Chapter 179


    Mr. Jones wanted to meet his grandson as soon as possible. He was old, so he would definitely want to


    enjoy the happiness of family union when he retired.


    Daisy was not an unreasonable woman. There must be something wrong since her reaction was


    strange.


    "Bring them back first." He would decide what to do after the meeting.


    There was no solution to this dispute.


    Xavier sat still. "If you don''t agree, I won''t bring them back."


    Mr. Jones pointed at Xavier and said. "No wonder your mother is so angry, since you act like that,


    everyone would be mad."


    "That''s right, Xavier. How can you go against mom and dad for that woman? You haven''t married her


    yet. If you keep doing so, it would cause terrible consequences even if you marry her." Bridget echoed,


    "Am I right, dad?"


    Mr. Jones rolled his eyes. "You make me worried as well."


    Bridget''s face immediately changed. "Now you''re talking about Xavier. Don''t get me involved."


    She was going to be crazy. ''Why did he have to mention me on the issue?''


    Mr. Jones was tired since he had just got off the ne in the afternoon, so he got up and went upstairs.


    Before leaving, he said, "Bring them back tomorrow."


    Not to ask for advice but to order.


    Xavier picked up his coat and was about to leave when Bridget followed him. "Xavier."


    Xavier looked back at her.


    "Xavier, I know you want to protect the woman you love, but if she wants to marry into our Jones


    Family, she will have to face our parents. You can''t hide her forever. If you argue with our mom like this,


    the person who will be hurt in the end maybe is the woman you care about."


    Bridget could tell that Xavier had to give in. Otherwise, even if Xavier would have married that woman


    in such a tough way, Daisy would not like her anyway. It would only make Daisy hate her even more.


    "Think about it."


    Xavier totally understood what Bridget knew. He just didn''t want Arya to be hurt again when he thought


    about what she had suffered.


    However, he had to admit that Bridget was right.


    If Arya married him, she would have to spend a lot of time with Daisy. He couldn''t be by her side all the


    time...


    At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang, interrupting his train of thought.


    He took out his cell phone and picked it up when he saw that it was Arya.


    Arya''s voice came over as if she was still in fear and did not recover from what had just happened.


    "Xavier..."


    Xavier recognized that something was wrong with her from her voice. "What''s wrong? Where are you?"


    "I..." Arya had no idea where she was. It was so remote that there was not even any light.


    "I see. Stay where you are." Xavier hung up the phone and located her by GPS.


    Getting in the car, he drove in that direction as fast as possible.


    Xavier frowned as he drove away from the town.


    Why was she in such a ce for no reason?


    But at this time, he couldn''t think much, more worried.


    ***


    The headlights, which shone in the dense forest and the road. The lights threw a long shadow on the


    muddy road.


    In the end, Xavier saw a disheveled woman who was standing alone in the grass with her arms


    crossed. ''She must be Arya.''


    The dazzling lights made Arya narrow her eyes and she tried to discern the person in the car. Soon,


    Xavier changed the high beams to the low beams and the car stopped beside her.


    Seeing the familiar figure, Arya ran over and hugged him.


    When Jasper pressed on her uncontrobly, she was afraid that she would be raped.


    Ever since she knew her feelings for Xavier, she could no longer ept another man to touch her.


    She only wanted to belong to Xavier alone.


    She hugged his thin waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest.


    Xavier lifted her chin and looked at her face. "What''s going on? Why are you here?"


    "Jasper is back. He came to see me today and brought me here." After thinking, Arya decided to tell


    the truth. She didn''t want to hide anything from Xavier. She wanted to try to trust him.


    She felt that trust was very important in a rtionship.

    She hoped that in her rtionship with Xavier, she would be honest and sincere.


    Xavier''s face darkened, so she would be disheveled. ''Did Jasper do it?''


    ''What exactly did Jasper do to her?''


    Arya felt Xavier''s anger and shook her head at him. "He didn''t rape me. He stopped."


    Xavier''s tense nerves rxed. He took off his coat and put it on her. "Let''s go home."


    Arya sat in the passenger seat and Xavier started the car.


    The road here was uneven, but it wouldn''t be very bumpy. Arya turned her head and looked at Xavier.


    He pressed his lips together and looked tense. Arya knew Xavier very well. Even if Jasper didn''t really


    touch her, he would definitely make things difficult for Jasper.


    Arya reached out to hold Xavier''s hand. "Maybe he was impulsive today, but don''t hurt him, OK?"


    Xavier nced at her, whose deep dark eyes betrayed nothing, "Why? Do you still care about him even


    if he did this to you?"


    Xavier''s chest heaved rapidly, which showed that he was so impulsive at this moment.


    Looking at Arya''s messy clothes, Xavier hated Jasper so much that he wanted to kill him immediately.


    ''But why did she still plead for Jasper?''


    ''Did she piss me off on purpose?''


    Arya pursed her lips and looked out of the window. There seemed to be ayer of water in her eyes.


    "Richard had betrayed my mother and lied to her for nearly 20 years. When Este went to my house


    with Marshal and Harriet, my mother couldn''t bear it. She jumped down the stairs. I saw her smashed


    face with my own eyes...


    Later, they wanted to trade me to an old man for thepany, but by ident... they failed. I didn''t


    marry that old man as they expected. They used me to take the me for Marshal and sent me to


    prison.


    Este bribed the people inside and tried to kill me. They made things difficult for me every day. I was


    too weak... And wanted to give up my life.


    At that time, I knew I had Ryan. He was like a warm light in my dark life.


    I endured and became strong. I just wanted to give birth to him, but it did not make them stop... I


    thought Ryan was gone, and I was heartbroken with pain. That''s when Jasper showed up and took


    care of me all along. After I was out, he had always stood behind me, doing his best to support me and


    protect me... I once said I would marry him, but I broke my promise.


    I owe him, I owe him a debt of gratitude, I owe him so many years of protection and support... "


    Slowly, Arya turned and looked at Xavier. "I''ve witnessed my mother''s terrible marriage and her


    desperate look. I''ve been afraid of and rejected being in a rtionship, but I want to be honest with


    you. I don''t want to hide anything from you. I hope you can trust me."
