Chapter: 795

Despite Theodore and Darian’s strained relations reaching a breaking point, Theodore’s affiliation with

the Anderson Group was unshakeable.

Should the group crumble, Theodore would undoubtedly face repercussions. Aside from him, everyone

who worked here was shackled to this shared destiny.

What if desperation drove Darian to harm Theodore?

Watching the crowd swell, Ariana brushed aside her perturbing thoughts and resolved to return home.

Simultaneously, Adrian stepped into the elevator, his expression unaltered. As soon as the doors slid

shut, he promptly pulled out his phone, his fingers dancing on the screen.

“I spotted your wife at the Anderson Group. I couldn‘t help but notice a certain roundness to her figure.

Could she be expecting? Are you soon to be a father? Get back to me quickly! I am curious! Are you

indeed about to embrace fatherhood?”

Theodore’s retort was instant. “Mind your business!”

Atop the BRD Group’s building.

A crease of annoyance formed on Theodore’s forehead as he read Adrian’s message.

A mental image of Ariana surfaced, coaxing a fond smile onto his face.

Indeed, she seemed to have filled out a little recently. However, he considered it a positive

development. Her prior thinness was a matter of concern, and now she radiated a charming aura with

her added fullness.

When she was slender, her waist was devoid of any softness. He often harbored the absurd worry that

a sudden gust could carry her away.

Her weight gain was subtle, barely noticeable unless he paid extra attention. He only truly registered

the change when he cradled her in his arms.

This line of thought led him to question how Adrian discerned Ariana’s slight weight gain.

His smile evaporated instantaneously, replaced by a frown.

Picking up his phone, he retorted, “My wife, in any shape or form, is stunning. Sadly for you, she

belongs to me. Do you have a wife?”

Adrian, upon reading Theodore’s comeback, was rendered speechless. He shot back with an ellipsis, a

rolling eyes emoji, and a grumbling remark, “Childish.”

Just as Theodore was about to counter, a cough reverberated in the room, followed by a stern, elderly

voice, “We seldom convene like this Please set aside your distractions and turn off your mobile device.”

Theodore promptly settled into his chair, placing his phone on the table and rubbing his forehead.

“Grandpa.”

Aldus grumbled in response, “You impertinent lad, why haven’t you visited me? I journeyed all the way

from Mistlyn, and you didn’t even bring my granddaughter-in-lLaw to meet me.”

A look of helplessness clouded Theodore’s features. He wasn’t prepared to disclose his true identity to

Ariana, while Aldus was eager to formally acquaint himself with her.

Noticing Aldus’s brewing irritation, Theodore had no choice but to placate him, “I’ll arrange a visit soon.”

Aldus, however, was not easily appeased. He demanded, “I wish to meet her at once.”

Without further ado, he retrieved his phone and dialed a number.

“Grandpa, wait!”
