All Chapters of Dead at Heart: Chapter 841 - Chapter 850

At that moment, Ariel finally understood what Jayson must have felt back then. It must have been despair.After loving her for so many years, he finally married her, yet he thought she loved someone else. Still, he never unleashed his emotions on her and even considered letting her be happy with Lucas.He had prepared so much for her only to keep it all hidden, forcing himself to endure it in silence."You're such an idiot," Ariel murmured.However, she knew that when a person loved someone that deeply, they became fragile. A proud man like Jayson would rather shoulder the pain than tear off the mask and put her in a difficult position.Jayson pinched Ariel's cheeks until her lips puckered, then leaned in to kiss her. It wasn't enough, so he bit her lip lightly before whispering, "Guess that means we're meant to be. No matter how hard anyone tries to break us apart, it won't work. You were destined to marry me and get tangled up with me for life.""Destined?" Ariel arched her bro

The photographer edited and printed the best wedding picture on the spot, handing each of them a copy.Ariel glanced at it.They were sitting side by side. Jayson's expression wasn't the cold, distant one she had imagined. He actually looked quite relaxed.Looking up, she saw Jayson slip the wedding picture into his pocket and glance at her. "The marital home isn't fully renovated yet. Can we stay at my other place for now?"Ariel immediately nodded. "Sure."Jayson opened the car door to get in when his phone rang. It was a work emergency.As he answered, he looked at Ariel. "Go ahead first. Pack your things and move them to my place. I've got some things to take care of."Without giving Ariel a chance to ask questions, he shut the door.Ariel's words got stuck in her throat. She hadn't expected they would have to live together.She had assumed that Jayson wouldn't go so far. At most, they would be a surface-level couple, living separate lives in private. After all, he didn't

Ariel was puzzled. Cloudspire Kitchen's chocolate pudding was the best in Eldoria. Did Jayson have no taste?Well, since she hadn't had enough of it, she promptly accepted it. "I'll take it. Thanks."Jayson hummed in acknowledgment.Then, silence fell again.Ariel thought Jayson really didn't talk much.He had suddenly gotten married, and yet he seemed so calm. Didn't he want to throw a little attitude her way?She still wasn't quite sure what he was thinking.Ariel rehearsed a few times in her mind how to say they could just get through this period, and if he wanted a divorce afterward, she would comply without question.Just as she was about to speak, Jayson set a small box down on the table.Ariel immediately recognized it as a ring box.He looked at her. "This is the wedding ring. If you don't like it, we can get another."She hadn't expected a ring.Judging by his words, it seemed like he had bought it casually without much thought, hence the option to buy another.Sh

Ariel understood the unspoken rules.On her first day, she familiarized herself with a series of tasks fairly quickly.…On the top floor, Jayson twirled his pen and stared at the ring on his finger, barely paying attention to the report given to him. He was lost in thought.Ariel had just graduated and was still young. Could she adapt to the ruthless corporate environment?He wanted her to gain some experience, and the PR department was perfect for that, yet he couldn't help worrying."Mr. Larkin, public opinion about our autonomous driving division has been manipulated by competitors. The PR department has drafted three response plans. Would you like to review them?""PR department?" Jayson looked up and suddenly rose. "No need. I'll talk to Larry in person."The executives were stunned. "In person?"Was it really necessary?Jayson ignored them and headed downstairs.Bluum Corp Tower had two towers connected by a double-helix bridge, and the PR department was in the other

"It's fine. The bed's big enough. You can sleep here," Ariel said.As soon as she finished speaking, Jayson got up and climbed onto the bed. Quietly, he lay down and closed his eyes."Please turn off the lights," he said."...Oh," Ariel replied.She switched off the lights, then lay down. There was a significant distance between them on the bed.She knew Jayson could have any woman he wanted. He wouldn't possibly be interested in her.Surprisingly, she fell asleep without a second thought, even though a living, breathing man was lying right beside her.Jayson turned to look at her. This was infuriating.Did she think he was a gentleman? Did she really think he didn't have any dirty thoughts?He reached out, tempted to pinch her face, but he stopped himself. Instead, he hooked her pinky finger.The touch made his Adam's apple bob, leaving him slightly unsatisfied.Gradually, he took her whole hand in his. It felt slender and soft.Not wanting to wake Ariel, he moved closer a
