Semua Bab Dead at Heart: Bab 821 - Bab 830

As Jayson's mother, Evelyn couldn't help feeling a little reluctant and disappointed about the decision he had made.Still, she knew Jayson well enough to understand that trying to change his mind was pointless.Renee, who was sitting beside Evelyn, glanced around the room before speaking up, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "Mrs. Walker Senior, did you and Mr. Walker come here today to ask my brother and Ariel to get a divorce?"That seemed to her like the only reasonable explanation. Why else would Katie and Leonard be invited to Larkin Manor so suddenly?Her question broke the silence, bringing up the topic everyone had been avoiding.Betty's expression darkened. Jayson had arranged today's gathering, and even she didn't know what he had planned. But Renee's words unsettled her—what if she was right?If Jayson really meant to announce a divorce because he couldn't accept Ariel's infertility, Betty wasn't sure how she would face the Walkers afterward. The thought d

"Grandma, I'm not joking." Ariel could tell Betty was genuinely worried."Remember how I was accused of having an abortion to get rid of Jayson's child?" she continued.Her words drew a heavy silence. The memory of that lost child had left a scar in everyone's heart.Jayson turned his gaze toward Ariel as well.Ariel looked around the room before continuing, "Jayson managed to save that child. She was transferred into an artificial womb and sent to a medical institution in Nacsall that specialized in this kind of technology to ensure her growth and survival."She was safely 'born' recently. That's our daughter, Claire."For a moment, the room fell completely silent. The couple watched as shock, disbelief, and joy flickered across their family members' faces. Everyone needed time to process the astonishing news.Those from high society had access to advanced technologies that most ordinary people could only dream of.Since none of them were strangers to such privilege, they fo

"Nope. She's in her room calling our friends and relatives, bragging about how pretty her great-granddaughter is, and inviting everyone to come visit."Jayson walked over and stood behind Ariel. He removed the towel wrapped around her hair and began gently drying it.Ariel always took extra care with her hair. She refused to use hairdryers, believing the heat would damage her hair. Instead, she preferred to dry it patiently with a towel before letting it air dry naturally.As she thought about how happy and excited Betty had been earlier, Ariel couldn't help but chuckle.She had grown used to Jayson helping her with her hair. Back when they first got married, he often did it for her—it saved her time and effort. So, she simply let him dry her hair while she applied her skincare products."I only have a few days off. I still need to complete the tasks assigned to me. So, I'll be heading to Bellador in a few days to finish what needs to be done. I should be able to wrap everything u

It was almost four in the morning when Jayson finally completed what he believed to be the perfect design for their wedding invitation. He stared at the laptop screen for a while before checking the dates. Claire would be one month old on the 18th of next month—a day that held extra meaning for their family. If they could speed up the preparations, they might be able to hold the wedding on that very day.Jayson lifted his gaze toward Ariel, who was sleeping with her back to him. After a moment, he began typing on his laptop with a calm expression.He created a digital version of the wedding invitation. Once he finished writing a simple yet informative message, he attached the invitation and sent it to Lucas' work email.When everything was done, Jayson finally went to bed. He gently pulled Ariel into his arms and smiled faintly.…Betty was all for Jayson and Ariel's plan to hold a wedding. Excited, she immediately began thinking about whom to contact and hire to design Ariel'

Ariel didn't give Jayson a chance to respond. She walked away, dragging her suitcase behind her. She was ruthless and direct.Jayson watched her retreating figure. He slowly brushed his fingers over the cream-colored coat belt she had left in his hand, his gaze still fixed on her back.After a moment, he raised his brows and chuckled. He looked down at the belt and tightened his grip around it. Ariel had deliberately left it with him—something to remember her by, or perhaps to stir his imagination.Even Jayson couldn't compete with Ariel when she revealed her mischievous side.Once she disappeared into the airport, Jayson climbed back into his car.Following the incident with Samson and Gustavo in Bellador, the government had made necessary adjustments to the facility's security systems and protocols. With heightened measures in place, they hoped to prevent similar events from recurring.Jayson had also received word that Stanley had dispatched some of his men to monitor Samson
