Daisy turned her head away from looking at Harriet. Daisy had never wanted to break off the marriage. It was the trouble they caused that made her change her mind.
"If you withdraw the marriage now, outsiders will definitely say that you are heartless and abandon us when we are in trouble." Estella had to lower her voice. Marshal had not been rescued, so Harriet could not lose Xavier now.
Otherwise, the Harrison Family would be over.
Daisy didn't think of this. She was very angry just now.
Now, she was in a dilemma about this marriage.
When the Harrison Family was in trouble, withdrawing their marriage would indeed bring about complaints about the Jones Family.
Daisy felt that if this woman really became her daughter-in-law, she must be unhappy and dissatisfied.
"Breaking up is normal. Harriet has been engaged to Xavier for four years and how much did your Harrison Family get from us?" Daisy saw through the nature of the Harrison Family.
Whether the marriage was withdrawn or not, she had to let Estella and Harriet know that the Jones Family never owed them anything. Instead, they gained a lot of benefits from the Jones Family.
When Marshal got into trouble, the Harrison Family would turn to the Jones Family for help.
"I am wrong. I won't ask Xavier for helping Marshal!" Harriet was really afraid that the marriage would be ruined, and that Xavier really didn't want to marry her.
Daisy seemed very indifferent to them after finishing her remark.
Harriet knelt down in front of Xavier and grabbed his hand. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said in a constricted voice. "Xavier, even if I have made many mistakes, have I ever done anything wrong to you? Is it wrong to love you?"
In the past, Xavier would have been moved by her affections.
But now he thought that she had other purposes.
Xavier reached out and wiped away the tears on her face. He gently brushed her eyes and brows. Arya's eyes flashed across his mind, and his eyes became more gentle. "It was never your fault, but mine. I shouldn't treat you as my true love because of an accident."
Arya shook her head desperately and held Xavier's hand tightly. She almost lost control and shouted, "No, you love me. You treat me well and give me things..."
"That's not love!" It was just because he wanted to take the blame for the accident that night.
He forced himself to fall in love with Harriet, but after four years, he failed.
Even if they were married, they would not be happy. He could not waste each other's time to seek happiness for the so-called responsibility.
"Even if it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't marry you." After saying that, Xavier stood up, unwilling to talk more about it.
But Harriet refused to let him go. She hugged Xavier's leg. "No, did Arya say something bad about me to you? She lied to you. She wanted you to leave me. She's a liar!"
Xavier lowered his head and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground. Suddenly, he sneered. He was mocking himself.
He had always felt that this woman in front of him had no flaws. He just could not love her.
It seemed not now.
She wasn't as innocent as she used to be.
"Go back and calm down before we talk!" Xavier didn't want to say a word to Harriet now.
He called someone to send them off.
Harriet was reluctant to leave. Estella regained her composure and was afraid that Harriet was too excited and would say something she shouldn't say, so she pulled Harriet up from the ground and said to Xavier. "I'll talk to her when I get back. You should calm down. After all, she has nothing to do with Marshal. You must have feelings for her all these years."
"Send the guests out!" Xavier hated Estella the most.
He didn't want to take a look at Estella.
Nanny May, the Jones Family's old servant, helped Estella hold Harriet out.
