the woman stammered, “Yes, yes, he was a quite handsome young man.”

“Was he about this tall?” Ariana leveled her hand to Theodore’s approximate height. The woman thought for a while and then
nodded in agreement.
Ariana gave more details to the woman to be sure it was indeed the same person, and the more the woman nodded, the more
Ariana was convinced that it was indeed Theodore.
But even so, she was still uncertain. She was worried that her excitement was premature, and that she would be even more
disappointed in the end if it wasn’t him.
She eventually thought of showing the woman a photo of Theodore, but then she realized that she had very few photos of
Theodore in her phone.
Heaving a deep sigh, Ariana gave up on the idea and just asked the woman, “Do you know where that man went afterward?”
The woman shook her head. “How would I know? He seemed to be from another city and he came last week. I haven’t seen him
since, so he probably left the town.”
A week ago... Ariana roughly calculated the time and felt more certain that the person the woman was talking about was indeed
Theodore.
It reassured her that she hadn’t come all the way here for nothing.
