At this moment, Theodore stopped abruptly. He turned his head and looked at Ariana for a long moment. His intense gaze made Ariana uncomfortable. Finally, he spoke.

"Will you... leave me?"

Before Ariana could answer, he grabbed her hand tightly as he stared deep into her eyes.

“Will we be together forever?" he asked anxiously.

Ariana was really puzzled. She looked at him confusedly and asked, “What's wrong? Why do you say that all of a sudden?”

Theodore didn't answer her right away. He stared at her and said stubbornly, "I just want an answer."

Thinking of the babies in her womb, Ariana wanted to say something but hesitated.

Little did Ariana know that those seconds of hesitation affected Theodore so much that his eyes darkened. However, she soon said, “As long as we love each other, we will always be together."

No sooner had she said that than Theodore pulled her into his arms.

He held her tightly, gently stroking the back of her neck with his large palm. He buried his head in the crook of her neck and said in a low voice, "We will. We will always Love each other and we will always be together."

Ariana felt a little puzzled, but she realized she'd had the same attitude when she felt insecure before. So, she gently stroked his back.

When they returned home later that day, Theodore was very silent.

He observed Ariana from head to toe and it was only then that he realized that she was really pregnant.

It was small things she did that made him believe she was pregnant. For example, when they had dinner, she unconsciously shielded her lower abdomen. She didn't touch any food that had been cooked with red wine.

Also, there were a lot of non-slip mats at home, and even her favorite snacks had all disappeared, replaced by several nutritious foods.

Although he had figured it out, Theodore said nothing. That night, as Ariana lay sound asleep next to him, he gazed at her silently for a moment. Then, he leaned over and kissed her softly.

The next second, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Ariana's abdomen. Her belly was slightly swollen, and he could even feel a faint pulsation.

It was his own flesh and blood growing inside her.

Theodore's heart was suddenly overwhelmed with indescribable emotions.

The woman he loved was now pregnant with his child. He had never expected that such a day would come.
