Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 784 Early that morning, Janice had texted Wade to let him know she would be going on a business trip. That was when she found out Wade was also on the same assignment list. So he had stopped by the Swanson residence to pick her up, and they headed to the airport together. When Ariel spotted them from a distance, she stopped and turned to Jayson. "You should go now." Jayson's gaze deepened. "Alright. Call me when you land. I have some company matters to handle, but once I'm done, I'll fly over to see you." Ariel blinked in surprise.

"You don't need to go through all that trouble." "What else am I supposed to do? Sit around missing you?" His tone was calm and composed, but coming from that refined, aloof face of his, it felt oddly out of place to Ariel. Read complete version only at FindNovel.net She hadn't thought of that. "I'll go when I can. Then we'll head to Nacsall together." Jayson gently pinched her cheek. There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes. He couldn't believe how clingy he had become. That wasn't like him at all.

Even last night, knowing Ariel would be gone for two months, he had barely been able to sleep. Two months felt unbearably long. He had never felt time move this slowly before. Ariel, too, couldn't stop thinking about their baby. She took a quiet breath. "Okay." She checked the time and waved at him. But Jayson didn't move, still watching her. She waved again. "I'll be heading up soon. You-" Before she could finish, Jayson bent down, cupped her face in both hands, and kissed her without hesitation. "Wait for me." After saying that, he stepped back and looked at her with a faint smile.

Ariel's expression froze for a moment. After all, people were coming and going, and her colleagues were watching from behind. It suddenly felt like they were dating all over again. Everything was new and thrilling. Her heart fluttered, but she kept her expression calm and simply nodded. "Okay." Without another glance, she turned and walked away. Jayson watched her until she disappeared into the terminal, then narrowed his eyes and pulled out his phone. 1/2 Arthur's report had come in, and he checked it carefully. He was also keeping tabs on Samson.

Even though Cecilia's situation had been contained, he wasn't about to let his guard down around Samson. After entering the terminal, Ariel went straight to Janice. She tugged her closer and glanced toward Wade before whispering, "You two came together?" Janice hesitated. "Yeah." "Spent the night together?" Janice coughed lightly and looped her arm through Ariel's. "No." That actually surprised Ariel. Wade had just returned to Croinia, and they had celebrated her birthday, yet they didn't even go on a date? "Come on, let's go to the lounge." Janice didn't want to get into details.

Talking too much about last night would only make her seem like she was overreacting. Ariel picked up on the faint trace of something being off in her tone. She shot Wade a quiet glance but didn't press. The trip itself was semi-confidential. Their total flight time was around ten hours, including a layover before reaching their final destination. Upon arrival, local personnel were there to receive them. It was Ariel's first time visiting a country like this, and she understood why certain technical support was necessary.

By the time they got off the plane, it was past 4:00 pm, and they were escorted to a designated residence. The pilots-including Wade, Roland, and Bradley-would be staying here for two days before moving on to their next location. By the time Ariel finished unpacking, she was too exhausted to move. It was past midnight in Croinia. She thought about lying down for a bit before calling Jayson to let him know she had arrived safely. Janice looked at Ariel's frail figure and immediately took it upon herself to help hang up the rest of her clothes.

As she worked, she muttered, "Seriously, they just had to send you. I guess that's what happens when you're too good at your job."
