Chapter 594

Author: Tightrope
Those in the kitchen were still talking. However, Ariel couldn't quite register what they were saying anymore.

Without a sound, she stepped back from the doorway, her expression blank. Moving as if in a daze, she walked silently to the base of the staircase and stopped there.

Her head felt light, her mind drowning in disbelief. Rational thought was quickly smothered by a storm of emotions she could barely control.

She never could have imagined something like this.

After problems began surfacing in her marriage, Ariel had once believed that having a child might help her and Jayson reconcile. She had been waiting—hoping—for the day she would hear the news she was pregnant.

But the days passed, and her hopes never came true.

She had always known conceiving might be difficult because of her frail health and the injury she'd sustained before. Yet it wasn't impossible. Once her body had fully recovered, pregnancy should have been natural.

What she never imagined was that Jayson himsel

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 661

    Ariel loved children. How could she possibly give up on this baby?"Do you think I owe you an explanation?" she asked.Lowering her gaze, she brushed her hand over her stomach. "You never consider my thoughts before acting. So why should I consult you about my decision?"Jayson's tension spiked. He stared at her. "But this is my baby too.""That's exactly why I don't want it."Ariel looked him squarely in the eyes. This was one of the rare times she was truly biting. Her expression was utterly cold, as if this had nothing to do with her."Jayson, this is the consequence of everything you've done. I won't let a child be born into an unhealthy home."Although this was an excuse she had no choice but to make for her cancer, it was still a fact.Wasn't this cause and effect?He didn't want her to get pregnant, so he gave her medicine to prevent it. Now he wanted her to have the child, so she must obey? Why should everything be dictated by his will?"Does this have anything to do

  • Dead at Heart   Chapter 660

    When Jayson led Ariel out, all eyes naturally followed them. There were too many onlookers to ignore.However, he didn't slow his pace, and he never loosened his grip on her hand.Even after leaving the Sterling Hotel and getting into Jayson's car, Ariel still didn't speak. She knew they would inevitably talk about her pregnancy."Seatbelt," Jayson said, leaning over to help her fasten it. His gaze lingered on her stomach for a few seconds. "Do you want to go home first?"Ariel sat there quietly. "Up to you."Jayson started the engine without hesitation. He didn't ask about her situation with Lucas earlier. "Do you feel any discomfort because of the baby?"Ariel didn't answer.Jayson turned the steering wheel, seemingly unbothered by her silence. A faint, easy smile tugged at his lips. "Your health's never been good. I'll have Dr. Zehnder check on you. We can ease some of the pregnancy symptoms a bit."His voice was low, steady, and patient."I remember you've always loved kid

    Ariel immediately grasped the situation.This was wrong. Being seen coming out of the same room together looked strange.Cecilia narrowed her eyes at Lucas as she approached. "Mr. Sanderson, why didn't you talk to Ariel outside? Why bring her into the room? People could get the wrong idea. You should be thinking about protecting her reputation."Janice snapped back to attention. Frowning, she retorted, "They're siblings. Who'd get the wrong idea about them? Aren't you overthinking this, Ms. Pryce?"Cecilia smiled lightly and didn't dwell on that topic. "Sorry, I was just looking out for Ariel. That's all. By the way, Ariel, I heard from Ms. Johnstone that you're pregnant. Congratulations."Lucas, who had just been looking relaxed, suddenly stiffened.Ariel's expression shifted as well.Wendy?Ariel looked at Cecilia, surprised that she knew about her pregnancy. Even worse, she had revealed it in front of Jayson.Janice's emotions were clear on her face.With Ariel's pregnancy

    Upon hearing Jayson's name, Ariel lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds.The WhatsApp call with Janice had already been dropped due to poor connection.…At the main hall, when Janice spotted Jayson, a few people noticed him too.Cecilia arrived around the same time. After chatting briefly with a few guests, she made her way straight over.Jayson didn't pay attention to anyone else. He just asked Janice, "Where's Ariel?"Janice didn't know either.But one of the waiters, suddenly seeming to remember something upon seeing Jayson and Janice, pointed down the left hallway. "Are you looking for Ms. Walker? She went to Room 3007."Jayson glanced in that direction.At that moment, Cecilia reached his side. "Mr. Larkin, Ms. Swanson, why aren't Ms. Walker and Mr. Hockney here?"However, Jayson was already heading toward the lounge area on the left. He didn't spare anyone else a second glance. Right now, all he cared about was confirming Ariel's pregnancy. Nothing else matter

    Networking meant drinking, at least a little, so Janice had asked the waiter to prepare non-alcoholic drinks for Ariel to pass off as cocktails.Janice, on the other hand, made her way around the room with a glass of wine in hand.By the time she circled back, her head was spinning. "We managed to trade a few contacts. Doors are opening. Not bad. At least we gain something tonight."Ariel passed her a glass of water and patted her back. "Alright, take it easy now."Janice waved it off, rubbing her temples. "I'm fine. I just need the restroom. I'll be right back."As Ariel watched her go, worry tugged at her.The moment she turned back, she caught sight of Lucas across the room.When he saw Ariel, he was clinking glasses and chatting with others, yet his gaze landed on her.Just as he started toward her, Ariel turned away as if she hadn't noticed and slipped in another direction.That stopped him in his tracks.But Lucas kept his eyes fixed on her retreating back. His lips wer

    Jayson stared at Ariel's back in the photo.There was even a photo of her with her head lowered as she rested a hand on her flat stomach.Her face wasn't visible, but that one gesture said everything.Jayson felt a tide rising in his chest, creeping into his whole body and leaving him with a deep, unshakable ache.For once, his usually steady mind was a mess. By the time he realized it, he was already on his feet with his phone in hand, calling Ariel.He didn't even care why she hadn't told him. None of the questions mattered. All he knew was that Ariel was carrying his child.Seeing Jayson suddenly bolt toward the door, Arthur hurried after him. "Mr. Larkin, you still have a few important meetings today. Should I reschedule?"He had read the email too. He knew what Jayson was feeling right now."Yeah, reschedule them all," Jayson said, striding forward with the phone pressed to his ear.Arthur knew that Jayson had something far more important to deal with right now.But when
