Chapter 4
This smile used to send excitement through Ariana’s body in the past. But now, she hated it. She lowered her eyes so he wouldn't see the resentment in her eyes.
Oblivious to the real reason, Jasper felt that she was unhappy because of what happened last night. He apologized softly. “I’m sorry about what happened, Aria. The wine intoxicated me. | didn’t mean to be rough with you.”
Ariana forced a smile. “Okay, it’s fine.” She then made up an excuse so she could leave the cubicle immediately.
When she got to the dining room, she saw that Darian was already seated at the table. He was a stern man who rarely smiled. After Ariana greeted him, he only nodded slightly. He exuded a cold and uncaring aura.
On the other hand, Sharon, Theodore’s stepmother, was enthusiastic. She was Jasper’s biological mother, so she probably knew about his plan. It was the only logical explanation for her excessive warmth and friendliness.
Ariana felt uncomfortable throughout breakfast.
Once they were done eating, Darian took her to the private hospital owned by the Anderson family.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Jasper came along. When Ariana was being ushered into the operating room, he gave her a knowing look. Ariana took the hint.
She smiled to assure him that she hadn't forgotten the plan. But the moment she turned around, her smile vanished. She walked into the operating room with a cold face.
Fear slowly crept into her heart at this time. But when she remembered how Jasper was making love to her stepsister and how he had betrayed her, she gritted her teeth and balled her fists. She was hell-bent on getting revenge and taking back what rightfully belonged to her@
The insemination took about an hour. Ariana, whose face was pale, was wheeled out in a wheelchair. The doctor took off his mask and said to Darian, “Everything went well, Mr. Anderson. Now, we have to wait for about a month to confirm if it is successful.”
Jasper’s face darkened as soon as he heard this.
In contrast, Darian’s usually cold face lit up with a smile. Even a blind man could see that he was pleased with the news. He looked at Ariana with an expression of satisfaction. Afterward, he ordered one of his drivers to drive her and Jasper back home.
On the way, Jasper’s face was red with anger. Several green veins became visible on his forehead and temples, but he didn’t utter a word.
Ariana didn’t bother speaking to him. She looked out of the window, lost in thought.
Once they got out of the car, Jasper flipped out. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the garden to give her a piece of his mind.
“What the hell, Ariana! | thought we agreed that you would ruin the operation. Why didn’t you do so?” Jasper growled.
As far as Ariana was concerned, she didn’t owe this backstabber an explanation. He disgusted her. She shook off his hand and said coldly, “Mind the way you speak to me, Jasper. I'm your sister-in-law now!”
Jasper held his head and let out an angry laugh. He kicked the tree nearby. “What did you just say? Are you fucking kidding me?”
Ariana’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his bloodshot eyes. She spun on her heels, but Jasper pulled her back.
“Did | tell you to leave? Don’t even dare walk out on me, Ariana! I’m not done speaking to you!” Sparks of fury burned in Jasper’s eyes.
Ariana was both scared and annoyed. She tried to break free while glaring at him. “Let go of me!”
