Chapter 844
Theodore understood all too well Ariana’s profound Longing to become a mother, and the mere thought of her enduring this pain tore at his heartstrings.
He dreaded the idea of her making a self-sacrificing choice to protect their unborn children, even if it meant compromising her own well-being.
With a heavy heart, Theodore couldn’t bring himself to share this heart-wrenching truth with Ariana.
Instead, he chose to bear the burden of this information alone, concealing his own emotional turmoil behind a facade of smiles as they continued their day together.
Yet, deep within, Theodore grappled with an overwhelming sense of guilt.
He couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling that, in due course, Ariana might come to resent him for keeping the truth hidden from her.
The weight of the secret became palpable as they walked side by side, and he wrestled with the conflicting emotions within him.
He couldn’t bear the thought that the love he held for Ariana might inadvertently lead her down a path of regret in the future.
Suppressing the ache in his heart, Theodore gracefully maneuvered the car, drawing closer to Ariana.
“I really don’t want to return to the hospital,” Ariana expressed, a touch of frustration seeping through her words.
“Being confined there all the time feels suffocating, and honestly, I think I’m better now, at least physically.
”
With genuine concern etched on his face, Theodore inquired, “Then where would you like to go instead?”
After pondering for a moment, a spark of joy illuminated Ariana’s face, and she adorned a heartwarming smile.
“I want to go home.
I miss Judy’s cooking.
”
Caught off guard, Theodore had not expected such a reply.
He hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, “Really? You’re willing to go back?”
“Yes,” Ariana affirmed with a nod, displaying her unwavering determination.
With a playful glint in her eyes, Ariana couldn’t resist adding, “But let’s keep the apartment, just in case.
Who knows, if you ever manage to infuriate me, I might run away and hide there.
”
Theodore chuckled warmly, his voice filled with affection.
“Alright, I own the entire floor of that apartment, so it’ll be ready for you whenever you want to stay there.
”
Before long, Theodore and Ariana made their way back to the grand Andersons’ mansion.
As they stepped inside, Ariana was taken aback.
The house was bathed in a warm glow, and she was pleasantly surprised to see that all the previously dismissed staff were back, as if they had never left.
It felt Like she was going back to the very first moment she had arrived here, only this time she was going back home with the person she loved.

Judy, the housekeeper, couldn’t contain her joy at seeing Theodore and Ariana coming back together.
She hurriedly took the things from their hands, embracing Ariana in a heartfelt hug.
“You appear to have lost even more weight.
Have you not been eating well?” Judy inquired without giving Ariana a chance to respond.
“Are you hungry? Let me cook you some late-night snacks.
”
A grateful smile adorned Ariana’s face as she nodded in response.
After indulging in the delicious late-night snacks Judy had prepared, she engaged in a heartwarming conversation, catching up on everything that had transpired since her departure.
Following the delightful treat, Ariana retired to her old room.
However, upon opening the door, she was taken aback to find her belongings gone.
Perplexed, she stood there until Theodore entered the room.
Taking her by the hand, he guided her to his own room, saying, “This is where you’ll stay from now on.
”
Ariana then noticed, to her surprise, that all her belongings had been neatly arranged in his room, even her cherished stuffed toys.
Moreover Theodore had thoughtfully prepared everything she might need, from seasonal clothes to a personalized study desk.
The meticulous attention to detail made it evident that he had been planning this for quite some time.

As the realization of her special place in his life dawned on her, warmth and joy overflowed in Ariana’s heart.
Emotions swirling within her like a tempest, Ariana found herself irresistibly drawn to Theodore.
In a moment of spontaneity, she grasped his collar and planted a tender ki*s upon his Lips, brimming with affection.
Though she initially intended to pull away from him after the sweet exchange of affection, Ariana found herself buried in Theodore’s warm embrace.
The ki*s deepened, and she couldn’t resist tightening her grip on his collar, surrendering to the intoxicating sensations that enveloped her.
A soft, involuntary moan escaped her Lips as she felt Theodore’s hands delicately caress her waist.
Yet, amidst the ardor of their embrace, Theodore’s keen perception detected a shift in the atmosphere.
Responding instinctively, he gently disengaged from the ki*s, gazing into Ariana’s flushed countenance, her skin warm to the touch.
A trickle of blood escaped from her nose.
The sight of Ariana’s face smeared with blood struck terror into Theodore’s heart.
Without wasting a moment, he delicately lifted her onto the bed and applied a healing potion he kept on hand for emergencies.
