Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 198

In the villa.

When Arya came back, Nanny Joy was playing with Ryan in the yard.

In the summer season, the flowers and trees looked lively, and the lawn looked even greener. The

trees, which had been evergreen for all seasons, were even lusher.

Ryan seemed to be in a good mood. He hopped along the path made of slates, holding his favorite

Transformer robot in his hand and fiddling with the toy.

Arya walked over, sat on the stone bench, and looked at Ryan.

At this moment, Nanny Joy came out of the house with the cut fruit and milk. She put the tray on the

stone table and asked, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't Xavier come back with you?"

Arya's hand tightened slightly. "He's still busy. He's not back."

Nanny Joy understood. Looking at Ryan, who was playing, she smiled more brilliantly. "Do you think

Ryan is a little different?"

Arya looked at Ryan. "You mean he's a little fatter?"

During this period of time, according to the nursing plan given by Edward, Ryan gained some weight,

his small face was more round and exquisite, and his eyes were bright and colorful.

Nanny Joy shook her head. "I'm talking about his mental state. This is what normal children should

have."

Arya understood what Nanny Joy meant. It was also her original intention to give Ryan a complete

home.

She hope he could be happy and grew up like a normal child.

Xavier's attitude today made her lose her way for a while.

"Mommy." Ryan ran over and threw himself into Arya's arms. Arya opened her arms, held Ryan in her

arms, and wiped his forehead. "Look at you. Your head is sweating."

Ryan laughed. "Mommy, are you taking me out to play?"

Arya scratched his little nose. "Where do you want to play again?"

"Wherever we go, you have to drink the milk first." Nanny Joy interrupted their conversation and

handed him the milk.

Ryan pouted. "Nanny Joy, can I not drink today?"

Nanny Joy looked serious and shook her head. "No, you have to drink."

Ryan looked at Arya with a bitter face and asked for help. Arya was equally serious. "You have to listen

to Nanny Joy. It's useless to look at me. I won't let you be willful."

Ryan hung his head dejectedly and pestered Nanny Joy. "Nanny Joy, look at me. I'm fat and taller. I

won't drink it just for today."

"That won't do."

"Nanny Joy, why are you so stubborn?"

Ryan kept talking. Arya looked at him and could not help but smile.

A text message sounded from her phone in her pocket. Arya took out her phone and saw that it was

Xavier's number. The smile on her face slowly disappeared. She clicked on the text message:

something's up. Go back later.

Arya looked down at the simple words, considering the reason why he didn't come back.

'Does he really have something to do, or is it because of what happened at the house of the Jones

Family today that he wouldn't come back?

Arya was confused.

Ryan was obedient and drank the milk. He said, "Hey, I can't do anything about you. You're so willful."

Nanny Joy smiled. "Who's so willful?"

Ryan smiled and turned to look at Arya. "Mommy, aren't you happy?"

Arya put her phone away and forced a smile. "Aren't you going out to play? Mommy will take you to the

company, okay?"

Ryan sighed slightly. "Well, it's better than staying at home."

Arya pinched his face.

Arya did not know when Xavier would come back. She would think nonsense if she stayed at home,

and she had not been to the company for a long time, so she took advantage of the chance to take a

look.

When Arya appeared at the company, Orlando was surprised and teased, "Shouldn't you be a rich wife

at home? Why are you going out?"

Arya was not in the mood to joke with him today. She pursed his lips. "Let me take a look at the

company's recent business."

Orlando raised his eyebrows slightly. He realized that she was in a bad mood. He was no longer

smiling. He straightened his face. "I'll bring it to you."

Arya took Ryan to the office and found traces of someone using the desk, with items that didn't belong

to her.

Arya put down Ryan. "Play by yourself."

Arya had brought him here before. Ryan was already familiar with this place and went to play by

himself.

"Don't go far," Arya said.

"Got it!"

As he spoke, he ran out. He liked those little sisters the most for they would buy him delicious food.

For a while, Orlando came in with a pile of documents in his arms and placed them all on the desk. The

wide desk was immediately occupied one-third of the space.

Arya was not in a hurry to look at these documents, but asked, "Someone came in while I was away?"

Orlando arranged the documents one after another. "Yes, when you're not around, Mr. Jones often

comes over. He will handle business in this office."

Arya raised her eyebrows, not understanding why he worked here.

Orlando looked at Arya's confused expression and knew that she didn't know about what happened in

the Jones Group.

Nearly no people knew about it. "Something happened in the Jones Group recently. Mr. Jones

transferred a lot of profitable businesses here."

Although the company still looked the same on the surface, it had already been reorganized.

"What happened?" Arya knew that Xavier was busy these days, but she didn't know what it was.

Orlando looked serious and leaned closer to Arya. "I heard that someone is trying to take the place of

Mr. Jones."

Arya raised her eyebrows and her face became somber.

Shaking Xavier's position was not something that anyone could do. It was definitely not as simple as it

seemed.

Orlando patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Mr. Jones can handle it."

Indeed, Xavier would definitely be able to handle it.

At this moment, Arya couldn't help but think of the ring he gave her. 'What did he say at that time?'

If he went bankrupt, that ring would support her spending the rest of her life. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

'Is he ready to go bankrupt?'

Arya rubbed her eyebrows, sat down at the desk and took a document.

Jones Group's business ran the gamut, so the transferred operations were also miscellaneous. She

couldn't understand the Microsoft documents at all.

After a day at the company, she almost forgot the unpleasant thing that happened at the house of the

Jones family today.

Because of Ryan, she went back at around four o'clock.

When she returned to the villa, Nanny Joy was preparing dinner, and Xavier was not back yet.

After dinner, Arya took a bath for Ryan, but she didn't take him to sleep.

She had something to talk about with Xavier. She was afraid of disturbing Ryan to sleep and also didn't

want him to hear it. So she asked Nanny Joy to take Ryan to sleep.

She washed herself up and went to bed, tossing and turning. She got up, called Orlando, and asked

him about something regarding the work.

Arya didn't realize that they had been on the phone for two hours. She saw the clock on the wall. It was

almost midnight. "You should be sleepy."

Orlando complained, "What do you think? I worked all day and you forced me to work overtime at night.

To appreciate my hard work, you have to treat me to dinner."

Arya said, "OK. It's late. I'm hanging up. Good night."

Arya put her hot phone on the sofa, raised her head, and pressed her temples.

It was almost the second half of the night. Xavier still didn't come back. Arya grabbed her phone and

wanted to call him. She hesitated for a moment, but she didn't call.

She walked barefoot to the window, opened the curtain, and looked out. It was pitch dark and she could

not see anything. But she inexplicably remembered the scene that Xavier and Ryan were running, and

she smiled...

At this moment, there was a beam of white light, and then a car came into her sight. The smile on her

face slowly faded. She looked at the man with a long figure getting out of the car.

Arya put down the curtains and still stood at the window. She was waiting for Xavier. For a while, she

heard footsteps, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Arya turned. "You're back?"

Xavier threw his coat on the sofa and tugged at his collar, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Arya walked over, hung up his coat, and said softly, "I'm waiting for you."
