Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 832

Ariel looked at Janice, whose eyes sparkled with awe and anticipation. She instinctively thought of Wade and hugged Janice gently. "Jayson and I are getting married next month. We should wrap up our work here and head back to Croinia soon. Your wedding is coming up too."

Janice stiffened slightly, then smiled and waved her hand dismissively. "Let's focus on your wedding for now. Mine won't be happening anytime soon."

She didn't want to tell Ariel that Jayson had made it to safety because she had asked Wade to rescue him in exchange for the annulment of their engagement.

Janice knew that revealing this would only make Ariel feel sad and guilty. She didn't want Ariel to feel responsible for what had happened.

Once they returned to Croinia, Janice planned to announce the annulment and explain it as a result of personality differences.

Since their last meeting, Janice hadn't seen Wade, who had remained in Bellador, nor had she discussed the matter with him.

Wade was likely avoiding the topic, afraid Janice might regret her decision and go back on her promise.

Though she hadn't seen Wade, Janice occasionally ran into Bradley, who often looked disgruntled—like he had something he wanted to say.

Janice didn't press him. Wade hadn't come to see her, and she saw no reason to ask about someone she was about to break off an engagement with.

After that, Ariel and Janice focused entirely on their work.

The government had selected the Faye Technologies team to participate in a major collaborative project between their country and Bellador. They had to plan and execute everything meticulously.

…

Two weeks later, the wedding dress was completed.

Ariel reviewed the design sketches while watching a video clip Jayson had sent her.

The dress was elegant without being overly extravagant. The fabric was light, and the design allowed for easy movement.

White pearls hand-sewn onto the gown added delicate, eye-catching detail. It was a beautiful and graceful wedding dress. Ariel had no objections to the wedding arrangements.

To make it home in time, she worked tirelessly to complete her tasks as quickly as possible.

It was exhausting and demanding.
