Chapter 359
Chapter 359
The night was quiet. It seemed that all the creatures had fallen asleep.
Xavier didn't sleep, and even the baby didn't wake up.
He sat by the bed and looked at her quietly. The moonlight shone through the curtains and fell on her
face as if it was covered with a thin layer of light, looking dimly discernible.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek. The warm touch between his fingers made him
throb. He thought how stupid his previous thoughts were.
How could he die without giving her enough love in this life?
Arya felt itchy and moved to avoid it.
Xavier withdrew his hand. He lay down beside her, held her in his arms, and gently rubbed his lips
behind her ears...
Arya was still asleep before, and now she was conscious and knew who was holding her. She slowly
opened her eyes and looked out the window. Tears slid down from the corner of her eyes without any
warning...
Xavier felt the change in her breath. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her
earlobes, cheeks, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Forgive me..."
"I need some time." She didn't want to lie to him or herself. She needed time to change her mood.
If he forced Arya to date him now, there must be a barrier between them.
In the past, Xavier would never allow her to leave him, but now, he did not dare to force her.
In the morning, Daisy came over before Xavier left. At noon, Caspar came.
Knowing that Arya had a baby, he specially bought a gift.
"Why are you alone? Why doesn't Alice come?" Caspar didn't want to tell Arya, but he felt
uncomfortable for keeping it a secret.
"We're divorced." Caspar drooped his head and was dejected.
Arya frowned in disbelief. Even she could realize that Caspar and Alice were in a good relationship.
How could they be divorced?
"She hasn't given birth to a baby. My parents put a lot of pressure on her..." Caspar knew that Alice
chose to divorce him in large part because she couldn't give birth, and the attitude of the family was not Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
the real trigger.
Caspar said they could adopt a child, or move out of the house to live alone.
"She's too stubborn. She's hiding. I haven't heard from her at all." Caspar became more annoyed.
Only then did Arya realize that Alice had not come here to visit her since her accident.
If she was still in the company, she would know what Orlando knew and would come to see her.
"How long has she been absent?" Arya asked.
"Almost two months." Caspar scratched his hair and looked up at Arya, "I shouldn't have told you this."
"It's okay." Arya looked at Caspar and felt sorry for him.
She had seen him talk so eloquently in court, and now looking at his thin and listless appearance, it
was really different. There are dark circles under his eyes, and he must have not slept well during this
period.
"How can I help you?" Arya felt that Alice was ill-considered. Alice should have talked to Caspar
instead of hiding.
"I've found all the places she might go. You'd better go through the postpartum confinement and take
good care of yourself." Caspar had no expression and he was not in a good mood.
Arya sighed slightly, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"
"Just play it by ear." In fact, Caspar didn't know what he could do. He couldn't start a new relationship
now.
Alice broke his heart.
Caspar looked around the room, "Isn't Ryan there?"
"No. I don't even have time to play with Ryan. When he comes, can you hang out with him?"
Ryan had known Caspar for a long time and had deep feelings for him. Arya said that she wanted
Caspar to hang out with Ryan, but in fact, she just wanted Caspar to go out and relax.
"That's a good idea. Ever since Ryan returned to the Jones Family, I haven't had much time to see
him..."
Caspar complained. Before he could finish speaking, Ryan's voice came outside the door. Arya smiled,
"Look, Ryan is here."
Caspar got up and Bridget opened the door, holding Ryan in her hand.
"Mommy, Caspar." Ryan excitedly let go of Bridget's hand and ran towards the crib. "I want to see my
younger sister."
Ryan already knew from Bridget that he had a younger sister.
He was so excited that he reached out his head against the railing and blinked. He felt his younger
sister was different from what he had imagined.
The girls he saw in the kindergarten had such long hair and braids, which was so cute, but his younger
sister was so different from them, "My sister is so young."
Caspar stood behind him as if he had known what Ryan was thinking about, "When your sister grows
up, she will be much prettier than your classmates in kindergarten."
Ryan turned around and looked at Caspar hopefully, "Really?"
"Of course, I have never lied to you." Caspar rubbed his hair, "Do you forget me when you live a happy
life with your dad?"
Ryan tilted his head and shook his head, "No."
He patted his chest, "I put you here."
Caspar was amused by him, "How come you become a glib talker after going to school? Hmm?"
Ryan chuckled and pulled Caspar, who squatted down to make it easier for Ryan to whisper to him.
Ryan put his two small hands next to Caspar's ear and whispered, "I learned it from TV programs."
Caspar pinched his face, "Don't be a bad student."
Ryan raised her head and spread her hands, "I didn't mean to see it."
Arya looked at Ryan with an exceptionally gentle gaze. It was because he was so familiar with Caspar
that he become so talkative and got along with Caspar comfortably.
Caspar stood up and checked the time, "It's noon. Ryan, how about going to eat something delicious
with me?"
"Wow, it's great..." But when he thought of something, he looked at Arya and asked, "Mommy, is that
okay?"
Arya nodded, "Of course."
Ryan jumped over happily. Bridget quickly grabbed him for fear that he might hit Arya's healing wound.
Ryan was unhappy when Bridget pulled him back, "Auntie, what are you doing? I want to talk to
mommy."
"Just say it. Why are you running so fast?" Bridget let go of her hand, "Walk over. Don't run."
Ryan pouted, "Okay, I see."
He walked towards Arya, "Mommy."
Ryan lay on the bed and acted coquettishly, "Mommy, you won't forbid me from seeing my younger
sister, right?"
Arya teased him and pretended to be deep in thought, "I have to think about this..."
"Mommy!" Ryan's expression changed and he looked angry with his eyes open.
Caspar came over to touch his hair and picked him up, "Your mommy's teasing you."
Ryan didn't believe it and wanted Arya to say it herself, "Really?"
"Yes." Arya nodded seriously.
Only then did Ryan happily wrap his arms around Caspar's neck, "We will bring back delicious food for
you."
After leaving the hospital, Caspar asked Ryan to sit in the back seat and fastened his seat belt. He
drove the car, "What do you want to eat?"
Ryan thought about it and found that he wanted to eat a lot, "I want soup dumplings with crab roe,
sweet and sour ribs, steamed eggs with minced meat, ice cream... Can I have them all?"
Caspar nodded, "OK, I will meet all your requirements."
Ryan said excitedly, "It's been a long time since I had a meal with you."
Soon, Caspar parked his car in a high-end restaurant. Ryan ordered many dishes, including desserts,
fruits, and staple food. At the meal, Ryan wanted to go to the toilet. Caspar wanted to send him there,
but Ryan refused, "The teacher said that I am already a big child. I have to do my own things. Uncle,
just wait for me here."
Ryan slid down his chair and ran towards the bathroom. He was a little anxious, so he ran fast and
didn't even look at the road ahead. Unluckily, he hit a woman coming towards him on the leg...
