Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 822

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 drained the color from her face.

Evelyn narrowed her eyes. "That might not be the case. Let's just ask them when they get here."

Katie made no further comments. She didn't know much about what had truly happened between Ariel and Jayson, but when it came to talk of divorce…

Leonard patted Katie's shoulder and gave her a reassuring look. "Let's wait until Ari's here."

It was obvious the Larkins still hadn't caught on.

Katie nodded.

Just then, the maid's voice sounded from the entryway.

"Welcome back, Mr. Larkin and Mrs. Larkin."

Everyone in the living room turned toward the door at once. A wave of tension filled the air as they braced for what was to come.

Renee's eyes widened the moment she saw the couple walk in, hand in hand.

"Have you two made up?" she exclaimed excitedly, jumping to her feet.
