Arya responded actively after a short surprise. She put her arms around his neck and took the initiative to make out with him...
She picked up Xavier's hand and placed it on her abdomen. She said in a very low voice. "Our child is here."
They've missed the time of Ryan's growth, so she hoped to be together with Xavier this time. She looked forward to the birth of their baby and watched the baby grow up.
Three-month pregnancy was not obvious. She could only feel a bulge on her stomach.
Xavier had no idea how to respond, with his hands being stiff. It was the first time that he had this feeling, and a sweetness gushed from inside.
Arya rested her head on his shoulder and felt somehow pleasant seeing him being nervous.
It was long before Xavier took it easy. His palm pressed against her abdomen and he could clearly feel her body temperature.
Xavier extended his hand and brushed her forehead and cheeks with his fingers. She was still very thin.
When he woke up, Jacob told him what had happened during this period of time.
He didn't expect Arya to guess his intention.
He didn't expect her to be so calm and strong.
She gave him a lot of feelings he had never known before. Her patience, her tenacity, her determination, and her smiles were so vivid and charming that he was deeply attracted.
Xavier leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Thank you."
Arya stayed lazily in his arms and looked up slightly at his face. "Why do you thank me?"
"... A lot of reasons."
Arya was equally serious and said, "I want to thank you too..."
'You didn't give up saving me when I was in danger. You risked your life protecting me.'
Xavier held her even more tightly...
In the evening, Daisy asked the servants to prepare a lot of dishes.
Arya pushed Xavier out. Ryan pounced on him and wanted Xavier to embrace him.
Xavier picked up Ryan and placed him on his lap.
"Dad, you're finally back." Ryan pressed closer to Xavier's body in his arms.
"Hmm? Why did you say that?"
"Mommy said it would take long for you to come back. I thought I would not see you for a long time."
Xavier rubbed his hair and Daisy came over to hold him. "I will take you to dinner."
The atmosphere at the table was subtly strange, with only the voices of Joshua and Ryan being heard.
Daisy was sullen and she made several attempts to speak but failed.
Arya found that Daisy had something in mind, and asked, "Mom, is anything wrong?"
Daisy glanced at Arya and finally looked at Xavier. After thinking for a few seconds, she said to Xavier, "Your father knows about what happened to Bridget, so he'll be back tomorrow."
They all knew that Henry was fond of Bridget.
Bridget followed Henry to the army when she was very little. Anyone in the army would suffer a lot.
In some aspects, Bridget fulfilled Henry's wish. She followed in her father's footsteps as a daughter. Bridget joined the army instead of Xavier.
Bridget was divorced and lost her baby. What's worse, she was mentally ill. Because of all the miseries, he got angry at Daisy on the phone.
This matter had been related to Arya to some extent and Xavier didn't tell Henry about what happened to him. He probably would be very angry when he came back to see the situation.
So, she was worried.
Xavier knew what Daisy was worried about. Whatever the case was, he would not allow any more grievances to Arya because of Bridget.
