Chapter: 564
Time to call it a day.”
When Ariana returned home, she was determined to take good care of her baby. She immediately
ordered a delicious and nutritious meal. Just as she was about to indulge in it, she received a phone
call from a fancy restaurant, reminding her not to forget her reservation for tomorrow night.
Caught off guard, Ariana inquired, bewildered, “What reservation?”
“You and Mr. Anderson have a table reserved at our establishment tomorrow evening,” the attendant
replied courteously.
Suddenly, it dawned on Ariana that tomorrow was her birthday. Memories of the last camp trip flooded
her mind, when Theodore had promised to make her birthday unforgettable with special arrangements.

asked, her smile tinged with bitterness.
The waiter seemed taken aback for a moment before responding, “Miss, I just confirmed with Mr.
Anderson, and he didn’t express any intention of canceling the reservation.”
Ariana was puzzled by Theodore’s gesture. They had been distant lately, so she couldn’t comprehend
why he wanted to celebrate her birthday.
“Whatever. I don’t want to keep him waiting. Let him know that I won’t be coming.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone. Her mood, which had finally turned better, became bad
again.
Staring at the tempting dishes on the table, she couldn’t find the appetite to eat. She continuously
scrolled through her phone screen, anxiously waiting for Theodore’s call, but it never came. She had
half-expected him to question her refusal, providing an opportunity to either engage in a verbal duel or
find a resolution through a heart-to-heart conversation.
But there was nothing – not even a text.
Tears welled up in Ariana’s eyes. Falling for him was proving to be a torment.
With tears streaming down her cheeks, she forced herself to eat the meal, reminding herself that she
couldn’t let her unborn child go hungry. She was determined to bring the child into the world, even if its
father didn’t share her enthusiasm. She could always make a fresh start with her child.
Not until midnight did Ariana receive a message from Theodore, a simple birthday greeting without any
additional words, as if nothing had occurred between them.
It felt like a punch in the air, with Ariana being the only one upset while Theodore didn’t seem to take it

Feeling dejected, Ariana ignored Theodore’s message but responded to her other friends’ texts.
After responding to each message, she went back to the chat with Theodore, but there were still no
new messages. She couldn’t believe he had gone to bed so early.
Maybe he was still working. Huh, it seemed like his work was more important than her!
In a fit of anger, she found herself furiously tapping on her screen. Eventually, she fired off an irate
message, “Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”
Ariana had waited so long that she began to believe Theodore had fallen asleep.
Finally, his indifferent reply came, “It’s late now. You should go to sleep. Don’t stay up late.”
