Chapter: 52

Her heart was lodged firmly in her throat as she knocked on the door. She pushed the door open after

Theodore responded.

She got in and was even more confused to find him lying awake on his bed in the dimly lit room.

“What’s up? Why are you awake at this time? Do you feel any discomfort?”

Instead of answering her question, Theodore lifted the quilt.

Alina, who Ariana had been looking everywhere for, was curled up right next to Theodore. She was

holding his arm tightly.

“Didn’t you say that she wouldn’t disturb me? How come you didn’t even notice when she left your

room?” Theodore’s eyebrows knitted, and impatience was written all over his face.

“Ermm. 1, was fast asleep. It seems she’s frightened by the thunder” Ariana smiled apologetically.

“Don’t be mad. I’ll take her away.”

“Be quick about it!”

Theodore didn’t move a muscle. He just stared at Ariana as if he was about to flare up.

Ariana quickly bent over to pick up the child.

Much to their surprise, Alina held on to Theodore’s sleeve and refused to let go.

“Sweetie, you can’t sleep here. Let’s go back to my room, okay?” Ariana crooned softly, trying to loosen

Alina’s grip.

Alina sobbed with her eyes closed. She grabbed Theodore’s sleeve with her other hand and struggled

with all her might.

Ariana felt sorry for her, but she had to break the girl’s grip.

Suddenly, Alina burst into tears and her face turned red. She grabbed hold of Theodore’s arm tightly

with both hands.

Theodore tried to get rid of her grip, but Alina’s cry grew louder.

“I’ll take her away right now!”

Ariana pulled the little girl away. She used so much strength that it ripped Theodore’s silk robe open.

His beautiful collarbone and hard chest came into view.

Theodore froze for a second.

Ariana gasped and looked away, her face turning red.

“Damn it! She drooled on my clothes. What’s all this?” Theodore angrily cursed as soon as he regained

his composure.

Ariana took a quick look at his robe, and saw that there was a damp splotch.

She coughed and tried to fasten his robe back.
