At that time, Daisy turned around angrily and wanted to leave. But Mrs. Gates pressed her to stay.It was not easy for her to gain the upper hand, so she had to show off.

Daisy could not leave, which might make her look mean. No matter how angry she was, she had tokeep her dignified appearance and sit there to listen.

When she came out, Daisy was about to explode. When Daisy walked out of the mall, she walked sofast as she was so angry that she sprained her foot on the snowy footstep.

Xavier coughed unnaturally. “Did I provoke her?"

Daisy wasn't going to blame him. She said directly, "Do you think you're young? I'm asking youwhen you're going to get married. When you can let me have a grandson?”

Now Xavier understood Nanny May's tactful reminder.

Xavier pressed his temple. "What's so hard about getting married..."

"Don’t try to fool me again. Just give me a promise today. Are you going to get married or not?!"This time, Daisy was very tough.

Xavier knew that Daisy was really angry.

He looked at Daisy seriously. "Even if I want to get married, I have to replace a girlfriend first..."

"I've already asked around. Deputy Mr. Woody has a daughter. She is not married. Her familybackground is clean. I've seen that girl before. She's as pretty as Harriet."

Ever since Xavier wanted to cancel his marriage, Daisy began to replace a suitable marriage partner forhim.

Nothing was as important as his son's marriage.

He was not young.

Xavier smiled simperingly. "So you've arranged everything.”

"I'm serious!" Daisy couldn't stand Xavier's indifference.

And his indifference meant he was just dissatisfied.

"I'm serious, too. I am going to choose who to marry." Xavier was upset. He didn't want to talk toDaisy about this, but she was his mother.

No matter how unwilling he was, he had to listen patiently.

Daisy was immediately pissed off. Xavier took her hand and patted her. "Don't you just want agrandson?”

Daisy was stunned and looked at Xavier blankly. What did he mean?

"You know, I have another woman, she..."

"Pregnant?"

That was Daisy's first reaction.

Xavier glanced at Daisy unnaturally and thought for a moment. "Her family is not very good..."Daisy immediately stopped talking. After what happened to Harriet, she was really scared.

She was afraid of meeting such a strange family.

"I don't agree.” Without thinking, Daisy refused.

The saying that a burnt child dreads the fire was probably Daisy's current state of mind.

She always thought that even there was a good girl from a small family such as the Harrison Family,who could guarantee that her family would not be flippant and arrogant after their daughtermarried into a rich family?

Therefore, the other party must be a match in the family background

This time, she would never compromise and never listen to Xavier again.

Xavier just now wanted to test Daisy's attitude. He knew in his heart that Daisy would definitely notagree, but he didn't expect her to be so decisive.

"It's late. I'll come back tomorrow.” As he spoke, Xavier got up and walked out. He didn't want tocontinue discussing this topic. Obviously, if he was there, Daisy would continue.

Daisy didn't get the answer. She wasn't resigned. "Xavier..."

"Nanny May, take good care of my mom." Xavier deliberately interrupted Daisy.

Daisy was going to say more but was stopped by Nanny May again.

"Madam, you'd better take good care of yourself."

With Nanny May's help, Xavier left the ward smoothly.

"He's trying to piss me off!" Daisy pointed to the door. "Even you help him."

Nanny May poured Daisy a glass of water and sat down in a chair beside her. "Madam, can youpersuade the Young Master? You didn't succeed last time."

Daisy was speechless.

Nanny May continued, "He is your son. Don't you know his character?"

Daisy said hatefully, "I don't know whom he is like."

She asked him to join the army and follow in his father's footsteps.

But he didn't go. He chose the business.

When he was engaged to Harriet, she wanted him to marry the Taylor Family's daughter. But Xavierdidn't want to.

She could only listen to him.

"I don't know from whom his stubborn character was inherited. Is he still a child? He's in his thirties.I'm still worried about him." Daisy was still angry.

However, she agreed with Nanny May that if Xavier didn’t nod, no one would make himcompromise.

"Let it be. You can't control it. Maybe the Young Master hasn't met someone he likes yet.” NannyMay carried on persuading Daisy.

"You should get well now. Master and Miss will be back soon. When they know what happened...”At the thought of explaining to her husband about Xavier's withdraw, Daisy was worried.

"It's unnatural that we can have a good time during the Spring Festival!"

Nothing went well this year. Daisy looked up at Nanny May and said, "Accompany me to NanhuaTemple tomorrow.”

It was not that she was superstitious. She had to go to a temple to pray, hoping that everythingwould go well next year and Xavier could get married and have children.

"Well, Madam, let's go to bed first. It's getting late.” Nanny May helped Daisy to lie down.

Xavier left the ward and did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to the doctor's office to replaceout more about Daisy.

Daisy sprained her ankle and her bones were injured. Recovery would take at least a hundred days.It was no big deal. She just had to have a good rest.

Xavier left the hospital after knowing about Daisy's condition.

In the villa.

Nanny Joy went upstairs and told Arya, "Mr. Jones is out. He asked me to tell you to sleep first.Don't wait for him."

"I see. Why is he out so late?" Arya asked.

Nanny Joy repeated what Jacob said to Arya, "So he went to the hospital.”

Arya nodded and said to Nanny Joy, "You go to bed early too.”

Nanny Joy didn't leave.

"Anything else?" Looking at Nanny Joy's complicated expression, she asked.

"I heard from Jacob that Mr. Jones would cancel the marriage with Miss Harrison. He said that Mr.Jones was very firm."

In fact, Jacob deliberately wanted Arya to hear this.

Jacob and Xavier were not together for a day or two. He knew much about Xavier.

If Xavier really loved Harriet, he wouldn't have canceled his marriage because of Marshal

So, he didn't like her enough. But Jacob felt that there was a connection between Arya.

No matter what Arya thought of Xavier, he wanted her to know that Xavier would soon be single.Arya was stunned for a long time.

"Ma'am?" Nanny Joy saw that Arya was out of her mind and called out to her.

Soon, Arya came back to her senses. She forced a smile at Nanny Joy, "I'm fine. I'm just sleepy.”In fact, she was not sleepy at all.

Nanny Joy smiled and shut the door when leaving.

After Nanny Joy left, Arya sat in bed for a long time, feeling so complicated. She didn't even knowwhat was wrong with herself.

She lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling above, unable to fall asleep.

Nanny Joy's words filled her mind. Xavier and Harriet canceled their marriage.

“Because of what? Because of Marshal, or because of me?'

Soon, she rejected the latter reason.

"How could he cancel the wedding because of me?’ She heard that he and Harriet had beenengaged for four years. How could he have retreated because of her?

“Maybe it was Marshal who annoyed him?

She couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it. All she could think about was Xavier.Sometimes he was angry and sometimes gentle...

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Arya sat up.

Seeing the figure at the door, she tried to call his name, "Xavier?"
