Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 351

351 /658

That night, Mr. and Mrs. White were sleepless. Neither of them got a good rest.

Gilbert was constantly recalling the words Lambert had said in the study tonight.

Originally, according to his inner thoughts, Lambert should not be angry. Even if he was a bit uncomfortable, his current net worth was not low, and he probably wouldn't desperately cling to the White Corporation. Furthermore, he could tell Lambert's feelings for his daughter were genuine. Considering Lambert's mentality, he could perceive that Lambert wouldn't care about these family assets.

Otherwise, he would have misjudged him. Then those evidences of good relations with Ariana would probably also be his pretenses.

What he had never considered, however, was that—

Lambert wasn't angry about the White family's wealth but felt discontented for Ariana.

Those words deeply silenced Gilbert.

He didn't know whether he should be astonished by the profound feelings between Lambert and Ariana, or feel complex and guilty. Yes, he felt guilty.

He would have never considered it if Lambert hadn't brought it up.

But with him saying it...

He suddenly realized that his decision was indeed unfair to Ariana. Even though Ariana was better off than Jane and Kiara, he deprived her of what belonged to her because Ariana was currently doing better in all respects. It was a bit excessive... It's just like you can't assume that if someone's strong, they wouldn't care. It made him think about how he had ignored Ariana for Jane over these years.

He felt somewhat guilty...

However, this guilt could not overshadow his parental love for Jane.

For all these years, even though Jane was not Gilbert's biological daughter, because of the immense amount of effort he had put into her, this bond often felt deeper than blood ties.

So, he comforted himself with the thought that Ariana, being so understanding now, would certainly forgive him.

Jane is her younger sister, after all.

Georgia's situation was much more complicated. She instantly became bewildered when she learned what her husband had discussed with their son-in-law in the study. Especially after hearing what Lambert had said, she couldn't help feeling guilty and mortified. However, just like Gilbert, she couldn't bear to let Jane fend for herself despite many years of care and affection being initially borne from sympathy.

Therefore, she hoped that things would get better once Ariana delivered the baby. She would then understand the dilemma of being a mother.

And they would understand her as well.

...

Two months had passed, and Ariana's belly was now seven months along, soon eight.

Because this period was crucial, Lambert took extra care.

Even when Ariana had to use the restroom, he would wait outside for her.
