Chapter : 179 Unlike Matt, who was stunned, Jayson’s face showed no reaction at all. His gaze was unreadable, resting thoughtfully on Ariel. Ariel had already set the pen down. No wonder Jayson brought out a brand–new divorce agreement. He wanted to keep full control of the negotiation from the
Chapter : 178 Ariel was surprisingly businesslike. She was completely emotionless, like it was just another business meeting. But soon, she frowned. That brief thought that maybe Jayson was being kind vanished as she spotted two more conditions in the agreement. One said she couldn’t tell Betty the truth about
Chapter : 177 Jayson walked in from outside, dressed in a sleek black overcoat. His sharp features were as emotionless as ever. His gaze fell on Ariel without a trace of what anyone would expect from a man about to finalize a divorce. Behind him were Matt and another man
Chapter : 175 Ariel met Jayson’s gaze. There was a look of indifference in those eyes. He was waiting for Ariel’s reply. Honestly, Ariel was not that surprised to see Jayson react this way. He probably thought Ariel had crossed the line with what she did today. Ariel had already
Chapter : 174 Jayson lifted his gaze and looked at Ariel. His eyes showed no emotion. A thought occurred to Ariel at that moment. Sarah was also staying at this hospital. This place was the registration area for patients undergoing liver transplant operations. Now that Nancy and Jayson were here…
Chapter : 173 Jayson held the envelope in his hands. He checked the shipping label for the time this envelope was mailed. It was actually mailed two months ago. As he held the envelope and turned around, Jayson accidentally shook it. He could hear the sound of something small rolling
Chapter : 172 Ariel sat there silently for a moment. It turned out Jayson had left in a hurry because he was worried about Nancy skipping meals and overworking herself. She replied with another message. “Alright.” It appeared one could easily make their mothers and lovers yield to them by
Chapter : 171 Jayson didn’t refute her words. However, he had begun to notice the slight changes in Ariel’s attitude. From a distance, he kept his eyes trained on Ariel as if he were trying to discern whether the expressions on her face were a true reflection of her honest
Chapter : 170 Jayson paused briefly. “This place offers a spectacular night view.” Ariel could tell that Betty wanted them to enjoy an amazing night together. She looked around them. A violinist played a song on her violin to create a romantic mood for the couple. Ariel could sometimes see
Chapter : 169 Ariel raised her head as she heard the sound of a car honking. A Bentley parked by the roadside had its hazard lights on. Toby dutifully got out of the car and opened the door for Ariel. Ariel finally recalled that it was Valentine’s Day today. She
Chapter : 168 Ariel looked up from her food. She did not expect Betty to know so much about these relatively new, trendy things. Not only did she know about candlelight dinners, but Betty was also aware of suites designed specifically for couples on Valentine’s Day. Before Ariel could think
Chapter : 167 Ariel had reacted quite strongly. She still had a calm expression on her face. However, the way she had subconsciously resisted and raised her hand to push Jayson’s hand away was done by following her instincts. Jayson stiffened. Under the warm, orange lights, his cold, deep–set eyes
Chapter : 166 Ariel reckoned Jayson was probably with Nancy at the moment. Normally, Ariel would not care at all no matter how long or how often Jayson wanted to spend his time with Nancy. However, today…. She had no choice but to come up with a plan. Betty was
Chapter : 165 Ariel stopped breathing for a second. Then, she frowned and sent Lucas a glare. She glanced at the expressionless Jayson next. He seemed completely uninterested in what was going on between Ariel and Lucas. Earlier, Ariel noticed that Jayson had frowned almost unnoticeably when Lucas mentioned the
Chapter : 164 Jayson would not allow anyone to spread anything that could potentially harm Nancy’s reputation before he could officially marry her. After all, loving someone meant doing what was best for that person at all times. Lucas stared at Jayson with an enigmatic look on his face. “I’ll
Chapter : 163 Ariel was honestly quite surprised. She had not expected that the highlight of tonight’s event was the announcement of Lucas and Wendy’s engagement. It somewhat explained why Wendy had asked her to stay around until the end earlier. Ariel wondered if Wendy had considered her as Lucas‘
Chapter : 162 ayson stared at Ariel for about two seconds before averting his gaze. Then, he turned his head and went up the stage with Nancy. Ariel was no longer looking in the direction of the stage. She picked up her glass and drank her juice. On the second
Chapter : 161 As soon as Nancy said that, people looked toward Jayson, who remained calm and composed, with shock and delight. All of them would have the honor of watching him perform on stage if Jayson were to agree to Nancy’s request. Even Ariel had a look of bewilderment
Chapter : 160 Even though that was what she said, Wendy had kept her gaze fixed on Ariel. It was clear what she was trying to imply. Wendy wanted Ariel to take the hint and back off. Janice was irked. She frowned and got up. “Why don’t you be a
