The woman in the mirror was pale, and a thick layer of moisture was brewing in her eyes.
She wiped away the tears in her eyes and washed herself up. Then she walked out, poured a glass of water, and walked back to the dining room. To pretend that she was fine, she smiled and asked Ryan, "Do you want some water?"
Ryan shook his head.
No matter how well Arya pretended, at this time, it was still obvious that she was not fine. Daisy had not much composure as Arya did and couldn't hold back her tears.
She covered her mouth and walked out of the dining room.
No one at the table had an appetite. Mr. Jones sighed and stood up. "I'll go and see her."
Hardly anyone ate the meal.
Ramona was crying in the room. Just as Nanny May wanted to go, Arya stood up. "I'll go. You take care of Ryan."
Arya walked into the room to pick Ramona up and kiss her face. "Are you hungry?"
When Arya picked her up, she stopped crying and lay quietly in Arya's arms.
Arya just held her and stood in front of the window, shaking her gently.
Upstairs, Mr. Jones stood in front of the window, and Daisy was sitting by the bed weeping.
"Can't you bear it in front of them?" Mr. Jones's voice was very soft, looking tired.
Daisy wiped her face. "I don't want to either. I can't help it..."
Originally, everyone was upset. Nobody could eat after she cried.
"Tidy yourself up quickly. Ryan is still downstairs." Mr. Jones turned around and went downstairs.
After all, he was a man and had to stay calm, even though he felt as uncomfortable as Daisy.
After a long time, Daisy cleaned up and walked downstairs. Bridget and Mr. Jones were painting with Ryan in the living room.
Bridget's eyes were also red as if she had cried.
Daisy walked over and patted Bridget on the shoulder. "Go and see Arya."
Bridget stood up and said yes.
She knocked gently on the door. When she heard the words coming in, she pushed the door open and went in.
Seeing that Arya was still holding Ramona, she asked, "Haven't she slept yet?"
Arya shook her head. "No, she didn't sleep in my arms. But if I put her down, she would cry."
Bridget walked over and reached out to touch Ramona's face. "She looks like you, while Ryan looks like my brother."
Arya's eyelids drooped gently, covering her thoughts.
Bridget realized that she might have said something wrong and deliberately changed the subject. "Are you busy in the company? Do you want me to help you? Although I don't know much about it, I can learn to share your burden."
Arya looked at her. "It's okay. No need. Jacob can help."
Bridget nodded.
They fell into silence again.
Suddenly, Bridget said, "Arya, how many men do you think don't mind that his lover isn't a virgin?"
Arya was stunned for a moment before she understood what she meant.
"You... You kept rejecting Edward because of you..."
