Zayden looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
Sadie continued, âIâm tired.
What have I gained from all this persistence? Iâve lost everything.
But in the end, it is all in vain.
Maybe I am destined to love without being loved in return.
â
Seeing Sadie crying pitifully like this and looking vulnerable, Zayden felt sorry for her.
He moved closer, held her in his arms, and ki*sed her.
âDonât be sad.
Iâm here for you.
I promise your world will be quiet in a few days.
â
This time, it was Sadie who looked at Zayden in confusion.
She asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Zayden smiled mysteriously.
Instead of answering her question, he pulled her up and said, âLetâs go.
Iâll take you out to get some nourishment.
No matter what, we canât neglect the baby in your belly.
Donât be sad now.
Itâs bad for the baby.
â
He gently touched Sadieâs face and added affectionately, âLook at you.
Youâve lost weight recently.
You are pregnant, but you look very unhealthy.
You need to keep up with your nutrition.
â
Sadie was taken aback by Zaydenâs tender words.
He rarely showed care and concern for her, so she was moved.
However, she soon came back to her senses.
She regained her composure, and her expression darkened slightly.
She touched her belly without saying anything.
She understood why Zayden was being nice to her all of a sudden.
It must be because of the baby in her belly, which was his.
Arianaâs phone buzzed incessantly with messages flooding in from her group chat.
Her friends didnât know about Holden, but they knew Theodore.
Among the flurry of messages, Sarah and a handful of others were frantically tagging Ariana, seeking answers.
âWhatâs going on? Whoâs that man?â
âWait, is he a person or a ghost?â
âHow can there be someone whoâs Theodoreâs spitting image? Where did you unearth this doppelganger?â
âDid you scout a plastic surgery clinic to track down a lookalike or something?â
Amidst the chaos, Margeâs voice of reason surfaced.
âHold on.
Iâve been swamped with another project this season and havenât kept up with the show.
Whatâs going on? I donât recall this guy being introduced as a guest?â
Ariana decided to come clean.
Realizing there was no way around it she confessed.
âGuys, that man is actually Theodore.
â
The group exploded in shock, prompting Ariana to recount the entire story once more, detailing Theodoreâs another identity as Holden and his memory loss following a car accident.
As Ariana finished her explanation, Sarah expressed her astonishment with a barrage of shocked emojis, setting off a chorus of similar reactions from the others.
Then, a flurry of voice messages followed.
âHow is this even possible? Is it destiny or some sort of divine intervention?â
âThis is absolutely mind-boggling! You two coincidentally met again the moment you returned to the country?â
âAbsolutely unbelievable!â
Betsyâs voice message conveyed sheer disbelief.
âThis is straight out of a novel! Falling in love all over again despite amnesia! Itâs like a fairytale! Oh my goodness, how romantic!â
