Chapter 89
Chapter 89
Arya didn't want to see Xavier's gloomy face.
To her, it was an accident. It was a light in her dark life and also a painful spot that she no longer
wanted to touch in her life.
She and Xavier couldn't be together. Why should they have a child?
It would be fine if the child was safe and healthy, but if it was like four years ago, she would die.
She couldn't bear the pain again.
Xavier held her face and made her look at him. He said in a deep voice, "You don't even want to see
me, do you?"
The terrible pressure made Arya hard to breathe. She said in a choked voice, "Don't force me."
Xavier resisted the urge to strangle her and said word by word, "Let me ask you again, are you willing
to give birth to a child for me?"
"No... I am not... "
Xavier quickly held her chin and kissed her on her lips. She couldn't say anything now. Xavier's face
became gloomier, and the fire in his eyes was surging, which was extremely terrifying.
He clenched his back teeth, pressed his thumb against her lips, and pressed them hard. "I'm afraid it's
not up to you!"
Arya's only feeling was pain, but his words hurt her more.
Xavier tugged at her collar and stripped her clothes despite her will. Arya struggled, "I don't want it!"
Xavier didn't seem to hear her and she was no match for him in physical strength.
"Xavier! Don't make me hate you!"
Xavier's hand paused. 'What did she call me just now?'
'Xavier?'
Her address to him had always been Mr. Jones. No matter how close they were, she always addressed
him in a polite, distant way.
'Did she just call my name?'
His mind was in turmoil because of her calling his name. His heart was pounding and an indistinct
feeling swamped him.
Slowly, he let go of her, but his heart was filled with emotions.
He wanted to smoke to clear his mind, but there wasn't one in his pocket. Arya saw his intention and
quickly grabbed the cigarette on the table and handed it to him. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Xavier looked up at her and did not take it.
There were still tears in Arya's eyes, and she looked into Xavier's eyes. "Our relationship is improper in
the first place. What will our relationship be if we have a child?"
He was Harriet's fiancé.
Whether she admitted it or not, she and Harriet were half-sisters.
If he married Harriet, they were like committing incest.
Was he afraid that they were not humiliated enough?
So, even though Xavier was angry, she couldn't agree.
Xavier seemed to understand what she was trying to say and took the cigarette from her hand.
But he didn't give up on the idea of letting her have his child.
Her concern was nothing more than his relationship with Harriet.
He planned to get rid of it before the new year.
Arya grabbed the lighter on the table to lit the cigarette for him. "Suddenly want to smoke?"
Xavier took a deep look at her, and her careful look gradually calmed Xavier's heart.
He lowered his head so as to light the cigarette, and the smoke from his fingertips drifted. After a while,
he said, "Did I scare you just now?"
Arya shook her head decisively and said, "No."
Xavier reached out and smoothed her messy hair. He gently caressed her cheek and stopped on the
light scar on her right cheek.
How could he forget how stubborn this woman was?
She had even hurt herself to resist him.
Xavier rubbed the scar with his fingertips. "I don't like that. When Edward comes back, I'll ask him to
remove it."
Every time he saw this scar, he could remember how she had got it. Every time he thought of it, he was
angry and felt pity for her.
"OK, I am all yours." Arya knew that he was no longer angry and sat beside him, leaning on him.
There was a smell of tobacco on his body, and it was pungent.
Xavier held her in his arms and sighed. 'What should I do with her...'
At this moment, the door of the room was knocked, and soon Nanny Joy's voice came. "Sir, Jacob is
here."
Xavier frowned. 'Why is Jacob here so late?'
Arya got up from his arms and reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his collar. "He must have
something to tell you, or he wouldn't have come so late."
"You go to bed now. I'll go down and meet him." Xavier also came back from the court today and he
turned off his phone because he didn't want anyone to disturb him.
Jacob must have something to tell him now.
Xavier got up and left the room. Downstairs, Jacob stood at the entrance and did not enter.
Xavier saw this and asked, "Why didn't you come in?"
"Madam accidentally slipped on the snow and twisted her ankle. Nanny May couldn't get through to
you, so she called me." Jacob knew that Xavier would definitely go out when he heard this, so he just
stood at the door waiting.
"Was she sent to the hospital?" Xavier took out his cell phone and turned it on. There were several
calls from home. He grabbed his coat and went out. When he reached the entrance, he called Nanny
Joy. "Tell her I need to go out. Tell her not to wait for me."
Nanny Joy nodded and said okay.
"When I received the call, the driver had sent madam to the hospital. The doctor said that she had hurt
her bone, so she'll have to recuperate for some time." Jacob followed Xavier out and said to him.
Xavier nodded and asked Jacob to go back. He drove straight to the hospital.
Daisy had been sent to the ward.
When Xavier arrived at the ward, Nanny May just came back with medicine. When she saw Xavier, she
walked over quickly.
Xavier also saw her and asked, "How's my mother?"
"Madam's bones were hurt and should recuperate for a period... Be careful. Madam is not happy."
Nanny May wanted to remind Xavier but didn't know what to say.
Xavier frowned. She was hurt, so it was natural for her to be in a bad mood.
"I see." After saying that, Xavier walked towards the ward and pushed the door open. He saw Daisy
leaning against the bed and answering the phone.
"I'm fine."
Seeing Xavier coming in, Daisy said that and hung up.
She didn't look very well.
Xavier didn't care. He pulled the chair and sat down beside the bed.
"Your dad and Bridget will be back on Friday. Go to the airport to pick them up."
"Okay." Xavier took a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and handed it to Daisy.
Daisy didn't take it but glared at him. "I am so pissed off by you."
Today, she went to the mall to buy some things for the new year. She met Mrs. Gates, her daughter-in-
law, and her two-year-old grandson.
Mr. Gates and Mr. Jones were both in the army, and they knew each other. So she and Mrs. Gates
always made small talk when they met.
After saying a few sentences, Mrs. Gates talked about the Harrison Family, which Daisy didn't mind.
But she also brought up Xavier's annulment of the engagement.
What did Mrs. Gates say at that time?
She said, "Daisy, you're so unlucky. I remember that Xavier is four or five years older than Rufus. He is
33 after the new year, right? He canceled the engagement again. I felt bad for you."
Daisy was so angry.
Mrs. Gates had always liked to compete with Daisy in everything.
Her son was not so capable as Xavier, and her husband's position was not as high as Mr. Jones'.
Finally, she could defeat Daisy. She had to show off.
After talking about her daughter-in-law who was from a powerful family, she began to talk about her
grandson.
Daisy had been angry with Xavier for canceling the engagement with the daughter of the Taylor Family
back then. What pissed her more was that after Xavier canceled the engagement, the girl married into
the Gates Family. Not long after she got married, she was pregnant, and now the child was two years
old.
If Xavier hadn't done that, the two-year-old grandson would have belonged to the Jones Family.
So she had every reason to be angry.
