Bridget raised her chin, "This is a private conversation."
She had helped him so much. She just wanted to talk with his wife.
Arya wanted to get along with his family. Since Bridget tried to be nice to her, she didn't want to disappoint her.
So she said to Xavier, "Leave us alone for a while."
Ryan blinked, looked at Arya, and then his eyes fell on Bridget. "May I stay here?" he asked.
Ryan's words were to Xavier liking, and in this way, he could ask Ryan what they said later.
Bridget refused decisively, "No, be good. I will take you out later."
Hearing Bridget's words, Xavier didn't want to leave anymore. He was curious as to what they are going to talk about behind his back.
Bridget knew that instead of persuading Xavier to leave, she might as well talk to Arya. She shook Arya's arm and said in a sweet tone, " Arya, look at my brother. I just want to be alone with you for a while. But he wants to frustrate my efforts."
Arya had no choice but to look at Xavier with meaningful eyes. She seemed. "Don't put me in a dilemma."
Xavier had no choice but to hold Ryan out. At this time, he hoped that Arya could become part of the family. After Xavier went out, Bridget quickly closed the door and locked it.
Even so, Bridget was worried. She took Arya into the bedroom. Arya couldn't help but wonder, "What's it?"
Bridget smiled awkwardly.
Without urging Bridget to give her an answer, Arya waited patiently for her to speak. Bridget hesitated for a while before gathering up her courage. "Arya, can you ask Jasper out for me?"
Bridget didn't say it in the presence of Xavier because she was afraid that he would say no.
Arya didn't expect Bridget to say so. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer Bridget.
The last time she saw her at the Clinton Family, Arya knew that Bridget had a crush on Jasper.
She was willing to do it for Bridget, but her relationship with Jasper was weird. It wasn't proper to see him at this time.
Xavier would be angry if he knew.
Seeing that Arya was silent, Bridget pulled her arm. "Arya, don't you want to help me? I'm not sure whether he will see me if I ask him out. That's why I ask you for help."
Arya didn't want to let Bridget down as this was the first time Bridget asked her for help. If she refused, they would definitely not be able to get along well. "Okay, I'll try," said Arya after thinking for a while.
Bridget was delighted to get the answer she wanted. "Arya, let's go down."
Arya replied in a soft voice and went downstairs with her.
Lunch was already prepared in the dining room downstairs, and everyone was in the living room, waiting for them to come down for lunch.
Daisy had told Mr. Jones the situation. Mr. Jones was aware of Xavier's character, knowing that this was probably the biggest concession that he could make. If he pushed him too hard and Xavier would not care what it took, it would not benefit anyone.
"Come sit here."
Although Daisy had not fully accepted it, she was willing to try.
Bridget held Ryan and let him sit with her. There were no children at home before. Suddenly, the atmosphere was very lively with a child.
Arya looked prim. After all, it was her first time here, and Xavier's family didn't welcome her very much.
Xavier held her sweaty hand because of nervousness. The back of her hand warmed up. Arya looked up and met his dark eyes as if they had some kind of magic power that could comfort her.
Arya gradually relaxed...
Mr. Jones had never expressed his opinion about Xavier and Arya's marriage. He felt that he was not in a position to meddle in his son's marriage. Xavier had never been a source of worry for him except for his marriage that disappointed him, but he let it go.
