Chapter 249
Rufus' eyes dimmed slightly and he smiled. "It's okay. We'll be familiar if we talk more, right?"
Arya ignored him and wanted to leave, but he grabbed her arm. "Don't leave. Why don't we find a place
to have a chat?"
"We have nothing to talk about. Leave me alone!" Arya said coldly.
Rufus didn't let go, as if he hadn't heard what Arya said. "Harriet is your sister, right? She is my ex-
girlfriend. Now Xavier is awake, but can he still satisfy you in bed?"
Arya slapped him in the face and said angrily, "Watch your language!"
Rufus had never been slapped before, let alone slapped by a woman.
He stared at Arya grimly, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Arya met his gaze fearlessly. "Of course I know. Teach a satyr to be polite, is it wrong?"
Rufus narrowed his eyes. The more Arya was recalcitrant, the more interested he was in her. He had
seen too many gentle and flattering women.
He dragged Arya into his arms and held her waist. "You know what? No woman has ever dared to slap
me."
"Let me go!" Arya struggled in his arms and scolded him.
The more she struggled, the tighter Rufus held her.
"If you don't let go, I'll shout for help!" Arya was furious, but she didn't dare to make any big move. The
doctor had told her that the abdominal pain was related to the instability of the fetus. So she was very
careful and dared not to come into conflict with Rufus to protect the fetus.
"Mr. Gates, please let her go!" Jasper walked over and pulled Rufus away. "How dare you do this in
public?"
Rufus sneered and looked at Jasper, "I'm sure I'm not as despicable as you are, who takes advantage
of women."
There were not many people who knew about Jasper and Bridget's divorce, but Rufus knew it. Rufus
knew the reason why Jasper married Bridget was that he wanted to take advantage of Henry's status
to gain promotion.
That's why he divorced Bridget as soon as he was promoted to deputy director.
Smart as Xavier, how could he allow Jasper to take advantage of Bridget?
Rufus was curious about this.
Many people gathered, stopped to watch them, and wondered if they were putting on an affair. They
were all influential people. If they were watched by those with bad intentions, fake gossips could be
made up.
So Rufus let go of Arya.
Jasper understood what Rufus meant and grabbed his collar. "What did you say?"
"Listen carefully. You got your status by utilizing a woman. Without Bridget, can you get the same
position today?"
Arya dragged Jasper away, "Let's go."
She pulled Jasper.
Rufus tidied up the wrinkles on his collar and looked at Arya and Jasper's back. He smiled, seeming to
have found something.
After walking for a while, Arya let go of Jasper, "Thank you for helping me just now."
After that, Arya walked away quickly. Jasper caught up with her, "I'll send you back."
"No, thanks."
Arya refused decisively. She wanted to avoid misunderstandings.
Jasper's face darkened, "We've known each other for four years. Even if we're not lovers now, can't we
be friends anymore?"
He had a hard time recently. When he overheard about Arya's pregnancy from Orlando, he knew that
Arya and he couldn't get together again.
From everything she did during Xavier's coma, he could tell that she loved Xavier.
He knew they were impossible, but he still couldn't let it go. He could only bury his love deep in his
heart and treat her as a friend.
"No, thanks." Arya pointed to the car not far away, "Someone is waiting for me."
Jasper looked across the street. It was the driver of the Jones Family. He was waiting for Arya with a
cake in his hand.
Ryan wanted to eat Melaleuca Mango Mousse. When the driver sent Arya to the hospital, Arya asked
him to buy a cake.
This kind of cake was more delicious when made fresh.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Jasper did not continue following her. He stood still and looked at Arya. "After spending so much time
with you, I still love you. I don't expect you to respond to my feelings. I just hope you don't treat me like
a stranger."
Jasper calmed down and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Arya, I wish you happiness, sincerely. I'm
very happy to see you through all your hardships."
After saying that, Jasper turned around and walked in the opposite direction. They walked their paths
respectively, in different directions. They are destined to be separated.
If he couldn't let it go, he would bury it so that no one could see his pain.
Arya turned around and looked at Jasper's lonely figure. She felt very sorry. She knew that she owed
Jasper the most, but she had already fallen in love with Xavier, and she could not love Jasper anymore.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Arya whispered, her eyes glistening with water.
Jasper did not stop or turn around at all. Maybe he was stupid, but who could be sober in love?
The driver asked in a low voice, "Madam, shall we go now?"
Arya sat back in the car and said, "Let's go."
Arya got into the car, and the driver helped her close the door before driving. Arya was very depressed.
She quietly looked out of the window at the passing scenery.
When they arrived at the Old Residence, the driver wanted to open the door for Arya, but she had
already got off the car herself. Then she wanted to take the cake from the driver, "Give it to me."
The driver quickly handed it over.
Nanny May opened the door for her, took the cake from her hand, and said with a smile, "It's for Ryan,
isn't it?"
Arya smiled and said yes.
When she walked in, she didn't see Xavier. But Daisy was talking to Harriet in the living room.
Seeing Arya come in, Harriet proactively greeted her, "Hi, sister."
Her tone sounded like this was her home, and Arya was only a guest.
Arya nodded slightly, with no expression on her face.
Daisy didn't like Harriet's attitude. She didn't expect Harriet to be so scheming. "Harriet, since you're
not from the Harrison Family, you don't have to call her as you used to. Just call her Arya like what
Bridget does."
Harriet felt unhappy and clenched her hands. 'Like What Bridget does, doesn't it admit her relationship
with Xavier?'
Harriet didn't want to admit it.
She really didn't want to!
"Isn't that good?" Daisy knew Harriet was unhappy, so asked her deliberately.
Harriet bit her lip and said. "That's OK."
"Xavier is waiting for you in the backyard. Go ahead." Daisy said to Arya.
