Chapter 196


    Arya leanedzily against him and seemed to have guessed something, It must be someone who


    would have a marriage with an unknown one.


    It must be Bridget.


    Arya was not sure of who she was married with.


    Xavier lowered his head and held Arya''s chin to let her look at him. "Jasper and Bridget are getting


    married."


    Arya''s body froze for two seconds. ''Is it Jasper?''

    Even though her mood swings were brief, Xavier still noticed it.


    ''What was she thinking? Was she happy, sad, or something else...''


    It wasn''t that Xavier didn''t trust her, but he had witnessed the love between her and Jasper before.


    Xavier had never been afraid of doing anything, but now he was afraid that he didn''t know how to deal


    with the affair of Arya and Jasper.


    Arya took off his hand and said frankly, "No matter when Jasper has a ce in my heart. It''s not


    because I love him, but because of hispany and care. I''m human, and I have thoughts and


    feelings. This''s the truth. If you can''t ept it, I can''t help it."


    Xavier''s expression changed quickly. "Can''t you be frank?"


    Even if he minded it, Arya was so frank that he couldn''t do anything about it.


    If he bothered about it further, he would seem petty.


    But he didn''t like her to have another man in her heart, even if it had nothing to do with love.


    He held Arya harder and put his hand on her heart. "Sooner orter, I''ll be the only one here!"


    Arya smiled. "Well, try harder to make me fall in love with you. Let me love you so much that no one


    else can be in my heart."


    The next day, when he went to the house of the Jones Family, Xavier didn''t bring Ryan with him. He


    only went with Arya.


    The car was parked at the entrance of the house, and there was already a car that did not often appear


    here. Arya recognized it, and Xavier could guess whose car it was. The two of them got out of the car,


    and Xavier held Arya''s hand and walked in.


    Mr. Jones came back and sat on the sofa in the living room. Daisy sat next to him and Jasper was


    opposite her.


    When Jasper saw the scene of theming in hand in hand, he looked away and felt that it was too


    dazzling, leaving his heart aching.


    "Sit down." Mr. Jones waved his hand.


    When Bridget heard the noise, she was still wearing an apron. She poked her head out of the kitchen


    and looked at Arya. "Arya, really d you''re here. I''m busy in the kitchen. You can''t stay out of it."


    When she called Arya, she deliberately raised her voice and nced at Jasper. Jasper lowered his


    head so that she could not see his expression at the moment.


    Arya smiled. "Okay, I''ll help."


    In the living room, Mr. Jones was talking to Jasper about the marriage of Jasper and Bridget.


    Xavier lit a cigarette and leaned casually on the sofa without making anyments. He didn''t like the


    marriage which Bridget scheduled on a whim. He believed they would not live a happy life like a normal


    couple.


    In the kitchen. Arya was not very good at cooking. She was just helping to wash and cut food.


    Bridget deliberately pulled Arya in, just because she didn''t want to see her with Jasper in the same


    room.


    When the food was ready, Arya was in charge of serving, and soon the table was filled with various


    delicacies.


    The people in the living room went to the dining room. Xavier held Arya''s hand and let her sit beside


    him.


    Bridget sat next to Jasper and looked at Arya unintentionally.


    Arya didn''t look at them. The Jones Family knew that her previous rtionship with Jasper. It would be


    bad for anyone if she got closer to Jasper for she was the wife of Xavier.


    Mr. Jones sat in the master seat, and Daisy sat on the side. As soon as everyone sat down, Mr. Jones


    imed, "Jasper and Bridget''s wedding is scheduled for next week."


    This was the result of the discussion between Mr. Jones and Jasper. Although it was a hasty decision,


    it was good for everyone and could set the bad news to rest as soon as possible. After all, if they were


    married, no one would care about the fact that they went to the hotel to get a room before.


    As they got married, the news of illicit love would be a good story.


    Bridget did not expect it to be so soon. She was extremely happy but pretended to be calm.


    She firmly believed that feelings could be cultivated, and Jasper would definitely like her.


    Mr. Jones sighed. He had liked Jasper very much, but after this incident, he felt disappointed.


    But when Mr. Jones saw his daughter happy, he was relieved.


    After all, Mr. Jones still loved Bridget.


    "Well, it''s settled. Let''s have dinner now." Daisy said.


    After this matter was resolved, Bridget felt eased.


    At the table, Jasper was absent-minded and downhearted. Bridget put the food on his te, but Jasper


    did not appreciate it. He said coldly, "Serve yourself. Don''t worry about me."


    Jasper was not happy. Anyone could feel it from his tone.


    Arya lowered her head and didn''t understand why he didn''t try to ept it since he had chosen.


    If they got married, neither of them would be happy in the future.


    Arya''s mind wandered. At this moment, her chopsticks fell on a te of cold dishes. Just as she was


    about to take them back, she heard Jasper say with concern. "You have a stomachache. You can''t eat


    cold dishes. Don''t you know?"


    The atmosphere on the table suddenly froze. Because of Jasper''s words, they all looked at Arya.


    Arya''s hand froze. She was about to withdraw her hand, but now she had to get some cold food on the


    te and take a bite.


    Jasper''s words were easy to be misunderstood. And because of their current identity, it was even more


    inappropriate for him to say it.


    Xavier''s face was grim and his eyes were cold and gloomy. "You must have remembered the wrong


    person. My wife has a good stomach."


    Originally, the family disliked Arya. Hearing Jasper''s words, they would regard her as a slut.


    Mr. Jones knew that Jasper and Arya had a rtionship before, but he didn''t know they would be so


    close.


    He looked at Arya seriously and his tone was serious. "Since you''ve been a member of the Jones


    Family, you are my daughter-inw. You have to keep other men at a distance."


    One was his future son-inw, the other was his daughter-inw. If they really had an affair, it would put


    a great shame on the entire Jones Family.


    "I know," Arya answered affirmatively.


    "Well, today is my wedding. Don''t be so nervous. Jasper and my Arya are just friends." Bridget came


    out to lighten the mood. Her smile was very sweet, and there was no trace of anger in it as if nothing


    had happened just now. "In a few days, it will be my wedding day. I will still need Arya to help me."


    Arya was now her sister-inw, so it was reasonable for her to arrange the wedding for Bridget. She


    could not refuse Bridget, so she answered gently.


    "I made soup today. I''ll bring it over." Bridget got up and went to the kitchen to get the soup and put it


    on the table. She got a bowl for Arya. "I heard this soup do good to your stomach. Arya, try it now."


    Bridget''s smile sent shivers down Arya''s spine. She could not refuse Bridget''s kindness and pretended


    to be calm. "Thank you, Bridget."


    Just as Arya received the bowl, Bridget slightly moved the bowl and the soup was poured into her


    hand.


    Before Arya could react, she heard Bridget''s screams...
