Chapter 245
Chapter 245
Maybe it was because of Xavier's presence that Arya slept very soundly. When she woke up, Xavier
was no longer there.
When she got up and went downstairs, she learned from Daisy that Xavier had gone to the company.
Arya nodded and turned around to go upstairs, Madam Swift stopped her. "Arya, Joshua, and I want to
go back."
Arya didn't want them to leave. "Why?"
She could buy a house for them somewhere else. Madam Swift was old, and Joshua was in such a bad
situation. If they returned, Arya would be worried.
Madam Swift understood Arya's good intentions, but she had lived in the village for almost her life.
Madam Swift came over and held Arya's hand. Madam Swift understood her goodwill. After all, the
Aqua Village was the place where Madam Swift had lived for most of her life. There were many
memories of her and Mr. Swift there. She didn't want to leave. She was nostalgic as she was old.
"I know what you're thinking. When I passed away, please take care of Joshua." If it weren't for Joshua,
she wouldn't have been able to survive.
Arya didn't insist anymore and nodded hard. "I'll take care of him."
Madam Swift was grateful and tightened her grip on Arya's hand.
"Then I'll go pack my things now." Madam Swift looked anxious.
Arya stopped her. "Wait until tomorrow. I'll send you back tomorrow."
Because of Xavier, she was hardly at home. Now that she had time, she could take Joshua out to have
some fun.
Madam Swift hesitated and agreed.
Arya changed into casual clothes and took Ryan and Joshua out. She asked Madam Swift to go with
her. Madam Swift didn't want to go, saying that she was tired.
Arya didn't force her and took Joshua and Ryan out.
Arya drove the car and asked, "Joshua, where do you want to go?"
Joshua thought for a moment. "I want to go to Building 63."
Arya looked at Joshua in the rearview mirror. "Why do you want to go to Building 63?"
"Grandpa said Building 63 is the highest building in W City, which provides a panoramic view of the W
City."
Ten years ago, Building 63 was the highest building, but it was not anymore.
"It is not anymore. I can take you to the tallest building."
Joshua shook his head and said stubbornly, "I'm going to Building 63."
Arya smiled and said, "Okay, you are the boss today."
Joshua smiled happily.
When they got there, Arya bought tickets to take them to the sightseeing elevator.
Joshua looked up at the skyscraper and said, "This building is really tall."
Ryan stood beside him and also looked at the skyscraper, "Mommy didn't even bring me here."
Joshua touched Ryan's head and said, "You're here today."
Ryan giggled.
Arya bought the tickets and held their hands to walk towards the entrance.
It wasn't a holiday. There weren't many people and they didn't have to wait in line. They quickly took the
sightseeing elevator.
Standing in the elevator, they could see the scenery outside and clearly felt that they were getting
further and further away from the ground.
Ryan held Arya's hand tightly. "Mommy, it's so high here."
Arya looked down at him, "Are you afraid?"
Ryan swallowed saliva. He was obviously a little scared, but he shook his head and said, "No, I'm a
man."
Arya's eyes softened, "Mommy is standing right here, and you'll see me as long as you look back."
Ryan didn't understand and blinked his big, confused eyes.
Arya bought the tickets to the top floor.
The top floor was panoramically designed and surrounded by high-strength tempered glass, which
gave people the feeling of stepping on clouds.
Ryan kept holding Arya's hand, afraid of heights.
Joshua was very excited.
Arya played with them and when they were tired, they had a meal in the Sky Garden Restaurant.
After they came out of Building 63, they went to the amusement park.
Joshua was having a good time with Ryan, and Arya was in charge of buying tickets.
It was getting dark. Arya took them to the mall. Madam Swift was going back to Aqua Village. Arya
bought things for her and Joshua.
Daisy called before she finished shopping. Daisy asked when she would be back.
She was pregnant, so Daisy didn't want her to stay out for long.
Arya said That she would go back soon. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I'll have the driver pick you up," Daisy said.
Arya said after a moment of silence. "Okay."
Daisy cared about her, so she couldn't refuse.
After buying some clothes for Madam Swift, Arya took them out of the mall.
The driver was already waiting at the door.
Arya asked Ryan and Joshua to get in the car first. "Take them back first. I'll drive."
Arya drove out today. If she left her car here, it was so troublesome to have someone drive it back
tomorrow.
"But Madam asked me to pick you up." The driver was in a dilemma.
"It's okay. I'll explain." Arya said.
The driver hesitated and said, "Then be careful."
"Well, take care of them." Arya ordered.
"I will." The driver said and got into the car.
Arya watched them leave before turning to get the car.
On the way, she thought of Xavier, so Arya called him.
She waited for a while before he answered, "Yes, what's up?"
"I just wanted to know are you home yet?" Arya said.
"No."
"Well, I'm driving, so I gotta go."
Hearing his answer, Arya hung up.
Then she turned around at the corner and drove towards the Jones Group.
Almost everyone in the company was off work, and only a few were working overtime.
When Arya walked through the corridor, she met the head of the Finance Department.
He took the initiative to say hello to Arya.
Arya was stunned for a moment. After this incident, many people were fired. 'Why is he there? Doesn't
he work for Vincent?'
"I never work for Terrence." He pretended to be Terrence's lackey, but in fact, he worked for Xavier and
spied on Terrence.
Arya understood. If the Finance Department was not in Xavier's hands, he could not hide the fact that
the company had no money from Terrence.
"Mr. Jones and Jacob are in the office."
"Okay."
Arya walked towards the office and heard Jacob's voice when she was about to knock on the door.
"Terrence has a stroke. It's very serious. He cannot recognize anyone."
Arya's hand paused. 'Terrence has a stroke?'
Xavier lowered his eyes slightly. 'Stroke?'
"Really?" Xavier obviously didn't believe that Terrence would have a stroke.
"I've investigated it. He really had a stroke."
At first, Jacob didn't believe it either. He thought Terrence was trying to escape, so he faked a stroke.
However, after investigation, he found that it was true.
Xavier looked up at Jacob for two seconds. "Whether he had a stroke or not..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Arya walked in. Xavier bit back his words and motioned for Arya to come.
Jacob knew what Xavier was going to say.
Even if Terrence really had a stroke this time, Xavier was not going to let him go.
"I'll leave first."
Xavier nodded.
When the office door closed, Xavier put his arm around Arya's waist, letting her sit on his lap, and
smoothed her hair, "It's so late. Why are you here?"
