In an instant, the atmosphere in the car became as cold as ice again.
A quick glance from Theodore sent chills all over Horaceâs body and the latter immediately turned off the music.
Now, the car fell into an awkward silence again.
Ariana coughed to hold back her laughter and said in a soft voice, âYou know, Sarah had to go out of town to perform.
Thatâs why I have to keep Alina.
In the past, it was sarahâs mother who always took care of Alina.
But in the end, an emergency situation arose and Sarahâs mother had no other choice but to entrust the child to me.
â
Theodore didnât even look at Ariana.
He looked down, his long lashes effectively hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Ariana wasnât sure if he was listening or not.
She knew he was upset though, so she softened her voice and persuaded him, âWe just couldnât leave Alina home alone.
I canât refuse to help Sarahâs mother.
And I canât stand you up either.
â
âAre you sure of that?â Theodore suddenly raised his head and glared at Ariana.
âYeah! I really had no choice but to bring Alina with me.
â With a smirk, Ariana continued to coax him, âThe place weâre going to today happens to be great for kids, too.
I know youâre so nice and youâre not going to make a big deal out of it, are you?â
Theodore turned his head and said nothing.
What else could he say? He couldnât admit he was jealous.
He just couldnât bear to see a stranger between him and Ariana, and it didnât matter that the said stranger was a small child.
He was very unhappy.
What was supposed to be a date for the two of them tumed into a threesome.

Ariana observed Theodoreâs expression for a long time and secretly reached out her hand to hold his.
To her surprise though, Theodore ruthlessly shook her hand off.
At a loss, she glanced at Horace in the front seat, hoping heâd help her.
Unfortunately, he was concentrating on driving.
Ariana then looked at Alina, who was busy playing with her toys.
If they left the little girl alone, she could do naughty things.
Ariana suddenly leaned down and blew on Theodoreâs ear, making his whole body shiver.
He looked at her in disbelief, covering his ears.
He looked so shy all of a sudden.
Before Theodore could react, Ariana took the opportunity to ki*s him on the lips.

Seeing that Theodoreâs face softened, she ki*sed him again.
He was so amused by Ariana that he couldnât keep his cold face anymore.
He pinched her cheek and said helplessly, âJust this once.
â
Ariana agreed and felt relieved.
Sheâd actually lied to him.
Alinaâs presence was actually part of her plan.

When Marge brought up the parent-child camping trip, an idea popped up Arianaâs mind.
She couldnât quite grasp Theodoreâs feelings towards the child.
He always seemed to express his distaste for children.
He even went as far as saying that he would want an abortion if she ever got pregnant with his child.
This made Ariana believe that Theodore despised children, and didnât want anything to do with them.
