“Find it yourself.” Theodore’s attitude was frigid and dismissive, akin to the biting winds of winter. His previous docile demeanor had vanished completely.
Ariana scrunched her face, about to respond when Theodore abruptly tumed away and went back inside. “How strange,” muttered Ariana, her lips pouting in confusion.
As Ariana stepped inside, her eyes landed on her phone lying on the table. As soon as she picked it up, the faint sound of wheels clicking against the hardwood floor interrupted her.
Before she could even comprehend what was happening, she was enveloped in a strong, warm embrace. Theodore’s muscular arms effortlessly lifted her up.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Caught off guard, her hands instinctively moved to wrap around his neck, finding a steady balance as she sat in his lap. She gazed up at him, breathing in his familiar scent.
“What...” Ariana was at a loss for words as Theodore’s breath tickled her cheeks. Her face flushed with a mix of confusion and embarrassment.
As his warm breath continued to caress her skin, a jolt of electricity seemed to course through her body, making her heart race uncontrollably.
But as she finally registered how close they were, Ariana felt her cheeks burn with shame and irritation. She quickly loosened her hold around Theodore’s neck.
“What's going on?” Theodore’s grip was tight, his fingers pressing into the soft flesh of Ariana’s waist.
With his other hand, he gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. The coldness of his stare sent shivers down her spine, and when a sneer curled at the comer of his mouth, Ariana’s heart pounded in her chest. “Is it true,” he asked, his voice low and dangerous, “that you prefer someone younger?”
Ariana was dumbfounded by Theodore’s sudden accusation. She couldn't fathom what made him think that she preferred someone younger.
Before she could protest, Theodore leaned in close and whispered sweetly, mimicking a young boy, “Hello, Ariana?”
His voice was like a deep bass note that reverberated through her body, sending shivers down her spine. The sound was so seductive that it made Ariana’s heart race.
Despite her efforts to resist, Ariana found herself powerless against Theodore’s charm. She always liked beautiful voices, and now she was completely mesmerized by his charming voice.
Pushing Theodore away, Ariana’s face blushed like a ripe apple. “What are you doing? Don’t take advantage of me,” she said in a faltering voice.
However, Theodore’s reply came in a fierce tone, his words dripping with sarcasm. “What? You prefer younger men to call you like that?” He then called her name in different tones, his voice becoming increasingly strange and playful.
It was obvious that he was making fun of her and teasing her relentlessly. Ariana was annoyed and frustrated by his childish behavior, her patience wearing thin.
