In the villa.
When Arya came back, Nanny Joy was playing with Ryan in the yard.
In the summer season, the flowers and trees looked lively, and the lawn looked even greener. The trees, which had been evergreen for all seasons, were even lusher.
Ryan seemed to be in a good mood. He hopped along the path made of slates, holding his favorite Transformer robot in his hand and fiddling with the toy.
Arya walked over, sat on the stone bench, and looked at Ryan.
At this moment, Nanny Joy came out of the house with the cut fruit and milk. She put the tray on the stone table and asked, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't Xavier come back with you?"
Arya's hand tightened slightly. "He's still busy. He's not back."
Nanny Joy understood. Looking at Ryan, who was playing, she smiled more brilliantly. "Do you think Ryan is a little different?"
Arya looked at Ryan. "You mean he's a little fatter?"
During this period of time, according to the nursing plan given by Edward, Ryan gained some weight, his small face was more round and exquisite, and his eyes were bright and colorful.
Nanny Joy shook her head. "I'm talking about his mental state. This is what normal children should have."
Arya understood what Nanny Joy meant. It was also her original intention to give Ryan a complete home.
She hope he could be happy and grew up like a normal child.
Xavier's attitude today made her lose her way for a while.
"Mommy." Ryan ran over and threw himself into Arya's arms. Arya opened her arms, held Ryan in her arms, and wiped his forehead. "Look at you. Your head is sweating."
Ryan laughed. "Mommy, are you taking me out to play?"
Arya scratched his little nose. "Where do you want to play again?"
"Wherever we go, you have to drink the milk first." Nanny Joy interrupted their conversation and handed him the milk.
Ryan pouted. "Nanny Joy, can I not drink today?"
Nanny Joy looked serious and shook her head. "No, you have to drink."
Ryan looked at Arya with a bitter face and asked for help. Arya was equally serious. "You have to listen to Nanny Joy. It's useless to look at me. I won't let you be willful."
Ryan hung his head dejectedly and pestered Nanny Joy. "Nanny Joy, look at me. I'm fat and taller. I won't drink it just for today."
"That won't do."
"Nanny Joy, why are you so stubborn?"
Ryan kept talking. Arya looked at him and could not help but smile.
A text message sounded from her phone in her pocket. Arya took out her phone and saw that it was Xavier's number. The smile on her face slowly disappeared. She clicked on the text message: something's up. Go back later.
Arya looked down at the simple words, considering the reason why he didn't come back.
'Does he really have something to do, or is it because of what happened at the house of the Jones Family today that he wouldn't come back?
Arya was confused.
Ryan was obedient and drank the milk. He said, "Hey, I can't do anything about you. You're so willful."
Nanny Joy smiled. "Who's so willful?"
Ryan smiled and turned to look at Arya. "Mommy, aren't you happy?"
Arya put her phone away and forced a smile. "Aren't you going out to play? Mommy will take you to the company, okay?"
Ryan sighed slightly. "Well, it's better than staying at home."
Arya pinched his face.
Arya did not know when Xavier would come back. She would think nonsense if she stayed at home, and she had not been to the company for a long time, so she took advantage of the chance to take a look.
When Arya appeared at the company, Orlando was surprised and teased, "Shouldn't you be a rich wife at home? Why are you going out?"
Arya was not in the mood to joke with him today. She pursed his lips. "Let me take a look at the company's recent business."
Orlando raised his eyebrows slightly. He realized that she was in a bad mood. He was no longer smiling. He straightened his face. "I'll bring it to you."
Arya took Ryan to the office and found traces of someone using the desk, with items that didn't belong to her.
