Chapter 323


    "I''m Cullen''s adjutant."


    Xavier had already recognized it.


    "Is miss by your side? Are you free to talk now?"


    Xavier nced at Arya in his arms. It was obvious that the adjutant didn''t want Arya to hear their


    conversation. Xavier then pinned Arya''s forehead hair behind her ear, "I''ll take a call."


    Arya didn''t think too much about it and thought it was business.


    Xavier walked out of the office and said to the phone, "Tell me what''s the matter."


    "The old chief is in the hospital now. His condition is not very good, but he doesn''t want miss to get


    worried..."


    Cullen was sick?


    Xavier nodded slightly.


    "The doctor said that the operation can be done, but it needs the signature of immediate family


    members, so miss will definitely know. So the old chief is very resistant to the operation, and even


    unwilling to receive the operation. I have no choice, so I can only turn to you."


    Xavier asked which hospital it was.


    "The affiliated hospital of the second military region of W City..."


    "I see." Xavier hung up.


    Cullen was sick, which was not a good thing for Xavier. Arya was about to give birth and it would


    definitely affect her mood if she knew this.


    Cullen must have thought about it too, so he didn''t let her know.


    "Who is it?" Arya stood at the door and looked at the man who was lost in thought at the end of the


    corridor.


    "My employee." Xavier put his phone in his pocket and walked over to put his arm around Arya''s


    shoulders, "I''ll take you back."

    Arya turned to look at him, "Aren''t youing?"


    Xavier didn''t look at her and pretended to be calm. "I still have something to do."


    Arya nodded and did not continue to ask.


    Xavier grabbed her hand and walked into the elevator. He then pressed the button of the elevator to the


    first floor. After a few minutes, they arrived at the lobby. The door of the elevator was slowly slid open.


    Arya followed Xavier as he was about to get out of the elevator. They bumped into Ondo, who was


    getting into the elevator.


    Arya didn''t manage things in thepany anymore. Ondo was in charge of a lot of things, and when


    it came to something he couldn''t decide, Xavier would take it over.


    Ondo''s eyes lit up when he saw Arya, "I haven''t seen you for a while."


    As he spoke, his eyes fell on her abdomen.


    Arya smiled and said, "Yeah." Since Xavier came back, she had never asked anything.


    Seeing the document in Ondo''s hand, she asked, "Is it about work?"


    Ondo shrugged his shoulders and waved the document in front of Arya, "You have dumped the work


    away, so I have to do more work..."


    Ondo smiled. It was just a joke.


    Arya naturally knew that it was joking. She had known Ondo for a long time. She looked at Xavier


    and said, "I''m leaving now to set the stage for you two to have a word. Ask the driver to send me back."


    Arya thought Xavier wanted to talk to Ondo for work, so she decided to leave first.


    Xavier walked down with her in his arms, "There is no need."


    Arya felt this would be improper, so her lips curled up slightly. "I''m an adult. Can''t I take care of


    myself?" Her smile was very gentle and warm.


    As she spoke, she looked at Ondo and smiled, "I know you''re tired. I''ll treat you to dinner when I''m


    avable."


    Ondo looked at Arya for a long time. She had changed now.


    Her whole body was emitting a soft radiance, especially when she smiled. The corners of her eyes and


    brows all looked radiant. It could be seen that she was living a good life now.


    "What are you looking at?" Xavier''s cold voice pulled Ondo back from a daze.


    Ondo regained his senses and coughed lightly to cover up his rudeness.


    Xavier nced at him again and walked back to the elevator.


    Ondo followed in with the document.


    There was a moment of silence in the elevator.


    Ondo looked at the bright elevator wall and said leisurely, "She has changed."


    Xavier pursed his lips as if he was unhappy with Ondo''s evaluation of Arya. Did Ondo know her


    well?


    Ondo didn''t care if Xavier was angry or not. He said to himself, "The first time I saw her was at the


    shareholders meeting of the K&T Inc. She spoke with such sharpness that she didn''t even care about


    her own father. She gave people the impression of being heartless, cold, and inhumane. But after


    getting along with her, it can be found that all this is because she has been hurt badly before... Now


    she''s changed, and she makes people feel warm rather than cold."


    Ondo said this with sincerity from the bottom of his heart.


    Xavier''s eyes sank.


    The corners of his lips curved at the thought of all the things he had done with her before.


    Yes, she had be more feminine.


    In the past, she liked to pretend and always hid her emotions.


    Outside the building, when Arya was about to get into the car, she saw Jacob get off a taxi across the


    road, followed by J. Arya stopped and wondered whether that woman was the one in the photo.


    The woman who was almost married to Jasper?


    Arya closed the door and didn''t get in the car.


    The driver asked in confusion, "Madam, aren''t you leaving now?"


    Arya said, "Yes, please wait for a while."


    Jacob stood by the roadside and spoke to J.


    "I''ll think of a way to help you with your work." Jacob didn''t mean anything else. He was also born in a


    poor family. Seeing a girl like her in such a difficult situation, he wanted to do his best to help her.


    She had no job now, and her money was wasted by Grover. It was hard to repay the debt.


    "Thank you so much..." As she spoke, J inadvertently saw Arya standing in front of the building


    across the road, and Arya was also looking at this side. Their eyes met...


    Jacob felt J''s strange gaze and turned around to see Arya.


    Jacob hesitated for a moment and said, "Come with me."


    If he really persuaded Xavier to let J work in thepany, Arya would see her sooner orter.


    J nodded.


    Walking across the street, Jacob didn''t know how to speak for a moment. It was Arya who spoke first,


    "Did you juste back from outside?"


    Jacob''s eyes twitched. It was Xavier who left him outside.


    But he couldn''t say that. He smiled, "I went out to do something."


    Arya didn''t care what he was going out for, and she was just looking for a topic to chat about. She then


    stared at J.


    Jacob didn''t know how much Arya knew, "Are you going back now, should I send you..."


    "No need." Arya interrupted him and looked at J. "There''s a coffee shop not far away. Shall we go


    and sit down?"


    J pursed her lips and looked at Arya, "Okay."


    Arya raised her eyebrows and looked back at him, "Well, does Jacob want to join us?"


    "No."


    "Then what''s that?"


    Jacob was stunned and scratched his head. He did not know what to say.


    Arya knew what Jacob was afraid of, and she couldn''t help smiling bitterly, "He knows."


    Then she walked towards the coffee shop not far away...
