The door of the study was closed. Arya glanced at it and then looked away.

Now she was almost sure what Jacob was talking about.

All she could do now was to wait patiently.

In the study, Xavier sat in front of the desk. He seemed to have the urge to smoke but see nocigarette on the table. Jacob, who was sensible, quickly took out the cigarette and lit one for him.Xavier took a deep pull on it and said, "Go ahead.”

"According to my investigation, it was a few punks under Eli who received tasks behind his back...”"Who's the employer?” Xavier emphasized this time.

Obviously, this was true.

It was unexpected.

Did they dare to do something to his woman?

Jacob lowered his head

"Say it!"

Xavier was really annoyed.

"It's Mrs. Harrison. She may have known your relationship with Arya, so... That's why she made thisdecision."

Xavier's face darkened.

It was not cold, but Jacob shivered.

He lowered his head and held his breath, afraid of offending the man in front of him.

After a long time, Xavier suppressed his anger and said, "Arrange a meeting with Eli for me.”"Yes, well... Arya is also a victim. If you're going to abandon her, you might as well give her morecompensation...”

"What are you talking about?" Xavier interrupted him.

What did he mean she was the victim?

Suddenly, Arya's words crossed Xavier's mind. "If they succeed, will you still want me?"

Xavier laughed out loud, his eyes cold and sinister. "Good for her. I thought Marshal was the onlyidiot in Harrison Family."

When he heard Jacob's words, he had the urge to tear Estella apart.

He even wanted to immediately cancel his engagement with Harriet and never see them again.

It was disgusting.

Jacob swallowed, not daring to utter a sound.

For a long time, Xavier could not calm down. His chest heaved rapidly in anger.

His face grew darker. It was terrifying. "Tell Eli, none of the people that day could escape!"

"Yes, I'll go right away." Jacob quickly left the study. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. It wastoo depressing.

He was afraid that Xavier would vent his anger on him.

In the dining room, Arya had already prepared breakfast. When she saw Jacob come out, shepretended not to know anything and said with a faint smile, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eattogether.”

Jacob looked up at Arya and felt a little unbearable.

A beautiful woman was ruined.

The thought of that made him angry.

Estella was too vicious.

He should have spoken ill of Harriet in front of his boss and ruined the marriage.

With such a vicious family, Harriet was no better. Such a person was not worthy to marry into theJones Family.

Looking at Jacob in a daze, Arya called, "Jacob?"

"Oh, I've already eaten. I have something else to do. Excuse me."

Jacob returned to his senses and replied.

Arya didn't force him and wanted to see him off.

How could Jacob accept that?

"No need, thanks..." he said.

"It's okay. I'll see you off."

Jacob glanced at her and did not refuse again. When he reached the door, he said, "Go backplease.”

Arya smiled faintly before closing the door and entering the house.

She turned around and saw Xavier standing behind her. She pretended to know nothing about itand said, "You must be hungry. Let's eat.”

Xavier fixed his eyes on her, his adam's apple rolling up and down.

Arya stepped forward and took him by the arm to the dining room. "Nothing is more importantthan to fill your stomach.”

In the dining room, Arya seated him on a chair and served him soup.

Xavier looked at her without taking the soup.

Arya held the bowl of soup.

He took it and put it on the table instead of drinking it.

He looked at her with burning eyes and said in a low voice, "Did they do something to you?"Arya dropped the spoon in her hand carelessly.

Bang! It shattered with a crash

Xavier's heart also broke into pieces with this spoon...

"No," answered Arya.

Arya looked up and said calmly, "No, Sunny pretended to be me to protect me..."

So it wasn't her who was the victim.

In an instant, he was relieved. He didn't know that he cared so much about this woman.

If her answer was yes,

He didn't want to let go.

Seeing her now, he felt a sense of recovery.

He got up and walked around the table, hugging her from behind tightly, as if he wanted to rub herinto his body before he could stop.

Arya was motionless. She lowered her eyes and said, "I'm self-aware. If you're in a difficult situation,I won't force you. I'm just your thing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xavier covered her mouth. "Don't talk nonsense!”

Arya turned around to hug him, sobbing. "If it weren't for Sunny..."

This time, her words were still not finished, and Xavier stopped her again.

But this time he stopped her with a kiss.

His kiss was very deep. In the past, he was rude and barbaric when he kissed her.

This time, she felt his tenderness.

'Is it an illusion?"

'It must be.’

Xavier let go and stroked her rosy cheek. "Don't talk nonsense. If I hear it again, I won't spare you."Arya leaned into his arms and said nothing.

But she knew well that their relationship was not normal.

"Stay at home today. Have a good rest.”

"No, Sunny is alone. I'm worried..."

"I'll replace someone to take care of her, so you can stay at ease and wait for me to come back." Thistime, he spoke in a very stern tone.

Arya could only nod in agreement.

Only then did Xavier remembered that she hadn't eaten yet. He held her in his lap and fed her.Arya felt awkward.

But Xavier insisted on holding her. If she didn't eat, he wouldn't let her go.

The porridge in the bowl was getting less bit by bit.

“I'm full."

Arya stopped him when Xavier was about to continue feeding his bowl of porridge after shefinished it.

"Are you really full?"

Xavier raised his eyebrows.

Arya muttered, "I'm not a pig.”

Although she said in a low voice, Xavier still heard it. Regardless that the corners of her mouth werestill full of food after eating, he kissed her, and Arya pushed him and pouted, "Dirty."

"Not at all.”
