"Don't you miss me?"
"The doctor said..."
"Trying to lie to me?"
He had been thinking about it for a long time, and he had specially looked up books on it. She was in a stable period for six months now. It would be fine as long as it wasn't too intense. Arya resisted a little. Nanny Joy and Ryan should be back soon.
"You don't want me?" Suddenly Xavier stared deeply into her eyes with his dark jewel-like eyes.
Arya knew that she might not be able to refuse this time and swallowed.
In Xavier's opinion, her silence was consent.
Xavier stroked her cheek and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you love me?"
How childish. Xavier had disdained such a question before, but now he wanted to hear the answer.
Arya's dazed eyes cleared up a little.
She asked herself, "Do you love this man in front of you?"
It should be love.
"Knock, knock..."
"Mommy, are you in there?"
Just as Xavier was about to take a step further, the door was knocked on. With Ryan's inquiry, Xavier's look changed. Just now, it was as soft as water, and now it gradually condensed into ice.
Arya completely regained her senses and pushed Xavier hard.
But Xavier was not reconciled. It was not easy to get her agreement.
Arya buttoned her collar and tidied up her wrinkled clothes. Xavier sat on the sofa and watched quietly. He thought to himself that he must have done terrible things in his previous life, so in this life, he was punished by God.
Ryan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Xavier there, he ran over with short legs, "Dad, you're back?"
The corner of Xavier's mouth twitched. Why wasn't the child good at observing others' expressions?
Ryan didn't understand. What was wrong with him?
He blinked his big eyes and looked at Arya, "Mommy."
Arya beckoned to him and asked, "Where have you been?"
"Nanny took me to the park. When I came back, you were sleeping. Then we went to the supermarket." Ryan secretly glanced at Xavier as he spoke, who looked unhappy.
Ryan frowned. He didn't seem to have provoked him recently.
He had been very obedient lately.
Xavier stood up and walked towards the bathroom, unbuttoning his shirt. He was so hot that he had to take a cold shower to relieve himself.
"Mommy, what's wrong with Dad?" Ryan asked in confusion.
Arya coughed lightly, with a little uncertainty in her eyes, and said, "I don't know."
"What did you buy at the supermarket?" Arya was afraid that Ryan would keep asking, so she deliberately changed the subject.
Ryan tilted his head and thought about it. There were a lot of things he couldn't finish. He held Arya's hand, "I'll show you."
