Arya pushed Xavier. Xavier didn't let her go forward. She didn't know what he was thinking, so she didn't move.
Jacob and Daisy walked to the exit to greet them. Jacob took their luggage and put it in the car first.
When Daisy, who had been in a good mood, saw Harriet, her face darkened slightly. "Why did she come back with you?"
Henry looked gloomy. From afar, he saw Xavier in a wheelchair.
Although Xavier didn't join the army as he had told, he still recognized that Xavier was capable.
Now seeing him in a wheelchair was even more upsetting than sitting in a wheelchair himself.
Henry had not expected Harriet to be Cullen's granddaughter, either.
Cullen had only one son, and his son died on a mission.
He was not married when he died. Henry only heard that he had a girlfriend.
And Harriet was that woman's child.
Henry didn't go into detail about this. He just said that Harriet was Cullen's granddaughter.
Cullen really has been an incredible mentor to him, and he couldn't have achieved so much without the help of Cullen.
Daisy glanced at Harriet and then put her arm around Henry.
"Let's go home." Daisy said with a smile.
Henry bowed his head slightly and did not get angry in public.
Because of Xavier's legs, he didn't sit in the same car with them. Arya had been restless. She couldn't figure out why Harriet came back with Henry.
Xavier could not explain this to her, because he did not know the reason.
Xavier held her hand tightly and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
It didn't take long for the car to stop at the old house. Henry and the others got out of the car and entered the house first, and then Arya wheeled Xavier in.
Henry sat on the sofa in the living room. When he saw Xavier and Arya come in, he said, "Harriet will live at home in the future and she will be one of our family members."
Arya stood behind Xavier and did not say anything. She just listened quietly.
Xavier also said nothing.
Daisy couldn't figure it out. 'She has her own family. Why is she living here?'
Besides, she was Xavier's ex-girlfriend, and now she was single, which made the situation awkward.
Harriet seemed to know Daisy's thoughts and explained, "Daisy, isn't it inappropriate for me to stay at your home?"
Before Daisy could say anything, Henry said, "No. You should feel at home here."
Harriet smiled, "Thank you."
Daisy was unhappy, but she didn't show it. "I'll ask Nanny May to clean up the guest room downstairs."
"Thank you, Daisy." Harriet smiled. She knew that Daisy was unhappy, but she didn't care.
It was fine as long as Henry was nice to her.
The years when she and Xavier were together, she knew a little about Henry.
He treasured the relationship. The Porter Family had promoted him. Now that she was the only granddaughter of the Porter Family, he would definitely treat her well.
So when she asked to live here, he agreed without hesitation.
Thinking that she could have the identity today, she couldn't help but look at Arya. "Long time no see, sister."
Arya compressed her lips and did not respond.
Henry glanced at her and stood up, "Xavier, follow me to the study."
Xavier gestured Arya to let him go and he went in by himself. Arya didn't know what Henry was going to say to Xavier, which made her a little nervous.
Xavier looked back at her and gave her a reassuring look. Arya nodded slightly.
After Xavier went to the study, Daisy asked Arya to sit down.
In the study, as soon as he entered, Henry asked, "What happened to your legs?"
Xavier didn't want to say much about it, "Because of something in the company."
"What did the doctor say?" Xavier was his son. Seeing him in a wheelchair, he felt very sad.
"Not much hope." It was hard for him to accept what the doctor said. He still felt bad about it, but he thought he was lucky enough to wake up.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Arya woke up. It was dark in the room. The lights in the room were turned on before she could reach them.
"Are you awake?" Xavier had been in the room, afraid that she wouldn't sleep well, so he didn't turn on the lights. He just heard something, so he turned on the bedside light.
"Well, it's late." Arya lifted the quilt to get out of bed. Xavier stopped her. Arya looked at him in confusion. "I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry."
Perhaps because she was pregnant, she easily became hungry and ate more.
"I'll let Nanny Joy bring it in." Xavier said dotingly as he reached out to stroke her messy hair.
Arya smiled and did not say a word, enjoying Xavier's kindness to her. Nanny Joy brought the food in and Xavier asked her to put it on the bedside table.
Nanny Joy clearly knew what was going on and left the room.
Xavier picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it on his lips, and felt that it was not hot, then he handed it to Arya's mouth. Because he was very tall, sitting in a wheelchair, feeding Arya, who was sitting on the bed, was not difficult at all.
Arya did not open her mouth immediately, but looked at him, unable to express any feelings in her heart. Although they were together and there was a lot of distance between them, at this moment, she did not want to think about anything, so she quietly enjoyed the warmth he gave her.
She opened her mouth and ate the soup that Xavier had fed her.
One bite after another...
Arya ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. She ate all the food that Nanny Joy brought in.
Xavier put down the empty bowl and looked up at her. "Are you full? If not, I'll let her make some other dishes for you."
Arya pulled her lips. "You really want to raise me like a pig."
"I would like to." Xavier's eyes swept around her. She was too thin, and she was so thin that he really wanted to fatten her up.
"Xavier?" Arya called him directly.
"Yes..."
As soon as Xavier looked up, he was grabbed by Arya and kissed. She didn't wipe her mouth after dinner, and her mouth was greasy, which rubbed against Xavier's lips.
Seeing that Xavier was embarrassed because of her, Arya covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled.
Xavier took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her lips. Arya didn't move and let him do this. Xavier didn't change the tissue and wiped it for himself. Seeing this, she smiled even more brightly.
Xavier threw it away. He looked up at Arya and said, "Is it so funny?"
