Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 659 When Jayson led Ariel out, all eyes naturally followed them. There were too many onlookers to ignore. However, he didn't slow his pace, and he never loosened his grip on her hand. Even after leaving the Sterling Hotel and getting into Jayson's car, Ariel still didn't speak. She knew they would inevitably talk about her pregnancy. "Seatbelt," Jayson said, leaning over to help her fasten it. His gaze lingered on her stomach for a few Read complete version only at fındnovel.net seconds. "Do you want to go home first?" Ariel sat there quietly.

"Up to you." Jayson started the engine without hesitation. He didn't ask about her situation with Lucas earlier. "Do you feel any discomfort because of the baby?" Ariel didn't answer. 2 Jayson turned the steering wheel, seemingly unbothered by her silence. A faint, easy smile tugged at his lips. "Your health's never been good. I'll have Dr. Zehnder check on you. We can ease some of the pregnancy symptoms a bit." His voice was low, steady, and patient. "I remember you've always loved kids. Do you hope for a boy or a girl? I was thinking that, either way, one child is enough.

What do you think?" That was his genuine thought. Ariel's health had always been delicate, but she loved children. Now that she was carrying one, he just wanted to take care of her and keep her as comfortable as possible. After all, pregnancy was something that would take a toll on her body. One child was enough. "By the timing, you must be over three months in, right? That should be the stable period. I looked it up before. The embryo is fully formed and can be called a fetus around 12 weeks. Most of the organs have developed, and even the limbs can move.

Can you feel it?" He knew more than Ariel herself. His words were slow, as he spoke with a faint smile. Fully formed... 1 That meant it was a living being. Ariel didn't respond. Only she knew how things would ultimately turn out. 1 Judging from Jayson's demeanor, he clearly hadn't just heard the news from Cecilia. He seemed 1/2 Chapter 660 +15 BONUS completely certain. As if he could read her thoughts, he said honestly, "Someone sent me pictures of you at the OB-GYN.

I know I found out late and through someone else, but I still wanted to be there with you for those moments." Ariel lowered her gaze. OB-GYN department... Everything was clear now. Since Cecilia had learned from Wendy, this email had to come from Wendy as well. Ariel turned to look at him but didn't mention the baby. She asked, "Aren't you going to ask about Lucas?" Jayson kept his eyes on the road. "Do I need to? I know you better than anyone. Being in the same room doesn't mean anything.

I won't lose my rationality because of that." He could tell that there was something fishy about the situation. Others might be suspicious, but if he let himself overthink it, it would be nothing short of an insult to Ariel. The most important thing right now was that they had a baby. This could even mark a turning point for them. 1 Yet, Ariel felt that things had changed. Jayson was a rational person, and today's events wouldn't have much impact. However... "Aren't you going to ask why I didn't tell you?" Some questions had to be addressed eventually. Jayson's gaze flickered. "Fine.

Tell me what's on your mind." "I don't want to keep it," Ariel said bluntly. 4 Jayson slammed the brakes. Her answer hit like an icy splash, shattering any faint hopes for the future. As he turned toward her, his eyes shifted with emotion. "Why?" He had suspected this from the moment he realized she hadn't told him, but he had suppressed that thought. That was why he hadn't asked why she hadn't told him. He had been avoiding some possible answers. Chapter 661 +15 BONUS Chapter 661
