Chapter 98
Edward thought for a moment and said, "It's so far away. I didn't see it clearly. It seems that there are
two words 'marry you'."
Edward thought about it carefully again and confirmed, "I really saw it."
Xavier's expression became colder and colder. 'Is she willing to marry Jasper?'
There was a fire in his chest. It was stuffy. If Arya hadn't been uncomfortable, Xavier would have pulled
her up and asked her for an answer.
In fact, even if Edward didn't say anything, Xavier knew Jasper's purpose in getting close to Bridget.
Xavier even felt that the thing that Jasper's unexpectedly rescued Bridget was not an accident, but
premeditation.
Now that Jasper was Bridget's savior, it was not good for him to have a direct conflict with him.
"Your parents are abroad. Come to my house on Lunar New Year's Eve." Xavier trusted Edward.
They had always been good friends.
And Edward had fallen for Bridget for a long time. He gave up a good job abroad and left his parents
for Bridget. It was really rare.
Some words from Edward convinced Xavier. He had to protect Bridget from Jasper.
Xavier knew very well that Jasper would not like Bridget.
Jasper got close to Bridget for revenge, or for the connections of Mr. Jones, trying to ride on his
coattails.
Either way, it would hurt Bridget after she found out the truth.
Edward stood up excitedly. "Really? You will help me?"
Xavier looked up at him. "Are you really a doctor?"
Edward cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment. He was too excited just now.
Edward was very happy. Thinking of what Xavier wanted, he quickly took out the medicine from the box
and handed it to him. "Her scar left a mark because it was not healed. In fact, the medicine I gave her
last time, as long as she followed my instruction, it shouldn't leave a mark. This is a new scar removal
cream developed by the research institute. It is said that the effect is very good."
Xavier took the medicine, walked up, stood on the steps, and looked back at Edward. "It's too late. If
you don't want to go back, there's a guest room downstairs."
Edward shrugged. "Since you said so, I won't leave. It's freezing outside."
Although he drove here, he didn't want to bother to drive back anymore.
When Xavier returned to his room, Arya was already asleep soundly.
Xavier squeezed the ointment out and applied it to her scarred face.
It was a little cold, which made Arya move slightly. After finishing, Xavier lay down beside her. His
strong long arms held her in his arms. Arya was a little unhappy for she was moved. Although she was
not awake, she looked very impatient.
Xavier lowered his head, kissed her forehead, patted her on the back, and coaxed her to sleep.
When Arya woke up in the morning, Xavier was still asleep. It seemed that he hadn't rested well for the
past few days.
Xavier did not sleep well at home these days. He met the Harrison Family again. His marriage was
annulled. Harriet accepted the money from Xavier.
Mr. Jones came back and was a little unhappy to know what had happened. It was not because of
Marshal's crime, but because Xavier annulled his marriage.
Mr. Jones felt that it was not proper for Xavier to do this at this time.
After all, Harriet and Xavier had been engaged for so long, and it was unfair to Harriet just because
Harriet's brother committed a crime.
Xavier listened quietly without any explanation. In some ways, Mr. Jones was right.
Harriet didn't do anything wrong.
However, Xavier had already made a decision. He admitted that he was a little sorry for Harriet. After
all, she had been with him for so many years, but he was willing to compensate her in other ways.
Arya gently rolled out of bed, went to the closet to look for clothes, and put them on. She was still a little
weak from stomach pain and Xavier's violent sex yesterday. She felt hurt everywhere.
While Xavier was sleeping, she took out the contraceptive pill from the drawer. As soon as she picked
one, she heard a deep, hoarse voice. "Don't take it."
Arya turned around and saw Xavier looking at her. Her body stiffened.
"Don't take it? What if I am pregnant?" She thought.
She could not think about it, or she was physically and mentally exhausted. Being pregnant and giving
birth was something she was afraid of. After experiencing it once, she had drained all her feelings.
She didn't want to, really didn't want to experience again.
Xavier picked a cigarette from the table by the bed. The white mist wreathed around his fingertips. He
held the cigarette in his mouth and pulled Arya over. He let her sit on his lap and held her waist.
Arya's face was pressed against Xavier's chest. She quietly listened to his heartbeat, his breath, and
the smell of smoke lingering on the tip of his nose.
"Xavier..."
"Shh!" Xavier interrupted Arya and knew what she was going to ask. If she was lucky enough to be
pregnant, he would marry her.
Xavier pressed the cigarette into the ashtray and picked up Arya. "Have breakfast with me."
Before they left, he even poured out the birth control pills and threw them into the trash can.
