From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 339

**TITLE: Her Rise 339**

**Chapter 339: My Wife’s Wonderful**

Ariana’s face contorted into a frown, and she let out a frustrated huff. “Honestly, Zaden, I’ve watched you grow up since you were just a little boy. I can read you like a book. You don’t even have to utter a word for me to know what you’re thinking, so spare me the formalities.”

Zaden could only manage a helpless smile in response.

He hadn’t anticipated that Ariana would remain as bold and straightforward as he remembered.

Back in the days when he and Maya were together, Ariana had always been like this—unabashed and direct. Time had flown by, yet she seemed untouched by the years. But everything else around him had changed drastically.

As he stood there, Zaden found his thoughts drifting back to Preston’s words from their last conversation.

His brows knitted together, and a heavy weight settled in his chest, like a stone dropped into a still pond.

For the past few days, he had been intentionally avoiding the topic, pushing it deep into the recesses of his mind. But now, faced with Ariana’s unwavering gaze, the memories came rushing back.

Noticing Zaden’s distant expression, Ariana’s excitement bubbled up.

There’s still something between Zaden and Maya! If he truly didn’t care about Maya anymore, why was he wearing that expression?

With a sparkle in her eye, she leaned forward eagerly. “Zaden, you have to tell me. Are you absolutely sure there’s no chance for you and Maya to rekindle what you had?”

Pulled from his reverie, Zaden blinked and replied, “Mrs. Ariana, that chapter of my life is behind me. I’m married now, and my wife is truly wonderful.”

His words rang with finality, leaving no room for doubt about his feelings for Maya.

Ariana’s expression fell like a curtain, her brow furrowing as she scrutinized him. “You haven’t really moved on from Maya, have you? If you had, why did you remain single for all those years, only to find someone right before Maya returned?”

“What happened back then was a misunderstanding. Maya never intended to leave you. And yet, didn’t you also have a child with another woman?”

Her voice was insistent, as if trying to untangle the threads of their past. “That makes you even, doesn’t it? You shouldn’t hold a grudge against her any longer.”

“I saw that woman just now,” she continued, her tone dismissive. “To be honest, she’s nothing special. No strong family background, no status. Your mother would never approve of her. But Maya? She’s your equal in every conceivable way…”

Zaden felt his head throb at Ariana’s relentless chatter.

So, Mrs. Ariana had already met Athena?

Her assertion that the rift between Maya and him was merely a misunderstanding echoed Preston’s sentiments, but there was a dissonance between their versions. Perhaps Mrs. Ariana simply didn’t know the full story.

Zaden found himself tangled in a web of confusion. He realized that he needed to delve deeper into this situation.
