Chapter 169
Arya was not allowed to get out, so she could only stay in the villa. Xavier and Ryan didn't come back
at noon. Nanny Joy was making lunch.
Arya had nothing to do, so she helped Nanny Joy. When she saw the dregs of herbs in the trash can,
she asked, "Are you ill?"
Nanny Joy glanced at the trash can, shook her head, "Young Master has been suffering a headache for
nearly two months after you left, but he refused to treat it. Collins prescribed Mr. Jones this Chinese
medicine and asked me to put it in the soup."
This recipe was specially made by Edward. The taste was so bland that Xavier could hardly notice the
herbs at all.
Nanny Joy sighed. "No matter what happened between you and sir, for Ryan's sake, you should give This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
him a family. You know the importance of it for a child, right?"
Arya pursed her lips tightly. She knew how much Ryan wanted a family.
But she didn't know what to do.
Nanny Joy sighed slightly. Arya had to think about it herself, No one could make any decisions for her.
During lunch, Arya was not hungry. After a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.
"You should eat more."
Nanny Joy couldn't help saying. "You're so thin."
Nanny Joy put the chopsticks back into Arya's hand. "Eat more. Being healthy is important."
Arya could not refuse Nanny Joy's kindness and finished the meal though she was not in the mood the
enjoy the food.
It was dark but Xavier still didn't bring Ryan back. Arya became flustered.
She heard that Xavier would take Ryan for a checkup. but she was very worried because they still
didn't come back and afraid that Ryan's condition worsened.
Seeing Arya's worried expression, Nanny Joy comforted her, "They always come back late when they
go to Collins's place. Don't worry."
"Is that so?" Arya asked uncertainly.
Nanny Joy nodded affirmatively. "Yes, don't worry."
Arya didn't have dinner. Thinking that Nanny Joy would persuade her to eat something, she said she
was sleepy and stayed in the room, looking outside the window and waiting for Xavier to bring Ryan
back.
The car finally went back until late in the night. Arya stared at them until she saw Ryan getting out of
the car.
In order not to be noticed by Xavier, she went back to bed and pretended to be asleep.
After about half an hour, she heard footsteps, which made her heart beat faster and faster.
She was somehow flustered.
Because she was afraid that he would find out about her pretending to be asleep, or because she didn't
dare to face her vague feelings.
The door was pushed open, but the man didn't turn on the lights. There was only a ray of moonlight in
the room.
The sound of footsteps went away by the bed, and Arya grabbed the quilt tightly.
The other side of the bed sank, which made Arya even forget to breathe.
A broad palm grabbed her waist and turned her over.
Arya suppressed the emotions and pretended to be woken up by him. "What are you doing... Hmm..."
Before Arya could finish her sentence, Xavier blocked her lips and pressed her down so that she could
not move.
His kiss was domineering but gentle and affectionate.
Arya did not resist. She knew Xavier well. Even if she resisted, he would not stop. She didn't move,
looking indifferent.
Xavier stroked her cheek. "You want to leave me behind?"
Arya's heart sank but she pretended to be calm. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Xavier didn't bring her trick to light.
"We have a son. We've done everything that a husband and wife will do. Do you still think we're
strangers?"
In the moonlight, Xavier tried to see through her expression and her heart.
"What are you afraid of?"
Even in the dim light, Arya could not bear the gaze of Xavier.
She tilted her head, but Xavier did not let her do so. He held her face in both hands and looked straight
into his eyes. "Our son is sick, but my blood type doesn't match his..."
"Then what should we do?" Arya knew that she was impulsive to saying the words.
"We are here with him."
Then Xavier kissed her again.
The sudden kiss was like a storm that caught her off guard. She could only feel the fragrance from his
mouth. Her mind was blank, but she closed her eyes obediently and was enjoying the kiss.
She forgot to think and didn't want to think. She just instinctively held him tighter, tighter...
When Arya woke up, Xavier was no longer there. She threw back the quilt and got out of bed. When
she was about to go downstairs, she heard laughter.
She lifted the curtain and looked down from the window. She saw Xavier and Ryan were running in the
same sportswear. What a beautiful scene.
She couldn't hear what Xavier told Ryan, but she heard Ryan smiling very happily.
"Dad?" Ryan ran faster towards Xavier. "We'll live together in the future, won't we?"
"Yes." Xavier ran away after saying that.
"Dad."
Ryan stomped in anger.
Xavier didn't wait for him. He went back to the villa first. The route where they ran was built around the
villa, so he was not afraid that Ryan could find the way home.
Xavier went up to the second floor.
Arya had just put on her clothes when Xavier come in. She looked behind him. "Where's Ryan?"
Xavier hugged her and complained, "You only care about your son?"
Arya pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Xavier."
"Yes."
She really wanted to know what Xavier was thinking about. She wanted to know her place in his mind,
so she asked, "You become my husband because of Ryan..."
"Woo... Mommy!"
Ryan ran inside and grumbled. "Dad bullied me."
Seeing Ryan's aggrieved look, Arya pushed Xavier away, held Ryan in her arms and wiped his tears.
She kissed him on the cheek. "What's up?"
Ryan held Arya's neck tightly. "Mommy, do you love me or daddy?"
Arya immediately answered him, "Of course I love you. You're mine. No one can replace you in my
mind."
Ryan was not only her child but also the most important existence in her life.
She would never forget the feeling when she found him.
Ryan sniffed. "Mommy, I'm hungry."
Arya carried him downstairs and left Xavier behind.
Ryan's chin rested on Arya's shoulder and he was making a face at Xavier.
He seemed to be saying that since Xavier bullied him, he would take Arya away.
Xavier frowned. The kid stole Arya from him.
Xavier really wanted to take Ryan out of Arya's arms, but he knew that Arya would definitely be
unhappy.
So he went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
During the meal, Xavier showed concern for Ryan. He put the poached eggs on Ryan's plate, "Eat
more so you can run with us tomorrow. Edward has said that you have to run three laps tomorrow."
"But I remember I am supposed to run one lap?" Ryan was shocked.
"Didn't Edward say that you're not in good health and need to exercise more?"
Indeed. Ryan had been running every day for the past month. Edward said that he was not strong
enough and he had to exercise more, which would be good for his surgery next time.
Ryan slid down from the chair with a sad face and hugged Arya's arm. "Mommy, I don't want to run..."
Arya heard Edward's name and knew it must be good for Ryan's health because he was the doctor.
So she shook her head at Ryan. "No."
Then Ryan ran to Nanny Joy for help.
Arya looked at Xavier. "I want to go out later."
After a moment of silence, Xavier nodded and added, "Only for a little while."
Arya agreed.
After the meal, Xavier went to the company and Ryan was taken care of by Nanny Joy. When Arya was
about to go to the hospital, she bumped into Daisy who came in...
