Chapter 169


    Arya was not allowed to get out, so she could only stay in the vi. Xavier and Ryan didn''te back


    at noon. Nanny Joy was making lunch.


    Arya had nothing to do, so she helped Nanny Joy. When she saw the dregs of herbs in the trash can,


    she asked, "Are you ill?"


    Nanny Joy nced at the trash can, shook her head, "Young Master has been suffering a headache for


    nearly two months after you left, but he refused to treat it. Collins prescribed Mr. Jones this Chinese


    medicine and asked me to put it in the soup."


    This recipe was specially made by Edward. The taste was so nd that Xavier could hardly notice the


    herbs at all.


    Nanny Joy sighed. "No matter what happened between you and sir, for Ryan''s sake, you should give


    him a family. You know the importance of it for a child, right?"


    Arya pursed her lips tightly. She knew how much Ryan wanted a family.


    But she didn''t know what to do.


    Nanny Joy sighed slightly. Arya had to think about it herself, No one could make any decisions for her.


    During lunch, Arya was not hungry. After a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.


    "You should eat more."


    Nanny Joy couldn''t help saying. "You''re so thin."


    Nanny Joy put the chopsticks back into Arya''s hand. "Eat more. Being healthy is important."


    Arya could not refuse Nanny Joy''s kindness and finished the meal though she was not in the mood the


    enjoy the food.


    It was dark but Xavier still didn''t bring Ryan back. Arya became flustered.


    She heard that Xavier would take Ryan for a checkup. but she was very worried because they still


    didn''te back and afraid that Ryan''s condition worsened.


    Seeing Arya''s worried expression, Nanny Joyforted her, "They alwayse backte when they


    go to Collins''s ce. Don''t worry."


    "Is that so?" Arya asked uncertainly.


    Nanny Joy nodded affirmatively. "Yes, don''t worry."


    Arya didn''t have dinner. Thinking that Nanny Joy would persuade her to eat something, she said she


    was sleepy and stayed in the room, looking outside the window and waiting for Xavier to bring Ryan


    back.


    The car finally went back untilte in the night. Arya stared at them until she saw Ryan getting out of


    the car.


    In order not to be noticed by Xavier, she went back to bed and pretended to be asleep.


    After about half an hour, she heard footsteps, which made her heart beat faster and faster.


    She was somehow flustered.


    Because she was afraid that he would find out about her pretending to be asleep, or because she didn''t


    dare to face her vague feelings.


    The door was pushed open, but the man didn''t turn on the lights. There was only a ray of moonlight in


    the room.


    The sound of footsteps went away by the bed, and Arya grabbed the quilt tightly.


    The other side of the bed sank, which made Arya even forget to breathe.


    A broad palm grabbed her waist and turned her over.


    Arya suppressed the emotions and pretended to be woken up by him. "What are you doing... Hmm..."


    Before Arya could finish her sentence, Xavier blocked her lips and pressed her down so that she could


    not move.


    His kiss was domineering but gentle and affectionate.


    Arya did not resist. She knew Xavier well. Even if she resisted, he would not stop. She didn''t move,


    looking indifferent.


    Xavier stroked her cheek. "You want to leave me behind?"


    Arya''s heart sank but she pretended to be calm. "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    Xavier didn''t bring her trick to light.


    "We have a son. We''ve done everything that a husband and wife will do. Do you still think we''re


    strangers?"


    In the moonlight, Xavier tried to see through her expression and her heart.


    "What are you afraid of?"


    Even in the dim light, Arya could not bear the gaze of Xavier.


    She tilted her head, but Xavier did not let her do so. He held her face in both hands and looked straight


    into his eyes. "Our son is sick, but my blood type doesn''t match his..."


    "Then what should we do?" Arya knew that she was impulsive to saying the words.


    "We are here with him."


    Then Xavier kissed her again.


    The sudden kiss was like a storm that caught her off guard. She could only feel the fragrance from his


    mouth. Her mind was nk, but she closed her eyes obediently and was enjoying the kiss.


    She forgot to think and didn''t want to think. She just instinctively held him tighter, tighter...


    When Arya woke up, Xavier was no longer there. She threw back the quilt and got out of bed. When


    she was about to go downstairs, she heardughter.


    She lifted the curtain and looked down from the window. She saw Xavier and Ryan were running in the


    same sportswear. What a beautiful scene.


    She couldn''t hear what Xavier told Ryan, but she heard Ryan smiling very happily.


    "Dad?" Ryan ran faster towards Xavier. "We''ll live together in the future, won''t we?"


    "Yes." Xavier ran away after saying that.


    "Dad."


    Ryan stomped in anger.


    Xavier didn''t wait for him. He went back to the vi first. The route where they ran was built around the


    vi, so he was not afraid that Ryan could find the way home.


    Xavier went up to the second floor.


    Arya had just put on her clothes when Xaviere in. She looked behind him. "Where''s Ryan?"


    Xavier hugged her andined, "You only care about your son?"


    Arya pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Xavier."


    "Yes."


    She really wanted to know what Xavier was thinking about. She wanted to know her ce in his mind,


    so she asked, "You be my husband because of Ryan..."


    "Woo... Mommy!"


    Ryan ran inside and grumbled. "Dad bullied me."


    Seeing Ryan''s aggrieved look, Arya pushed Xavier away, held Ryan in her arms and wiped his tears.


    She kissed him on the cheek. "What''s up?"

    Ryan held Arya''s neck tightly. "Mommy, do you love me or daddy?"


    Arya immediately answered him, "Of course I love you. You''re mine. No one can rece you in my


    mind."


    Ryan was not only her child but also the most important existence in her life.


    She would never forget the feeling when she found him.


    Ryan sniffed. "Mommy, I''m hungry."


    Arya carried him downstairs and left Xavier behind.


    Ryan''s chin rested on Arya''s shoulder and he was making a face at Xavier.


    He seemed to be saying that since Xavier bullied him, he would take Arya away.


    Xavier frowned. The kid stole Arya from him.


    Xavier really wanted to take Ryan out of Arya''s arms, but he knew that Arya would definitely be


    unhappy.


    So he went downstairs as if nothing had happened.


    During the meal, Xavier showed concern for Ryan. He put the poached eggs on Ryan''s te, "Eat


    more so you can run with us tomorrow. Edward has said that you have to run threeps tomorrow."


    "But I remember I am supposed to run onep?" Ryan was shocked.


    "Didn''t Edward say that you''re not in good health and need to exercise more?"


    Indeed. Ryan had been running every day for the past month. Edward said that he was not strong


    enough and he had to exercise more, which would be good for his surgery next time.


    Ryan slid down from the chair with a sad face and hugged Arya''s arm. "Mommy, I don''t want to run..."


    Arya heard Edward''s name and knew it must be good for Ryan''s health because he was the doctor.


    So she shook her head at Ryan. "No."


    Then Ryan ran to Nanny Joy for help.


    Arya looked at Xavier. "I want to go outter."


    After a moment of silence, Xavier nodded and added, "Only for a little while."


    Arya agreed.


    After the meal, Xavier went to thepany and Ryan was taken care of by Nanny Joy. When Arya was


    about to go to the hospital, she bumped into Daisy who came in...
