Furthermore, Ariana now had a baby, but Theodore wouldn’t like its existence.
Ariana experienced a sharp pain in her heart. She slowly unclenched her fists, picked up a glass of
warm water, and took a sip. She then gazed back at Theodore and said, “So, what is your answer? I
need to hear it.”
The atmosphere grew quiet as they stared at each other in silence.
Finally, a deep, husky voice replied, “I can’t give you the answer you seek.”
“Alright, I understand.” Ariana’s eyes reddened involuntarily. She knew her smile must be painful to
see, but she still pretended to be magnanimous. “It’s okay. From. the start, you asked me not to fall in
love with you. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have longed for something that wasn’t meant for me. I apologize
for the inconvenience.”
“That’s enough!” Theodore was feeling overwhelmed and couldn’t take it anymore.
He stopped her mid-sentence, his eyes filled with anguish, and asked, “Do we really need love? Can’t
we just be together forever?”
“But Theodore, you don’t have feelings for me.”
“I never said I didn’t have feelings for you.”
“So do you like me?”
Theodore stayed silent.
Ariana stared at the man who couldn’t respond. “Never mind. Just as you said, the answer isn’t
important.”
After that, she rose to her feet and gazed down at him coldly. “When I return to Eleymond, I’ll reserve a
hotel room on my own. I won’t be going back to the rental apartment for a while. I hope you can respectnovelbin
my wishes this time. Don’t follow me.
Give me the time and space I need to clear my head and contemplate how to handle this relationship
going forward.”
Theodore didn’t want her to leave. He grabbed her wrist, attempting to convince her to stay, but Ariana
shook free.
“Don’t worry. Regardless of what happens, I’ll keep my promise and finish the bet with Jasper.”
Theodore’s bottled-up emotions finally erupted. He spoke somberly. “I won’t divorce you, nor will I let
you go. You’d better accept that.”
“why should I cbey you? What do you take me for?” Ariana was filled with anger and sadness, tears
streaming down her face.
As he saw her in tears, Theodore clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and made a compromise.
“Alright, we can separate for the time being, as you suggested. I won’t go back to the apartment; you
can live there undisturbed. Don’t move into a hotel. You can also stay in the presidential suite while
working with the crew for the next few days. I’ll leave. But I’m only giving you one month to think. After
that, whether you’ve made up your mind or not, you must return to the Anderson family’s mansion with
me.”
Once Ariana had departed, Theodore remained in the restaurant’s private room by himself for an
extended period.
He gazed out the window at the bustling traffic, feeling as though his heart was trapped in a desolate,
cold, and vacant place. ?
