Chapter 260


    Henry was stunned. Most of the time, Daisy stood by him. He didn''t expect her to be so angry this time.


    "Daisy..."


    Harriet cut in, "Don''t worry. I''ll try my best not to displease Arya. After all, she''s pregnant. Since she


    doesn''t like me, I''ll try to avoid her. In the worst case, I''ll go back to Grandpa."


    Harriet pretended to ignore her, but tears welled up her eyes.


    "Don''t worry. I''m the one who calls the shots here. Tell me if such happens again. I''ll make the decision


    for you!" Henry felt ufortable to hear this. Despite the fact that Harriet''s Grandpa, Cullen was


    indeed indebted to him for promotion, his only son was sacrificed because of him.


    Once they went out on a mission together. To fight against the drug bandits in Golden Triangle, Cullen''s


    son died for saving him. He felt that he owed the Porter Family, so he cared and loved the only child of


    the Porter Family very much.


    Harriet was moved to tears. "Thank you for trusting me."


    He stood up from the desk, walked around the desk to Harriet''s side, and patted her on the shoulder,


    "I''m sorry about this."


    Harriet quickly shook her head and said, "No, don''t say that. You''re like my father."


    Henry was stunned, tightening his grip on Harriet''s shoulder. This seemed to remind him that she had


    no father because of him.


    Harriet didn''t know about what happened between Henry and the Porter Family. She just said it


    casually.


    So she didn''t know what he was feeling, "This is your home from now on. If anyone dares to give you a


    hard time, I won''t let him go!" he said.


    "Thanks." Harriet lowered her head with a cold look in her eyes.


    Henry was really good to the Porter Family.


    Unfortunately...


    Daisy panted. She knew why Henry was so nice to Harriet, but what she did was uneptable to her.


    Her affectation irritated Daisy who mmed the door in anger.


    "Go back and rest." Henry waved his hand tiredly. He had been tired out dealing with a series of


    troubles for the past few days.

    Harriet pursed her lips, "Is Daisy angry because of me?"


    Henry sighed slightly and said, "It''s okay. She''s not angry at you. Go to bed. It''s gettingte."


    Harriet nodded and left the study as she was told.


    Henry went upstairs to see how Daisy was doing. He was worried about her.


    On the other side, Arya returned to her room andy on the bed, worn out.


    Bridget followed in and sat by the bed, making it easy to talk to Arya.


    "Arya." Bridget called as she weighted her words. She didn''t think Arya took it to heart.


    Arya looked at her sideways, "Do you want to ask why I don''t care about Harriet''s words?"


    Bridget nodded repeatedly. That was what she wanted to ask. She was puzzled.


    Arya said, looking out the window, "There''s something you may not know. Before you came back, your


    brother had been unconscious for more than a month. The doctor made it clear that he was unlikely to


    wake up..."


    Bridget was stunned for a moment. Daisy didn''t tell her in detail about that. It turned out that he was


    unconscious.


    Her heart knotted at the news. "I... Why was he unconscious?" she asked.


    "It''s someone who from your brother''spany did it, but he has paid the price," said Arya in a t


    tone.


    "Okay." Bridget breathed a sigh of relief. "So those people hurt him?"


    Arya pursed her lips and said, "No."


    "What is it?" Bridget was not calm anymore. She was eager to know the truth.


    Arya could tell how anxious she was. She seemed to see the shadow of Xavier when she looked at her.


    "He was trying to protect me." Now she could still feel the warmth of Xavier holding her.


    Tears slid down from the corner of her eyes as she grabbed Bridget''s hand. "So no matter what


    happens, I will trust him!"


    It was his actions that gave her the reason to trust him.


    So Xavier had the implicit trust of her.


    Arya said after a moment of thought, "Bridget, being too persistent will hurt you. You have to learn to let


    it go. Jasper is a good man, but he''s as persistent as you."


    It was difficult for such two people to get together.


    She didn''t want Bridget to be hurt again because of Jasper.


    She understood what Arya said, but...


    Looking at Arya, she said, "I haven''t been with him for long. I don''t know why, but I just can''t move on."


    She thought about moving on many times, but she thought there was still a gleam of hope if she tried


    harder.


    Bridget muttered, "Is there no more chance between us?"


    She seemed to be asking herself.


    Arya stopped talking, knowing that Bridget wouldn''t listen to her even if she said more.


    Bridget, however, did not give up and took Arya''s hand instead, seeking her opinion.
