Chapter 177
Daisy was speechless.
But she was even angrier, snapping, "Don't forget, you promised me to leave."
Then Daisy paused, smiled, and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm stupid. I actually believe a prisoner like
you. It's a joke you will do what you say!"
Daisy's words made Arya feel worse than scolding her directly.
Arya's hands were trembling.
"Are you leaving on your own or are you to be against me?" Daisy calmed down.
Arya had no choice. No matter how Arya chose, it would only benefit Daisy.
If Arya chose to leave on her own and Xavier asked about it later, Daisy could say that Arya meant to
do it.
If Arya chose to stay, then Daisy could also fight against Arya.
Anyway, it was Arya who wanted to stay.
Arya knew what Daisy meant and was in a dilemma.
Daisy deliberately said, "If you still fulfill your promise now, I'm willing to believe you, okay?"
"What promise?" Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open and Xavier stood at the door.
One could not see clearly the expression on his face.
Daisy froze.
'Why is he here? When did he come back? Did he hear the conversation?'
Xavier strode in, leaning against the desk in a lazy posture, took a cigarette in his mouth.
"Why don't you continue?"
His eyes slowly turned to Arya. "Tell me what you promised her."
Daisy's eyes were fixed on Arya as if she warned Ayra against letting their secret out.
Even if Daisy did not warn her, Arya did not intend to say anything.
It was not what she wanted to see that Xavier and Daisy fought against each other.
Arya smiled and said as if nothing had happened. "You heard wrong."
"Really?"
"Yes." Arya met Xavier's gaze without hesitation.
Arya knew she could not avoid eye contact with Xavier, or he would doubt her.
"Well, I'm here to take Ryan away with me today. It's getting late. I'll take him away now."
Daisy did not even look at Xavier and left.
"Wait a minute." Xavier threw away the cigarette butt and walked over. "You can't take him away!"
Then he pulled Arya out.
"Stop." Daisy was shaking with anger.
Xavier ignored her words. Arya spoke, "Xavier, don't do this."
Xavier paid no attention to Arya's words. He just held her hand tightly to prevent her from breaking free
and pulled her upstairs.
When the door of the room closed, Arya asked, "How can you do this?"
Daisy was Xavier's mother after all. It was conceivable how angry Daisy would be.
"How?" Xavier asked.
Of course, he would bring Ryan back to the Jones Family, but not this time.
He had already thought about it. When Mr. Jones came back, he would take Ryan and Arya back ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
together.
He couldn't bring Ryan went back alone now.
He had his own thoughts.
Arya tilted her head. "I just don't want you to be like this. Or I'll blame myself for ruining your
relationship..."
"So, you promised her to leave me?" Xavier interrupted her coldly.
Arya's eyes turned red.
Not long after Daisy arrived, Xavier came back and almost heard their conversation from beginning to
end.
He would not like to make Arya embarrassed so he did not question her in front of Daisy.
Arya was the one who was hurt, but she was still thinking about someone else.
Xavier felt gloomy.
He pulled Arya into his arms and hugged her tightly. "After you disappeared, I have always wanted to
tell you that I can not live without you since that night four years ago."
Arya turned her head to one side and closed her eyes. Tears were like a flood that burst into her eyes.
Xavier reached out to wipe her tears. "Marry me. Let's give Ryan home and give me a chance to make
up for you."
Arya opened her eyes and looked at Xavier. She could see herself from his dark eyes.
Arya stroked his cheek. "Can we be together?"
Xavier held the back of her hand with his big palm and rubbed his face against her hand, replied firmly,
"Yes."
He could deal with any obstacle.
Arya knew that things were not that simple, but at this moment, she did not want to think about it, just
wanted to follow her heart and be with him.
They had quarreled, but the moment they knew they wanted to be with each other, they felt happy.
Xavier lowered his head and bit her lips as if he was punishing her. "You took what I said for granted. If
you promise anyone anything again, I won't let you go so easily."
Arya said, "Okay."
Daisy had not been here again.
Arya did not mention what happened that day, just let Xavier deal with it.
She just worked and took care of Ryan every day.
Before getting off work, Arya called Nanny Joy and said she would not go back to dinner. After work,
she went to the restaurant with Orlando. When they arrived, Selena and Caspar had already arrived.
Arya naturally needed to meet them since she finally went back.
During dinner, Caspar handed Arya an invitation. He was going to marry Selena.
The pink invitation with their wedding photos was beautiful and romantic.
Arya smiled and put it away. "I'll be there."
And she would prepare a big gift.
She was very grateful to Caspar for taking care of Ryan for so long.
Arya looked at Orlando. "What about you?"
"What?" Orlando pretended not to know what Arya meant.
"Arya is asking you when you get married." Selena had been working with Orlando for so long that she
knew that he seemed not interested in getting married. Orlando even had no girlfriend.
Orlando took a sip of wine and looked like he was fooling around. "Getting married? It's so nice and
free to be alone. Those who choose to get married, like you, are all ruining your love. Haven't you
heard the saying that marriage is the grave of love?"
Selena glared at him.
Then Caspar and Selena got Orlando drunk.
After dinner, it was a little late. Arya was a little drunk with her face red, but her mind was clear.
Selena and Caspar sent Orlando away. Arya took a taxi and got off the car at the intersection of a
mountain.
She was not sober and wanted to take a walk.
She walked along the roadside and suddenly noticed someone standing not far from her.
