Chapter 253
When he heard the sound of the door opening, Xavier looked up and saw Harriet coming in with
something in her hand. He could not help but frown.
"Xavier." Harriet placed the fruit plate on the desk and called him affectionately.
"You can go now." Xavier's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
Harriet didn't do as he said. She looked at him with her eyes wide open. "Xavier, we had a good time.
Can you be so heartless to me?"
Xavier sneered, "When did I ever have a good time with you? You should thank God that I don't settle
the score with you."
Harriet's face darkened. She didn't expect Xavier to be so cruel regardless of their past relationship. No
matter what, she had been with him for three years, right?
"What did you regard me as for the past three years?" Harriet couldn't accept Xavier being so
indifferent to her.
Xavier looked at her, so expressionless that he only spat out one word with extreme indifference,
"Substitute."
He had always wanted to find the feeling of the first contact from Harriet, but Harriet was never able to
give it to him.
Harriet sneered and didn't give up. "Even now I was not good enough for you?"
Now her family background, identity, and status could match his, yet it was still not enough?
"No." Without hesitation, he said determinedly.
Harriet stared at Xavier, "Okay, remember what you said."
Xavier's refusal hurt her self-esteem. She hated Xavier's ruthlessness and what Arya had.
Daisy went to the room to see if Ryan had woken up. When she came out, she saw Harriet running out
of Xavier's study. Her face darkened slightly. It was indeed awkward to be alone with Xavier, given her
relationship with Xavier, especially now when Arya was here. What if something happened? She was
still pregnant.
Daisy stopped her, "What are you doing in the study?"
Harriet was already upset about Xavier's refusal. Now as she was stopped by Daisy, she was even
more upset and sneered. "What can I do? Xavier and I used to be lovers. Of course, we talked about
the past."
Daisy didn't like her anyway, so she simply stopped trying to please her. Anyway, with Henry to protect
her, she could live a good life in the Jones Family.
"You..."
Daisy was so angry that she couldn't speak. 'How could she be so b*tchy?'
Harriet left Daisy and walked to her room.
Arya tidied up the kitchen and was about to go to her room when she saw Daisy standing in the
corridor and asked, "Mom, what are you standing there for?"
Daisy restrained her anger and held her hand, "You don't need to do the chores at home. Spend more
time with Xavier. He can't move easily now. He can't be alone."
Daisy said it implicitly. She couldn't be straightforward about this. She was afraid that Arya would think
too much. After all, Harriet and Xavier were lovers before.
Arya nodded half-confused, "I'll stay with him more."
Daisy was a little more relieved, "Go and rest. I'll take Ryan upstairs to sleep. I'll take care of him
tonight."
Arya nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to my room."
"Go ahead."
Arya did feel tired here, not physically, but mentally. Now with Harriet around, it made her tense all the
time.
She went back to her room and didn't want to take a shower, so she lay on the bed and vaguely heard
the door of the room being pushed open. She thought it was Xavier, so she didn't open her eyes. "Are
you done?"
"How long do you want us to be done?"
Hearing that it was not Xavier's voice, Arya suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw the person
standing by the bed, her face darkened and she said sternly, "Who let you in?"
Harriet lifted her collar, deliberately revealing the hickey on her neck, and said to herself, "I've been
with Xavier for almost four years. I thought I was the only one who still had feelings for him, but I didn't
expect him to have feelings for me, too. I just went to give him the fruit plate, so but he held me..."
Although she didn't finish what she said later, the meaning was self-evident.
"Really?" Arya glanced at the red mark on her neck.
"Of course, or what do you think we were doing in the study?" Harriet asked.
"Get the hell out of here!" Arya said in a low voice.
She didn't care whether she believed it or not, as long as she could make her troubles at the Jones
Family.
Harriet smiled and turned to leave the room.
Arya got up and closed the door. She went back to bed. Suddenly, she thought of Daisy's confusing
explanation. 'Did she say that because she had found something?' © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
'Otherwise, why would she say that out of no reason?'
Harriet and Xavier had been lovers, and for quite some time. There were feelings even if he had been
with a dog for some time.
Not to mention a pretty woman.
Arya rubbed her brows and had a terrible headache. She was upset.
Her previous sleepiness was gone.
At this moment, the door of the room was knocked. Arya didn't open the door but asked. "Who is it?"
"Me -"
Hearing Xavier's voice, Arya opened the door. After opening the door, she didn't even look at Xavier. It
was not because she believed in Harriet's words, but because she didn't like that they were lovers.
She did not believe that a man who could protect her with his life could betray her.
She rarely did this. Xavier immediately realized that she was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong?"
Arya walked to the cupboard and put on her pajamas. She didn't look back and pretended to ask
casually, "Have you been busy in the study for so long?"
"Yes."
"Oh." Arya said without any emotion. She took her clothes and went to the bathroom, "I'm going to take
a shower."
Xavier stared at her back, frowning.
He was a little confused about what she meant.
Thinking that there was another person at home who was up to no good, Xavier turned his wheelchair
and left the room. Harriet was talking to Henry in the living room. She had already offended Daisy, so
she had to please him for protection.
Xavier went to the living room. Harriet saw him first and greeted him with a smile as if the unpleasant
time in the study had never happened. "Xavier, why haven't you rested yet?"
"Harriet, I'm warning you, it's okay for you to live here. Don't plan for something evil. If I know what you
are up to..."
"Xavier, what are you talking about?!" Henry was unhappy. "She's your the Porter Family's only
granddaughter. How can you say that about her? Besides, you..."
"No matter who it is, if I know that she's making troubles at home, I won't show no mercy for her."
Xavier interrupted him because he knew what he was going to say.
Now that he was married, what happened between Harriet and him was only part of history.
And he never really loved her.
Henry's face darkened. 'Why does Xavier become like this?'
'Is it because of that woman?'
'She knows that Harriet and Xavier were lovers, so she deliberately targets Harriet?'
He was getting more and more dissatisfied with Arya.
Xavier went back to his room and locked the door. Just as he was about to take off his binding suit
jacket, Arya walked over and said, "I'll take it off for you."
Arya was wearing a nightgown of a very loose style with white silk and lace at the collar. It was not a
sexy style, but it was especially feminine on her.
Xavier stared at her dangling legs. Her skin was as delicate as white porcelain.
Xavier reached out his arm and hooked her waist. Arya looked down at him, parted her legs, and sat on
his laps. She lowered her head to kiss his lips...
