Chapter 257


    "I know who I am. You don''t need to remind me anymore." Harriet lowered her head and looked


    aggrieved.


    "If you know who you are, don''t do anything that goes beyond your right. Put away your evil thoughts.


    There is no room for you to be presumptuous. If I know what you''ve done, I won''t be merciful to you no


    matter who you are!" So he wouldn''t be soft-hearted. Xavier didn''t care about making a big fuss today


    and let everyone know that he wasn''t without a temper. Hepromised before just because of family


    ties.


    But there was a limit!


    "What are you doing here?!" Henry pped the table and got up. "Do you want to abandon your


    parents and younger sister for a woman?"


    He didn''t want to have a conflict with Xavier, but he couldn''t bear Xavier''s attitude. He only cared about


    that woman.


    Who else could he care about?!


    "Xavier..." Daisy could tell that Xavier was not going to muddle through today. He was a little abnormal


    today.


    "Mom, don''t say anything. I want to make it clear today. I marry her and she is my wife." Xavier looked


    at everyone in the restaurant in a low but articte voice. "I don''t think she owes anything to this family.


    Something happened to me. She''s keeping my career, my people, and my home. How many women


    can do that? I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I thank her for everything she has done for me,


    for having children with me, so don''t talk about her identity anymore!"


    "Xavier, don''t worry. Mom knows that she''s our Jones Family''s daughter-inw. No one can change


    that. With me around, I won''t let her suffer." Others did not know how hard Arya had suffered during


    that time, but she knew. She had experienced it herself and knew the suffering at that time.


    "What''s wrong with you? Bridget just came back. What do you want?" Henry said in a deep voice.


    "Mommy." Ryan burrowed into Arya''s arms and buried his head in her arms without looking at anyone.


    Although he didn''t know what happened, he knew that the adults had quarreled.


    Arya did not say anything, hugging Ryan tightly. No matter what Xavier thought, she would stand on his


    side. Now she was not suitable to say anything.


    And she didn''t want to say anything.


    "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you." After Xavier finished speaking, he rolled his wheelchair and


    left the restaurant.


    Daisy could tell that Xavier was making such a big fuss because he had something to say.


    Daisy took Henry''s hand and patted his back, "Calm down. Let''s go and see what he wants to say."


    He didn''t say anything, but he didn''t reject Daisy and leave the restaurant with her.


    As soon as he left, Bridget looked at Arya, "Your methods are so clever that not only does my brother is


    dead set on being with you, but even my mother is on your side now."


    "Bridget..."


    "Don''t call me! Do you dare to say that my current situation is not because of you?!" Bridget interrupted


    Arya and stared at her.


    "Bridget, we are a family. I hope you have a good life, and I sincerely hope that you and Jasper have a


    good result. Maybe there''s my reason for this, but he and I are just friends." Arya also looked at her


    and faced her calmly.


    She hoped that she could make things clear to her and get along well with her.


    Bridget looked at Arya quietly. Arya''s expression was too serious and her tone was too sincere. Bridget


    could not help raising her eyebrows, "I won''t believe you."


    ''Doesn''t she think she can cheat me like this?''


    "Bridget, I''m married to your brother. We have Ryan and we have a family. If I really have anything to


    do with Jasper, will I still be with your brother? In your eyes, your brother is so stupid?" Arya persuaded


    her patiently, hoping that Bridget would figure it out and not get into a blind alley.


    Bridget got into a blind alley. She believed that there was something between Arya and Jasper that


    caused her and Jasper to divorce.


    But she forgot that she had schemed against Jasper from the beginning. Jasper never loved her, so


    even if they got together, they wouldn''t be happy.


    Bridget still didn''t believe Arya''s words, but she wavered. She got up and left the restaurant. Harriet


    nced at Arya and followed Bridget away...


    In the study, Daisy stood behind Henry, waiting for Xavier to say something.


    Xavier kept silent.


    Daisy thought something had happened again. Breaking the silence, she looked at Xavier and asked,


    "Did something happen?"


    Henry didn''t say anything, but he also wanted to know what Xavier wanted to say when he called them


    in.


    Xavier looked up at his parents and said calmly, "There is hope that my legs could be cured and I can


    stand up again. But I should go to America."


    "Oh my God. You... you should go now." Daisy was so excited that she was a little incoherent. She


    wished Xavier could leave now.


    Henry was also excited to hear that Xavier could still stand up again, but he didn''t act as obvious as


    Daisy.


    He asked, "When are you leaving?"


    Xavier didn''t answer. He just looked at his parents quietly. Daisy saw what Xavier was thinking and said


    quickly, "Just go. There will be nothing wrong with me at home."


    Xavier remained silent. It wasn''t that he didn''t trust Daisy, but that Bridget was her daughter. If Bridget


    threaten her by jumping off the building again, what would she do?


    "I want them to go back to the vi. We''ll talk about it when I get back." This was Xavier''s purpose


    today. When Bridget came back, he knew that Arya couldn''t stay here. He was worried that there was


    an unscrupulous Harriet at home. Now Bridget was also at home, he was even more worried.


    He couldn''t rest assured. Either he would not leave, or Arya would go back to the vi to stay away


    from these people.


    "You don''t trust me?" Daisy didn''t expect him to refuse.


    Xavier''s voice was low, "It has nothing to do with trust. There are many people in the family, and Ryan


    is not in good health. I want them to live in a quiet ce."


    Arya was pregnant now, and Ryan was not in good health. He didn''t want her to live under pressure


    here, or else he wouldn''t be able to leave at ease.


    "Okay." Daisy hesitated for a moment and agreed. Now his legs were important.


