"Close the door. I don't want to hear about her anymore!" Xavier was impatient.
'She has nothing to do with me!'
"OK…" Jacob left and closed the door.
Jacob wiped the sweats off his forehead. He had thought that Xavier would vent his anger on him.
In the office, Xavier picked up the document again, but he couldn't focus on it. He kept thinking of Jacob's words. He was so angry as to put down the document. He sneered, "She's really ambitious, huh?"
He rested on the desk with his arms and pressed his brows. 'I will never forgive her.'
Arya was right. He did mind that Arya was not a virgin. He just deliberately ignored it.
Sometimes what annoyed you would just appear in front of you.
Just like now. Xavier didn't want to see Arya, but he happened to meet her.
She brought Ryan out for dinner. Ryan liked the steamed egg custard with minced pork the most in the shop.
Today, Ryan wore a gray woolen coat, a red woolen sweater, a plaid shirt, and a bow-tie at the collar, looking like a gentleman. It was warm, so he didn't wear a hat. His hair was a little yellow, and his eyebrows were covered with bangs. He had bright eyes. He was talking with Arya happily.
Arya smiled sincerely. Xavier had never seen her like this before.
It turned out that she could smile at others simply without any disguise.
Xavier glanced at them from time to time.
"Arya, if only we could live with Caspar," Ryan said suddenly.
Arya was stunned and then looked at Ryan seriously. "Why do you say it?"
Ryan blinked and smiled. "Because we're like a family. Everyone else has their parents… If I have you guys accompany me, others will think that I have parents."
Arya covered her mouth. Her chest ached. She hoarsely said, "Do you want parents?"
"Of course!" Ryan answered without hesitation. He was envious when seeing others walking and having fun in the park.
He imagined the days spent with Caspar, but he couldn't say it.
Those who did not grow up with their parents would be much more mature than their peers.
"If I…"
"Eh?"
Just as Arya was about to test whether he would accept it if she told him the truth, Ryan looked behind Arya with his eyes wide open. Arya looked back, only to see Xavier.
'Why is he here?'
Arya subconsciously wanted to hug Ryan. Ryan had met Xavier before and was close to him. He greeted, "Are you here for dinner too?"
