Chapter: 577
Ariana’s heart ached, and her stomach churned once again.
She pushed aside her troubling thoughts and hurriedly made her way to the bathroom, unaware that
after she departed, the waiter who had delivered the food had quietly returned and locked the room
door. ©
When Ariana reached the bathroom, the discomfort in her stomach had significantly eased. She
glanced at her pale reflection in the mirror and retrieved a ed lipstick from her bag to touch up her
makeup.
Feeling relieved that her stomach was no longer causing her distress, she began to question whether
she should return to the private room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe realized she had become deeply entangled in her relationship with Theodore and found it difficult
to resist him. His every action had an impact on her.
Despite being aware that he had kept many things hidden from her, she couldn’t help but think in his
favor and make excuses for him.
She believed he might be facing insurmountable difficulties, and she didn’t want to abandon him.
However, she wasn’t willing to reconcile with him under these circumstances. She refused to be
manipulated any longer. Until he honestly revealed everything to her, she didn’t want her emotions to
be controlled by him.
Ariana feared that her negative emotions would affect the baby growing inside her.
Her emotions had already caused her stomach pain today.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she took a deep breath. She decided not to return to the private
room and let this birthday be filled with regrets.
With her bag slung over her shoulder, she stealthily navigated the corridor, ensuring no one was
around, and made her way to the fire exit. She avoided using the elevator, fearing that she might
encounter Theodore’s men.
The parking lot on the first floor served as the mansion’s rear entrance. Glancing back at the direction
of the second-floor restaurant, Ariana felt a pang of guilt. She had promised Theodore she would retum
and ask him to wait for her before leaving.
Recalling the obedient look in his eyes when he nodded, Ariana wavered.
However, she quickly reminded herself to stay rational. Theodore had lied to her multiple times, and
one lie from her wouldn’t be a big deal.

The Blue Night Manor stood in the heart of the bustling city center, prone to traffic congestion. Ariana
struggled to flag down a taxi along the roadside, but after an extended period of time, she reluctantly
resorted to taking a bus.
As she arrived at the bus station, a sense of unease weighed heavily on her mind.
She couldn’t decipher if it was due to her guilt for deceiving Theodore.
After a prolonged wait, the bus finally arrived. Just as Ariana was about to board, a sudden exclamation
caught her attention. A girl’s voice echoed through the air, “Oh my god! Look! It’s on fire!”
All heads tumed towards the source of the commotion— a distant blaze consuming a structure.
Ariana stood frozen, her heart racing uncontrollably.
“It appears that the Blue Night Manor is on fire.”
