Chapter 598

Author: Tightrope
Samson's carefree attitude caught Ariel off guard for a moment.

He didn't lower his voice when he said that, meaning the people at the table could easily hear him.

Even Gary couldn't help but look up. After a moment's consideration, he finally said, "Samson, you and Ariel seem pretty close."

He didn't know much about these younger folks' personal lives, but Samson's tone did sound intimate.

Jayson's eyes stayed on Ariel, calm as ever. He tilted his head slightly and said to Gary, "Yeager Group has business dealings with Faye Tech."

Gary blinked, realization dawning.

Samson glanced at Jayson, then chuckled, as if belatedly realizing what he had done. "Yeah, Yeager Group and Faye Tech do interact a lot. Being around the same age, we naturally grew closer over time."

Ariel didn't really understand why Samson had called her "Ari". But given the special occasion today, if she chose to sit with Samson, people would naturally wonder why she and Jayson seemed so distant as a couple.

    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

    Wendy wasn't exactly sure either. It was undeniably strange that Ariel had decided to get an abortion yet was keeping it a secret from Jayson.Wendy knew she had to make sure Ariel no longer had any chance of swaying Lucas. She needed to come up with a perfect, foolproof plan.On the other hand, Cecilia's head shot up the instant she heard those words. She failed to mask her reaction—her face revealed utter shock.Ariel was pregnant with Jayson's child!Cecilia had never paid much attention to the matter before, since Jayson and Ariel hadn't had children even after being married for several years. But now, it felt as though alarm bells were blaring in her head.Neither Wendy nor Lori noticed the fleeting expression on Cecilia's face.Meanwhile, Lori felt slightly relieved. More often than not, she shared the same opinions as Wendy on certain issues.She was about to continue the conversation when Cecilia suddenly rose to her feet. Her face was expressionless as she said, "I just

    Wendy felt a chill run through her body. There could only be one reason Lucas had suddenly decided to call off the wedding. To her, it didn't feel like a mere coincidence that both Lucas and Ariel were making such abrupt decisions.Wendy clenched her fists tightly for a long while before leaving quietly, careful not to let Ariel notice she had been there.The biggest issue now was that Jayson seemed to have no idea that Ariel was pregnant and planning to get an abortion.For a moment, Wendy's ashen face went blank as she fell deep into thought.Lucas finally stopped staring at the floor above when he noticed Wendy approaching. Taking in her slightly pale face, he said, "I'll send you back first."Wendy bit her lip and looked straight at him. "I lost my child. Lucas, you owe me for what happened."His steps halted, and a faint frown appeared on his forehead. He couldn't deny her words—they were true.During their argument the other day, Wendy had used the child as leverage to thr

    After completing the first round of testing, Ariel carefully stored the classified data. On the way back to base, her mind wandered.So, Jayson had finally decided to be honest and share his true thoughts?The absurdity of it all still left her unsettled.She never imagined Jayson had kept those questions bottled up for so long, never once asking her directly. Instead, they had spent the past few years locked in a strained, awkward relationship.On her laptop, Ariel had saved countless things over the years. She had developed an interest in astronomy during her adolescence. She also loved photography, saving money bit by bit to buy equipment. She would capture fleeting moments of her life and store them away.In time, even she had forgotten much of what was on that laptop.Yet those very files had fueled Jayson's misunderstandings, leaving behind invisible scars in their relationship.Ariel closed her eyes and drew a long breath.Maybe all of this was a sign. Perhaps she and Ja

    Jayson had mustered all his courage when he asked Ariel that question. He no longer wanted them to waste time doubting each other's thoughts or intentions.If it had been in the past—when Lucas was still a man worthy of her—Jayson might have accepted Ariel choosing him. But after seeing the things Lucas had done, he could no longer stand the thought.The sudden news about Lucas and Wendy possibly calling off their wedding caught Jayson completely off guard.Ariel had once told him clearly that she no longer loved Lucas and was severing ties with him. Yet Lucas had remained the root of Jayson's insecurities for years. At a moment like this, it was impossible for him to remain calm and unaffected.Ariel never imagined she would see this side of him. It was as if Jayson had cast aside all pretense, exposing his most vulnerable self.He held her wrist firmly, pressing her back against the glass wall behind her, trapping her in the corner."Let go of me first." Ariel caught the subtle

    When Jayson had first discovered the truth, he was both upset and infuriated. The thought that Ariel might not love him was unbearable. Still, he kept those emotions locked inside.The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. Yet he couldn't bring himself to question Ariel and risk making things awkward between them.His only solution was to leave on a four-month business trip, during which he stayed in Lockewin for quite some time.A photograph of Jayson and Ariel from their wedding day sat on his office desk—the only picture they had ever taken together.Once, in a moment of overwhelming emotion, he had thrown the frame away. But later, he retrieved it and placed it back on his desk, unable to let it go.He spent a long time thinking.Ariel had only married him because of others' schemes.
