Chapter: 800

Theodore’s spirits were lifted by his accomplishments. Yet, just then. his phone interrupted the pleasant

scene.

Noticing Horace’s name on the screen, he frowned.

Why would Horace call him now? Didn’t he make it clear that it was his day off?

Theodore’s frown deepened. Horace had left to collect the test report earlier. Could there be an issue

with it?

Alarmed, Theodore promptly took the call.

Horace, however, offered Little information over the phone. He simply stated he was downstairs and

requested Theodore to join him.

Judging by his tone, Theodore sensed the report held disconcerting news, his worry creasing his brow

further.

“Anything wrong? Who’s on the line?” Ariana queried.

Snapping back to the present, Theodore quickly composed himself.

“Horace. I need to step out for a moment. Enjoy your meal,” he reassured her, picking up his jacket

before stepping out.

Once Theodore had departed, Ariana, with a thoughtful expression on her face, put down her fork and

reached for her glass of water.

The meal was overly salty. Had Theodore lingered a moment longer, the saltiness would’ve

overwhelmed her.

Based on Theodore’s recent attempts at cooking, his dishes veered between bland and excessively

salty. Her praise was designed to stoke his enthusiasm, not to critique his culinary prowess

She understood that Theodore was a novice in the kitchen with potential for growth. With a little more

encouragement, Theodore might soon become the household’s designated chef. All she’d have to do

then was sit back and savor the meals.

Theodore, who’d hastily exited, made his way downstairs and slid into the car, addressing Horace

directly, “What’s the urgency? Why are you calling me down?”

Horace remained silent, his expression grave. He extended a report to Theodore.

Skimming through the medical test data, Theodore’s heart pounded.

Breaking the silence, Horace announced, “The tested components are indeed a health supplement.”

He paused briefly before adding, “But it’s a prenatal supplement, not vitamin Cc.”

Theodore faltered, grappling with disbelief. Was he mishearing things?

He asked in a trembling voice, “Are you certain there’s no mix-up with the report?”

Horace adjusted his glasses, his tone unyielding. “Boss, there’s no mistake. The test indicates prenatal

medications.”

A shadow spread across Theodore’s face as he flipped through the medical report before him.

It was a tough pill to swallow, but the contents of the report were undeniable. Several of the ingredients

Listed were renowned for their use in staving off miscarriages. The report was irrefutable.

Horace sat, silent, avoiding Theodore’s gaze. Ariana’s audacity took him aback. Her secret pregnancy

was one thing, but the deception added another layer.
