All Chapters of Dead at Heart: Chapter 651 - Chapter 660

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

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

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

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

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
