Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 331

In the past, Allison always complained about not being able to go anywhere due to her pregnancy, but Ariana dismissed it as pregnancy mood swings, thinking this woman didn't realize how lucky she was to be able to rest all day.

She had to deal with so many things daily which resulted in lethal exhaustion.

But now, being pregnant herself, Ariana finally understood the pain Allison was referring to...

Indeed...

It was quite stifling.

At first, Ariana thought it was fine, not having to do anything as others took care of everything for her. Isn't this a queen's treatment?

But after a few days, Ariana didn't see it that way anymore.

Can you imagine how it feels to have someone anxiously watching you even when you go to pour yourself a cup of water?

Because of her pregnancy, Georgia and her mother-in-law started visiting more frequently. Sometimes, Ariana would go back home to the White Family's house or reside at the Stone family for a few days. After all, if she always declined, it would look bad, her elders always saying so. And not wanting to disappoint her elders led her to...

Being treated like a fragile doll.

Ariana sighed at the thought, a headache starting to form. Fortunately, these days, Lambert often brought documents home which she could help with to pass the time. Otherwise, she would have gone crazy!

Today, she was still at the Stone family's house.

Her beloved mother-in-law, Jolene, was busy in the kitchen, making a nutritional soup for her.

Ariana spent a long time dissuading her, but Jolene ignored her, so she had to let her do it.

At this moment, her phone rang. Ariana picked it up subconsciously. A deep and familiar male voice came from the other side. The voice gently said, "Ariana."

Ariana paused momentarily.

She was slightly silent before a hint of surprise crept into her voice. "Senior?"

Upon hearing that familiar address, even though Griffin had grown accustomed to it, a hint of bitter sadness still surfaced in his eyes. He responded softly, "Yes, it's me."

Ariana was immediately silent.

She was unsure why Griffin had called her.

After allowing a brief moment of melancholy, Griffin regained his composure. He subtly said, "Ariana, you had to cancel our previously agreed afternoon tea due to some matters. I was wondering if you had time today? I apologize, I understand my presence might invite trouble for you. I promise, this would be the last time."

He was acutely aware that he perhaps no longer fit into Ariana's life. Not after what happened last time.

But he couldn't help himself.

He just couldn't...

Of course, he wasn't hopeful to change anything. He simply wanted to, just wanted to see Ariana one last time. After today, he was scheduled to go abroad. If nothing unexpected happened, he might not return. But of course, it was unpredictable. Regardless, he might never appear before Ariana again. As long as she was doing fine, he'd be content.

Griffin didn't want Ariana to experience any turmoil because of him.

He... still hoped that she could find happiness.

Ariana was left without a rebuttal...

She said helplessly, "Mom, I am not that delicate. I'll be careful, okay? This is important, a friend needs me and he's leaving the country tomorrow."

After hearing this, Jolene's face showed a touch of difficulty.

Like she's still worrying about the child.

Ariana silently looked at her, eyes filled with anticipation. In the end, Jolene couldn't resist the plea in Ariana's eyes. With a reluctant nod, she agreed, saying “Fine, but you have to come back early, understand? I’ll have the driver take you. He’ll be waiting outside, and he can let us know immediately if anything happens.”

Ariana: "…Alright."

After some thought, Jolene suddenly felt unsure and immediately insisted, “Why don’t we get you some bodyguards too? Then, I can rest easy.”

Ariana: “...”

Oh gosh, how could she go out if she had to be chaperoned by bodyguards? While Ariana found it laughable, she also understood that her mother-in-law was only worried about her. Although she was very helpless, she still gently replied, “That’s alright, there’s no need to worry. I'll return to the car after meeting my friend, and the driver will take me home.”

Jolene pressed her lips together, seemingly still in a struggle.

Ariana really didn’t know how else to talk to her mother-in-law. She could only silently wish in her heart that she wouldn’t have to deal with this once the baby is born... It truly felt like a torture.

Fortunately, in the end, under Jolene's nagging, Ariana finally managed to leave.

She asked the driver to take her to where she planned to meet with Griffin. Seeing that she could not stop Ariana, Jolene turned her focus on the driver, reminding him of a long list of instructions that left him in a daze. He quietly thought to himself, it really is different when a wealthy family has a pregnant woman. They are all so protective even though there isn’t any noticeable bump yet.
