But then Arya's phone rang.
Her phone was on the bedside table. Bridget glanced at it, picked it up, and handed it to Arya. She saw the name on the screen and knew who called.
She whispered to Arya, "I'll go back to sleep now."
Arya nodded at her.
Bridget closed the door gently and stood at the door without leaving immediately.
She was thinking about what Arya had just said. She thought her words made sense. 'If Arya is that bad, why would brother and mother accept her and treat her so well? Maybe she really has some merits.'
Bridget took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Harriet seemed to be waiting for Bridget. As soon as she came out of Arya's room, Harriet immediately came over.
"Bridget." Harriet greeted her intimately.
Bridget looked at her quietly for a few seconds before speaking slowly, "Can we talk?"
Harriet lowered her head slightly, hid her emotion, and nodded.
Bridget led her into the room, "Take a seat."
As soon as Harriet sat down, Bridget couldn't wait to ask, "What happened to you and my sister-in-law in the living room today?"
After talking to Arya again, she didn't think that Arya was looking for trouble on purpose.
She stared at Harriet, feeling that she didn't know her anymore.
"I already told you." Harriet also looked at Bridget, yet her hand involuntarily tightened. 'Is Bridget questioning me?'
'What right does she have?!'
"Bridget, don't you trust me?" Harriet asked tentatively. 'Didn't Bridget hate Arya before? Why does her attitude change now?'
"Don't forget, Bridget, you suffered because of her!"
Harriet was a little uneasy. 'Is Bridget going to take Arya's side now?'
"Bridget, did she say something to you? You can't believe her!"
"I trust my brother." That day in the backyard, Xavier didn't say much, but she knew that he still cared about her.
Ever since she was 15 years old, Xavier had never had a private talk with her. That night, he came to her. She was a little surprised. After hearing his words, she knew that he was helpless at that time. He wanted her to get along well with Arya.
Because she was his sister and Arya was his wife, he cared about both of them.
That's why he talked to her alone.
After Xavier left, Bridget sat in the backyard for a long time and remembered a lot about her childhood.
Her brother still cared about her, but they had all grown up.
Xavier became mature and restrained and had his own family.
She didn't know what happened between Harriet and Xavier in the study.
However, she believed that Xavier wouldn't have anything to do with Harriet!
"Since you don't believe me, why do still you ask me?!" Harriet stood up from the sofa.
She was obviously angry.
Harriet stared at Bridget with an injured look. "Okay, I understand now. After all, Arya is your sister-in-law now. I understand very well that I am an outsider here. I deserve it..."
Bridget frowned and explained, "That's not what I meant!"
Harriet sneered and knew that Bridget didn't trust her at all. 'What exactly did Arya say to her that made her change her attitude?'
"Didn't you hate your sister-in-law before? Why did you change your mind now because she said something nice to you, or what benefits she gave you?"
"She's my sister-in-law. As you said, we're a family..."
"You're a family, I am an outsider." Harriet slammed the door and left. Bridget was stunned and did not expect her to be this angry.
