Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 662

Ariel went back to her room to rest without a care about what Jayson was thinking. She had said everything she needed to say. Now that he knew about her pregnancy, she wouldn't hide her plans from him.

Jayson stayed in the living room for a long while, staring at the gardenia on the table.

His phone in his pocket buzzed repeatedly. When he finally checked it, he noticed some work calls and one call from an international number.

He stepped out onto the balcony to dial that number.

When he returned, it was nearly midnight.

Ariel hadn't eaten anything.

He entered the kitchen. She usually took good care of herself, so the fridge was stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables.

He had spent a few years in Merinia, so he could cook for himself and knew the basics of cooking. But now that Ariel was pregnant, there were a lot of things to be careful about.

Before he started cooking, he went through a bunch of tutorials and articles—what foods were best for pregnant women, how to boost nutrition, ways to ease pregnancy discomforts, and so on.

He knew Ariel's tastes well. Plus, with the fridge stocked full of her favorite foods, he cooked with ease.

He made a black truffle mushroom soup and a tangy-sweet yam puree with berry compote.

After cooking, he removed his apron and went to Ariel's bedroom. He gently pushed the door open and stepped inside. Ariel was asleep. Facing away from the door, she looked completely unguarded.

Jayson walked over and crouched slightly by the side of the bed, quietly looking at her face. Then, his eyes rested on her belly for a while.

Ariel woke the moment he entered. She opened her eyes and asked, "You're still here?"

"Get up and eat. I made something you like." Jayson ignored her cool tone and reached for her wrist.
