But Theodore decided to let her sleep in peace.

He then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep himself.

The next morning, Ariana woke up in a daze.

Staring at the chandelier above, she wracked her brain for what had happened and where she was.

She had no such chandelier in her room.

Then, all of a sudden, her memory flooded back to her. She hit her forehead with the palm of her hand. She had fallen asleep while trying to put Alina to bed.

Sitting up, she pulled the quilt up to cover her body. But Theodore was nowhere to be seen.

She was surprised. Why hadn't he thrown her out last night?

Next to her, Alina was still fast sleep. She stroked her head Lovingly and her mind wandered to the possible baby she was carrying.

“I need to go for an examination in two weeks," she muttered to herself.

This thought brought with it mixed feelings. Now she wasn't sure whether she wanted a baby or not. It seemed that neither Theodore nor Helen wanted her to have the baby.

With a sigh, her mind focused back on the present. She leaned over Alina and tucked her in before getting out of the bed herself. She needed to go to her room and freshen up.

"Mrs. Anderson, you might be pregnant. You better be careful," she warned her, earnestly.

“Judy, it's not what it looks like. We didn't. explained, her cheeks flushed. Ariana hurriedly

"I know. I know. Just be careful." Judy interrupted her with a knowing look.

"It's a good thing Mr. Anderson is willing to be close to you now. It's progress. Keep it up."

The sound of a wheelchair approaching came from behind her as she spoke.

Theodore appeared by the elevator, his handsome face expressionless. He was wearing a matching shirt and sweater, a pile of documents resting on his thighs. He was clearly busy with work.
