Chapter 247
Arya pushed Xavier. Xavier didn't let her go forward. She didn't know what he was thinking, so she
didn't move.
Jacob and Daisy walked to the exit to greet them. Jacob took their luggage and put it in the car first.
When Daisy, who had been in a good mood, saw Harriet, her face darkened slightly. "Why did she
come back with you?"
Henry looked gloomy. From afar, he saw Xavier in a wheelchair.
Although Xavier didn't join the army as he had told, he still recognized that Xavier was capable.
Now seeing him in a wheelchair was even more upsetting than sitting in a wheelchair himself.
Henry had not expected Harriet to be Cullen's granddaughter, either.
Cullen had only one son, and his son died on a mission.
He was not married when he died. Henry only heard that he had a girlfriend.
And Harriet was that woman's child.
Henry didn't go into detail about this. He just said that Harriet was Cullen's granddaughter.
Cullen really has been an incredible mentor to him, and he couldn't have achieved so much without the
help of Cullen.
Daisy glanced at Harriet and then put her arm around Henry.
"Let's go home." Daisy said with a smile.
Henry bowed his head slightly and did not get angry in public.
Because of Xavier's legs, he didn't sit in the same car with them. Arya had been restless. She couldn't
figure out why Harriet came back with Henry.
Xavier could not explain this to her, because he did not know the reason.
Xavier held her hand tightly and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
It didn't take long for the car to stop at the old house. Henry and the others got out of the car and
entered the house first, and then Arya wheeled Xavier in.
Henry sat on the sofa in the living room. When he saw Xavier and Arya come in, he said, "Harriet will
live at home in the future and she will be one of our family members."
Arya stood behind Xavier and did not say anything. She just listened quietly.
Xavier also said nothing.
Daisy couldn't figure it out. 'She has her own family. Why is she living here?' This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Besides, she was Xavier's ex-girlfriend, and now she was single, which made the situation awkward.
Harriet seemed to know Daisy's thoughts and explained, "Daisy, isn't it inappropriate for me to stay at
your home?"
Before Daisy could say anything, Henry said, "No. You should feel at home here."
Harriet smiled, "Thank you."
Daisy was unhappy, but she didn't show it. "I'll ask Nanny May to clean up the guest room downstairs."
"Thank you, Daisy." Harriet smiled. She knew that Daisy was unhappy, but she didn't care.
It was fine as long as Henry was nice to her.
The years when she and Xavier were together, she knew a little about Henry.
He treasured the relationship. The Porter Family had promoted him. Now that she was the only
granddaughter of the Porter Family, he would definitely treat her well.
So when she asked to live here, he agreed without hesitation.
Thinking that she could have the identity today, she couldn't help but look at Arya. "Long time no see,
sister."
Arya compressed her lips and did not respond.
Henry glanced at her and stood up, "Xavier, follow me to the study."
Xavier gestured Arya to let him go and he went in by himself. Arya didn't know what Henry was going
to say to Xavier, which made her a little nervous.
Xavier looked back at her and gave her a reassuring look. Arya nodded slightly.
After Xavier went to the study, Daisy asked Arya to sit down.
In the study, as soon as he entered, Henry asked, "What happened to your legs?"
Xavier didn't want to say much about it, "Because of something in the company."
"What did the doctor say?" Xavier was his son. Seeing him in a wheelchair, he felt very sad.
"Not much hope." It was hard for him to accept what the doctor said. He still felt bad about it, but he
thought he was lucky enough to wake up.
Henry snorted and looked at him. "That woman doesn't belong to our Jones Family. She's just been
married to you for some days, but you've become like this, and Bridget was sent abroad by you. I think
she's not the right one for our Jones Family."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Xavier looked at him coldly, knowing that he was unhappy, but he couldn't
accept his comments on Arya."
"Get a divorce." He didn't like Arya at all. Now that Bridget and Xavier were involved, he couldn't accept
Arya as his daughter-in-law.