Arya looked at him in silence, thinking that he was on a whim.
Arya never believed that he would let her give birth to his child.
And from the bottom of her heart, she felt that Xavier was a fickle and ungrateful person like Richard.
Richard betrayed her mother and kept a mistress. Xavier could abandon his fiancee who had been
engaged for so long. 'He is really a fickle man.'
Xavier might like her now, but what about later when the novelty disappeared?
Arya refused to give birth to his child from the bottom of her heart.
If Xavier heard her thought, he would probably want to strangle her to death.
Arya did not let him hug her, feeling that it was embarrassing if Nanny Joy saw them like that. Xavier
remembered that Edward was also here, so he did not force her but just held her shoulder.
Nanny Joy was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Edward followed Nanny Joy around, asking
questions one and another. Fortunately, Nanny Joy was patient. If she had a bad temper, she must be
angry.
Edward was a chatbox.
Xavier's eyes twitched at Edward's boring questions. "What are you doing?"
"I heard from Nanny Joy that she knew how to make spring rolls. I asked her how. When I know how to
make spring rolls, I will make it for Bridget. Didn't she like spring rolls the most?" Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward was in high spirits. He really liked Bridget.
He could hold on for so long and didn't give up even if Bridget didn't like him.
Xavier's expression was a little funny. "Can't you change your way?"
Edward ignored him. He was happy. He just liked Bridget. He wanted to love her in his own way.
Seeing Arya, Edward slightly controlled himself. He didn't know how to face Arya.
'Who is Arya to Xavier?'
'Xavier's lover? Or mistress?'
'Should I call her Mrs. Jones, or her name directly?'
He couldn't understand what Arya meant to Xavier.
To avoid calling wrong, Edward didn't greet Arya.
Arya glanced at Edward several times. He liked Bridget so her mood became complicated when she
thought of meeting Bridget in the Clinton's.
Bridget obviously liked Jasper.
If Jasper liked Bridget, she was happy that Bridget would be with Jasper.
Bridget was really a good girl, beautiful, sunny, and straightforward.
Perhaps she was selfish. She hoped that Jasper would be happy.
And she didn't know Edward well.
Nanny Joy learned from Edward that Arya had a bad stomach and cooked millet porridge in the
morning.
Arya ate a bowl of porridge and her stomach felt warm and comfortable.
After dinner, Nanny Joy cleaned up the dishes and went into the kitchen. Edward left first.
Xavier pulled Arya into the room. The day after tomorrow was Lunar New Year's Eve. He had no time
to come over these two days.
But he had to warn Arya first, "Don't meet him while I'm away!"
Arya naturally knew who Xavier was referring to. In fact, even if Xavier didn't warn her, she wouldn't
see him.
She promised Jasper's parents so that she couldn't go back on her promise.
Madam Clinton was right. She had already made Jasper suffer once. She couldn't do it again.
Arya said, "I won't."
Only then did Xavier feel a little satisfied. He hugged Arya's waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Arya pushed him impatiently. "I didn't brush my teeth after the meal."
Xavier's eyes were filled with a faint smile, and he teased her. "You dirty girl."
Soon it was Lunar New Year's Eve. Xavier had not been to the villa for the past two days, and the
company was on holiday.
After a busy year, the villa seemed a little lonely with only Arya and Nanny Joy.
Although there were only two of them, Nanny Joy still prepared everything.
How many years had it been like this? Arya almost couldn't remember.
It seemed that after her mother died, and then she was sent to prison. She was always alone on this
day that her family should be reunited.
Nanny Joy glanced at Arya, who had a lonely expression on her face, and comforted her. "When Mr.
Jones leaves, he tells me to take good care of you. He will come over when he is free."
Arya responded in a low mood. She didn't eat much during dinner. After she put down her bowl, she
went upstairs alone.
The snow had melted, and it had been sunny for the past few days. Although it was still cold, there was
a warm sun during the day and there were stars at night.
She sat on the windowsill, hugging her knees and looking at the stars.
It was once said that a person would turn into a star in the sky after he died.
'Did my child become a star, and which one is my child?'
Unknowingly, a tear slid down the corner of her eye, shining brightly against the moonlight.
At this moment, the phone at her feet rang. She wiped the corner of her eyes and lowered her head.
She thought it was Xavier, but it was Caspar.
'Why does he call me at this time?' This was supposed to be a happy time for the whole family. 'Why
would he call me?'
Something must have happened, so she picked it up.
Caspar's hurried voice immediately came over. "Come to the First People's Hospital immediately..."
