Ariana cast her gaze downward, her hand instinctively resting on her abdomen.
Although she had repeatedly counselled herself to be patient, her patience was beginning to fray.

Their ongoing separation only intensified her yearning for him.
Despite reminding herself to remain patient and calm, the thought of Theodore would sporadically invade her mind.
She ached for his presence and missed him with every passing second.

Moreover, the unborn children within her were awaiting her decision.
Time wouldnât stand still for anyone, and she wished to make this decision in conjunction with the childrenâs father.

âMadam, now that youâre feeling better, how about returning to Mr.
Andersonâs residence? Iâve made all your favorite dishes, and itâll be easier to care for you there,â Judy suggested.
She was overjoyed at Arianaâs recovery, but also concerned that Ariana might choose not to return to Theodoreâs house, opting to stay elsewhere instead.
She feared their continued separation might cause a rift between the young couple.
The mention of Theodoreâs residence ignited a spark in Arianaâs eyes.
She grabbed Judyâs arm, eagerly asking, âHas Theodore been staying there recently?â
For the past two weeks, she had consciously refrained from inquiring about him.
As a result, she had no idea how he was doing.

This was the first time she had voiced her concerns in days.

Regrettably, Judy could only shake her head, displaying a troubled expression.
Ariana froze for a moment before shifting her gaze towards Horace.
Horace met Arianaâs probing gaze but could only reciprocate with a bitter smile and reveal, âWe havenât seen the boss in half a month.
Even Iâm unsure of his whereabouts.
â
The fact that even Horace was clueless about Theodoreâs location was startling.
Could something have transpired with Theodore?
Arianaâs heart jolted.
The worry etched into her face was visible.
She couldnât help but ask, âDid anyone check the suburban manor?â

âWe did, but the boss wasnât there,â Horace responded.
Arianaâs distressed expression suggested she was on the verge of tears.
He swiftly reassured her, âDonât worry, Madam.
The boss should be alright.
Heâs been managing company business remotely every day.

Horaceâs words left Arianaâs feelings in turmoil, akin to a roller coaster ride.
She took a deep breath to regain her composure.
So, for the past two weeks, even though Theodoreâs whereabouts remained unknown, he had been fulfilling his professional obligations as usual?
Accold, bitter laugh escaped Ariana, causing Horace to cringe internally.
Horace knew that if Theodore didnât show up soon, he might be on the fast track to divorce.
He might indeed lose his wife.
Finally, under the concerned gazes of Judy and Horace, Ariana turned to Sarah.
âMay I stay with you?â ©
