Chapter 59
Xavier was unbuttoning his collar in frustration. Seeing Arya come in, he felt better instantly.
His movements slowed down.
Arya put a bowl of noodles on the table, then walked up to him and unbuttoned him. "You look
unhappy. Who provoked you?"
Xavier looked down at her and suddenly grabbed her hand with a half-smile. "You. That's why I'm not Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
happy."
"What did I do?" Arya met his gaze and asked, "When you come back, I stopped eating to greet you
and made noodles for you. What's wrong with me? Tell me."
"I haven't seen you only for two days, and you've become so eloquent." Xavier put his arm around her
waist tightly, keeping her body close to his.
Arya blushed slightly with his gesture.
She broke free of his hand, took off his coat, and threw it on the bed. Pretending to be relaxed, she
brought the bowl of noodles over. "Have some."
Xavier didn't take it over but just looked at the noodles in the bowl.
"I cooked it especially for you. Have a try, please?"
Arya picked up the noodles with chopsticks and fed him. "Hmm?"
Xavier looked at her serious face and opened his mouth.
Mmm, it tasted good.
"Actually, you can give me something better."
Arya asked subconsciously, "What?"
"You!"
She didn't react for a moment.
"Me?"
"I want to eat you more than noodles."
His eyes were passionate and his voice was deep and seductive.
Arya shot a glance at him, "Silly."
Thinking of something, Xavier took the bowl from her hand, put it on the table, and took her out of the
room.
"Where are you taking me?"
Xavier didn't answer her. He just took her to his study.
It was the second time that Arya had entered here.
Xavier sat behind the desk, wrapped his arms around Arya's waist, and let her sit on his lap.
Then he took out a document from the drawer and put it on the table. "Here you go."
Arya looked at the document on the table and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
This was the other half share of K&T Inc.
'It was not time yet. Is he going to give it to me?'
Arya couldn't believe it.
Xavier seemed to see through her thoughts. His hand around her waist tightened a little and he held
her tightly in his arms. "If I want to get a person, there are millions of ways."
But he didn't want to get her in this way. He just wanted to make their relationship pure.
It was not a deal, not a relationship of buying and selling.
Just him and her purely.
There was no interest involved.
Arya was not very excited looking at the document.
'Does he give me the document as a comfort because he didn't punish Estella?'
If so, she would accept it.
She felt she was ridiculous. 'How could I expect him to make things difficult for his future mother-in-
law?'
'That is good. In the future, they would be even.'
She lowered her eyes and said faintly, "I'll take your reward..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xavier pressed her lips. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Arya pursed her lips and said nothing.
Some things wouldn't disappear even if she ignored them.
Xavier pressed her head into his arms. He wanted to say something but stopped.
He couldn't promise her anything.
Even if he didn't marry Harriet, he couldn't marry her.
His wife had to be pure. That was his bottom line.
Arya quietly leaned into his arms. Perhaps this was the last time.
There was no reluctant feeling in her heart, just a little melancholy.
Unknowingly, she walked on a road of no return and had nowhere to turn back.
"What are you thinking?" Xavier rubbed her hair.
Arya pursed the corner of her mouth and was about to say "nothing", but Xavier's phone rang.
It was Harriet.
Xavier didn't look good. He didn't have to think about it to know what she was calling him for at this
moment.
Arya's eyes darkened when she saw the name on his phone screen. She took the initiative to wrap her
arms around Xavier's neck and smiled. "Not answering?"
Xavier pinched her chin to make her eyes meet hers. "Do you want me to answer it?"
"That's your fiancée..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed.
Arya responded to him with enthusiasm and vengeance.
The phone stopped and rang again.
There was a tinge of joy in Arya's heart. Harriet's fiancé was hanging out with her at the moment.
Arya was exceptionally enthusiastic today. Xavier was whispering in her ear gently, "Hmm? You're so
proactive today. Have you fallen in love with me?"
Arya smiled. It was hard to tell what she said was true or not. "Well... I like you. Can you marry me?"
Xavier froze for a few seconds and soon returned to normal. He pecked Arya on the lips and said, "Try
harder."
So that he would ignore her past, accept her, and give her a status desperately.
Make her his wife.
Arya did not understand what he meant.
She just smiled faintly.
Over there, Harriet stood by the window, lost in thought.
She thought to herself that Xavier was really angry this time, so he didn't even answer her phone.
Harriet panicked. If she did nothing, Xavier would definitely hate her. She had to explain to Xavier.
Thinking about it, she changed her clothes and was going to see Xavier.
Estella was in the living room. She saw Harriet hurrying downstairs and asked, "It's so late. Where are
you going?"
"I'm going to see Xavier. I want to explain to him."
Estella stopped her. "It's so late. He must have slept. If you go to find him now, he will only think you're
not sensible."
"Sleep? He might be flirting with that slut..."
Estella frowned. "Harriet, what are you talking about?"
"I..." Harriet was speechless for a moment and angrily shook Estella off. "You will only cause me
trouble. You can't help me at all."
As she spoke, Harriet cried. She had been depressed for the past few days.
Xavier was indifferent to her. He kept her aloof, making her worried.
And troubles at home kept going on.
She was afraid, afraid that one day Xavier would really abandon her.
"Mom, I like him. I love him. I don't want to lose him."
Harriet held her head helplessly.
Estella hugged her daughter and patted her on the back to comfort her. "It's okay. It's okay. He won't
abandon you. He has to be responsible for you."
"I don't want him to be responsible for me. I want him to like me, love me, care about me!"
Harriet held Estella's hand tightly. "Mom, I can't live without him, but he always treats me as if he owed
me. He's a normal man, but he never touches me."
Estella knew that Xavier just treated Harriet with responsibility but not love.
If he liked or loved her, he wouldn't let Harriet wait so many years and didn't marry her.
But then again, as long as Harriet made good use of his responsibility, she would be able to catch him.
"Harriet, calm down. As long as he doesn't know the truth for a day, his responsibility and guilt for you
will always be there. It's not that you don't have a chance, but that you still have a big chance.
The day of marriage is not far away. As long as you marry into the Jones Family, you are husband and
wife, and he must fulfill his duties as a husband.
When you become a couple, you will give birth to a lovely child for him. At that time, even if one day he
knows that it wasn't you that night, he won't abandon you. "
Estella's words gave Harriet strong support. She wiped her face and held Estella's hand tightly. "Will I
really marry him and have a child?"
"Yes, you are the best. You look so beautiful. He will definitely fall in love with you."
Estella touched her daughter's hair. "Your father used to love his ex-wife very much, but what about
after meeting me? Harriet, you are my daughter. You must be able to catch Xavier's heart and make
him unable to leave you."
Looking at Estella's determined look, Harriet gradually calmed down.
'Yes, if my mother could make it, I could succeed, too...'
