Chapter: 650
A wave of relief washed over Ariana at this revelation. With Mitchel as her doctor, she felt safe. Her
pregnancy secret was secure.
However, Theodore’s previous disposition towards Mitchel brought a new confusion to her. She looked
at Horace, perplexed, “But what about Theodore—”
Horace quickly caught what she meant. Casting a glance at Mitchel, he positioned himself in front of
Ariana. “What our boss means is that even though he’s not too fond of this doctor, if you wish for his
services, he respects your decision and will let him stay.”
Ariana sat on the bed, a little taken aback, her mind traveling back to the conversation in the hotel with
Theodore.
So, he’d kept her words in mind after all?
Reflecting on that exchange in the hotel room, a wave of sadness swept over her.
She had said some harsh words to him and had yet to apologize.
Then, Judy’s comforting words flashed through her mind. “Give him a little time, he’ll change for the
better.”
Could it be that he might genuinely transform for her?
The recent events had strengthened her resolve. She was willing to make concessions for Theodore.
If Theodore could back her choices, she could adjust to Theodore’s need for control and possession,
and even let go of his past intrusive behavior.
However, she had a hurdle to overcome—Marley.
She had to find out who Marley was, what part she played in Theodore’s life.novelbin
After spending so many years in the Edwards family, much had been stripped from her, but she held on
to her steadfastness, her principles, and her boundaries.
No matter the depth of her love for Theodore, she wouldn’t surrender her principles and boundaries for
him.
Love wasn’t a commodity, cheap and expendable.
She wouldn’t shower Theodore with her love only to be a pale reflection of another in his eyes. She
would not love him in such a humble way.
Recalling Judy’s odd reaction, she felt convinced that Judy knew who Marley was, and the nature of
the connection between her and Theodore.
She had to find the right moment to probe further.
“Unless you have something else, it’s time to prepare for the physical exam. The longer you delay, the
worse it will be,” urged Mitchel with his usual poker face.
Ariana’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
She snapped out of her daze and shifted her gaze towards Mitchel. A cunning wink escaped her, a
subtle reminder of their agreement to keep her pregnancy under wraps. She needed him to come
through for her now more than ever.
