Chapter: 350novelbin

Realizing that she couldn’t keep the truth hidden any longer, Ariana apologized and said, “I’m sorry. I

shouldn’t have kept this from you. My husband is Theodore, but our relationship is kept under wraps,

and only a few people know we’re together.”

Tyler was unsure what to feel. He didn’t seem sad, but he was certainly angry.

“Is Theodore really that incompetent? He’s your husband, yet he asked you to work while you are

pregnant, and it seems like he doesn’t care about you regularly. He doesn’t even bother to come to pick

you up from time to time.”

“It is a little complicated.” Ariana was at a loss for words and felt a headache coming on. She couldn’t

bring herself to tell Tyler that the baby in her belly was conceived through artificial insemination surgery

and that even Theodore was unaware of its existence, making it even harder to explain.

Ariana didn’t want to reveal the inner workings of the Anderson family to Tyler, as it would involve many

irrelevant individuals.

Ariana did her best to choose her words carefully to avoid arousing Tyler’s suspicion. “To be honest, I

want to have a career of my own. I believe women should have the opportunity to pursue their own

goals. Besides, I haven’t told Theodore about my pregnancy yet, because I’m afraid that if I tell him too

soon, he’ll become overprotective and prevent me from working.”

“When will you tell him?” Tyler furrowed his brows and looked serious. He appeared to be

contemplating whether there was a loophole in her words.

Ariana had to be vague. “In a month or two,” she replied.

By then, the bet would have come to an end, and she planned to leave Eleymond to take care of

herself and the baby somewhere where no one knew her.

Tyler didn’t respond. He didn’t agree with Ariana’s decision to work as an agent while she was

pregnant. Pregnancy was a big deal, and he didn’t want her to push herself too hard. If she hadn’t

arrived here on time today, she might have suffered a miscarriage and lost her baby.

The shooting site was overcrowded with too many people, putting her at risk of another accident.

“Please, keep my pregnancy a secret for now. I want to have the freedom to move around for another

month or two without anyone knowing. I’ll tell my husband about the pregnancy when the time is right,”

said Ariana in a pitiful tone, her head bowed low.

Tyler couldn’t bear to witness the sadness etched on her face. Despite his apprehension about the

repercussions, he reluctantly gave in.

“I’ll keep your pregnancy a secret, but you must vow to prioritize your well-being and rest when the time

is right.”

“Absolutely. Continuing to work with a growing belly isn’t right.” Ariana’s spirits lifted, and she assured

Tyler with a beaming smile.

The sudden seriousness in a young man like Tyler was rather alarming, especially given the recent

interrogation. Luckily, Ariana managed to win him over, and she silently celebrated her close call.

Seeing Ariana’s cheerful expression, Tyler felt slightly reassured. He handed her some medication,

saying, “This is prescribed by the doctor to safeguard the baby.

Take it regularly. The child hasn’t been harmed, but you still need to focus on recovery.”

Ariana nodded, accepted the medicine, and requested her bag.

Tyler rose and fetched the bag from a corner. It was sizable and heavy, and he wondered what it

contained.

However, he soon found out.

Ariana then removed her laptop, thermos, umbrella, scarf, and four bottles of various vitamins from her

bag.
