Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 697 Chapter 698 Ariel considered briefly how she should phrase her words. Since things had come to this, perhaps it was time to let go of everything that had been holding her back and finally tell Jayson the truth. The truth about her cancer. The truth about what had actually happened that led to the abortion before Jayson returned to Croinia. Ariel suddenly felt she should clear the air and be completely honest with him, especially since they would soon be divorced.

She was even more inclined to do so when she thought about how Jayson had secretly brought Isaac back to help with Leonard's treatment and how he had quietly supported her while she worked on the U.N2 project. Maybe they should have an honest, heart-to-heart conversation for once. Then, they could part ways without any lingering regrets or resentment. "What is it that you want to say?" Jayson asked, sensing something heavy on her mind. Ariel began, "I want to tell you that-" A sudden screech cut her off.

"Mr. Larkin, a car sped toward us just now. I had to swerve to avoid it. Are you both alright?" 1 Jayson spotted the car speeding away. A cold light flickered in his eyes.

"I'm fine." A small frown creased Ariel's forehead as she rubbed her neck, having apparently pulled a muscle. "I'm okay," she said. But her pain was evident to Jayson, whose frown deepened in concern. "Let's head back first," he responded. His gaze lingered in the direction the car had gone, his eyes unreadable. It was clear this wasn't just a simple accident. 1/4 Fri 3 Oct Chapter 698 It was around noon when they arrived at Larkin Manor. Jayson helped Ariel out of the car. "Let's get you a cold compress."

Still, you should be more considerate of Ari's feelings." He seemed oblivious to the undertone in Jayson's words. Jayson ignored him and signaled for someone to bring an ice pack.

Ariel took the ice pack from him. "I'll do it myself.". th Shane watched the scene unfolding before him. "Why are you being so polite with your own husband? What's going on, Ari?" Ariel remained silent, finding it hard to answer. Besides, they had another reason for coming back to Larkin Manor today. Straightening, Jayson shot Shane a sidelong glance. "Haven't you seen today's news?" Shane appeared confused.

"What news?" "How could you not know?" Jayson replied slowly, his tone edged with mockery. "You'll never qualify as a competent business manager if you're this slow to keep up." Shane stiffened slightly before forcing a grin. "Is that so? I'll check the news now."
