Chapter 17
Hearing his words, Estella laughed happily. She glanced sideways at Richard and thought he did a
good job because she believed that if Richard hadn't asked, Xavier wouldn't bring this up now.
But actually, Xavier was going to tell them about it.
Estella personally sent Xavier out and said with concern, "It's late. Drive safe."
Xavier said goodbye to her and drove away.
He didn't go home. Instead, he drove towards the clubhouse. He had to find out who was plotting
against him.
The neon lights outside the window flashed quickly, and he suddenly remembered Harriet's words.
He began to think about whether he liked her or felt he should be responsible for her.
In fact, he had no answer. But at that time, he knew he should be responsible for that woman who had
lost her virginity to him.
Even if he didn't like or love the woman.
Soon the car stopped at the door of the clubhouse. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw
another car parking at the door.
The person standing by the car looked familiar. It was Jasper.
He leaned against the car, waiting for Arya to get off work. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Xavier sat back in the car, raised his wrist, and looked at his watch. It was already late at night.
'Is this man waiting for that woman to get off work?'
He looked up and saw Jasper standing quietly without any impatience.
At this moment, Arya came out. It was colder outside and she couldn't help shivering.
Jasper walked over quickly, took off his coat, and put it on her. "It's getting cold. You should wear
more."
Arya pursed her lips and said nothing.
No one knew how moved she was when she came out and saw someone waiting for her, caring about
her.
"What happened? Are you OK?" Jasper asked with concern.
Arya put her arms around his neck and buried her face in his arms.
"The second I saw you, I wanted to cast everything aside. No caring about what had happened before
and just spending the rest of my life with you in peace... But... I couldn't do it. When I had a dream at
midnight, all I heard was my baby's cry that broke my heart..."
Jasper hugged her tightly. "I know. I know. I will support you in whatever you want to do. If you want to
kill someone, I'll take the blame for you..."
Far away, Xavier couldn't hear what they said. But he didn't like to see them hugging.
He felt annoyed for no reason.
He then started the car and left.
He drove fast and a strong wind blew as he passed them.
Jasper and Arya stood there for a long time. It was not until Arya was calm that Jasper let her go and
let her get in the car.
Jasper didn't drive straight back to her place.
Instead, he headed for a restaurant.
"It's so late. You must be hungry." Jasper said.
Arya smiled and nodded.
In fact, she wasn't very hungry. She just didn't want to disappoint Jasper.
They ordered a kebab and because Jasper had to drive, they didn't order beer and ordered Coke.
Coke and kebabs tasted good.
In the middle, Arya paid the bill, using the excuse that she needed to go to the bathroom.
When Jasper went to pay, he was a little unhappy to know that she had paid for it. "I said to treat you to
dinner. Why did you pay?"
"It's nothing. Let's go. I'm sleepy."
Arya didn't want him to get caught up in this anymore. She even yawned to show that she was sleepy.
Jasper said gently, "Don't think you can fool me. Don't do it again."
Arya nodded several times.
After getting home, Arya fell asleep very quickly.
She was tired.
When she woke up, it was already nine o'clock. She was about to get up when the phone rang.
She got out of bed and went to the living room to answer the phone. It was Sunny who called and
asked her to go to the club now.
"Now?" It wasn't time for work, so she wasn't sure if Sunny wanted her to go now.
"Yes. Hurry up."
"What happened..."
Before she could ask, the phone was hung up.
She had to wash up and go to the clubhouse.
Because there were few people during the day, it was very quiet inside.
She was about to go to the foreman's office when a strange man blocked her way. "You're looking for
Sunny, right?"
Arya didn't doubt him and nodded.
"Then follow me."
The man walked in front to lead the way.
She could only follow him. Soon, the man took her to the manager's office.
He didn't go in, but said to her, "Everyone is inside. Go in."
Arya was not in a hurry to go in. It was obvious that something had happened.
She tried to ask him.
"Who is inside? What happened?"
"You'll know when you go in." The man didn't answer.
Arya hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door.
No matter what had happened, she had to go in.
Since she couldn't get away, she had better face it.
Someone inside said, "Come in." Only then did Arya open the door and walk in...
