Chapter 286
"Henry, it's none of your business. It's my fault..."
"Would you be beaten like this by accident?" Cullen frowned and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes
deepened. Wasn't she lying?
Harriet lowered her head and endured her grievances. "Grandpa, don't be angry. It's really my fault."
"Harriet, you were beaten up while you lived with us. You have to explain who did this so that I can give
your grandfather and your father an explanation." Henry said.
Cullen looked serious as if he was waiting for Harriet's answer.
He was not angry with Henry because he knew what kind of person he was.
Harriet was injured now. He blamed himself more than anyone else.
Harriet bit her lip as if she was in a difficult position.
"Tell me who hurt you. I will do you justice." In the past, Henry didn't think Harriet was bad, but now
looking at her, he always felt uncomfortable.
She stammered and stuttered, with none of the integrity of the Porter Family.
Harriet looked up and opened her eyes, with tears in her eyes. "It was Arya. She thought I did
something to make her leave the Jones Family."
Cullen looked at Henry. "What's going on?"
"Grandpa. It was Xavier's wife who beat me. But they're divorced now, and I'm fine, so there's no need
to pursue it." Harriet quickly interjected.
She pretended to be kind.
Henry looked calm as if the answer was unexpected.
'How could it be her?'
"I want to see her." Cullen was a little angry. "Who is she? How dare she hurt my granddaughter?"
In the past, he would not be so decisive. Perhaps because he was getting older and had just met his
only granddaughter. It was only because he loved his granddaughter so much that he was so angry.
Xavier had never been to the Old Residence since he came back, which meant that he was angry.
If Arya was called back now, he would definitely not agree.
Henry was in a dilemma.
"What, are you trying to protect her?" Cullen said coldly.
"No." Henry respected Cullen very much, not just because of his son, but because Cullen taught him
like a teacher when he first joined the army, and then pushed him to his current position.
He could not refuse his request.
"When do you want to see her?"
Cullen thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow."
Henry nodded.
"I want to be alone with Harriet. You can go back first." Cullen waved his hand.
Henry left the room.
Harriet acted coquettishly to Cullen, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to worry you."
Cullen snorted coldly. He looked angry, but in fact, he doted on her, "Tell me, why did you call me
here?"
He wouldn't believe that she deliberately called him because she was injured.
Harriet got off the bed and bent over to hug Cullen in the wheelchair. Cullen was 80 years old. He had
a disease a while ago and was in a wheelchair, "That's my Grandpa who understands me." Harriet
turned to Cullen and looked at him. "Grandpa, did you know that it should be me who married Xavier?
We were engaged for many years. When we were about to get married, Arya seduced Xavier. That's
why I was single until now. Grandpa, I still like him."
Cullen saw through Harriet's thoughts and asked with a frown, "What do you want me to do?"
"Grandpa, can you let Xavier marry me? I still like him very much." Harriet tugged at Cullen's sleeve.
Cullen knew Xavier but didn't have many contacts. He knew that Xavier was a very capable young man
and had his own opinions.
Many years ago, Henry wanted him to go to the army, but he didn't want to go and didn't listen to
anyone.
If he didn't want to do this, it would be a little difficult.
"Grandpa." Harriet acted coquettishly. "With our relationship with the Jones Family, if you mention it to
them, they won't refuse."
Cullen wanted to find a reliable man for his granddaughter before he died. Xavier was indeed a good
and suitable person. After all, the Porter Family and the Jones Family had a very close relationship, so
it was great that Harriet could live in the Jones Family.
"Well, I'll try." Cullen was uncertain about Xavier.
So he didn't promise her.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Harriet was happy.
Cullen touched her head. "Have a rest."
Harriet smiled and said, "Okay."
At this moment, the Deputy who followed Cullen came in and whispered in his ear, "I've already bought
it."
Cullen nodded. "Harriet, have a good rest. I'll go meet someone."
Harriet nodded obediently, "I'll wait for you to have dinner tonight."
"Okay."
The Deputy pushed Cullen out of the ward.
There was another follower outside the door, with a bunch of chrysanthemums in his hand, following
behind Cullen.
In Eastlawn Cemetery.
Arya got out of the car with a bunch of daisies in her hands. Her mother loved these flowers the most
when she was alive, so Arya bought them before she came.
She held Ryan's hand and walked towards the garden. She walked up the steps made of slate. Ryan
looked up at Arya, "Mommy, what are we doing here?"
Arya looked down at Ryan, "I'll take you to meet one of my relatives."
"Who's that?" Ryan was confused.
"I'll tell you when we get there." Arya said.
Ryan obediently followed Arya, stepped on the stairs, and stopped in front of a tombstone.
Arya stroked the black and white photo on the tombstone, with a faint sadness on her face, "Mom, I'm Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
here to see you, with Ryan."
She had thought that when the Jones Family accepted her, she would come to see her with Xavier and
Ryan and tell her that she was living a good life now, but now she only had Ryan, and the future of her
and Xavier was unknown.
She didn't know if she could be with Xavier under Henry's objections. And she didn't know how long her
current relationship would last.
Arya bent over and placed the flowers in front of the tombstone. "Ryan, kneel down."
Ryan blinked as if infected by Arya's sadness. He knelt obediently and said to the tombstone,
"Grandma, I'm here to see you."
At this moment, Ryan was so well-behaved that even Arya was surprised, so she touched Ryan's
head.
Ryan looked up and asked, "This is my grandmother, right?"
Arya nodded. She looked at the tombstone and said, "Mom, this is my son. I'm... Living a good life now.
I just miss you sometimes."
Her voice slowly choked up. Her life was not bad or good. Many times, she wanted to take Ryan away,
but she was reluctant to give up on Xavier.
She was deep in the swamp.
"Mom, what should I do..."
Ryan hugged Arya. He didn't want her mother to be sad. "Mommy, you have me, and Daddy. Daddy
and I will protect you for Grandma."
Arya kissed Ryan on the forehead. Yes, at least she already had a lot.
Arya did not dare to stay here for long. After all, she was pregnant and not suitable to stay in such a
place for long. She stood in front of the tombstone holding Ryan's hand and bowed three times to the
tombstone. "Mom, I'll come to see you again in the future."
"I'll come too," said Ryan.
Arya held Ryan's hand. "Let's go."
However, when they turned around, they saw someone behind them...
