âWeâre a couple, arenât we? It isnât convenient for us to be separated like this,â he added.
Ariana kept silent for a while and eventually said, âBut this relationship makes me feel unreal.
I feel like Iâm in a dream.
â
The room fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of each otherâs breath.
Ariana grabbed Theodoreâs sleeve uneasily and turned around to look into his deep eyes.
âYou know, this marriage began very casually.
I completed the wedding alone, and even the wedding photo was edited haphazardly.
We canât tell anyone about our marriage; itâs like having an extramarital affair.
â
She bit her lower lip awkwardly as she added, âIâve never really enjoyed the feeling of being in love in this relationship.

Although part of the reason why she didnât want to live with him yet and be a real couple with him was because of the baby, Arianaâs words held true feelings.
She hoped that they could have a clear beginning and process, instead of this uncertain beginning.

Ariana admitted that she didnât fully trust Theodore, especially after what happened with Helen.
Even though Theodore explained that Helen was just like a sister to him, Helen didnât seem to think so.
And Theodoreâs special attitude toward Helen couldnât be fake.
If the port didnât exclusively belong to her, Ariana would rather give it up.

She knew she might be overthinking, and she also knew that, deep down, her possessiveness and jealousy were the reasons behind that thought.
No woman liked to see her beloved being close with other women.
Besides, she didnât have the chance to experience being pursued by Theodore and dating him, yet they were already married.
It made her feel like something was missing, and she couldnât reconcile herself to it.

Ariana struggled to find the right words to describe her feelings.
She wondered if she was being too sentimental.
She wanted to say more, but Theodore seemed to understand her thoughts and said, âT understand.
â
Understand? She hadnât even said anything yet!
Ariana looked at him uneasily and asked, âWhat do you understand?â
Theodore held her shoulders and looked at her with a serious expression.
âAriana,â he said.
Ariana turned to face him.
âWhat?â
âStarting tomorrow, I will officially pursue you.
I will give you the grand love that you deserve.
â
What?
Ariana was left speechless.
The next day, the sun shone brightly.
