Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 91 The call went unanswered for a long time . It was only about 8:00 pm . Betty was a mischievous old soul . She liked to watch dramas and scroll through the reels on social media . She shouldn't already be asleep . Ariel called the landline instead . One of the household staff answered it . " Mrs. Larkin , Mrs. Larkin Senior is feeling under the weather these couple of days and is now resting . She didn't have much of an appetite today . " Ariel couldn't help worrying . " What's wrong ? Is it her blood pressure ? " " The family doctor came to have a look . He said Mrs.

Larkin Senior is having a cold and her blood pressure is fluctuating . Mrs. Larkin , are you free to drop by today ? Mrs. Larkin Senior doesn't really listen to us ... " Ariel hesitated . It wasn't appropriate for her to ignore Betty after learning about her condition . Besides , Betty had been nice to her . In every sense , she should visit Betty . She hummed in acknowledgment . " I'll be right there . " After freshening up , she headed for Larkin Manor . She originally wanted to ask Betty if Jayson was there . Now , she had no choice but to visit herself .

Upon arriving at the manor , the household staff gave her a change of indoor slippers . Ariel spotted Betty , lying on her side on the couch in the living room . When Betty heard Ariel coming in , she sat up instantly and smiled at her . " You're back , Ari . They told me you're coming back , so I sat here waiting for you . Have you just got off work ? " Seeing that her complexion wasn't too pale, Ariel felt relieved . " Grandma , are you feeling better ? I heard you didn't even want to have your meals . " Betty lovingly held her hand . " It's fine . As we age , we tend to get sick easily .

It's just like an intermittent diet . " Ariel frowned . " How can you do that ? Come , tell me what you want to eat , and I'll make it for you . " " Really ? " Betty's face immediately lit up . " I want oatmeal . You make the best oatmeal . " Ariel smiled . " Sure . Wait here . " She had learned how to cook because of Jayson . She poured her heart into it , so she was quite skilled in preparing oatmeal and all sorts of soups . After tasting her cooking , Betty would always crave more . Ariel swiftly entered the kitchen . She rarely cooked ever since she started working at Faye Tech .

There was also no need for her to rush back during lunch hour just to cook for Jayson anymore . It had been less burdensome for her . However , she had just served the oatmeal when she heard the whir of a car . Jayson entered the living room . His gaze fell on Ariel . He noticed her hurrying in and out of the kitchen , her frail figure clad in an apron , and his gaze became profound . 1/2 Chapter 81 +25 BONUS When Betty realized he was back , she chuckled . " I was just about to call you ! Look , Ari was concerned about you working yourself too hard , so she purposely cooked for you today .

Only she would be so attentive to you . " Ariel paused . She sensed Jayson's eyes on her again and felt a sense of awkwardness . Feeling resigned , she glanced at Betty . She knew Betty said that on purpose so that they could become closer . She wanted Jayson to be more affectionate to Ariel . Still , it was all in vain . She had done the same thing for three years , but he never cared . Jayson only thought of Ariel as a simp mainly because they were going to divorce . What would he think of her if Betty said that ? Indeed , Jayson merely jested . " We have the household staff for that .

Your efforts are unnecessary . " Even though Ariel was used to his reaction , she still felt suffocated because of his words . She had never had wishful thinking that she would earn his genuine love , but he shouldn't be looking down on her that way . Even Betty was taken aback . " How is that the same ? " Jayson calmly sat at the dining table and changed the topic . " Are you feeling better , Grandma ? " Betty huffed , " I can live longer if you and Ari get along ! " Ariel didn't respond to that . Upon hearing that , Jayson smiled casually .

" You'll easily live a good , long life if you stop worrying over nothing . " Betty glared at him . Turning to Ariel , she felt sorry for her . " You should eat up . You're getting thinner . How hard must you've been working for you to lose so much weight ? You should just return to the manor . The household staff will take good care of you . Jayson nonchalantly glanced at her . Not knowing how to explain that she had thinned down because of her illness , and not because of work , Ariel served the food for Betty and glossed over the topic . H
