Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 65 Ariel was simply stating a fact . Wendy looked at Lucas in surprise . She hadn't known Ariel had been married . Lucas narrowed his eyes . He could tell that there were serious tensions between Jayson and Ariel . The latter wasn't the kind to make a scene unless she was pushed to the edge , like now . He reached out to take the coconut juice in front of her . " She doesn't drink coconut juice . " Jayson turned slightly toward Nancy and listened to her speak . No one could tell if he'd heard it or not . Ariel glanced at Lucas . She had to admit that he knew her best .

Wendy suddenly sounded a little jealous . " You treat Ariel so well . " Lucas wrapped an arm around her with his lips curved in a slight smile . After he whispered something in her ear , she punched him lightly and blushed . Ariel looked at Lucas , then at Jayson . The latter showed no reaction . She knew that if it wasn't something he cared about , it would never matter to him . After the meal , Jayson and Nancy were the first to leave . As they were walking out , Jayson turned to Chad . " Mr. Hockney , can we have a private moment to talk ? " Chad had no reason to refuse . " Of course .

" Ariel knew better and didn't follow . Lucas and Wendy got up . As they were about to leave , Ariel caught sight of the delicate airplane charm hanging from Wendy's phone case . She froze and recognized it instantly as the charm she'd made as a teenager . It had taken her nearly a week , and she had rubbed her fingers raw from the effort . Lucas had always treasured it . Seeing her peeled skin , he'd been both furious and heartbroken . Catching her gaze lingering on the charm , he gave Wendy a pat and said , " Wait for me in the car . " Wendy looked thoughtfully at Ariel and said , " Okay .

Don't take too long . " As soon as she left , Lucas said , " Wendy really liked it , so I gave it to her . Do you mind ? " Ariel snapped out of it and lightly said , " No. " Lucas noticed her coldness and cheekily said , " If you don't , could you make another one ? She's always wanted a matching couple set , but I couldn't find anything like it . " It was true that Ariel no longer cared about such stuff , but the request was so absurd that it made her frown . The nerves in her temple throbbed as she looked at him . " Throw that away and buy a matching set then .

" AA OMNO = Chapter 65 +25 BONUS Ariel took his arm and steered him toward the exit . " Nothing . Let's go . " Lucas didn't stop them . He just shoved his hands into his pockets and glanced toward the distance , where Jayson was standing side by side with Nancy . His expression turned slightly grim . One of the executives nervously asked , " Mr. Sanderson , is everything alright ? " Lucas rubbed his temples . " Yeah . Let's go . " Back at Faye Technologies , Ariel finally found out what had happened . Jayson had asked to speak with Chad just to arrange a meeting with Carlos !

" Jayson wants to meet my father and told me to name a price ! He'd agree to anything within his power ! " Nancy wants to write a research paper and wants guidance from Carlos . Is she even worthy ? " he sneered . Ariel was silent for a long time . Jayson was willing to go to such lengths for Ariel , even promising favors . Everyone knew the weight his words held . It was clear that even if Chad demanded the moon , Jayson would go all out to fulfill his wishes just for Nancy . 2
