Theodore sat beside Ariana in the car, looking out the window at the scenery passing by.
Suddenly, he said, âNow that Iâm wooing you, and weâve already gone on two dates, can we say we are in love?â
âWhat?â Ariana asked as she came to her senses.
Theodore turned around and gazed into Arianaâs eyes.
âIâm asking if we can take our relationship to the next level,â he replied earnestly.
Ariana laughed and teased, âWhy do you look so cute when you are serious?â
Theodore was speechless and snorted, âDo I look ridiculous?â
âNo, no.
Itâs cute,â she comforted him while rubbing her head against his arm.
Theodore smiled, lowering his head and ki*sing her.
âI remember thereâs a special occasion coming up.
Can you free up your schedule for next Wednesday?â he asked gently.
Ariana wanted to refuse, but suddenly she remembered that that day was her birthday, and felt comforted.
He remembered her birthday and kept it in mind.
After sending Alina back to Molly, Theodore accompanied Ariana to her apartment.

This video conference is very important and I canât postpone it.
Iâll be with you tomorrow night.

âWait a minute.
Did you cancel your work today to spend time with me?â Ariana asked suddenly, looking at him seriously.

He sensed that she wasnât happy with him, so he wanted to explain himself.
But when he opened his mouth to speak, she pressed her index finger against his lips.
He looked at her face and saw a guilty expression on her face.
âSorry, I didnât know you had so much to do today.
Next time, Iâd like you to tell me.
We can have a date anytime,â Ariana said softly.
âI know, but thereâs always work to do.
I donât want to let you down.
â Theodore sighed helplessly.
He never believed that one day he would strive to complete two daysâ work in one day just to spend time with a woman.
It wasnât that anyone was forcing him to do so.
He just wanted to.
âBy the way, Iâm very happy today.
Donât think too much, okay?â As Theodore spoke, he held Arianaâs hand and ki*sed it again.
Ariana nodded and ki*sed him on the forehead.
âGood night.
Donât work too late.
Text me when you go to bed.
