Chapter 289
"Baby, your hair is so elastic..."
Arya looked up silently, hoping that the elevator could come sooner.
Xavier seemed to have found something very interesting and was not anxious at all. He wrapped a
strand of Arya's hair around his finger and kept twirling it.
With a "ding", the elevator came to a halt. The two people in front of them squeezed in. The man was
not very tall. He was only 1.60 meters tall, with a beer belly and a thick gold chain around his neck. He
looked like a nouveau riche.
The woman in high heels was much taller than the man. It was she who nestled against the man's
chest, but it looked like it was the other way round. How funny.
After entering the elevator, the two of them did not stop flirting as if no one was there.
Xavier let Arya stand at the corner. He stood in front of her, blocking her view.
What happened in front of him was too nasty.
"Oh... You're hurting me." The woman moaned, which could easily trigger one's imagination.
"Little b*tch, I'll let you moan as you please when we get back to the room." The woman's cooperation
made the man very excited. If it weren't because they were in the elevator, he would have stripped the
woman naked here.
Arya really wanted to see what Xavier's expression was at this moment. She raised her head and met
a pair of deep eyes in which she could see herself.
His gaze was intense and gentle.
It was as if she was the only one in the world.
There was nothing else in his eyes.
The elevator stopped and quickly closed again. This time, it was just the two of them. Xavier leaned
over and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"
Arya cleared her throat and said, "Nothing."
After that, Arya pushed him away and walked out of the elevator.
Xavier walked out after her with a slight smile. Arya opened the door and was stunned to see the
people in the room.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to leave or walk in.
This was the first time Daisy and Bridget had appeared after what had happened that day.
"Arya." Bridget stood up.
Daisy was playing with Ryan. When she heard Bridget talking, she turned around and saw Arya
standing at the door. She said with a smile, "You're back."
Arya compressed her lips and nodded.
She did not directly respond to Bridget's greeting.
The smile on Xavier's face disappeared after he knew that Daisy came. He walked in with Arya in his
arms and did not look at anyone. He picked up Ryan and played with him, completely ignoring Daisy
and Bridget.
Daisy knew that Xavier was unhappy and wanted to explain, but she couldn't say a word.
How should she explain?
Arya was forced to sign the divorce agreement. What else could she say?
Bridget was unhappy. She didn't think it was their fault.
"Brother, you can't blame Dad for this. Mom and I also saw Rufus go to the villa. He keeps pestering
Arya, not to mention that the Gates Family and we have always been at loggerheads. If I were you, I
would not be happy, either..."
"Bridget." Daisy interrupted her.
Xavier was already unhappy. Wouldn't it make him even angrier?
Of course, Bridget knew that Xavier was unhappy, but she couldn't let Xavier and Henry hold any
grudges against each other for this matter.
Even if Arya had been wronged in this matter, Bridget could not side with her.
Xavier remained calm and expressionless.
'What are they doing here?'
He picked up Ryan, walked up to Arya, and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Let's go out for dinner."
These women could stay here if they didn't want to leave.
Arya didn't move. Was it not appropriate for him to do this?
Xavier said with a cold look. "What are you hesitating for? You care about other people's feelings, but
have they ever cared about yours?"
He was talking to Arya, but Daisy and Bridget's faces turned pale.
Arya was pulled away by Xavier.
He didn't want to argue with Daisy, but he was unhappy, very unhappy.
Xavier left, obviously unwilling to forgive Daisy. Bridget's face turned red with anger. Being ignored on
purpose made her feel worse than being scolded.
"How can he do this? We're still here and he just left."
Daisy didn't look good either.
The atmosphere in the room was quite awkward.
Nanny Joy stood aside and did not dare to say anything. It was not appropriate for her to speak at this
time.
Daisy took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. It is meaningless for us to stay here."
In the end, she was responsible for this. If she had been a little tougher at that time, maybe things
wouldn't have turned out like this.
"She's pregnant for months. Please take good care of her." After all, Daisy still cared about Arya.
Nanny Joy nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry."
Daisy nodded.
Although she cared about what Xavier did, standing in Xavier's shoes, she wasn't that angry.
The next day, Xavier went to the Old Residence alone and did not take Arya with him.
Xavier didn't tell Arya about this at all.
He didn't want her to be upset.
When Henry saw that Xavier was alone, his face darkened.
Harriet sat next to Cullen on the sofa. Henry didn't want Daisy to know about this, so early in the
morning, he asked Bridget to talk her out.
"Why are you alone?" Henry asked.
Xavier didn't answer. He threw the thing in his hand on the table and sat down on the sofa. "Why do
you ask so many people to handle what I can handle alone?"
Henry heaved a heavy sigh as if he had expected it.
"Mr. Porter." Xavier greeted Cullen.
No matter what his relationship with Harriet was, Xavier respected him.
To be honest, if it weren't for his son back then, Henry might have died.
Xavier had to and should respect him.
Cullen nodded slightly, "I'm not making things difficult for you either. If Harriet is really wronged, you
have to give me an explanation."
"Okay." Xavier agreed readily, then changed the subject. "But if you wronged my people, you must
apologize in public."
Harriet sat quietly from the beginning to the end. When she heard Xavier talking so confidently, her
heart lurched. Did he know something?
But he probably wouldn't find any evidence since he had just come back, so Harriet calmed down a
little. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Cullen agreed, "Of course."
After a brief silence, Xavier looked up at Harriet and asked, "I heard you were beaten?"
Looking at Xavier's deep eyes, Harriet was a little timid.
"Arya did it, didn't she?" Xavier continued.
Harriet bit her lips and clenched her hands tightly, "I don't blame her..."
"All you have to do is answer me yes or no." Xavier interrupted her impatiently.
