Chapter: 350
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.”

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.

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.
