Chapter: 773

Theodore’s hand came to rest gently on Ariana’s head; it was a touch meant to quell her simmering nerves, a symbol of his reassuring presence. He leaned in closer, his voice a mere breath against her ear.

“My promise hasn’t slipped my mind,” he assured her softly, “I said I’d introduce you to my mother, remember?” His gaze brimmed with an affection that radiated warmth, even in their chilly surroundings.

Despite the swell of emotions threatening to burst forth, Ariana managed to maintain her composure. She nodded, meeting Theodore’s eyes with her own, affirming their shared understanding.

Together, they stood; their hands interlocked in silent affirmation of their united front. Ariana was braced for whatever drama might unfurl before them. She was resolved to weather every storm, every challenge, by Theodore’s side.

Yet, as she held his hand, she couldn’t ignore the subtle tremor that belied his seeming tranquility. Underneath the surface, a current of unease surged, a secret only she was privy to.

The silence in the crowd was as brittle as thin ice, but Theodore shattered it with a voice as icy as winter. “If anyone wants to go, I’m not going to stand in your way,” he declared.

A ripple of surprise coursed through the gathered guests; glances were exchanged but not one of them dared to move.

They grasped the true nature of the situation; this was a private matter for the Anderson family. The icy warning in Theodore’s words was meant solely for his kin. As the guests bore no grudge against him, they had no cause for alarm.

In the wake of the unfolding spectacle and the surprise arrival of Darian’s ex-wife, curiosity wound itself tightly around each guest, holding them fast. They remained, captivated, desperate to witness the ensuing drama.

Theodore caught sight of their immobilized forms, their silence answering his challenge. With a subtle signal to the priest, he indicated it was time to carry on.

The priest nodded in response to Theodore’s discreet cue. His voice, serene yet commanding, addressed the crowd. “We’re going to deviate from the usual schedule today. Before the prayers, a confession will be made.” His gaze sought out a particular figure, seemingly swallowed by the surrounding crowd.

A gasp echoed through the crowd as bodyguards moved towards Jasper.
