Chapter 299
Xavier stood there and looked at her.
All kinds of thoughts lingered in his mind, finally, he endured it and followed her out.
At night, Nanny Joy had already gone to bed, but Xavier had asked her to prepare some food material.
Xavier walked to the kitchen, washed his hands in the sink, and brought out what Nanny Joy had
prepared before.
Arya stood there, staring blankly at somewhere.
Xavier pulled her to the table and sat down.
Arya remained expressionless and silent. After drinking a bowl of soup, she stood up and turned to the
bedroom.
Arya didn't sleep that night, and neither did Xavier.
The news about Jasper spread all over the world. His parents also knew about it, and his Mom fainted
several times.
It was supposed to be a happy event, but it turned into a funeral. No one could stand it.
His parents came to Arya because they heard that it had something to do with her.
But Xavier's staff stopped them.
Arya locked herself in the room and behaved like she was another person.
Xavier didn't go to the company either, he also stayed at home for her.
At noon, the door of the room was knocked. Nanny Joy opened the door. It was Cullen.
Nanny Joy didn't know him, so she turned to Xavier and asked if he should come in.
Xavier didn't look well. He thought he came for Harriet, so he didn't even get up.
The Deputy pushed Cullen's wheelchair in.
"If you're here for Harriet, I'm sorry I can't agree." Xavier explained his attitude to avoid him from
mentioning it.
However, Cullen didn't come to her for this.
His expression was equally serious.
He took out a photo from the deputy and handed it to Xavier. It was a photo of Arya and Danielle. He
had never seen this photo before.
"The photo was found in Harrison's," Cullen said.
Xavier held the photo and looked at the person on it. Arya looked only a teenager at that time. The
person next to her should be her mother, but Arya never mentioned it to him.
Until this moment, Xavier understood
.
From the very beginning, she had never planned to tell him about her mother.
"What do you mean by showing me this?" Xavier's voice was a little cold.
Cullen didn't care and pointed to Danielle, "This woman is my son's first love."
Suddenly, Xavier looked up. 'What?'
"I was surprised too..." Cullen sighed slightly, "The last time I came here, I came to look for her, but
because I was in a hurry, I didn't go deep into it..."
It was all because of this that Harriet got a chance.
"Actually, I saw her that day, at her mother's grave." Cullen also just remembered that he had seen her
before. "I met her again this time, with a child..."
As he spoke, he glanced around the room. Except for Xavier, there was only Nanny Joy in the room.
He didn't see anyone he wanted to see.
Xavier's hands unconsciously tightened, even his knuckles turned white. After a moment, he put the
photo on the table and looked up.
"Where did you meet her again?"
Cullen replied that it was Eastlawn Cemetery, "Her mother's grave."
Xavier had almost guessed it in his heart, but he was still hoping that he was wrong.
She took Ryan there, but she never mentioned it to him.
She didn't recognize him as her husband?
Xavier wanted to relax his expression, but he couldn't act indifferent.
His Adam's apple slid slightly, "Are you sure this time?"
"I've found out, but I need your help." Cullen came straight to the point. All the evidence showed that
Arya was Danielle's daughter.
However, he still had to take the last step.
This time, he couldn't allow any mistakes.
"Please." Xavier said, trying to be calm.
"I need her DNA for final confirmation..."
Xavier was silent for two seconds. He nodded and agreed.
"Can I see her?"
"After everything is confirmed." Xavier refused decisively. He would not agree on no matter who he
wanted to see.
Cullen's expression changed and finally turned into a sigh. He thought that it wouldn't be long before he
could be sure, so he endured it.
After Cullen left, Xavier grabbed the cigarette on the table, put one into his mouth. His fingers trembled
slightly and lighted it after trying several times.
He sucked hard, trying to fill the hole in his heart.
But no, the hole was getting bigger and bigger, as if it could devour him.
He pressed the cigarette into the ashtray, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom. Arya was sitting
on the balcony with the curtains closed. Ryan was playing with toys at her feet. Arya watched quietly,
occasionally reaching out to touch Ryan, but she never said a word.
"Ryan, come here." Xavier called him.
Ryan slid down from the balcony and ran to Xavier with his short legs, looking up, "Yes?"
Xavier reached out to touch Ryan's face, eyes, nose. As he grew up, he looked more and more like
him, "Go to find Nanny."
Ryan didn't understand, "Didn't you ask me to spend more time with Mommy?"
Didn't he say that mommy was in a bad mood and needed him to accompany her? Why did he let him
go out now?
"I have something to say to your Mommy." Xavier pinched Ryan's cheek.
Ryan tilted his head and thought about it, then walked out of the bedroom with the toy in his arms.
The door in the room closed as if it had isolated all the trouble outside.
If Arya was really the granddaughter of Cullen, it would be good for Xavier. Because so that no one
would object to her entering the Jones Family.
However, at this moment, he was not happy at all.
Xavier walked up to Arya, his eyes followed her, and looked out the window.
For a long time...
"How long will you be like this?" He suppressed the waves in his heart and tried to ask gently.
Arya didn't understand. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her face towards him. Xavier was willing
to bear her sadness because of Jasper.
But he couldn't stand that she didn't recognize him.
"Arya, tell me, what do you think I am?"
His eyes were filled with disappointment, helplessness, and unprecedented tyranny.
Arya finally had an expression on her face. Her eyes blinked. What did she think of him?
Her love.
But there were so many gaps in this kind of love that even she was not sure if she could be with him for
the rest of her life.
"You are my love, but you never gave me a sense of security. No matter what I did, your family never
accepted me and recognized me. There is too much uncertainty about you and me, even our future. I'm
very tired." Arya reached out and covered his face, "Do you understand?"
Xavier was stunned.
"Xavier, let's call it an end." When she said this, her expression was extremely serious. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
How could her happiness be based on Jasper's death?
She let Jasper down before, and now he died to save her. Could she still stay with Xavier as if nothing
happened?
She couldn't.
Jasper's disappointed and eager eyes were always in her mind.
"I promised to be with him, but I... Let him down... He was going to get married, maybe he could live a
happy life, get married, and have children..."
But now there was nothing left, and so was he.
The man who had been silently guarding her for many years was gone.
She didn't want to cry, but her tears were like broken beads, rolling down one after another...
