Chapter: 260
As the evening sun beamed into the room, the dying flowers on the table swayed with the wind,
mirroring Ariana’s own tumultuous emotions.
She slowly removed her coat and gazed out the window for what seemed like hours, feeling a sense of
restlessness and exhaustion as if she had been drained of all her energy. The emptiness of the
apartment, with its barren walls and lack of furnishings, only heightened her feelings of loneliness and
isolation.
When she had been at the Anderson family’s mansion, despite Theodore’s sullen demeanor, she had
never felt bored as he would often bicker with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFurthermore, Judy had been a constant source of care and comfort, always ensuring that Ariana was
well-fed and taken care of.
The clock on the wall ticked relentlessly, reminding Ariana of the time.
It was six o’clock, the time when the mansion was usually filled with the sound of clattering cutlery, the
chime of glasses, and Theodore’s stern voice. She couldn’t help but wonder if Theodore had noticed
her absence yet.
Ariana picked up her phone and scrolled through her messages, hoping to find something from him.
But the phone screen remained blank, devoid of any new messages or missed calls.
As the realization sunk in that she had no family now, Ariana felt a pang of loneliness and sadness.
She hugged her knees and buried her face, feeling the weight of her desolation.
“Perhaps it’s not the worst thing to have no family,” she murmured to herself, although the ache in her
heart suggested otherwise.
She subconsciously placed a hand on her lower abdomen, grateful that at least she had the baby
growing within her.
Trying to find solace, Ariana closed her eyes and attempted to calm herself, but her thoughts swirled
and tumbled, leaving her in a state of confusion.
Ariana couldn’t help but wonder if Theodore would hold Judy accountable for her sudden
disappearance. Perhaps he would even call her to interrogate her.
The mere thought made her heart pound like a jackhammer, and a pang of anxiety swept over her. If he
did call, what tone would she use to answer him?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWould he let her return to the mansion?
But then she shook her head, feeling foolish for having such thoughts. After all, why would he care?
Maybe her departure had solved his problem.
As for Judy, Ariana vowed to personally apologize if she got the opportunity.
As the night fell, the starry sky outside her window seemed to mock her loneliness.
Ariana sat there, staring into the emptiness, waiting for Theodore’s call or text, but none came.
As her heart began to cool, Ariana started to feel ridiculous. What made her think that he cared for her
anyway?
The initial sadness soon transformed into a burning anger, and she resolved to treat herself with the
utmost kindness. If no one would love her, she would love herself.
With a decisive click of her phone, Ariana ordered a lavish meal for herself. The thought of taking care
of herself was so refreshing, it made her feel like a brand-new person.
