Chapter 16
Este quickly quieted down and stood up from the sofa, smiling, "Xavier."
Seeing the person in his arms, shepletely ignored the unhappiness. "She is so naughty. How can
she bother you to take care of her?"
Este was about to wake Harriet up but Xavier stopped her, "I''ll send her back to her room."
It wasn''t his first time toe here, and he knew where was Harriet''s room.
Xavier went upstairs. Este sat down on the sofa again and looked at Richard. "See? She''s your good
daughter. She''s so promising. If it weren''t for her, what would happen to yourpany? If it weren''t for
Harriet, it would have been closed long ago."
Richard paused because Este was actually telling the truth.
Thinking about that, he subconsciously looked upstairs.
Este took the initiative to sit next to Richard and massaged his shoulders. "You can''t talk about Arya
in front of Xavier. The Jones Family is so powerful. If they know Arya has been once in prison, it will
definitely affect Harriet''s marriage."
"But..."
"Even if you don''t say it, she''s still your daughter. Blood rtionships can''t change. It''s just that you

can''t mention her. You''re not a celebrity. Who knows you have another daughter?"
Este continued, "Do you want the Harrison Family to be destroyed by her? We''ve suffered a lot. Do
you want people to say that you have a daughter who has been imprisoned?"
Although Richard felt a little guilty about Arya, he loved Marshal and Harriet more, and he couldn''t let
go of what he had now.
Este was right. Even if Arya didn''t admit it, she was still his daughter, which couldn''t be changed.
There was no need to lose everything for his daughter who had no future.
He reached out and held Este''s hand. "You are right."
Upstairs, Xavier put Harriet down, but Harriet held his hand. "Don''t go. Stay with me."
Xavier flicked her forehead. "Have you been pretending to be asleep?"
"No, I''m really sleeping. I just don''t want you to go." Harriet sat up and rubbed her chest against Xavier,
holding his neck tightly.
Xavier looked down at her. He felt so calm that he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
''We had made love. But why couldn''t I have a desire when I see her like this?''
He took a gentle breath and patted her on the back. "It''s gettingte. Go to bed."
Harriet looked at Xavier aggrievedly. "Don''t you like me? You''re with me only because I gave you my
virginity and you should be responsible for me, right? If you don''t like me... I... I''ll let you go..."
"What are you thinking?"
Xavier interrupted her, "Go to sleep."
Xavier was a little impatient andmanding her.
Harriet did not dare to continue, so she could only lie down obediently.
Xavier tugged at his cor impatiently. "I''ll ask my family to pick a date and get the wedding done."
Harriet opened her eyes in disbelief, "Really?"
"Yes."
Xavier''s affirmative answer made Harriet ecstatic.
She didn''t expect good things toe so soon.
"Xavier, I love you!" Harriet kissed him.
He pushed Harriet away. "It''ste today. I''ll go back first. Call me if you need anything."
Without hearing Harriet''s response, Xavier went out.
Downstairs, Este saw Xaviering down and immediately walked to him. "It''s sote. Why don''t
you stay for the night? I''ll prepare a room for you."
"No, I have something else to do."
Xavier''s tone was cold.
"Okay." Este went to open the door.
But Richard stopped Xavier. He said bluntly, "Xavier, you and Harriet have been engaged for almost
three years. When are you going to get married?"
He sat on the sofa and did not move. No matter how capable Xavier was, he was still a junior in front of
him.
"What are you doing? Nowadays, young people enjoy their lives. Marriage is not urgent." But in fact,
Este also wanted them to get married quickly.
It was only then that the matter was settled. If her daughter didn''t get married, she would be always
anxious.
But she didn''t dare to force Xavier. It should be him to bring it up first.
If they brought it up first, they would seem to be in a hurry.
"Xavier, don''t listen to him. He is old. He thinks too much..."
"As for the marriage, I have already nned to ask my family to set a date. I can''t tell you the exact
date yet."
