Chapter: 104
Her eyes felt itchy all of a sudden. She wanted to burst into tears. It was no news that Theodore didn’t want to have this baby. After all, he had threatened to force her to have an abortion if she fell pregnant.
Nonetheless, it still hurt now that he expressed pleasure concerning the news. His recent caring attitude had blinded her for a moment. It turned out that he was still the cold man he was when they first met.
A leopard never changes its spots. Ariana felt that it was stupid of her to have forgotten who he was. She should have been mentally prepared for such a thing to happen.
She lowered her head and blinked several times to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall. When she did that successfully, she looked up at Theodore and asked, “When will you file for divorce?” @
Theodore’s right hand which was holding a fork paused midway to his mouth. He set down the fork and asked with a frown, “What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted a divorce the first day we met? It was delayed because of the possibility of having a baby. Now that we are sure the insemination failed, you don’t have to continue living with me. We should divorce now, shouldn’t we?”
It was crystal clear that Ariana was upset. The tone of her voice gave her away, but she didn’t care. She just wanted to be away from this man—out of sight, out of mind!
Theodore took a sip of water and wiped his mouth before saying, “Need | remind you that we made a bet? Your mother’s belongings are still in my possession. Until the game comes to an end in three months, you can’t walk away from this marriage. So, chill and get your head in the game.”
“| was just...” Ariana’s words trailed off as Theodore wheeled himself away from the dining room.
She could only stare at his back with her eyes darkening. The atmosphere in the room was warm, but her heart was as cold as ice.
For the umpteenth time in their short marriage, she realized that she was just a tool for Theodore because he wanted to get back at his half-brother.
Throughout the night, Ariana couldn’t sleep a wink. She got up at the crack of dawn and left for work so she wouldn’t see Theodore that morning.
Just to stay awake, she drank several cups of coffee. It affected her appetite.
Sarah didn’t come to the company today, so Ariana had no one to talk to. She had done all her tasks for today. The day was becoming more and more boring.
She would only have a lot of work to do by next month when Sarah would fly to lvebridge for the variety show.
During lunch break, Ariana went out to buy another cup of coffee, When she came back, she saw Donna waiting at the door of her office.
“Where the hell have you been, Ariana? | looked everywhere for you! An important activity is currently going on. They are understaffed. Go there to help right now!” Donna yelled, frowning at her. @
Donna was not talking nicely to Ariana. Obviously, she was here to stir up trouble.
Ariana knew that Donna was on Jasper’s side, so Ariana wouldn’t agree to do anything she knew she shouldn't.
“That’s not my problem. You should take it up with the foreign aid department,” Ariana declined coldly, keeping her expression passive.
Donna folded her arms and cast Ariana a look of disdain. “Do you think you can just do whatever you want because Mr. Silence helped you last time? If so, you’re delusional. There’s no way that will happen. You're the most leisurely person at the company now. You should go there.”
After saying that, Donna left abruptly, giving Ariana no chance to refute her words.
Ariana felt anger burning inside her chest. She gripped her cup of coffee and gulped it down. The bitterness of it made her shudder, but it seemed to calm her nerves.
