The lights in the room were on, illuminating everything as if it was daytime.
There was a man standing in the living room. When he heard the door open, he turned around and saw Arya coming in from outside.
Seeing the person standing in the living room, Arya was stunned. "Why are you here?"
"I am here to tell you that I want to take Nanny Joy home for a few days and send her back after the New Year. She doesn't want to. I'm trying to persuade her."
Arya looked out. With the light in the room, she saw that Jacob's car was parked outside.
"Nanny Joy, just go. It's New Year. Few people will come here during the new year. It's okay for you to leave for a few days." Arya changed her shoes and walked in.
She went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and asked Jacob, "What do you want to drink?"
Jacob refused it.
"Why don't you come to my house too?" Jacob said kindly. Mr. Jones and Bridget were back, especially Bridget, who hadn't been back for a year. Xavier must have had no time to come to the villa recently.
If Nanny Joy left, she would be the only one in the villa.
The Harrison Family probably wouldn't allow her in.
Arya shook her head and pretended to be casual. "I can keep myself alive."
Although they are relatives, Nanny Joy didn't want to disturb him all the time. So she had been used to being alone all these years.
She thought it was good to be here. She and Arya could be each other's company.
"You came so late, did you eat dinner?" Nanny Joy asked Arya.
Arya said she had eaten, being afraid that her stomach would be uncomfortable if not eat.
Nanny Joy was determined. If she didn't want to go, Jacob could do nothing.
Jacob could only obey Nanny Joy. Seeing that Arya was not in a good mood, he said, "Actually, the boss is really good to you, but he just can't come over with the New Year around the corner."
Arya raised her eyebrows. 'Did I show everything on my face?'
She couldn't help but reach out and touch her own face.
Jacob smiled, "The boss has never been so caring before, even for Harriet."
Because of her, Xavier did a lot of things behind her back. Besides Marshal's case, there was an issue with Sunny.
Without Xavier's efforts behind, how could the trial video that day be uploaded to the internet?
How could a one-sided public opinion cause such a big sensation without manipulation?
After all, didn't he do all these for Arya?
Sunny took the blame for Arya. Xavier was grateful for this. Otherwise, if this happened to Arya, he probably would go crazy.
So Xavier was willing to do something for this unfortunate woman so that she could have a clean reputation after death.
'Really?' Arya clenched the glass in her hand and asked herself if Xavier was treating her well.
He did treat her well if he wasn't angry.
But it didn't change their relationship.
From the beginning, it was wrong. They each had their own purpose, and they were destined to have no future.
And she had promised Jasper, so she could not let Jasper down.
After Jacob left, Arya stayed alone in the living room for a long time, but she did not receive Xavier's call during the waiting.
There were times when she wanted to call him, but she held back. She had no good reason.
The next day, she met Jasper. And Jasper took her to see his parents.
Arya was afraid because she knew in her heart how much Jasper's parents hate her.
But it was Jasper, whom she couldn't refuse.
Jasper also knew that Arya agreed to do this not because she loved him but she was grateful to him. However, he didn't want to wait. Even if she was just grateful, he wanted this woman.
He would never forget the helpless and sad look of her standing at the window to hold the rain because of the loss of her child.
Sometimes love began at a certain moment but could be engrained in one's memory.
When they reached, Jasper pulled Arya into the courtyard. Before they entered, she could hear the laugh and a clear voice. It was a girl.
Jasper was stunned. 'Is there anyone else at home? A woman? Who could it be?'
