Click, the room suddenly lit up, and Arya saw his face clearly.
Xavier walked in and looked at his watch. It was past midnight. "Why are you still awake?"
"I just woke up." She didn't admit that she was in a mess and hadn't fallen asleep.
Xavier stared at her face for two seconds. There were no sleepy eyes to improve that she had just woken up. Her eyes were clear.
Xavier sat down by the bed, put her hand in his palm, and rubbed it. "You can't sleep because I am not here?"
Even if it was, Arya didn't want to admit it. She didn't want to admit that she had feelings for him.
She knew that there was a huge gap between her and him.
"You flatter yourself." Arya withdrew her hand and lay down on the bed, covering herself with the quilt. She didn't dare to look at him and pretended to be sleepy.
Looking at her flustered eyes, Xavier smiled. He liked her being like this.
She was like a young girl who was in love for the first time. She didn't dare to admit that she was in love.
Xavier tucked her in, got up, took off his clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a bath.
After the bath, he saw Arya sleeping next to the edge of the bed.
She left almost the entire bed for him. Xavier lay down, stretched out his long arm to hold her in his arms. Arya didn't want to. The moment she started to struggle, Xavier hugged her even tighter.
"Well, be good. I can't control myself." This sentence was a complete warning. If she kept moving, she couldn't blame him for what he did.
Arya didn't dare to move, but she couldn't sleep for a moment. Thinking of Nanny Joy's words, she asked about how Daisy was doing.
Xavier rubbed Arya's arm with his hand. "Her bone got hurt. She has to recuperate for a while."
Thinking of Daisy's attitude today, Xavier turned around in frustration.
Arya thought he was in a bad mood because of Daisy's injury and threw herself into his arms. "Don't worry."
Xavier lowered his head and looked at her face through the moonlight. He moved his lips but did not ask.
He wanted to know her past, but when he thought about how many men had appeared in her life before him, he lost his courage.
He laughed at himself. 'When did I become so timid?'
"You..."
"Shh!" Xavier interrupted Arya and turned around to hold her in his arms again. "A good girl should be nicer to me."
Then she could capture his heart so tightly that he could even marry her without caring about her past.
Arya didn't understand what he meant, just quietly nestled in his arms.
Arya slept soundly that night. When she woke up, Xavier had already left.
He was really busy. There were a lot of things to deal with at the end of the year, and Daisy was injured. Although there were servants to take care of her, he had to always drop by.
Arya was a little disappointed that she didn't see him when she woke up.
She got up to wash up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
Nanny Joy had already prepared breakfast. Seeing her come down, she asked, "Do you want to eat now?"
Arya nodded, "I'm a little hungry."
Nanny Joy brought breakfast to the table. Arya sat down at the table, looked at the sumptuous breakfast, looked at Nanny Joy, and asked, "Did he eat when he left?"
"No, he just drank a cup of black coffee and said it could refresh." Nanny Joy sighed slightly. As expected, the money of the rich did not grow on the tree.
But she thought health was more important. Why did someone need so much money without a healthy body?
"You should remind him since you are with him."
Nanny Joy was out of good intention. With her relationship with Jacob, she took care of Xavier's daily life.
Arya nodded and said, "I'll try."
She felt that she wasn't that important that could ask Xavier to change his habits.
It was sunny today, and the snow was melting and dripping. She didn't go out and stayed at home after breakfast.
Sitting on the balcony, bathing in the sun, she felt warm.
At noon, Caspar called her to watch the news today.
The video about Sunny and the details of the trial that day were posted online.
It clarified that Sunny was killed and jumped off the building because of public pressure.
It caused a lot of noise.
The people's attitude who had once cursed her changed to pity and scolded Marshal completely one-sided.
Many netizens commented that Marshal had to be sentenced to a heavy sentence.
