Chapter 559
Chapter: 559 She paused, and her heart softened in the end.
Perhaps it was because she had so much to share, her heart ached, and even each breath she took was nothing but painful. The one person she yearned to talk to opted to ghost her, leaving her with no outlet to vent. While in that predicament, Holden’s showing up felt like a lifeline.
She typed a few words on the screen. “What would you do if you discovered that you've been living a blissful lie all your life?”
The message was smoothly sent, and the chat frame indicated that the other party was typing, but after a long while, she received no response. Clearly, he too was struggling at that moment.
Ariana prepared herself to read a lengthy response from him. However, after two minutes, all she received was a short message from Holden. “As long as I’m happy.”
No wonder he was a CEO, keeping his thoughts to himself!
Initially, Ariana felt distressed, hoping to receive some pearls of wisdom from Holden. Yet, given the current circumstances, even though she didn’t receive what she had anticipated, she was at least entertained.
She understood Holden’s meaning and replied, “As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter if it’s a lie or not. Is that what you're trying to say? But how about after you learn it was a lie, will you still force yourself to live it?”
Upon receiving the message, the man furrowed his brow. The dark night blurred the emotions in his eyes, but the pace of his typing revealed his inner anxiety and restlessness.
“Has something happened between you and him? Is he treating you unfairly?” Glancing at the latest message, Ariana pondered it repeatedly but couldn't find a suitable answer to respond with.
Even though there was someone willing to listen at that moment, she didn’t want to share any further. After all, it was her private affair with Theodore.
Furthermore, Holden was also a man. Men often understood each other better, which explained why he believed that as long as they were happy, even if it was a lie, it didn’t matter.
Men tended to be more rational. Their perspective on love was never as significant as what women believed it to be.
Feeling weary, Ariana messaged, “It’s nothing. I’m sleeping now.”
After sending the message, she promptly turned off her phone.
It was nearly five o’clock now. She felt dizzy and her stomach still felt uncomfortable. Perhaps the baby was protesting due to her lack of rest.
With a heavy heart, she caressed her belly. If Theodore didn’t accept the baby, then it was about time she left!
Dawn arrived, and Ariana, wrapped in a blanket, went to the kitchen to grab some sandwiches and milk. She then made her way back to the balcony to watch the sunrise.
Gradually, her eyelids grew heavier. She just covered herself with the blanket and drifted into slumber under the rising sun. Unknown to her, Theodore had been silently observing her from behind the flower rack on the adjacent balcony!
By the time Ariana woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Sunbeams filtered through the glass window and curtains, flooding the entire room. Ariana squinted her eyes against the glare of the sunlight, and buried her head deeper into the soft pillow.
