Bridget's face grew solemn. "This is Jasper's child."
Ah?
Daisy was startled.
"Jasper's child?"
She looked at Arya in disbelief.
Arya nodded and gave her an answer. "What Bridget said is true. Jasper... is gone. The mother of the child wants to have a new life, so she asked me to take care of the child."
As she spoke, she looked at Daisy and Mr. Jones seriously. "Dad, mom, I hope you agree. Jasper's death has something to do with me... I think I should take good care of his son. I hope you understand."
Daisy heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't Xavier's child, she was okay with that.
"Our family can afford one more child. Do as you wish." Daisy sat down and looked at Mr. Jones. "Life with a child at home is more interesting, right?"
Mr. Jones nodded in agreement.
In fact, he didn't like that kind of life. It was enough for him to have Ryan and Ramona. If there were one more child, he wished that would be Xavier and Arya's child.
But he didn't want to decline Arya.
From Xavier's accident to now, Arya's reaction surprised him. Although she and Jacob kept it a secret about the plane accident, he knew something. It was not an accident.
Although he was not in power, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything about it. He was both surprised and moved that Arya hid it from everyone and didn't let them worry.
Therefore, he accepted her from the bottom of his heart.
He was even willing to treat her the way he treated Bridget.
He would give Arya a father's love for his daughter.
Not to mention that she was from the Porter Family.
"Thank you." Arya was very happy to get their permission.
"You're welcome. After all, we are family. Come in and have dinner."
He did not go to see the child in Bridget's arms.
He gave all his love to Ryan and Ramona, and nothing left to someone else.
He would show that child kindness, at most.
Daisy came over to take a look. The child was still very young. She could not tell if the child looked like Jasper.
When her gaze landed on Bridget's face, her expression became complicated. Considering that Bridget was already with Jacob, she thought Bridget likely had put down her past with Jasper.
She reached out to hold the child. "I'll hold him. You can go eat."
"Let me do it." Arya held the child in Bridget's arms. "I had not bought some milk powder for the child. After Bridget has dinner, let's go to the mall together to buy some."
At this time, the child in her arms cried. With the previous experience of taking care of Ramona, Arya knew that such a young child either was hungry or peed therefore he cried. She carried him back to her room and saw Nanny Joy was holding Ramona. Seeing her enter, Ramona stared at her and then at the child.
Arya put the child on the bed, took off the diaper on his body. She found that it was not wet. She then changed a better breathable diaper for him. As she diapered, she talk to Nanny Joy, "If I'm not here, please pay more attention to the child."
Nanny Joy nodded, not asking much about the child.
Arya prepared some milk formula for Max so that the child would not starve before she went to the mall.
After drinking some milk, the little guy stopped crying and sucked hard.
The little guy fell asleep as he drank the milk.
Arya picked him up and slightly patted his back, in case the child would vomit some milk.
After a while, the little guy fell asleep and Arya gently put him on the bed.
Bridget brought food for Arya. Arya tucked his baby in, took the milk from the tray, and put it back after drinking it.
Bridget blinked. "Aren't you going to eat something?"
Arya just had a glass of milk.
