Chapter 195


    Arya nodded. After Xavier left, Arya walked to the window and looked down at W City.


    The ce was in the center of the city. It was the most prosperous area, surrounded by tall buildings.


    During the day, she looked down and would saw a fast-paced city in which all staff was walking through


    the office buildings and along the roads.


    At this moment, the secretary came in and asked her what she wanted to drink.


    "No, thank you. I''m not thirsty," Arya said calmly.


    The secretary smiled and left the office.


    Ryan blinked. "Mommy, aren''t we going yet?"


    He thought for a moment. "Let''s go quickly."


    Arya nced at Ryan. The look of anticipation on his face made Arya unable to say no.


    She put down Ryan, walked to the desk, wrote a note, and took Ryan away.


    Seeing that Arya was leaving so soon, the secretary asked, "Shall I tell Mr. Jones?"


    "I left him a message." After that, Arya hugged Ryan and went down.


    The secretary stared at Arya''s back for a few seconds.


    She thought in her heart that the woman was indeed the boss''s wife.


    The secretary sighed. ''Why is her life so good? She has married such a good man and had such a


    lovely son.''


    As the car drove further away from the bustling and fast-paced city life, Ryan looked out the window at


    the fast-moving scenery and was excited.


    When he saw the sea, he was surprised. "Mommy, look. It''s the sea."


    Arya touched his head. "Yeah."


    When they arrived, Arya took Ryan into the courtyard where she had lived for two months. The boat


    was still parked on the shoal. It seemed that it had never been out of the sea.


    "Arya?" Joshua came out of the room. After seeing Arya in surprise, he ran over quickly. "Are you here


    to see grandma and me?"


    Arya smiled. "Yes, is grandpa feeling better?"


    Joshua''s face immediately darkened, and his eyes reddened. "Grandpa is not here anymore."


    Arya''s breathing stopped. ''What did he mean by he was not here?''


    "After grandpa came back from the hospital, it wasn''t long before..."


    Joshua cried as he spoke. Arya hugged him and patted him on the back tofort him.


    "Mommy." Ryan tugged at Arya''s hem.


    Joshua only saw Arya just now. Only then did he realize that there was a little child.

    "Ryan..."


    Just as Arya was about to introduce Joshua to Ryan, Ryan started calling Joshua big brother.


    Although Joshua was an adult, there was a kid in his body. Perhaps because of this, Ryan called him


    big brother.


    Arya didn''t correct it. Just let him call like this if he wanted to.


    Although it sounded weird that Joshua called her Arya and Ryan called Joshua brother, it was okay as


    long as they were happy.


    Joshua seemed to like this address, so he got along with Ryan soon.


    "Joshua, you y with Ryan in the yard. I''ll go in and see grandma."


    Joshua nodded.


    Arya walked into the house. Madam Swift and Mr. Swift were on good terms. She must be very sad that


    Mr. Swift passed away.


    When she walked in, she saw Madam Swift sitting in a chair in front of the window and looking at the


    sea.


    Arya called out to her.


    If she knew it, she would definitelye at that time. She walked over and held Madam Swift''s hand.


    "I''mte."


    Madam Swift lowered her eyelids and looked at Arya. After a while, she said, "Thank you for redeeming


    the boat, so that I can still have mental support."


    "Who is that child?" As soon as they came in, Madam Swift saw Ryan.


    "My child," Arya replied.


    "He looks so beautiful." Madam Swift stared out of the window at Ryan, who was ying with Joshua in


    the yard. There was a glimmer of light in her cloudy eyes.


    Ever since Mr. Swift passed away, the house had been quiet. Madam Swift often sat in front of the


    window and stared at the sea in a daze.


    Today, they suddenly came. Madam Swift was much better. Ryan wasn''t shy with strangers and was


    cute. When Arya was cooking, he pestered Madam Swift to tell him about those strange fish.


    Madam Swift sat in the yard, hugging Ryan and making Ryan sit on herp. She looked at the sea in


    the distance and told him about the interesting stories that happened when she went to the sea. She


    also told him that she had caught the fish that could shine.


