Did Theodore not care about all of that?
As Ariana gazed at him in silence, a gloominess came over her.
She couldnât help but feel sorry for him.
There was a knock on the door, and the restaurant manager entered with some new folded clothes in his hands.
Theodore took the clothes and maneuvered his wheelchair to the restroom.
Ariana hesitated for a moment before standing up and following him.
However, she had only taken a few steps when Theodore suddenly stopped and turned his wheelchair slightly to look at her.
He raised his eyebrows and asked incredulously, âWhat? Do you want to change my pants for me?â
A blush appeared on Arianaâs face and she halted, flustered.
She spluttered, âWhat are you talking about? Iâm just worried that youâll fall because of your legs.
â
Theodore chuckled and said, âDonât worry about it.
I can manage.
â
Then he turned back around and went to the restroom to change.
Ariana lingered a little longer in the private room.
for him, but soon she felt hot and stuffy.
She decided to wait outside and get some fresh air.
However, the moment she took a step out of the private room, Jasper appeared out of nowhere.
He yanked Ariana by the wrist and shoved her against the wall.
She let out a yelp in surprise and struggled, but he held her firm and hissed, âHave you fallen in love with Theodore?â
She could feel his hot breath on her face, and her nose was hit by the strong smell of alcohol.
Ariana struggled desperately from his grasp.
âAre you crazy? Let go of me!â
How much did this coward have to drink? She could tell he had drunk without any consideration.
It didnât help that he went crazy when he was intoxicated.
Ariana gritted her teeth.
Furious, she lifted her leg and kicked him, snarling, âI said let go of me! Iâm your sister-in-law!â
But it had no effect.
Jasper pressed on her to stay still forcefully.
His eyes looked wild and unfocused as he mumbled, âTell me the truth.
Do you love Theodore? Why are you out with him on Valentineâs Day? And why did you look so worried when I scalded Theodore just now? Donât tell me you feel bad for him.

Ariana was enraged, but she couldnât help but let out a bitter laugh.
Jasperâs behavior was so absurd to her that she couldnât even bother explaining.
She gave in and followed his accusations.
âOh, yes, Iâve fallen deeply for Theodore.
But what else did you expect? Heâs far more handsome, considerate, and exceptional than you could ever hope to be.
Heâs nowhere near as despicable as you.
â
Jasperâs eyes narrowed in fury.
He went berserk and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her violently.
âIâm despicable? Me? Ariana, are you sure you even know whoâs the despicable one? Do you know what the hell youâre talking about? You say youâre in love with Theodore? How dare you have feelings for that guy! What kind of shining knight do you think he is? Youâre naive! Youâre only being fooled by him! Youâre an idiot!â
âSo what? I do what I want to do.
Itâs none of your business,â Ariana retorted coldly, unperturbed by his outburst.
She didnât want to be a doormat to him.
She glared daggers at him, infuriated.
Jasper stared at her in disbelief.
Dazed by her reply, he loosened his grip on her shoulders.
He asked in a low voice, âWhy are you acting like this? What did Theodore do to you? We were together for three years.
Youâve only been married to him for a month.
How has your mind changed so drastically?â
Jasperâs outrage had only disappeared for a moment.
As he spoke, his voice rose higher and higher, and soon he was roaring at her in fury.
Ariana wasnât frightened.
Rather, she was.
irritated by the nerve he had to talk to her like this.
She snapped sarcastically, âDonât pretend like youâre perfect, Jasper.
We both know who betrayed our relationship first.
â
Jasper froze.
He goggled at her in silence for a moment before he suddenly burst out laughing like a lunatic.
He pinched Arianaâs chin between his fingers and lifted her face, forcing her to look at him.
Then he leaned closer and said, âYouâre just saying this to piss me off, arenât you? Youâre trying to take revenge on me because Iâm with Brielle.
â
Ariana was shocked by Jasperâs ludicrous allegations.
She gazed at him in bewilderment and asked incredulously, âJasper.
Donât tell me you regret it, do you?â
Jasper was stunned for a moment.
A complicated expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he seemed to be struggling.
Jasper lowered his head in anguish.
The veins on the back of his hands bulged, as if he was holding something back.
Ariana knew Jasper well and could immediately tell what he was thinking.
