Chapter 244
Arya responded actively after a short surprise. She put her arms around his neck and took the initiative
to make out with him...
She picked up Xavier's hand and placed it on her abdomen. She said in a very low voice. "Our child is
here."
They've missed the time of Ryan's growth, so she hoped to be together with Xavier this time. She
looked forward to the birth of their baby and watched the baby grow up.
Three-month pregnancy was not obvious. She could only feel a bulge on her stomach.
Xavier had no idea how to respond, with his hands being stiff. It was the first time that he had this
feeling, and a sweetness gushed from inside.
Arya rested her head on his shoulder and felt somehow pleasant seeing him being nervous.
It was long before Xavier took it easy. His palm pressed against her abdomen and he could clearly feel
her body temperature.
Xavier extended his hand and brushed her forehead and cheeks with his fingers. She was still very
thin.
When he woke up, Jacob told him what had happened during this period of time.
He didn't expect Arya to guess his intention.
He didn't expect her to be so calm and strong.
She gave him a lot of feelings he had never known before. Her patience, her tenacity, her
determination, and her smiles were so vivid and charming that he was deeply attracted.
Xavier leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Thank you."
Arya stayed lazily in his arms and looked up slightly at his face. "Why do you thank me?"
"... A lot of reasons."
Arya was equally serious and said, "I want to thank you too..." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
'You didn't give up saving me when I was in danger. You risked your life protecting me.'
Xavier held her even more tightly...
In the evening, Daisy asked the servants to prepare a lot of dishes.
Arya pushed Xavier out. Ryan pounced on him and wanted Xavier to embrace him.
Xavier picked up Ryan and placed him on his lap.
"Dad, you're finally back." Ryan pressed closer to Xavier's body in his arms.
"Hmm? Why did you say that?"
"Mommy said it would take long for you to come back. I thought I would not see you for a long time."
Xavier rubbed his hair and Daisy came over to hold him. "I will take you to dinner."
The atmosphere at the table was subtly strange, with only the voices of Joshua and Ryan being heard.
Daisy was sullen and she made several attempts to speak but failed.
Arya found that Daisy had something in mind, and asked, "Mom, is anything wrong?"
Daisy glanced at Arya and finally looked at Xavier. After thinking for a few seconds, she said to Xavier,
"Your father knows about what happened to Bridget, so he'll be back tomorrow."
They all knew that Henry was fond of Bridget.
Bridget followed Henry to the army when she was very little. Anyone in the army would suffer a lot.
In some aspects, Bridget fulfilled Henry's wish. She followed in her father's footsteps as a daughter.
Bridget joined the army instead of Xavier.
Bridget was divorced and lost her baby. What's worse, she was mentally ill. Because of all the miseries,
he got angry at Daisy on the phone.
This matter had been related to Arya to some extent and Xavier didn't tell Henry about what happened
to him. He probably would be very angry when he came back to see the situation.
So, she was worried.
Xavier knew what Daisy was worried about. Whatever the case was, he would not allow any more
grievances to Arya because of Bridget.
Arya also understood why Daisy hesitated so much. Between Bridget and Jasper, she didn't even know
what role she played.
She hoped they could live a good life. On the one hand, Jasper had a good relationship with her. On
the other hand, it's also her wish for Bridget to live well because Bridget was Xavier's sister.
However, things didn't turn out the way she wanted. She didn't want to see them falling into such a
situation.
Daisy spoke out because she wanted them to get prepared mentally.
After dinner, Arya pushed Xavier back to their room. The door of the room was closed. Xavier held
Arya's hand, and Arya stood behind him, not moving a little.
She knew what Xavier was worried about. He had just recovered from his illness and she didn't want
him to worry too much about her, "You don't need to worry about me."
As to this matter, Xavier was in a dilemma. He couldn't be too merciless to his family members.
However, he didn't want Arya to be aggrieved a little.
The intenser her willingness to bear everything on her own was, the more upset Xavier felt.
At this moment, somebody knocked on the door. Daisy said, "Jacob is here."
Arya was about to go out, but Xavier held her hand, "You'd better have a rest. I'll deal with it."
He must come here for the business of the company.
She was pregnant now, and Xavier didn't want her to be too tired.
Seeing Arya hesitating, Xavier seemed to make a joke of himself, "I just have broken legs, not a broken
brain."
Arya frowned slightly, "Then I'll go to bed first."
He acted as if nothing had happened. Deep in his heart, he couldn't accept his current condition.
After Xavier went out, Arya took a shower and went to bed. she kept tossing and turning, unable to fall
asleep.
It was almost 12 o'clock when she heard the sound of the door. She quickly closed her eyes and
pretended to be asleep.
It sounded as if Xavier was going to take a shower. When Arya was about to get up, she thought of his
previous condition.
At this time, he was very sensitive. After all, it must be harsh for a person in such a high position to
accept the fact that he suddenly couldn't walk as usual.
Xavier failed to move his legs when taking a shower. He could only use his hands to press the
wheelchair to support his body. It was demanding for him to finish the shower.
Seeing that she was asleep, Xavier lightly rolled the wheelchair to the bedside and propped his hands
on the bed in order to move from the wheelchair to the bed.
Arya pretended to be awake just now and opened her eyes. She sat straight on the bed and looked at
him.
"Did I wake you up?" Xavier lay down and he tried his best to hide his distress, saving her trouble.
He stretched his arms and held Arya. Arya rested her head on his arms and said nothing, but she could
feel a flash of disappointment in him.
"What did Jacob say?" Arya deliberately talked to him to divert his thoughts. She knew that Xavier
wouldn't have gone back to the room like this if it was not related to the company.
He Xavier glanced at her and said, "Nothing. Let's sleep."
He didn't want Arya to manage the company anymore. She needed to nurse her body well because
she was pregnant and still so thin.
Xavier rubbed her hair and asked, "Do you believe me?"
"Of course."
Arya blurted it out.
She believed in Xavier in the subconscious.
Arya responded instantly without any hesitation, which made Xavier feel much better. "So, take it easy.
You can count on me, be it company business or family affairs."
Arya blinked and said, "Fine. You're the boss."
Arya pressed harder in his arms. "Hold me tight."
Xavier turned to one side and held her in his arms, stroking the hair on her ears and looking out of the
window...
