Ryan blinked and waved at Arya. "Mommy, come here."
Arya leaned over to him.
But Ryan didn't say anything. Arya was confused.
Looking back, she saw Ryan's small face crumpled up in a tangle. "If I tell you, dad will be angry."
'Is this child making fun of her?'
Arya reached out and pinched his soft little face. "Have a good meal now."
Ryan's lips pouted slightly, afraid that Arya would be angry, so he ate the rice she fed.
At night, Xavier didn't come back. After feeding Ryan, Arya took him to take a shower.
Ryan pestered Arya. "Mommy, I like it now. I have a father, grandparents... and an aunt."
Arya touched his little nose. "I see."
She understood what Ryan meant. He liked this kind of life, like a normal family.
He had everything that others had.
After the shower, Arya hugged Ryan and put him down for a nap.
Ryan couldn't sleep. He pestered Arya, talked, and asked a lot of questions.
It was late at night and he fell asleep.
Arya couldn't sleep. She leaned over and patted Ryan on the back...
However, at this moment, the door opened. Arya looked at the door through the moonlight.
Xavier was afraid of disturbing them, so he moved very gently. He met Arya's eyes and said softly, "Did I wake you up?"
Arya shook her head. "I wasn't asleep."
Xavier lay down beside her with his arms around her waist, looking tired.
"Is something wrong?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back so late.
Arya was worried about him.
Xavier turned over and pulled Arya into his arms. "I can handle it."
Someone in the company was making trouble. When he created the company, it was a shareholding company. Now that the company has been growing stronger, some people began to cause trouble.
The man secretly collected the shares, intending to wrest control of the company.
Xavier knew very well in his heart, so Arya stopped asking.
She lay peacefully in his arms. In the morning, they were woken up by the ringing of the cell phone.
It was Daisy who called. As soon as Xavier answered, Daisy's voice came over. "Xavier, hurry back..."
Xavier thought it was because Ryan didn't go back that she was unhappy, so he said "got it" and hung up.
"What's wrong?" Through the phone, Arya heard Daisy's crying voice.
"I'll go back and take a look." Xavier got up and put on his clothes.
Arya straightened his collar. "Hmm. You have a bad temper. Talk to them patiently."
Xavier grabbed her hand that was adjusting his collar and stared at her affectionately. At this moment, his heart was warm.
The woman in front of him was the woman he liked.
In the past, he never thought that he would have such a life. Even if he was willing to marry Harriet, he just thought that he should get married when he was old enough.
He thought he should live like a normal person. It had nothing to do with love. But it was different now.
It was a wonderful feeling.
Xavier took her hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Arya rolled her eyes at him. "Go wash up and hurry back."
Daisy was very anxious. Arya didn't know if something had happened.
Xavier wanted to say something else, but he swallowed it. "Well, don't go out. Wait for me to come back."
He would come back and get the marriage certificate for them.
Only when Arya agreed did Xavier leave.
