Let's not talk about others, even Ariana herself has no plans to have a child right now.
She hadn't even graduated yet, and the company had just started. Having a child would complicate matters. Therefore, considering her own situation, Ariana thinks similarly for Allison. Allison has not graduated either. Having a child all of a sudden could potentially lead to regret if not handled well.
Of course, temporarily dropping out to have the baby is an option too.
But a newborn baby can't be away from its mother. Once the baby is born, it will probably become even more attached to Allison.
Going back to school seems impossible then.
So, this timing of pregnancy is really not good. But to have an abortion seems a bit too brutal. Besides, Allison would never agree. After all, aborting the first baby seems to cause a lot of harm to the mother's body. So, with neither of these options feasible, Ariana was immediately annoyed!
She felt all of this was Stefan's fault!
He could have waited two or three years, but he chose now! He is simply a scum!
When Lambert heard his wife's words, he didn't defend his own brother but agreed saying, "Yes, he is indeed scum." After all, good husbands like him are quite rare. It's normal that Stefan couldn't match him.
Ariana has no idea that Lambert is self-boasting in his heart.
Right now, she was so furious that she just wanted to find Stefan and beat him up.
But beating him up wouldn't reverse time. The urgent matter right now is how to solve this. Upon this thought, Ariana quickly raised her head and looked at Lambert, saying, "What did Stefan say? You're his friend, he must have told you. Quick, tell me the truth."
Lambert chuckled but went along with Ariana's words to answer.
He said, "Stefan intends to have the child."
Ariana snorted coldly, "And after having the baby? Does Allison become a housewife? What about her studies? I knew it, Stefan was not a dependable person. It's all my fault, I should not have introduced such a stealthy scumbag to Allison!"
At first, Lambert agreed with his wife, but soon he found it impossible to keep up.
Unable to help but laugh, he said, "Ari, it seems you have misunderstood something."
Ariana looked up, staring blankly at Lambert, not understanding the meaning of his words.
With a sigh, Lambert said, "The Morris family's business is one of the leading corporations in our country, with significant influence in the city. Even after Allison graduates and marries Stefan, she will not need to work. In fact, she won't even need to work in Stefan's company. Her sole responsibility will be socializing with other ladies of her status, attending flower arrangements, music sessions, or afternoon tea events. She won't need to do anything else."
Ariana was stunned by these words.
She had never considered this possibility. In the previous life, her mother made no such explanations due to favoring her other daughter, and in this life, before her mother had the chance, the White family has succumbed to a series of crises, including her marriage to Lambert.
All of this had pushed Ariana towards the position of the White Corporation's heiress, and thus, no one mentioned these things to her.
Unlike her, Allison has older and younger brothers, she will not inherit any business.
She softly responded, "Thank you. But don't worry; I won't let you starve. We can arrange for the cook from our house to come over, what do you think?"
Lambert nodded seriously, saying, "I think that's a great idea."
As long as Ariana didn't cook, everything was negotiable. Plus, the cook from her father's house was a good chef.
With this understanding, the two cheerfully decided on their future life. They were both pleased with their conversation that day. Except, of course, for Lambert's father-in-law and mother-in-law. If they knew that their beloved daughter was planning to pry away their cook of over a decade, they might disown her!
…
Even though Ariana's nervousness about Allison's pregnancy and her anger towards Stefan had lessened somewhat after chatting with Lambert, she still needed to ask Allison about her future plans.
So, she directly dialed Allison's number.
Upon seeing Ariana's call, Allison was momentarily stunned.
Though she had a bad feeling, she picked up the phone despite her guilt.
Immediately after, Allison heard Ariana's cold tone.
She said, "Allison, I hear you've been keeping a secret from me."
