Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 351

That night, Mr. and Mrs. White were sleepless. Neither of them got a good rest.

Gilbert was constantly recalling the words Lambert had said in the study tonight.

Originally, according to his inner thoughts, Lambert should not be angry. Even if he was a bit uncomfortable, his current net worth was not low, and he probably wouldn't desperately cling to the White Corporation. Furthermore, he could tell Lambert's feelings for his daughter were genuine. Considering Lambert's mentality, he could perceive that Lambert wouldn't care about these family assets.

Otherwise, he would have misjudged him. Then those evidences of good relations with Ariana would probably also be his pretenses.

What he had never considered, however, was that—

Lambert wasn't angry about the White family's wealth but felt discontented for Ariana.

Those words deeply silenced Gilbert.

He didn't know whether he should be astonished by the profound feelings between Lambert and Ariana, or feel complex and guilty. Yes, he felt guilty.

He would have never considered it if Lambert hadn't brought it up.

But with him saying it...

He suddenly realized that his decision was indeed unfair to Ariana. Even though Ariana was better off than Jane and Kiara, he deprived her of what belonged to her because Ariana was currently doing better in all respects. It was a bit excessive... It's just like you can't assume that if someone's strong, they wouldn't care. It made him think about how he had ignored Ariana for Jane over these years.

He felt somewhat guilty...

However, this guilt could not overshadow his parental love for Jane.

For all these years, even though Jane was not Gilbert's biological daughter, because of the immense amount of effort he had put into her, this bond often felt deeper than blood ties.

So, he comforted himself with the thought that Ariana, being so understanding now, would certainly forgive him.

Jane is her younger sister, after all.

Georgia's situation was much more complicated. She instantly became bewildered when she learned what her husband had discussed with their son-in-law in the study. Especially after hearing what Lambert had said, she couldn't help feeling guilty and mortified. However, just like Gilbert, she couldn't bear to let Jane fend for herself despite many years of care and affection being initially borne from sympathy.

Therefore, she hoped that things would get better once Ariana delivered the baby. She would then understand the dilemma of being a mother.

And they would understand her as well.

...

Two months had passed, and Ariana's belly was now seven months along, soon eight.

Because this period was crucial, Lambert took extra care.

Even when Ariana had to use the restroom, he would wait outside for her.

Lambert was left speechless.

Unable to do anything, Lambert replied, "The company has been pretty busy lately, but I'm trying to get everything done as soon as possible and stay home with Ariana."

Jolene sighed, "You're just trying to deceive your mother. Ariana is so well-behaved, always enduring your negligence. Don't you think I know what kind of person you are? Anyway, enough said, just be mindful. Remember to come back home for dinner tonight. I've made some of Ariana's favorite dishes to give her a change of taste. How's the cook that the old lady sent from our house? Is Ariana used to his cooking?"

Lambert remained silent. For the first time, he began to doubt whether this was his mother or his mother-in-law.

It was outrageous. Anyone who didn't know any better would probably think that his mom was actually Ariana's biological mother.

Even though he was a bit helpless, Lambert felt quite pleased in his heart. He appreciated the way his mother cared for and protected Ariana. Despite feeling a bit aggrieved, his tone was mostly light-hearted. Lambert said, "The cook is not bad. However, Ariana hasn't been feeling very well recently as it's getting closer to the delivery. By the way, I plan to move back to our family home for the last month or so. I can't provide much for Ariana, so I'll have to trouble you, Mom."

Upon hearing these words, Jolene was overjoyed.

Every time she gently suggested that Lambert and Ariana stay at their house, it needed a lot of persuasion to make them stay for one night. She had understood that Lambert and Ariana didn't want to return because of a previous incident with the old man, so she didn't pressure them much. But she always hoped that they would return.

There were more people to take care of them at the main house, and it would be safer for Ariana's baby.

After all, this was the first great-grandchild of the Stone family. The old man and old lady gave it a lot of importance. Therefore, she would feel much more at ease if they lived at the Stone Family's house.

Now that her son was finally willing to move, she was thrilled. After hanging up the call, she immediately shared the news with Hugh and Old Mr. Stone.
