Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 38

"Ryan." The man looked at Ryan seriously but did not scold him.

Under the man's gaze, Ryan released his hand silently.

The man said to Arya, "Help me hug him. This kid is really heavy."

Arya didn't reach out immediately because she could see that Ryan didn't want her.

"Don't make things difficult for him. He's just a child."

Arya forced a smile.

Her heart ached. She had been a mother before, but the time was so short that she thought it was a

dream.

But she knew it wasn't a dream.

And she loved her child.

She felt stuffy and painful.

The man's voice came. "I work at a nearby law firm. I know a good restaurant nearby."

Arya was a little distracted and followed the man to the restaurant.

She didn't even know how she got into the restaurant, but when she came back to her senses, she was

already inside.

The man introduced himself first. "My name is Caspar, a lawyer from Dacheng Law Firm."

Arya was embarrassed.

After all, she wasn't familiar with him.

She smiled politely. "My name is Arya. I'm unemployed now."

"Is there anything you like?" Caspar asked.

Arya shook her head. "I'm full. I think I'd better go first."

It was too uncomfortable for her to eat with a stranger.

But then, Caspar stopped her. "You may not know me, but I know you."

Arya paused.

Looking up at Caspar, she kept thinking whether she had met him before, but she had no impression of

him at all.

"I have a sister named Helen."

Arya shuddered, but she could not speak.

"You must remember the car accident four years ago." Caspar's eyes flashed with sadness.

She definitely remembered it. She would never forget it.

He didn't care how shocked Arya was and continued, "I was abroad and didn't receive the news

immediately. When I found out later, the case was over, I couldn't take a last look at her."

Arya's voice was trembling. "So you approached me for revenge?"

"No." He raised his eyes as he spoke, "Because you weren't the one driving that day."

Arya was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She looked at Caspar for a long time before she could

make a sound. She said incoherently, "You... How did you know?"

She never thought that anyone in this world would know that she was innocent.

"As for how I know, I'll tell you later."

After saying that, Caspar ignored Arya and teased Ryan, who was sitting by the side. "Tell me what you

want to eat?"

"Minced meat and egg soup." This was what he ordered every time he came.

Caspar scratched his little nose. "Then what do I like to eat?"

"Braised eggplant, spicy chicken, boiled fish. You like spicy food, and you eat it every day." Ryan

pouted and added childishly, "Grandma said that you love staying at home because you didn't like the

food abroad."

Caspar pinched Ryan's face. "Who allowed you to say so much, huh?"

Ryan giggled. "You!"

Arya sat back in her seat opposite him.

She wanted to know how Caspar knew it and if he had any evidence.

Caspar knew that as long as he threw this bait, she would definitely stay.

He stopped chatting up and had a nice lunch with Ryan. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He completely ignored the person sitting opposite.

They were eating, but Arya endured, not asking.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and the smile on Ryan's face disappeared.

He was familiar with this sound. As soon as Caspar answered the phone, he would be too busy to take

care of him.

This time it was the same.

"Okay, I'll be right there." After that, Caspar hung up the phone and looked up at Arya. "I have

something urgent. Can you take care of Ryan for me?"

Arya hesitated for a moment. Caspar thought she refused and said, "I can pay you."

"That's not what I meant. I'll take care of him for you."

Caspar thanked her, got up, and left. Then he seemed to have thought of something. He stepped back

and said, "Give me your phone number. I'll be in touch when I'm done."

Arya gave him her number.

Then he left in a hurry.

After Caspar left, Ryan had no appetite. He just stirred and scooped food with a spoon in his little hand.

Arya took the initiative to talk to him, "How about I feed you?"

Ryan shook his head.

...

There was another silence.

"Then if you want to go somewhere, I can take you there." Arya continued to chat up.

Ryan finally looked up at Arya. His round eyes were full of tears, and he shook his head and said, "No,

I miss Caspar."

Arya was speechless

"But he has something to do. Let me take care of you today?" Arya tried to coax him.

This time, he nodded and slid down the chair. "I'm full."

Arya picked him up.

Ryan was in a low mood and lay on Arya's shoulder without saying a word.

Arya tried to get close to him. "Who gave you your name? It sounds good."

"Caspar. He told me that my mother almost died of bleeding when she gave birth to me, so he asked

me to remember her kindness for giving birth to me."

Arya pursed her lips tightly, not saying anything.

She was choked with sadness and she dared not open her mouth for fear of breaking into tears.

Her child was gone on a rainy day.

All she heard was a cry, and she didn't even know if her baby was a boy or a girl.

She walked aimlessly by the side of the road. A slight breeze blew past her, and her face was very

cold.

"Miss, are you crying?"

Arya touched it and realized that tears were streaming down her face.

She wiped her face and said with a smile, "The wind is too strong. There's sand in my eyes."

"Then I'll blow them for you." Ryan pouted and blew Arya's eyes.

The warm heat brushed across the corner of her eyes. Arya smiled.

"You are so nice. How about I take you to the amusement park?"

"Really?" Ryan became interested. Caspar had already said that he would take him to play there, but

he had no time.

Arya gently rubbed his hair. "Really."

Ryan was excited. Arya was much better when she saw that he was happy.

Because of Ryan's age, he could not play in many amusement facilities, so Arya took him to play what

he could.

They spent the afternoon at the amusement park, and Arya never received a call from Caspar.

She had no contact information for Caspar, so she could only take Ryan, who was tired of playing and

asleep, back with her.

Along the way, she wondered how to tell Xavier about this child. 'Would he not allow her to take the

child into the villa?'

She opened the door of the villa nervously. She found that it was empty, and Xavier was not there.

Xavier didn't have time to come to the villa. It was Harriet's birthday today. He celebrated her birthday

at the house of the Harrison Family

The house of the Harrison Family was a separate mansion, lavishly and luxuriously decorated

Because of Harriet's birthday today, the house was especially lively.

The Harrison Family was all there, except Arya.

The living room was big enough, and the rectangular table was filled with pastries, fruits, and wine.

Harriet invited a lot of people.

The smile on Harriet's face never disappeared.

Xavier's arrival today made her proud.

Marshal was now more foppish than four years ago. He pretended to be powerful.

Harriet and Xavier hadn't even gotten married yet, but Marshal was already calling Xavier "brother-in-

law".

Xavier casually played with the lighter in his hand, pretending not to hear him.

Marshal wasn't as smart as Harriet, and he didn't see that Xavier was unhappy. He continued to step

forward. "I've discovered a profitable project, but I can't take it down. Can you help me?"

Xavier lowered his eye and did not look at him.

Marshal did a lot of work outside in the name of Xavier. But Xavier was pretending not to know.

There were three things he wouldn't get involved with, porn, gambling, and drugs.

Even if he did go to these places occasionally, it was for business.

And his father's identity did not allow him to get dirty.

Marshal was in a hurry. "Can you?"

Xavier raised his eye and sneered, "You have to do what you can."

The implication of Xavier's statement was that Marshal should not do this.

For so many years, he had given a lot to the Harrison Family.

He didn't care about the money, but he didn't like them to ask him for it.

They were greedy.

Marshal was stupid and did not hear Xavier's sarcasm. He thought that if Xavier would come today,

Xavier must care about Harriet. He had to take this opportunity to finalize the matter.

"All you have to do is to show up..."

"I have something else to do." Xavier stood up. He was so tired of talking to stupid people.

He didn't want to make a scene with Marshal by arguing with him.

Harriet saw Xavier looked sullen, then she hurriedly stopped talking with her guests.

"You guys have fun. I'll go over there and take a look."

The first thing she said when she walked over was, "What's wrong?"
