Chapter 79


    Xavier was stunned. It took him a long time toe back to his senses.


    ''She says that she loves me?''


    ''Wait! I don''t need her love.''


    Xavier snorted but he was happy to hear what she said.


    But he still pretended to say coldly, "Come in."


    Arya wanted to grab his hand. Xavier dodged away. "Don''t do this."


    Nanny Joy heard the noise and came out with her overcoat on. Seeing that Xavier had already let Arya


    in, she said, "Sit on the sofa for a while. I''ll make you a bowl of ginger soup."


    Arya''s body indeed was freezing. She was stiff all over her body.


    Xavier nced at her sideways. He still held her in his arms and warm her up with his body.


    Her face and her hands were cold.


    Xavier held her cold face with his hands. "Did you do it on purpose?"


    She deliberately made herself so miserable to soften his heart.


    Xavier felt that he gradually turned into a man without principles. He even lost his bottom line in the


    face of her.


    Arya did not deny that she did it on purpose. She could not let go of Xavier and had to hold on to him


    tightly.


    Because she needed him.


    At this time, Nanny Joy finished making the ginger soup, brought it in, and handed it to Arya. "Drink it. It


    will do you good."


    Arya took it. "Thank you, Nanny Joy."


    Nanny Joy sighed. "And go to bed early."


    After that, she went into her room, letting the two talk.


    Arya held the bowl with both hands. The warmthing from the bowl in her palm warmed her body.


    Even her heart, which had been cold for a long time, felt warm.


    "What are you thinking? You''re so absorbed?" Xavier smoothed her messy hair back behind her ears.


    The wound on her cheek had scabbed. Still, every time Xavier saw it, he still felt very ufortable.


    He looked away, unwilling to see the wound.


    "Nothing." She calmed down and drank up the ginger soup.


    Xavier put a cigarette in his mouth and remained silent for a long time. He asked, "Did you really think it


    through? Do you want to be with me?"


    Arya looked down. From the moment she came, she had thought it through.


    No matter how Xavier treated or viewed her, she would not care.


    She just wanted to protect the people around her.


    Her ability was limited and she had no choice but to rely on Xavier.


    She put down the bowl and leaned against Xavier''s shoulder without speaking, but such an action was


    already the answer.


    Xavier looked down at her, smoked hard, put the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray, and held her


    up by the waist.


    Arya wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest. She smelled the faint scent of


    tobo and felt his sharp breath. She actually found it somewhat familiar.


    She had never felt him so calmly before. Although she was still afraid, she did not flinch.


    Pushing open the bedroom door, Xavier put Arya on the bed and then undressed her.


    Arya thought that he wanted to sleep with her. Although she was ready for it when she came, she was


    nervous and scared when it was about to happen.


    She turned her head away to avoid looking at Xavier''s face.


    Xavier''s hands which were unbuttoning Arya''s clothes paused as Arya''s action made him angry.


    ''What kind of person does she think I am? Am I so shameless?''


    He admitted that he couldn''t resist her charm.


    However, at this moment, he really didn''t want to do that. He just wanted to help her take off her coat


    and get into bed to warm herself up.


    Xavier pinched her nose and teased her on purpose. "You came to me on your own. I want you to take


    the initiative tonight..."


    His index finger gently rubbed her pink lips. Arya suppressed all her fear and bitterness. She smiled


    and wrapped her arms around Xavier''s neck. Deep in her heart, Arya disliked having this kind of


    intimacy that she couldn''t control. But she still forced herself to conquered fear and take the initiative to


    kiss Xavier.


    Xavier''s heart skipped a beat and he pushed her aside. "I want you to be my woman willingly, not


    perfunctorily."


    Arya was slightly stunned.


    Xavier flicked her forehead mischievously. "Silly, go to bed."


    Xavier had just covered Arya with the quilt, but Arya''s phone rang.


    Xavier frowned. ''Is she so busy?''


    Someone else called her in the middle of the night.


    Although Arya saw that Xavier was a little unhappy, she still got up to look for her phone. It was the call


    from Ondo.


    Sunny woke up, crying and making a scene. Even when he just answered the phone to deal with things


    in thepany, Sunny would run to the balcony to jump off the building.


    Ondo couldn''t persuade her, so he had to call Arya.


    "I know. I''ll be right back."


    Hanging up the phone, Arya looked at Xavier and said cautiously, "I really have something to do."


    Seeing that she looked anxious, Xavier didn''t make things difficult for her.


    Arya''s clothes were a little thin. Xavier found his down jacket and gave it to Arya. Although his down


    jacket was somewhat bigger, it was very warm for her.


    "It''s sote. I''ll send you there."


    Arya pursed her lips tightly and nodded hard.


    It was still snowing outside, but Arya didn''t feel cold as she was sitting in the car.


    The road was exceptionally quiet in the middle of the night. There were hardly any cars on the road,


    and even the sound of tires cracking on the snow could be heard clearly.


    Neither of them spoke along the way.


    They all had their own thoughts.


    On snowy days, the road was slippery. It took about an hour to get to the block where Ondo lived.


    Xavier raised his eyebrows. "You have moved again?"


