Chapter: 513
However, when Alina stayed with the Anderson family, Ariana noticed that Theodore didn’t reject her
and even spoiled her at times.
This made Ariana wonder if Theodore actually had a soft spot for children, and if there was another
reason why he expressed his dislike towards them.
Ariana’s curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to use this camping trip as a way to test
Theodore’s attitude towards children.
She knew that she couldn’t keep her pregnancy a secret from him anymore, and she didn’t want to hide
it from him either, especially since they were in love. So, she asked for Sarah’s help in borrowing Alina
for the night.
After driving for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the parking lot outside of the picnic area.
Ariana had spent the previous night preparing everything they needed for the trip, and had thoroughly
studied Marge’s plan to make sure they had everything on the list.
The trunk of the car was overflowing with all of the supplies they would need for the camping trip.
Ariana asked for Horace’s help to move all the necessary ingredients and camping utensils.
Meanwhile, Theodore had to take care of Alina due to his physical limitations.
The little girl stood in front of Theodore, clutching a toy chicken. They exchanged a wordless glance,
with only the sound of the toy filling the silence.
“Let’s go,” Theodore instructed without a hint of emotion on his face.
He led the way in his wheelchair. However, after a couple of steps, he realized that Alina was still
standing in the same spot, fixated on the toy in her hand, with her hair all over the place.
Feeling a sense of obligation towards the child, he turned back and began moving forward, holding her
hand.
Alina didn’t say a word. She still held onto the toy chicken with a death grip as she followed him.
At first, the both of them remained silent, and although the atmosphere was tense, it was still relatively
calm. But as they exited the parking lot and entered a large grassy area, the number of people around
them started to increase. Suddenly, Alina seemed to panic and clung tightly to her toy. Her eyes darted
around anxiously as she broke out into a sweat. The toy she was holding was nearly deformed by her
grip.
In that moment, a young boy walked by and popped the balloon he was holding.
Alina was petrified and began to shake uncontrollably. In a panic, she turned to flee.
Just then, Theodore swooped in and lifted her up with one hand, placing her gently on his lap.
“Don’t run off or the aliens will snatch you,” he warned her with a blank expression on his face.
Surprisingly, Alina didn’t put up a fight. She simply curled up in Theodore’s embrace.
It was a heartwarming sight to see.
Meanwhile, Ariana quietly trailed behind them, watching as Theodore and Alina bonded.novelbin
Despite Theodore’s gruff demeanor, he was surprisingly gentle with the little girl. It was almost like he
was her father.
Ariana couldn’t help but grin when she saw Theodore scoop up Alina in his arms.
