Chapter 180
Chapter 180
Arya knew what it meant when she agreed to go back to the Jones Family with Xavier.
At this time, she made it clear of her relationship with Jasper to let Xavier trust her.
Suddenly, the car stopped abruptly. Xavier said, "I'd like to come out for a smoke."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and got out of the car. He took out a cigarette from his pocket to
smoke, trying to calm himself down. But the thought of Arya's words made him increasingly confused
and upset. His cigarette dropped.
His pent-up emotions were released. He turned and punched the tree trunk behind him.
Arya was startled and quickly got out of the car. At the knuckles of his fingers, the skin was broken and
blood oozed out. "I've already explained. Why are you still angry? Look at your hands..."
He suddenly pulled her into his strong embrace.
Her body was tightly held by two pincer-like arms, and she could hardly breathe.
Xavier knew that it was not easy for her to give birth to Ryann there, but it was different to hear her say
it.
He blamed himself for not knowing their existence and for the pain Arya had suffered.
"I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with myself."
Arya smiled and hugged him back. "The past is not important. What matters is the future."
Knowing that Ryan was still alive, she felt much relieved. She just wanted to cure Ryan's illness so that
he could go to kindergarten like a normal child.
She would be satisfied to watch him grow up, go to primary school, middle school, college, and have a
family.
This was something she didn't think about in the past, and it might come true in the future.
Xavier held her for a long time before calming down. "From now on, I am always with you," he said.
Arya nodded hard. "I know. Let's go home. Ryan is still home."
Xavier carried her into the car. "Don't meet him alone anymore. It's best not to meet him."
Xavier was still unhappy with Jasper who was like a pain in the ass for him.
However, he couldn't do anything to Jasper. On the one hand, he once protected Arya, on the other
hand, he saved Bridget.
He couldn't do anything to Jasper both emotionally and logically.
But it upset Xavier. He reached out to take the cigarette and found that it was gone. He dropped it and
didn't pick it up.
Arya saw through him. "You are dying for a smoke."
Xavier looked sideways at her and said, "I'm much more dying for you."
In fact, Xavier didn't lie. He liked Arya and had no resistance to her.
Arya didn't understand what he meant at first. Her face turned red when she reacted.
She was speechless.
She was too shy to look at Xavier and turned her eyes outside the window.
Suddenly, Xavier grabbed her hand and held it tightly. He looked at her seriously. "I'll take you home
tomorrow."
Arya's expression became serious. "Daisy..."
"They want to see you. I thought about not letting you meet them, but..."
"I know, I can." Arya understood what Xavier meant.
And Edward said that Ryan's illness could not wait and she would have to face it sooner or later.
From the moment she promised Xavier, she was prepared mentally.
The next day, Xavier took Ryan and Arya to the Jones Family's house.
The car drove smoothly on the road, but Arya was a little uneasy.
Knowing what she was worried about, Xavier reached out to hold her hand and reassured, "I've got
everything covered, so you don't have to worry too much."
If Arya hadn't been involved with Jasper, Xavier might not have brought her here so soon. He had no
intention of accepting Mr. Jones's idea.
But now, he urgently needed to give Arya an identity so that Jasper could not get close to her.
Arya pressed her lips together and nodded. No matter how much preparation she had made before,
she was still a little nervous when it happened. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
She calmed down for holding Xavier's warm big hand.
The two of them got out of the car one after another. Xavier carried Ryan out of the children's seat in
the back seat. Afraid that Arya would be nervous, he took her hand and walked into the house.
Xavier had told his family about it before they came. There were no outsiders, only the Jones Family.
They all sat on the sofa in the living room. They are waiting for them.
As Daisy had seen Arya, her face was expressionless Mr. Jones was surprised, but soon calmed down.
"Aren't you Jasper's girlfriend?" he asked.
He remembered seeing her at the airport once.
Arya's hand tightened slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Xavier answered for her first.
"They're just ordinary friends."
At this moment, Mr. Jones seemed to understand why Daisy was so against her. Not only did she have
a child, but she was also involved with another man. Mr. Jones got a bad impression of her.
His eyes rested on Ryan. "Are you Ryan?" asked Mr. Jones.
Ryan nodded. "Grandpa, I'm Ryan."
"Come here." Mr. Jones waved at him.
He was not going to get involved in such a thing, as he was in no position to do so. He let Daisy make
everything clear to them.
Xavier put Ryan down. He ran up to Mr. Jones, reached out, and touched Mr. Jones's face. He said,
blinking his eyes, "You are my grandfather?"
"Well, why do you say that?" asked Mr. Jones.
Ryan pouted and replied after thinking for a moment, "I can call many older people grandpa and
grandma, but that's a polite way to address them. Dad said that he would bring me here today to meet
my grandfather."
Mr. Jones looked up at Xavier and was dissatisfied with him, but he still liked Ryan very much.
He took Ryan in his arms. "I'll take you to see my treasures."
Hearing his words, Ryan was full of expectations. Although it was his first time seeing Mr. Jones, he did
not find himself distant or cold, as if he was very familiar with him.
Perhaps that was the reason why they were related by blood.
Bridget was shocked when Arya came in. She never thought that the woman Xavier liked would be her.
However, she was glad that if Arya married Xavier, she would have a chance to be with Jasper.
"It's been a while." Bridget greeted her.
Knowing that she meant the last time they met at Clinton Family, Arya didn't answer and smiled politely.
If Daisy knew that she had even been to Clinton Family, she would probably hate Arya even more.
Daisy's face darkened. "Have a seat."
Xavier didn't like Daisy's attitude and emphasized, "She's my son's mother, the woman I loved."
"You..."
Daisy was furious after hearing his words. But soon she calmed down. She thought about it all night
and realized that Xavier wouldn't give in on this matter, so she decided to start with Arya.
Looking at Arya, she said in a pleading tone, "As long as your family background is normal and you are
a woman of integrity, I can accept you. But look at yourself. Do you think you meet our standards? I
don't expect you to have a family background that matches ours. At least you have to behave with
integrity. You had Ryan before you get married. I heard you were involved with Jasper..."
"Just tell me!" Suddenly Xavier interrupted Daisy.
He couldn't listen to any more of this.
Xavier took out a cigarette and lit it. He threw the lighter on the table and looked up at Daisy. "I'm going
to marry a wife. I don't think family background is important. It's my fault for having Ryan before she
gets married. How can you blame her?"
