Chapter: 349
Francis’ lewd and haughty expression made her shudder with disgust.
She rubbed her arms, growing increasingly uneasy.
A discomfort settled in her stomach. Clutching her belly, she broke into a sweat, anxiety washing over
her.
Could her fall into the water have harmed her unborn child?
Thoughts of the baby brought her back to reality. She glanced at Tyler, who had been tailing her the

She blinked, her mind racing, unable to understand the situation. Then, the memories flooded back.
Thinking of the moment before she passed out, her heart dropped, and she instinctively reached for her
belly.
“Don’t worry. The baby is okay.” Tyler’s voice came from nearby.
Ariana looked up to see him seated on the edge of her bed.
Relieved, she then realized something, and her gaze fixed on Tyler, wordlessly.
Meeting her eyes, Tyler said, “Ariana, you’ve been pregnant for three months. Why didn’t you tell me?
If I had known, I would’ve taken you to the hospital right after you fell into the water.”

pregnant?”
Ariana was at a loss for words, so she awkwardly tugged at the blanket and replied, “He’s not someone

when Tyler mentioned a name in an unusual tone.
“Theodore Anderson. Is he your husband?”
Ariana was stunned. How did Tyler know that? She had never mentioned Theodore’s name to him, and
she hadn’t had any contact with him at work.
Ariana’s eyes gave away Tyler’s guess, and he had already sensed that their relationship was not
ordinary. The first time Tyler called Ariana, it was Theodore who picked up the phone. Despite the
distance, Tyler could hear Theodore’s unfriendly tone.
The second time, on the day they signed the contract, Theodore’s hostility toward Tyler and his
possessive attitude toward Ariana were apparent.
As aman, Tyler could understand what Theodore was thinking.
