"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."

"It is a little complicated." Ariana was at a loss for words and felt a headache coming on. She couldn't 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."