    Henry did not object. As Daisy thought, it was more important for Xavier to cure his legs now.


    "When are you leaving?" Daisy asked. She wanted Xavier to leave as soon as possible.


    "I''ll leave when they get back to the vi."


    Henry sighed slightly. He felt that his son had changed. He almost didn''t know him anymore.


    For the sake of that woman, he spared no effort to do this for fear that she would be wronged at home.


    Who did Xavier think he and Daisy are? If Xavier hadn''t gone to treatment, he would have asked him


    today.


    Xavier ignored the unpredictable expression on Henry''s face. After getting a satisfactory answer, he


    turned his wheelchair and left the study. Henry was obviously not in a good mood. Daisy persuaded


    him and did note out of the study.


    The restaurant was quiet.


    Harriet and Bridget left and did note back. The food on the table was cold. Arya brought it into the


    kitchen to heat it up. Ryan sat alone at the table. When he saw Xaviere in, he slid down from his


    chair and threw himself into his arms.


    "Dad."


    Ryany on Xavier''sp. Xavier patted him on the back and asked softly, "What''s wrong, Ryan?"


    "I''m sleepy." Ryan closed his eyes and nestled himself in Xavier''s arms as if he was really sleepy.


    "You can go to bed after dinner." After Daisyforted Henry, she came out and saw Ryan saying he


    was going to sleep. She walked over and picked Ryan up from Xavier''s arms and walked to the table to


    feed him.


    Henry asked the servant to ask Bridget and Harriet out for dinner.


    Arya brought the food to the table, and everyone returned to the table. The whole family sat and ate


    together, just like what they did at the beginning.


    Arya sat at the table. She had no appetite, so she didn''t eat anything.


    Ryan didn''t want to eat anymore after two bites. It waste in the evening, so he was sleepy and


    wanted to go to sleep. Arya got up and walked to Daisy. He picked up Ryan from her arms. "I''ll take


    him to bed."


    "You haven''t eaten anything. You are pregnant now. You should eat some." Daisy saw that she didn''t


    move her chopsticks much.


    "I drank a bowl of soup when I heat the food. I''m not hungry anymore. Don''t worry." After saying that,


    Arya left the restaurant and took Ryan to bed.


    Xavier didn''t move his chopsticks either, but he didn''t leave.


    His eyes fell on Bridget and he said to her, "Come out with me. I have something to tell you."


    Before Bridget answered, Xavier rolled his wheelchair and left the restaurant. Harriet nced at Bridget


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    and wondered what Xavier was going to say to Bridget.


    Xavier didn''t go into the room but went to the backyard. He didn''t enter the study. The breeze was


    blowing at night, and it was a bit cold when it blew on people.


    Xavier stopped at the stone table in the backyard. Bridget followed and sat directly on the stone bench.


    The moonlight was bright today, and the sky was full of stars.


    "Brother, what are you going to say to me?" Bridget asked.


    Shey on the stone table, not in good spirits.


    A lot of things happened tonight, and she thought a lot. She understood Arya''s words a little bit, but she


    couldn''t ept thempletely.


    All she could do was to stay away from her. If the worstes to the worst, she would move out on her


    own.


    "She''s your sister-inw. I hope you respect her." Xavier looked up at the sky. This was his sister. He


    hoped that Bridget would understand and get along well with Arya.


    Bridgety on the stone table with her head resting on her arm and tilting her head to look at the cherry


    tree not far away. She said slowly, "Brother, do you remember when I was a child, I loved to sit under


    that cherry tree and draw? Although it wasn''t good, you always said it was beautiful."


    Xavier looked over at the cherry tree as well.


    There was silence. Neither of them spoke, only the evening breeze was blowing the treetops, making a


    slight noise.


    "Brother, do you trust her so much?" Bridget said, breaking the silence.


    "Yes."


    Without any hesitation, Xavier did not know when he trusted Arya so much. Perhaps it was when she


    entered his heart, or perhaps when they were getting along.


    "I have a knot in my heart. Give me time." Bridget choked up. She had never liked anyone before.


    Jasper was the first person she liked. She really liked him.


    She was heartbroken by this ending.


    "Well, she''s going back to the vi. Don''t look for her." Xavier said.


    "Why can''t Jasper treat me like you treat sister-inw? Am I not good enough? Brother..." Bridget


    sobbed softly.


    "Forget him. He''s not suitable for you." Xavier stretched out his hand to wipe Bridget''s tears. "Maybe...


    You''re not destined to be with him."


    Bridget hugged Xavier, "Brother..."


    She had a lot to say, but she couldn''t say anything, "As long as she doesn''t provoke me, I promise I


    won''t trouble her. Now I can only do this."


    Xavier patted her on the back. That was enough. They''ll talk about it when he came back.


    He knew his own sister that she was not a bad person. This matter was a great blow to her.


    She had to figure it out on her own.


    Xavier stayed outside with Bridget for a while and asked her if her days abroad were good.


    Bridget said yes. Edward took very good care of her.


    When Xavier returned to the room, Arya and Ryan were already lying on the bed.


    Hearing the noise, Arya slowly opened her eyes. "Sleep with me."


    "Yeah." Xavier rolled the wheelchair to the bedside and put his hands on the bed. He moved from the


    wheelchair to the bed. Arya made way for him. Xaviery down and pulled her into his arms.


    Arya faced him, nestled in his arms, and Xavier patted her on the back. "It''ste. Go to sleep."


    Arya said nothing. Before Xavier came in, she called Jacob and asked him to prepare. She hoped


    Xavier would go early and he would stand up early.


    Nestled in his arms for a long time and unable to fall asleep, she nestled against his chest and asked


    with a muffled voice, "Will you miss me?"