    "My previousndlord didn''t rent his house anymore. I''m looking for a new house and I''ll move out


    soon." She didn''t say why she was kicked out by thendlord.


    She didn''t want anyone to gossip about Sunny and look down on her.


    Because everything Sunny had suffered nowadays was caused by her.


    If it weren''t for Sunny back then, she might be the one who wanted tomit suicide today.


    "Let me die!" Sunny''s mind was filled with images of people pointing their fingers at her and those


    curses intolerable to the ear.


    "I''ll go first." Before Xavier could answer, Arya got out of the car quickly.


    It was because she had already seen Sunny crying and screaming on the balcony.


    Xavier saw that Arya left so hurriedly and then he looked at the crying woman on the balcony. He


    narrowed his eyes.


    He was not interested in those people for he just wanted to keep an eye on Arya.


    Arya went upstairs and went straight to the balcony to help Ondo stop Sunny. "Sunny, calm down.


    Committing suicide can''t solve any problems. Believe me, I will definitely punish those who persecute


    you."


    " It''s useless!" In the eyes of others, Sunny was a shameless prostitute. Maybe they thought that Sunny


    was even more shameless than a prostitute.


    Videos of her having sex with other men were watched with disdain by tens of millions of people.


    It gave her a heavy blow.


    "I dare not close my eyes. My mind is full of those mocking and disdainful lines of sight. I feel so


    painful. Death is the best relief!"


    Arya pped Sunny hard as Sunny struggled to jump off the building.


    Arya wanted to wake her up.


    "It''s easy to die, but if you do it, you will not be able to achieve anything. There''s nothing left. It will only


    make the people who love you hurt and your enemies happy!"


    Sunny was stunned for a few seconds, then she yelled at Arya. "It didn''t happen to you. Of course, you


    can say it easily. Try being scolded in front of others and then tell me how do you feel!"


    "How do you know that I haven''t experienced these!" Arya yelled. She pressed her hands against her


    chest. "Have you ever experienced the feeling of being stripped naked and being mocked by others at


    your body? Have you ever experienced the heartbreaking feeling of your own child dying in front of


    you? Do you know how painful it is to witness your mother being forced to jump off a building? I''ve


    experienced it myself, but I''m still alive. It is because I know that only by staying alive can I make those


    people who hurt me pay the heavy price!"


    Sunny was stunned. She knew something about Arya, but she didn''t know that Arya had been


    humiliated by others like this before.


    Slowly, Sunny squatted down and shivered with her arms around her legs.


    "I know that too. I''m useless. I''m really scared."


    Arya half-knelt on the ground and held Sunny''s trembling body tightly in her arms. "I know. I know.


    Things will pass."


    Arya stroked Sunny''s back. "I''ve also been drugged by others and lost my virginity. Look at me. I''m still


    alive and well. Others want me to die, but I live a decent life!"


    Sunny buried her head in Arya''s arms. "Can I deal with it?"


    She was not confident. She didn''t know if she could go through these hardships.


    "Yes. You can. Trust me!" Arya answered affirmatively, trying to help Sunny to muster up some


    courage.


    Ondo had been standing by and watching the two women on the ground, his eyes slowly rested on


    Arya''s face.


    He knew that Arya must have experienced a lot, but he didn''t know that things she experienced were


    not beautiful, but sad and tragic.


    He silently turned around and went into the house. He took out a ss of water and handed it to


    Sunny. "Don''t be afraid. You have us by your side. We''ll protect you. Drink some water to calm you


    down. Have a good sleep and everything will be over."


    Sunny refused to take the ss of water from Ondo. Arya looked up at Ondo. Ondo looked at


    her. Arya understood his meaning. She took the water and coaxed Sunny to drink. "I''ll be with you all


    the time. Drink some water. I''ll go to bed with you."


    Sunny''s eyes were red. Because she cried too much, her voice was hoarse.


    Arya put the water to her lips. "Be good."


    Sunny opened her mouth awkwardly. Arya gave her the water and she drank. After a while, Sunny


    slowly fell asleep.


    "I added some sleeping pills to the water. We shall not let her be like this." Ondo picked up Sunny


    who had fallen asleep.


    Arya nodded. This was good. Sunny needed to catch up on sleep. One would be more likely to get


    nervous when he didn''t get enough sleep, after all.


    To hold Sunny tighter, Arya had been kneeling on one leg. At this time, her legs were numb.


    After a while, she stood up and went into the room.


    Sunny was put into the bedroom. Arya was relieved to see that Sunny had no sign of waking up.


    "I''ll deal with things in thepany during this period. You don''t have to worry." Ondo said to Arya.


    "Thank you," Arya said sincerely.


    "No need. It''s mutually beneficial, isn''t it? It''s not good for me if thepany goes bankrupt." Ondo


    said in a business-like way. But what he said was true.


    It was indeed not good for him if thepany went bankrupt. Ondo walked to the balcony and


    closed the door which let the cold wind blow in. Seeing that the car Arya took toe here was still


    there, he smiled. "Who sent you back?"


    Ondo changed the topic so fast that Arya couldn''t react. Then Ondo spoke again. "The car is still


    downstairs. It looks like the driver is waiting for you."N?velDrama.Org owns this.
