Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 647

After all the hurt and pain Jayson had caused Ariel, it was only fair they made him suffer a little as well.

But Ariel never thought that way. What Janice suggested was nothing more than revenge, and Ariel knew it could only trigger a chain of unwanted consequences.

Even so, Janice's concern wasn't about vengeance—it was about the hardship Ariel might eventually face. If Jayson were to learn they had lost their first child, his grief would only add to Ariel's burden.

"I don't think this situation with Jayson will last long. A proud, conceited man like him only turned his attention to you because he just broke up with his previous lover. Ignore him, and he'll give up soon enough." Janice only wanted to shield Ariel from more pain.

Ariel understood her concern and smiled gently.

As for Chad, neither of them knew how to break the news to him. They decided to wait for the right time.

Janice ended up staying with Ariel for an entire week.

The once bubbly, carefree woman seemed to have matured overnight. She began learning how to help with Ariel's daily routine while also taking it upon herself to keep Jayson away.

Ariel simply let her.

…

On Monday, Ariel stopped by the 719 Military Aircraft Base for work.

As she turned a corner, she spotted Samson speaking on the phone.

"I know some of the Yeager Group's directors are unhappy with me. They see the Sheffielton tender project as a golden opportunity. The situation is serious since they're trying to use it against me," he said.

Ariel slowed her steps.

"But it's fine. That project doesn't matter much. I can always secure another one with greater profits. We need to stay open-minded. I'll take full responsibility this time."

Ariel didn't linger to hear the rest and continued on her way.

Not long after, Samson appeared. His eyes scanned her from head to toe, a faint frown creasing his face. "Are you feeling better now?"

Ariel recorded some data before nodding. "I'm alright now."
