Chapter 30
She had never been respected by Xavier before.
"Even if I should be in jail forever, I don't want you to beg him!" This was the first time Jasper had
spoken directly to Arya about Xavier.
He knew Xavier's intention by doing so too well.
Jasper didn't want her to beg Xavier.
"I'm willing to stay inside. Don't beg him. If you should suffer something for my freedom, I would rather
die!" Jasper looked at Arya's misty eyes and felt a stuffy pain like a hammer hitting his heart.
Arya lowered her eyes and her tears slid down. She couldn't ignore him. "If it weren't you, I wouldn't
survive. I'm not a pure person. It doesn't matter to me whether I go to beg him or not. But I can't just
watch you get destroyed because of me."
After that, she ran out without looking back.
She was crying while running. No matter how Jasper roared, she didn't stop.
She hailed a taxi by the roadside and went straight to the Jones Group.
The receptionist looked impatient when she saw Arya. This was the second time that Arya had come
here today.
However, the receptionist had already received instructions from the senior that Arya couldn't be
allowed to go upstairs.
"I want to see Mr. Jones!"
Arya said anxiously.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jones' schedule is full today. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you. But if you're in a
hurry, you can wait outside the building."
Arya clenched her fists and took a deep breath to calm down.
If she still didn't understand, she might be stupid.
Obviously, Xavier was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.
Although she didn't know what she did wrong or how she offended him.
She had to see him.
This difficulty was nothing compared to Jasper's future.
She strode out the door of the building and stood upright.
The receptionist saw Arya standing at the door and made a phone call to the president's office.
Xavier knew Arya would come.
He just wanted to see how much this woman could do for that man.
How deep was their relationship?
He hung up the phone after saying he knew it and continued reading the documents.
Fortunately, it was autumn so the sun was not so strong. But at noon, the sun was glaring. Arya
narrowed her eyes, and her lips were so dry that they peeled. But she still did not get the news that
Xavier would see her.
She could only continue to stand there.
She had stood there from the morning till the afternoon. People who worked in the company got off
work one after another. When they saw Arya still standing here, they couldn't help but look at her.
But they did not dare to discuss it. Jacob had instructed them not to discuss it or spread it.
They took a detour and left the building.
Arya didn't even change her standing posture. Even though she hadn't had a drop of water for a day
and her face was pallid and looked exhausted, she didn't flinch at all.
Xavier knew that Arya was downstairs, but he didn't take a look.
He was still busy with his work when Jacob hesitated and came up, "She's still standing there."
"Leave her alone!" Xavier was angry.
Well, he wanted to see how long she could last.
Jacob did not dare to say another word and buried himself in his work.
After work at night, Xavier went straight down to the parking lot by elevator and drove away from the
garage.
He avoided meeting Arya.
Originally, he wanted to go straight to the villa. But he changed his mind halfway and went back to the
old house.
The maid opened the door for him. He walked in and asked the maid to bring him a wet towel.
After wiping his hands, he gave the towel to the maid and walked into the living room.
In the living room, Daisy was talking to Estella about the wedding date.
Seeing Xavier coming back, Daisy waved at him and motioned for him to come over because she had
something to say. "I called your father. He's been a little busy recently and has an important meeting.
The earliest time he can come back is in November. I went to pick up an auspicious day today. The
fortune-teller said that November was not good. So I picked December 22nd. Do you think it's okay?"
Xavier looked indifferent. "It depends on you."
Estella quickly patted Harriet beside her and asked Harriet to sit next to Xavier.
"Xavier, are you tired?"
Harriet sat over.
"A little." Xavier lifted up his head and leaned on the sofa. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Harriet got up and walked around the sofa. She stood behind him and rubbed his temples.
She said gently, "I just made notorious soup today. You should drink more at dinner."
Xavier opened his eyes, took her hand, and sat her down.
"Look how close they are." Estella held Daisy's hand. "Harriet, this girl, has been spoiled by me since
she was a child. If she does anything wrong after marrying into your family, please forgive her."
"Don't mention it. After she marrying into the Jones Family, we will be a family." Daisy was not a vitriolic
person, and Estella was very good at talking. So they had a good talk.
"Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to have dinner now?" The servant came over and asked.
"It's getting late. Let's have dinner. Daisy had already stood up when she said this.
Xavier always held Harriet's hand. He took her to the dining room.
Estella looked at Xavier holding Harriet's hand. They looked affectionate, which made Estella feel
happy.
She couldn't help but praise her daughter in her heart.
As long as Harriet stayed with Xavier, she would live a happy life.
Because Estella and Harriet were there, the servant prepared many dishes that filled the table.
There were only four people sitting at the big round mahogany table for ten, which looked a little empty.
"It's a little lonely at home. Even Bridget isn't here. Aren't you bored by yourself?" Estella took the
initiative to talk to Daisy.
"It'll be fine after they get married. After a year or so, she can give me a grandson and it'll be lively."
Daisy seemed to have imagined a better life in the future.
"Harriet, did you hear that?" Estella was grinning.
"Mom." Harriet was shy and picked up her chopsticks to add food to Daisy. "This tastes good."
"Okay." Daisy smiled and looked at Harriet serving soup for Xavier. "Don't bother. Have yourself some
food."
Harriet agreed and put the soup in front of Xavier, "Taste it to see if you like it. If it is good, drink more."
Xavier had no appetite, but he still drank it and said it was okay.
After dinner, when Estella and Harriet were about to leave, Xavier kept Harriet.
Today, for some reason, he didn't want to be alone. No matter who it was, he just wanted someone to
accompany him.
Harriet was a little incredulous. Xavier actually took the initiative to keep her.
Estella put her arm around her daughter's shoulder and said in a voice that only they two could hear,
"Seize the opportunity."
Harriet nodded. She would seize this rare opportunity even if Estella didn't say.
The driver sent Estella home, and Daisy went back to her room to give them space.
Xavier took Harriet to the second floor, pushed open the door of the room, and carried Harriet to bed.
Harriet's heart was in a surge.
Harriet had been ready to have sex with Xavier but Xavier just held her and did nothing.
He was simply lying on the bed with her in his arms.
Harriet was going crazy.
Being held by such a man, her heart was beating wildly, and she desperately wanted to have
something with him. She didn't even care to pretend to be pure in front of Xavier and touched him with
her hand. "Xavier, let me be your woman..."
