Xavier's face darkened in an instant.
He immediately knew what Daisy was up to.
He didn't understand why she was focusing on this matter every day.
Seeing Xavier come in, Daisy stood up and introduced the woman to Xavier with a smile. "This is Laura. I invited her here. Bridget is not here, so you should accompany her."
As Daisy spoke, Laura stood up with a shy smile on her face. "Hello, I'm sorry for my sudden visit."
Xavier didn't even want to stand on ceremony.
He ignored her.
He shouted at Nanny May, "Is lunch ready?"
As he spoke, he walked straight to the dining room.
Daisy looked a little embarrassed and smiled at Laura. "Don't mind. That's his style."
Laura pursed her lips. "Auntie, does he not like me?"
It was obvious that it was a blind date.
To be honest, no woman could resist such a man.
He was a successful and capable man in his thirties with mature charm. He not only had delicate features, but also had the momentum honed in lots of experiences, with arrogance around him.
He was a deadly seduction.
All women would like such a man.
"No, maybe it's because of work. Sit down. I'll ask him out."
Daisy comforted Laura, who was her ideal daughter-in-law.
In the kitchen, Xavier looked at the sweet and sour spare ribs that Nanny May made. "Pack this dish for me."
This was Nanny May's specialty. It couldn't be bought outside. Ryan must like it.
Nanny May looked at Xavier in confusion. "Aren't you eating at home?"
She paused for a moment. "Madam did this for your own good… Even if you don't like it, you have to stand on ceremony. Don't let her lose face."
In the beginning, Nanny May didn't agree with Daisy to do so. She asked Daisy to discuss it with Xavier.
However, Daisy insisted on doing so and said, "He definitely won't listen. I can only force him."
Nanny Joy knew Xavier was stubborn and it would not work on him.
It would only make him more disgusted.
Daisy walked in and said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you the truth. I like that girl outside…"
Xavier smiled. "If you like her, you can keep her. You can have another son and let her be your daughter-in-law."
Nanny May almost burst into laughter. She sighed in her heart. 'Madam must be furious to death.'
"You…" Daisy slapped Xavier angrily. "What do you want? To be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
Xavier's face darkened slightly. 'If Arya dies, I'll do it. I can't die with her, because I've promised her to protect and take care of Ryan.'
He felt heartbroken at the thought of how Arya had said this to him that day.
'Why didn't I notice it? If I had known it early, I would have been kinder to her and not have let her get hurt…'
But in this world, no one could go back.
Daisy saw that Xavier's face sank and softened her tone. "If you get along with her, you will find that she is a good girl."
'It has nothing to do with me!'
"Don't be nervous. Just make yourself at home." Daisy put the food on Laura's plate.
Laura smiled. "Thank you. I'll take it myself. I don't regard you as an outsider."
As she spoke, she looked at Xavier. "Mr. Jones and my father are both government officials. Maybe we have a predestined relationship?"
Xavier took a sip of the soup and looked up at Laura.
When she met Xavier's gaze, Laura's heart skipped a beat, like a calm lake being stirred up by a stone.
Just as she thought Xavier would talk to her, Xavier said to Nanny May. "Have you packed the things I asked you to pack?"
"Yes."
Nanny May sighed slightly.
As soon as Xavier finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang. It was Ryan. He was alone and afraid.
"Xavier, where are you? Can you go back and accompany me now?"
Xavier's face shone with a warm light. "Miss me?"
The people at the table were all stunned by his attitude and voice.
It was completely different from his previous attitude.
Ryan thought for a moment. "Yes, I'm afraid."
"I'll be back soon." After hanging up the phone, he got up and looked cold again. "I'm full. You guys continue."
He took the lunch box that Nanny May had packed and left, leaving the people on the table in embarrassment.
Daisy's face twisted in anger.
'He did it on purpose, didn't he? Who called him? I have never seen him speak like this. Who mesmerized him?'