    Ryan listened with relish. He had never heard of such a strange thing before.


    He refused to eat and pestered Madam Swift.


    "Eat now." Arya fed him.


    Ryan pulled Arya excitedly and told her that Madam Swift had seen a lot of fish in the underwater world


    and envied Madam Swift for seeing so many real sea fish that he had never seen them before.


    "I''ll take you to watch themter." Joshuaforted Ryan. "There is a lot at the seafood market."


    Although there were no very rare fish, there was a lot of fish that was barely seen in daily life. There


    were some jellyfish that were caught by the fishermen.


    Ryan was delighted to hear that.


    When it came to the seafood market, Arya asked Madam Swift how it was now.


    Speaking of this, Madam Swift''s eyes sparkled. "A while ago, the news was spread quickly. The


    seafood that came out of the market had some kind of preservative and someone was poisoned. I


    heard it was quite serious. The market regtor came here to investigate and the Anderson Family


    were arrested."


    Thinking about it, Madam Swift felt very happy.


    Finally, the wicked were punished.


    "Now no one is bullying us fishermen who live by fishing, but your grandpa is gone."


    Madam Swift was depressed again.


    Arya held her hands. "Shall I take you to the city?"


    She wanted Madam Swift to live in a different environment. Madam Swift would recall old memories at


    familiar sights if she lived here.


    Arya''s house happened to be empty, so Madam Swift could live with Joshua there.


    Madam Swift shook her head. "I''ve lived here my whole life. This is my root."


    This was the ce where Mr. Swift and she lived their whole lives. She couldn''t leave. She had to stay.


    They spent the day here. It was getting dark, and Arya was going to take Ryan back. Madam Swift was


    very reluctant to let them go.


    "Ryan is not in good health. When he gets better, I''ll bring him to stay for a while."


    Arya also wanted to stay with Madam Swift.


    Madam Swift nodded. "It''s important to treat an illness. Come back when you''re free."


    As she spoke, Madam Swift handed the packed mullet to Arya. "Making a soup with it will do good to


    your health."


    At dinner, Arya said something about Ryan. Madam Swift kept that in mind and especially went to the


    market to buy it.


    This kind of fish was rare and asionally caught.


    Arya took it which warmed the cockles of her heart. She just said it casually, and Madam Swift was so


    concerned. Although it was just two fish, her kindly feelings were precious.


    "Well, it''s getting dark. Hurry back." Madam Swift waved at her and urged, "It''s hard to drive in the


    dark."


    "Okay, I have to leave now." Arya waved at Madam Swift.


    "Mommy, can wee backter? I saw a lot of beautiful shells today."


    Ryan was still immersed in what he saw and heard today.


    Arya agreed to bring him over sometime.


    It was already dark when they got back to the vi. When she entered, Arya handed the fish to Nanny


    Joy. "Making soup."


    Nanny Joy took it and whispered, "Daisy is here today."


    Arya looked up at Nanny Joy. "When?"


    "In the afternoon. She came to ask Xavier and you to go back."


    "Did she say what''s going on?" Arya asked.


    "It seems to be someone''s marriage. When Xavier came back, they went to the study."


    Arya asked Ryan to stay with Nanny Joy. "Is he upstairs?"


    "No, he didn''te out of the study."


    Arya changed into her slippers and walked towards the study.


    Ryan pulled Nanny Joy and told her that he had seen a lot of strange things today.


    The light in the study was on. Arya pushed open the door of the study and saw Xavier sitting at the


    desk, leaning back in the chair with a cigarette in his mouth.


    Arya walked towards him. When Xavier saw here in, he grounded the half-smoked cigarette into


    the ashtray and reached out to hug Arya.


    Arya put her hand in his palm and sat on his thighs.


    Xavier rubbed her hands and said nothing.


    Arya didn''t ask.


    A long timeter, Xavier said slowly, "Let''s go back to the house of the Jones Family tomorrow."


    "Okay," said Arya.


    Xavier looked up at her. "You didn''t even ask me what we''re going back for?"
