Jasper sneered. "Is that what she told you?"
"Isn't it?" Arya was confused.
Jasper held the railing with both hands and looked into the distance. "Tell me, what's the matter with calling me?"
Arya looked at Jasper and hesitated. "You and Bridget might..."
"Who asked you to persuade me?" Jasper interrupted Arya.
Arya pursed her lips and looked at the distance as well. "No, I'm not here to persuade you. I hope you're happy. I hope you meet someone you like..."
Jasper was unable to see clearly his future. His world was not complete without her.
"Do you want me to marry her?" Jasper asked, but did not look at her.
Arya said what she thought honestly. "I hope you can accept her feelings, even if you try... Bridget..."
"Stop it. I understand what you mean. As you wish."
After that, Jasper turned and walked towards the car.
Arya stood still and did not look back.
Jasper didn't look back, either. It was just like their current relationship, getting further and further away.
After meeting Jasper that day, Arya never saw him again.
Time flew by and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Edward said that before Ryan had to take good care of his health before the operation. Edward prescribed medicine and said that Ryan had to take the medicine for two months before the operation. Arya spent most of her time taking care of Ryan at home. She didn't go to the company. If Orlando encounters something difficult to handle, he would go to Xavier for help.
She didn't need to care about the work.
On the weekend, Ryan watched the show of the underwater world program and asked Arya to take him to the aquarium.
Arya couldn't help but agree. Thinking that when Madam Swift and her family returned to the Aqua Village, she didn't send them off. So she said to Ryan, "I'll take you to a place where you can see real sea fish, okay?"
Ryan was excited. "Where is it? I'll get there."
Arya touched his head. "You'll know where it is."
She picked up Ryan and said to Nanny Joy, "We won't be back at noon. Don't prepare our lunch."
Nanny Joy nodded. "Goodbye, Ryan."
Ryan lay on Arya's shoulder and waved to Nanny Joy.
Arya put Ryan in the child's safety chair, fastened his seat belt, sat in the driver's seat, started the car and left.
Arya didn't go directly to the Aqua Village, but the Jones Group. She parked the car in the parking lot. When she was about to get off the car, she remembered that she and Xavier were secretly married. It would definitely make people gossip if she brought Ryan into the company.
So she closed the door, picked up her phone, and was about to call Xavier to tell him that she was going to the Aqua Village.
When she dialed the number and waited, a car drove in next to her. Arya took a look, recognized that it was Xavier's car, and hung up the phone.
When Xavier drove in, he saw her car.
After getting out of the car, Xavier walked towards her and opened her door. "Why are you here? Why don't you go in?"
Arya looked at him. He had been very busy recently. He came back very late every day and looked tired.
"I won't go up. I just came by and told you... What are you doing?"
Arya pushed him. Before she could finish her sentence, Xavier bent over and unbuckled her seat belt.
When Xavier drove in, he saw that she was about to get out of the car but stopped and made a phone call instead.
He knew that she didn't want to go in because she was worried that they were secretly married.
Her prudent action made Xavier feel upset.
"Xavier..."
Xavier ignore her push and pulled her out of the car. Arya wanted to say something but was stopped when she looked at his overbearing expression.
"Dad."
Xavier took Ryan down, held Arya's hand, and walked to the company.
Arya struggled. "I can walk by myself."
"I like holding your hand." She was his woman. 'What is so embarrassing about her?'
"Xavier, have you ever thought about my situation? You said you didn't want me to be in the limelight. What good would it do me if you do it and it was spread in the company?"
If Daisy knew it, she would definitely be even more unhappy.
Daisy already disliked her. The news would make Daisy hate her even more.
