Chapter 244
Chapter: 244 He hadn't told her about his birthday, but had celebrated it with Helen. To Ariana, that said enough about how he felt. Holding back tears, she turned and left.
She passed the stairway and looked down at the beautiful cake in her hand with a bitter smile. Then she threw it straight into the trash can.
The next day, Ariana had been in bed for a long time and didn’t feel like going downstairs for breakfast. She didn’t want to face Theodore.
But she was very hungry, and when she thought of the baby she was carrying, she decided to be good to herself. She got up, tied her hair, and went downstairs dressed in a light yellow wool dress.
As soon as she went downstairs, she heard Helen’s soft voice.
“Theodore, this salad tastes so good. Try it.”
He didn’t say anything, but Ariana could imagine the expression on his face. She never imagined that such a cold and sharp- tongued man would like this kind of woman.
Ariana felt bitter and ridiculous at the same time. Theodore had only smiled at her a few times, but it seemed he would do anything for Helen.
“Mrs. Anderson, why don’t you go and have some breakfast?” Judy asked curiously. She had come out with porridge and noticed Ariana standing there in a daze. Ariana came to her senses and smiled. “I’m going now.”
Helen had heard the sound of Ariana coming down the stairs and had started talking more attentively to Theodore, but he looked indifferent.
Helen didn’t seem discouraged by this. When Ariana came into the dining room, she put on a bright smile and said, “Ariana, you're finally here. By the way, where were you last night? Yesterday was Theodore’s birthday. | wanted to ask you to celebrate together but | couldn’t find you. Oh, | didn’t think he would forget to tell you about his birthday.”
Helen feigned naivety. Although she didn’t say anything explicit, her tone dripped with sarcasm. It made Ariana incredibly uncomfortable.
Ariana sneered, “Well, | guess it’s enough for him to have you.”
Disgusted by Helen, Ariana was no longer in the mood for breakfast. She turned to leave.
Looking at Ariana who was clearly angry, Theodore frowned. He then ordered Judy, “Pack up some food and take it to the company for Ariana.”
“Got it.” Judy was happy to hear this. She liked Ariana, and hoped that she could live happily with Theodore. Helen drank the milk silently, feeling unhappy. Why was Theodore always so considerate toward that woman?
“Eat up. | have a meeting to get to.” Theodore glanced at Helen. He was not in the mood to stay any longer.
