Chapter 669

Author: Tightrope
Janice knew Ariel and Jayson needed their space, and she wouldn't intrude.

Janice's voice lingered in his mind. Jayson didn't respond for a long while.

Over the past couple of days, he had hardly slept, rushing from one task to the next just to get back as quickly as possible.

He had expected Ariel to wait for him before making her final decision, and at the very least, respect him as the father of their child.

But no matter how fast he rushed, he still missed the moment she made her decision.

It seemed she never intended to wait, and she wasn't giving him even the slightest chance.

Ariel woke from anesthesia sooner than expected. When she opened her eyes, she sensed someone at her side.

She turned and met Jayson's pale face. He had been sitting by her bedside for who knew how long without any expression. His emotions were tightly restrained.

A sudden buzz ran through Ariel's mind.

Her body felt hollow, and the subtle connection to life inside her was gone. She understood imme

    Alicia noticed the bright smile on Janice's face. She beamed as she held out the carefully chosen gifts, waiting for Janice to accept them. But her words cut into Janice's heart like a knife.Janice subconsciously glanced at Wade, who stood just behind Alicia. It turned out he had forgotten her birthday. Somehow, it had ended up with Alicia preparing a gift on Wade's behalf.Even after a while, Janice still didn't reach out to take the gifts.Alicia looked puzzled and slightly embarrassed. Glancing around awkwardly, she asked in a soft voice, "Do you not like them?"Wade immediately sensed Alicia's discomfort. After all, she had gone to the trouble of picking out those gifts, and Janice's hesitation was making things awkward.He looked at Janice. "Allie spent a lot of time choosing those. You should take them. She even prepared one on my behalf."Moreover, he didn't want Alicia to feel embarrassed in front of everyone. Ariel frowned slightly. To her, Wade's words sounded like

    It was Janice's birthday today. Since they had to deal with work first, they could only plan her birthday celebration later in the day.Janice subconsciously nodded, and then her eyes lit up as a thought crossed her mind. Ariel caught on immediately and raised a brow. "That's right—your fiance is back. Have you two made any plans?"Janice shook her head, her expression dimming. "I haven't heard from him. I'm not even sure if he remembers my birthday."Before Wade went abroad, he used to celebrate Janice's birthday with her every year.Ariel patted her lightly on the head. "He will. Anyway, he's back in Croinia now. Even if he did forget, just remind him and tell him you want to celebrate together."Janice's face brightened. "You're right! It's Sunday anyway—he must be free."Ariel smiled, amused by how quickly Janice's mood turned cheerful again."Have all the guests arrived?" Ariel asked.Janice shook her head. "Nope, but Chad is already talking to some of them in the room."

    Anyone could tell there would be consequences for the stunt certain board members had pulled during the recent board meeting. When Jayson arrived at the office, he happened to run into Shane, who was there on business.Shane instinctively averted his gaze before glancing at Jayson. "Jayson, are you feeling better now?"Jayson entered the elevator. "Thanks for your concern. I've pretty much achieved full recovery.""I didn't get the chance to visit you at the hospital. I've been really busy lately. I hope you don't mind."Shane spoke as if nothing had happened during Jayson's absence.Jayson turned the wedding ring on his finger slowly. His tone was flat. "I understand how busy you are, of course. After all, it must be difficult to gain more power and secure more projects when I'm around."The smile on Shane's face froze, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.Jayson acted as if he hadn't noticed. His calm voice carried a subtle edge. "You might not be up to date with what's bee

    Ariel stared at the table lamp beside her as she imagined what their daughter might look like. Would she resemble her more, or Jayson?People often said daughters tended to take after their fathers.At that thought, Ariel quietly lifted her gaze to study Jayson's side profile again.Even under the dim light, his sharp features stood out clearly. He had a tall, straight nose, and the small mole on the bridge only added to his charm. His double eyelids made his eyes even more captivating, while his slightly pale complexion accentuated the soft red of his lips. Altogether, Jayson's face seemed almost impossibly perfect—like something crafted by divine hands.Ariel had always known that it would be nearly impossible to find another man as handsome as Jayson. If their daughter took after him, she would have no complaints.Her gaze lingered on his face, eventually settling on his lips.A few seconds later, her back stiffened, and she quickly looked away, feeling her ears grow hot.I

    Ariel could tell that Jayson was doing this on purpose. He had deliberately interrupted her meeting just now.She got up and walked over to the bed, deciding to overlook Jayson's "mischievous" behavior. Bending forward, she tugged at his collar to check the area where he had been injured.There was nothing unusual. They no longer needed to change his dressings frequently; Ariel just had to remind him to apply the scar-preventing ointment regularly."Didn't you say you wanted to take a bath? Aren't you getting up?" Ariel's tone remained calm, her expression composed.Jayson narrowed his eyes. "Are you really going to help me with that?""Weren't you the one who said you wanted me to?"Jayson pressed his tongue lightly against his lower gum and leaned comfortably against the pillow. "Did you really think I'm so shameless that I'd make someone who just had major surgery help me bathe? I was only trying to remind you that even though you're feeling better, you still need to rest. You

    This time, Ariel could truly feel Jayson's sincerity. He was the one who had given her new hope.…Jayson's recovery was progressing well. He had always been strong and resilient, which made healing faster for him.That afternoon, Ariel received a message from her department at the base—a notice about her new position.She had just been promoted and would now be leading a team of senior engineers in the research department. There were also follow-up tasks she needed to handle accordingly.Ariel hadn't informed her superiors about her illness or the surgery she had undergone. Their team had been granted a short break after completing the first phase of the project.In less than two weeks, they would begin the second phase of research. By then, she would have rested enough to recover fully. After all, her uterus had been removed through laparoscopic surgery, which required only a small incision and a relatively short healing time.That evening, Ariel took a shower in one of the gu
