Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 531 Chapter 531 "It's nothing. Let's sit over there." Ariel pointed in a direction far from where Jayson was. She did not spare Jayson another glance as she walked over to the table next to the window. However, Ariel couldn't control the thoughts that were going through her head. Even after she and Samson had taken their seats, Jayson remained in his seat without doing much. While her suspicions grew stronger, Ariel maintained a neutral expression. She didn't think it was a big deal if the person from last night was Jayson.

They had been married for three years, so another night together wouldn't make a difference. After all, she wasn't someone who would let herself be bound by old, outdated values. "Are you feeling cold? Do you need a jacket?" Samson glanced at the thin, knitted cardigan Ariel was wearing. The temperature in that region was a bit low. He pointed to his clothes. "You can wear mine if you don't mind." "It's fine. That won't be necessary." Ariel had a dubious look in her eyes as she glanced at Samson. She felt even more convinced now. For some reason, Samson was showing her a lot of concern.

It was to the extent that Ariel found it peculiar. Samson didn't force Ariel to accept his help. He decided to respect her wishes. Ariel experienced some discomfort in her stomach, so she didn't eat much. However, she did have another glass of warm honey water. During breakfast, Samson went out briefly to take a call. Ariel sent Janice a WhatsApp message, telling her to come down for breakfast. Someone sat opposite Ariel just as she was done sending the message. Cecilia hadn't applied any makeup. Yet, her facial features were sharp and beautiful.

She grinned at Ariel as she silently observed the latter's condition. "Did you sleep well last night?" Ariel found those words oddly familiar. Samson had also asked her the same question. "What time did the party end last night?" Ariel didn't respond to her question. Instead, she changed the topic. Cecilia raised her brows. With one elbow on the table, she rested her chin on her hand, "Around 3:00 am?

couldn't sleep, so I just came here instead." Certhie easily steered the topic back to what she wanted to talk about "Actually, Samson was very worried about you after you Left last sight wing you didn't look that well I told him your room number, and he went looking for you right away." Ariel nightened her grip around the glass she was holding Suddenly, the situation had gone way out of hand. This was very deberent from what she had speculated might have happened.

"Samson went looking for me?" Ariel's expression remained the Her tone was soothing Cecilia Uilted her head and smiled "That's right. He was worried that you might be feeling unwell.

When Cecilia said that, Jayson happened to pass by their table since he was heading to the buffet counter. 1/2 Chapter 531 He'd heard every single word she said. Cecilia's intentions were obvious.

A faint smile played across her lips. Her eyes reflected her amusement. "Jayson?" In the distance, Nancy waved at Jayson as soon as she came into the restaurant. She frowned as she cast a glance at Ariel. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes. Nancy didn't like how Ariel kept showing up wherever Jayson went 1 Jayson broke his gaze, turned on his heel, and strode away.

Cecilia raised her brows, surprised by Jayson's silence. She stared at his receding figure for a moment before turning her gaze to Ariel. Ariel still wasn't sure what had happened. She took a sip of the honey water and said, "I went to bed early last night." Cecilia didn't understand what Ariel meant by that. She fixed her gaze on Ariel for quite some time. On the other hand, Ariel didn't say much. Inwardly, she was trying to figure out what had happened. If what Cecilia said was true, Samson was the man she had been with the night before.

But even more unsettling to Ariel was the strange way Jayson was acting. (1) Ariel dropped her gaze and pondered for quite some time. She decided to find out the truth so that she could get a sense of reassurance. Ariel planned to ask and check with her ex-husband directly.
