As soon as he said that, Richard realized that he had said too much.
In Arya's eyes, this was an excuse.
'Died for love?'
'Ridiculous.'
Arya didn't want to say a word to Richard.
After leaving the coffee shop, Arya didn't want to go back, so she walked along the street alone, aimlessly...
After Henry left the hospital, he thought about it and didn't call Xavier. Instead, he went straight to the Jones Group.
At this point, he would definitely not go back even if he called him back.
The car stopped, Henry didn't get out immediately. He hadn't figured out what to say yet.
Xavier was especially stubborn. He didn't even come home this time. He silently protested against him to show his dissatisfaction. It would be difficult to ask him to take Arya back now.
The Deputy who had been in front of him looked back at him. "Do you want Madam to talk to him instead?"
After all, Daisy didn't do anything wrong. Even if Xavier was unhappy, he would still talk to Daisy.
Henry looked serious and disagreed with the deputy's proposal.
He came over personally to have a frank talk with Xavier.
"Wait down there. You don't have to go up with me."
Henry pushed the door open and got out of the car. He went up alone. Henry rarely came. A few people who knew him saw him and greeted him respectfully.
He rarely laughed. Being in the army all year round made him look especially serious.
Xavier was about to go to a meeting when he met Henry from the corridor.
"Come with me." Henry walked towards the office.
Xavier handed the file to Jacob. "You preside over the meeting."
Then he walked towards the office.
Xavier pushed the door open and saw Henry standing in front of the french window with his hands behind his back and his back to the door.
Xavier's eyes lingered on him for a few seconds. He was no longer the tall and burly soldier in his mind. Before he knew it, he already had white hair. He was old, and he was old enough to retire.
"When you were young, I was in the army. Your mother took care of our family and you. Now that I think about it, I wasn't there for you and I felt sorry about that." He turned around and said, "You're my son. I have high hopes for you. Although you didn't follow my path as I wanted, you didn't disappoint me."
Xavier took off his tie and threw it on the desk, "So, what do you want to tell me?"
"Harriet got hit. She said it was..."
"Arya." Xavier said the name for Henry.
He knew that he would never come if nothing happened.
He was also extremely stubborn. He only came because that he was old and weak now. If he were young, he wouldn't have come.
When he didn't agree to go to the army, how long had he been angry with him?
"The old chief is here. He wants to see her." When the conversation started, Henry was ready to speak.
"When?" Xavier asked.
"Tomorrow." Henry said.
"Okay." Xavier agreed without thinking.
Even Henry was surprised. 'He agreed just like that?'
It didn't seem like him.
"I still have a meeting to attend. If it's okay, you can go back now."
Henry always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was good that he agreed.
Just as Henry opened the door and was about to leave... Xavier stopped him.
"Dad."
Henry's hand paused and did not turn back, but he knew Xavier had something to say.
Xavier took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he took a deep breath. The white smoke spread around his lips, making his face shrouded in a white mist. It was hard to see his expression at this moment, "If I can't even protect my wife and children, am I still worthy to be your son?"
Henry was speechless.
