Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 701

Leonard's gaze drifted toward Jayson, and he immediately stopped himself from finishing what he was about to say.

Perry, with a knowing look in his eyes, gave a slight nod.

Meanwhile, Jayson slowly lifted his gaze, appearing completely oblivious to the silent exchange between the two men. He didn't ask any questions either.

Perry acted as though he hadn't noticed Leonard's hesitation. Just then, someone came over to greet him. Perry's gaze briefly landed on Ariel before he turned around to speak to the newcomer.

Ariel, uninterested in small talk, led Katie and Leonard over to where Betty was.

Once Ariel had left, Matt stepped closer to Jayson. "Judging by your interactions… the two of you haven't reconciled yet?"

Jayson lowered his gaze. "We're getting divorced soon."

After what happened to their child, Jayson had become convinced that Ariel no longer had any feelings for him.

Without another word, he walked away to another spot in the hall, leaving Matt standing there, stunned and confused.

What did he just hear? There was no way Jayson would willingly end things with Ariel.

Just as Ariel was bringing Katie and Leonard over to greet Betty, she received a WhatsApp message from Janice, saying that she and Chad had arrived.

Ariel looked toward the entrance and spotted Janice hurrying over, dragging Chad along. Even though she disliked seeing Jayson, Janice had no choice but to attend Betty's birthday party since her parents would be present as well.

Janice cast a glance at Jayson, who stood not far away. Then she grabbed Ariel's arm and whispered, "There's no way he'll ever find a new wife as perfect as you. You've always fulfilled your duties to make sure the Larkins never lost face."

Unlike Ariel, Jayson had never cared about how it affected her when he appeared in public with Nancy by his side.

Ariel stayed silent. Today would be the last time she had to endure something like this. After today, their separation would be formally announced.

"I agree with her," Chad said, raising his brows at Janice.
