Arianaâs heart sank as her grip tightened, a mixture of hurt and embarrassment flooding her being.
The realization that he would trivialize their relationship in the presence of others pierced her deeply.
Dismissing the moment with a derisive snort, Helen reveled in her triumph over Ariana.
Ariana took a deep breath, striving to regain her composure.
Silently, she made her way towards the exit.
âWhere are you going?â Helen regarded her with an odd mixture of curiosity and disdain.
Ariana turned back, offering a gentle smile.
âNaturally, I am going to find my husband.
I cannot simply accept your words.
I must confront him about this.
â
Helen was unable to keep her composure upon hearing this.
She grabbed Arianaâs hand and asked in a stern voice, âWhat do you want to ask? Do you want to humble yourself?â
Ariana shook off Helenâs hand and said coldly, âItâs none of your business.
â
âWhat about the baby? Are you ready to put his life on the line? What will you do if Theodore forces you to abort the baby once he learns of its existence? Theodore will never let you give birth to his baby.
He doesnât love you at all!â
Glaring at Ariana, Helen provoked her with the cruelest words.
âIf Theodore really does that, it would be the proof that I was wrong.
I will only accept my fate and leave with my child.
â Ariana didnât want to talk to Helen anymore, so she just strode away.

Seeing Ariana leave, Helen felt extremely nervous.
She couldnât let Ariana leave like this.
Biting her nails nervously, Helen checked the time on her phone.
When she looked up again and saw Ariana who was about to go downstairs, she smiled.
However, her smile looked forced and weird.
Ariana walked quickly.
She didnât want to stay here a second longer.
She regretted coming here and having listened to Helenâs absurd remarks.
It was clear that Helen was in the wrong frame of mind.

Sighing, Ariana pulled out her phone, determined to call Theodore.
She felt it was best to discuss with him directly.
Only then would she know whether she should give up on Theodore or not.
When she was about to dial Theodoreâs number, she heard rapid footsteps behind her.
There were only two people at the house tonight, she and Helen.
So that must be Helenâs footsteps.

Ariana suddenly had a bad feeling and was suddenly on her guard.
Her first instinct was to hold on to the railing of the stairs to stabilize herself.

Helen rushed behind Ariana and grabbed Arianaâs other hand.
âWhat do you want?â Ariana asked nervously, while holding the railing tightly in case Helen suddenly pushed her down in an act of madness.
She had the feeling that Helen wouldnât let her go easily tonight.
Noticing that Ariana was protecting her belly, Helen said in a mocking tone, âDo you think I would try to hurt your baby? Donât worry, Iâm not stupid.
This child is what stands in the way of your relationship with Theodore.

Helen was convinced that as long as the child was alive, Theodore would definitely hate Ariana.
Although Helen said so, Ariana didnât relax her vigilance.
She stared at Helen and asked, âThen what do you want?â