Xavier did not reply immediately and looked at him for a few seconds. If the person in front of him was
not his father, he would never tolerate it.
Turning the wheelchair, he just left out of the study.
"Do you hear me?" Henry was enraged by Xavier's attitude, and his voice became much louder.
Because the door of the study was open, and the people in the living room heard it, they couldn't help
but look towards the study.
Only Arya sat quietly with no expression on her face and lowered her eyes. In fact, she felt sad, but she
could not do anything now.
Xavier stopped and did not look back. He said faintly, "If I can't even protect my wife and child, am I still
qualified to be your son?"
After Xavier finished speaking, he rolled his wheelchair away.
In the living room, he didn't look at anyone but said to Arya, "Let's go."
Arya stood up from the sofa and said to Daisy, "Mom, we may leave now.''
"Well, OK." Daisy didn't want them to stay here either. Now that Henry was angry, and if they stayed
here, it would only make things worse.
Arya wheeled Xavier out of the old house. Xavier didn't say anything and Arya didn't ask him along the
way.
On the way, Jacob reported about Terrence and needed Xavier to deal with it. "I'll send you back and
then I'll go to the company."
"OK." Arya replied coldly.
He sent Arya back to the villa and he went to the company.
Arya walked into the villa, which was very quiet. Madam Swift and Joshua went back to Aqua Village,
Daisy went back to the Old Residence, and Nanny Joy took Ryan outside.
She didn't do anything, but she felt very tired and went into the room to rest.
Because she was pregnant that she fell asleep unconsciously on the bed.
When Xavier came back in the evening, she was still sleeping soundly. He did not wake her up when it
was time for dinner.
After dinner, he asked someone to prepare the food for her, and she could eat it when she woke up.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Arya woke up. It was dark in the room. The lights in the
room were turned on before she could reach them.
"Are you awake?" Xavier had been in the room, afraid that she wouldn't sleep well, so he didn't turn on
the lights. He just heard something, so he turned on the bedside light.
"Well, it's late." Arya lifted the quilt to get out of bed. Xavier stopped her. Arya looked at him in
confusion. "I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry."
Perhaps because she was pregnant, she easily became hungry and ate more.
"I'll let Nanny Joy bring it in." Xavier said dotingly as he reached out to stroke her messy hair.
Arya smiled and did not say a word, enjoying Xavier's kindness to her. Nanny Joy brought the food in
and Xavier asked her to put it on the bedside table.
Nanny Joy clearly knew what was going on and left the room.
Xavier picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it on his lips, and felt that it was not
hot, then he handed it to Arya's mouth. Because he was very tall, sitting in a wheelchair, feeding Arya,
who was sitting on the bed, was not difficult at all.
Arya did not open her mouth immediately, but looked at him, unable to express any feelings in her
heart. Although they were together and there was a lot of distance between them, at this moment, she
did not want to think about anything, so she quietly enjoyed the warmth he gave her.
She opened her mouth and ate the soup that Xavier had fed her.
One bite after another...
Arya ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. She ate all the food that Nanny Joy brought in.
Xavier put down the empty bowl and looked up at her. "Are you full? If not, I'll let her make some other
dishes for you."
Arya pulled her lips. "You really want to raise me like a pig."
"I would like to." Xavier's eyes swept around her. She was too thin, and she was so thin that he really
wanted to fatten her up.
"Xavier?" Arya called him directly.
"Yes..."
As soon as Xavier looked up, he was grabbed by Arya and kissed. She didn't wipe her mouth after
dinner, and her mouth was greasy, which rubbed against Xavier's lips.
Seeing that Xavier was embarrassed because of her, Arya covered her mouth with her hands and
chuckled.
Xavier took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her lips. Arya didn't move and let him do this. Xavier
didn't change the tissue and wiped it for himself. Seeing this, she smiled even more brightly.
Xavier threw it away. He looked up at Arya and said, "Is it so funny?"
