Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 691

Since Shane was coming, Ariel eventually decided to follow Jayson to his apartment after giving it some thought.

Jayson keyed in the password for the door with Ariel standing beside him. They were the same numbers she had seen him use to unlock the door of their marital home.

As soon as she stepped inside, Ariel noticed the apartment looked like an exact copy of her own. The decorations were practically identical—the floors, curtains, ornaments, and even the furniture.

It felt as if she had just walked back into her own place. She wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

"When did you prepare all this?" she asked as Jayson bent down and took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack. They were the same brand and design she usually wore.

He crouched down and placed them by her feet, then looked up at her. "Are you going to make me pay copyright fees for copying your apartment's interior design?"

Ariel shot back, "You can just transfer the money to my bank account right away."

Jayson could have done exactly that without asking first.

He stood up and walked inside. "Alright. I'll send you the receipt after I make the transfer. Do you mind adding my WhatsApp number so I can do that?"

Ariel fell silent.

The amusing part was that she and Jayson hadn't re-added each other on WhatsApp ever since she deleted his contact details.

She knew he wasn't being serious. He was only teasing her.

After entering the apartment, Ariel was about to find a place to sit when she turned around and noticed a cupboard identical to the one she had at home. Several photos were displayed on it.

One of them was of her and Jayson sitting side by side, looking rather stiff. Neither of them appeared particularly happy or excited.

Back then, Ariel had assumed Jayson was upset since he hadn't smiled at all that day. But now, looking again, she could see a faint trace of contentment in his eyes.

Typically, a wedding photo taken at the city hall after a marriage registration wouldn't be displayed.

Among the other photos, Ariel recognized one that Betty had insisted on taking last year so she could send it to Marie.

Jayson had originally intended to send that photo to Ariel, but she had already blocked and deleted his WhatsApp contact.

However, a call from Nancy had delayed Jayson from sending the photo immediately, so he failed to notice that Ariel had removed him from her WhatsApp contact list.
