"You said you wanted to visit him with me, but it was not at your convenience. Now he's here to see you." Xavier rubbed her cheek gently with his thumb. "Isn't that great?"
Arya moved her teary eyes. She choked up and somehow wanted to cry, replying in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
He wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. "All right, don't cry."
Having mixed feelings, Arya was not in the mood to flirt with Xavier. She pushed his hand away and said, "Go out first."
"OK."
Cullen was still outside. It was inappropriate for him to stay there for too long.
After Xavier left the room, Arya did not sit up immediately. Instead, she lied still, slowly calming herself down.
She could not tell whether she was excited or glad, but it was a strange and wonderful feeling.
The inexplicability excited and confused her. She felt at a loss.
Then, she threw back the covers and propped herself up from the bed. Nanny Joy came in and helped her. "Mr. Jones is talking outside. Let me help you wash your face."
Arya nodded.
In the bathroom, Arya washed her face with cold water, which refreshed her and got sleepiness out of her mind.
Next, she dried her face, tied her long hair behind her head, and checked how she looked in the mirror.
She wanted to show her good condition in front of Cullen. Without any words, he could know that she was going well.
"Haven't you finished?" Nanny Joy asked.
She had turned off the tap for a long time but still came out, which made Nanny Joy concerned.
Arya calmed down and opened the bathroom door. Nanny Joy held her and asked, "Are you going out? He has been waiting outside for a long time."
"A long time?"
"Yeah, up to two hours." Nanny Joy replied.
Looking at Nanny Joy, Arya asked. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Xavier let me not do so, saying that you need a good rest." Nanny Joy had no idea as well.
Arya held Nanny Joy's hand tightly. "Do I look well?"
"Yes, I've never seen anyone prettier than you." Nanny Joy replied without hesitation.
Arya's face was delicate and flawless even without any makeup. She was bright-eyed with good features. Her lips were light pink, with her long black hair tied behind her head. Without excessive makeup and dress, she was still a beauty, even prettier than those women with makeup.
Yesterday, Nanny Joy saw a woman with a big belly wearing bright red lipstick, which made her uncomfortable.
How could others be as beautiful as Arya?
Without makeup, she was still the most beautiful and outstanding.
Arya laughed out. In fact, she asked Nanny Joy if she looked well now.
But Nanny Joy seemed to have misunderstood.
But Arya didn't correct it. After this joke, she was a lot more relaxed.
They walked to the door and Nanny Joy pulled it...
Xavier was talking to Cullen in the living room.
Cullen looked paler than before. "There's never been any evidence. He did it in a secretive way..."
Seeing Arya coming out, Xavier called her to interrupt Cullen.
Cullen turned around and his expression changed the moment he caught sight of Arya. In the end, he looked calm, with his muddy eyes sparkled. "I'm here to see you..."
Xavier had already told him that Arya had already accepted what had happened,
