Ariana wanted to inquire further, but just then, Theodore returned from the study, startling her. Hastily, she ended the call. “Hmm? Who were you talking to?” Theodore asked.
Ariana’s heart leaped into her throat, and she unconsciously clutched the phone in her hand more tightly.
After a moment of hesitation, Ariana found herself at a crossroads and decided to tread the path of deception.
She placed her phone down calmly, explaining, “Oh, it’s just Sarah. | woke up early and couldn't fall back asleep. Since you were not around, | thought of giving her a call to pass the time.”
“Really?” Theodore smiled and casually asked.
But Ariana’s nerves were on edge. Swiftly, she hid the truth, adopting a coquettish tone, “Of course. Since you’re seldom here, who else can | turn to?”
Her hand brushed her belly as she spoke. “I’m hungry.”
Theodore’s smile widened, and he gently ruffled her hair, showing no sign of suspicion. “Alright then, let’s get up and have a meal.
Everything is ready. Afterward, we'll prepare for the hospital visit and surgery.”
The mention of the surgery made Ariana’s heart skip a beat, suddenly losing her appetite.
She looked away uneasily and mumbled, “I want to have the cheese toast you make for me. I'll go wash my face.” “Sure,” Theodore agreed, leaving without a hint of doubt.
When he left, Ariana realized her palms were sweating from the anxiety.
After some contemplation, Ariana made up her mind to avoid Theodore for the moment and check the mail. Sneaking out, she saw Theodore busy in the kitchen as she passed the living room.
He wasn't particularly skillful, but the earnestness in his actions tugged at her heart.
Guilt washed over Ariana unexpectedly as she went past.
She didn’t expect herself to doubt Theodore again, rather than Helen.
But the thought of the babies in her belly made her wary of any carelessness.
She resolved to take a peek, especially after Theodore’s sudden agreement to keep the babies and the oddly smooth discussions about the surgery and child-related matters.
“This is the Last time,” Ariana vowed to herself. If she misunderstood Theodore, she would apologize and place her trust in him forever.
With a tiptoe to the mailbox, Ariana took a deep breath and opened it. Inside, she found a document that left her dumbfounded. Bold letters adorned the top.
