Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 787

"Why are you here?" Wade set down the bag in his hand and turned to look at her.

Janice felt an indescribable awkwardness, mixed with emotions she didn't even dare to think about.

"I brought you your jacket." She waved the jacket in her hand, almost as if to prove she hadn't been eavesdropping.

Bradley rubbed his nose. For some reason, as an outsider, he felt a twinge of awkward guilt.

He didn't know Janice well since Wade never talked about her. But it wouldn't have been good if she had overheard that conversation just now.

"I'll leave you two to talk." Bradley smiled at Janice warmly.

But Janice couldn't help thinking that since he was closer to Alicia, he would probably side more with her.

"Thank you." She nodded.

Bradley stepped aside and helpfully closed the door behind him.

Janice finally entered and handed Wade the jacket. "Have you settled in?"

She actually wanted Wade to give some kind of explanation about his call with Alicia earlier.

He could just tell her he was joking, that she shouldn't take it to heart, or that she was his fiancee.

In fact, she felt a little pathetic. She was easy to pacify.

Wade took the jacket and carried it toward the bathroom to toss it in the washing machine.

"Almost," he said.

His nature was cold and stern, and he rarely wasted words. Explanation wasn't something he would do.

Janice felt a pang of disappointment.
