Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 256

Arya said, "Well, you go first."

She still had to think about how to tell Xavier.

Jacob nodded and stood up to leave.

Arya lowered her head and rubbed her brows. When she was in a trance, someone sat down opposite

her. Only then did she regain her senses and see the person raising her eyebrows. "Why are you

here?"

"It's weird to see me?" Caspar didn't wear formal clothes or glasses, nor was he as sharp as he was in

court.

He looked very easygoing, but Arya knew that he was not that type.

"No." Arya smiled and replied, "Thank you so much for last time."

Last time, with Caspar's help, she was able to work with Joseph.

Caspar beckoned to the waiter, "Give me a glass of water."

Then he turned to Arya and asked, "Do you know if I won or lost the case?"

"Try me." Arya asked. She didn't care about it but followed Caspar's words.

In fact, Caspar didn't care much about the result, but after he agreed with Joseph, he couldn't deal with

it casually. What he was struggling with was the case itself.

Joseph had cheated on his wife before, and he had domestic violence. His wife couldn't stand it

anymore, so she proposed to divorce Joseph.

Joseph even demanded to ensure that his wife get no single penny from the divorce.

So he wasn't happy to win such a lawsuit.

But he didn't want to talk to Arya. Instead, he smiled. "Is there any case I can't win?"

Arya was thinking about Xavier and didn't notice that Caspar looked wrong. She smiled, "That's good."

She took a sip of water and looked at Caspar, "Then why aren't you happy?"

Caspar paused and smiled bitterly, "Alice and I have been married for a long time, but we never had a

child. My family is anxious."

Arya thought that they had been married for a long time. "Is it because you're too busy with work?"

Caspar pursed his lips tightly. No matter how busy he was at work, there was still time to have a child.

It was because of Alice's health. Ever since they got married, their family urged them to have a child,

and they had never taken contraceptive measures, but to their surprise, Alice wasn't pregnant ever.

A while ago, they went to the hospital and found that Alice was born with a malformed uterus wall, so it

was difficult for her to get pregnant.

Arya understood that it wasn't because they didn't want a child. She looked at Caspar and asked, "Is

there a problem with you or her?"

Caspar pursed his lips and took a swig of water. He didn't want to continue this unpleasant topic, so he

deliberately changed the subject, "What are you doing here alone?"

Arya was also preoccupied with the thought of Xavier.

Both of them fell silent.

After a while, Arya said, "I have to go first."

"Well, when you're free, we should have dinner together." From the time Alice knew that she might

never be able to have a child, she had the idea of divorce.

He wanted Arya to persuade her out of the thought and told her that there were still options, for

instance, adoption.

Arya said, "Okay."

Then she stood up and left the coffee shop.

She got in the car and asked the driver to go to the Jones Group.

Soon, the car stopped at the Jones Group. Arya got out of the car and walked in. The receptionist saw

Arya come in and greeted her warmly. Arya smiled back and took the elevator to the top floor, where

Xavier's office was.

When they reached the top floor, Arya walked out of the elevator. Jacob had just come out of Xavier's

office and saw her coming. The two of them looked at each other. Jacob greeted her first. "Mrs. Jones."

Arya answered softly and gave him a comforting look, "Don't worry."

Jacob nodded, hoping that Arya could persuade Xavier.

Arya pushed open the door and walked in. Xavier thought it was Jacob again, and said impatiently,

"What else do you have..."

In the middle of speaking, he saw that it was Arya, and he did not say the rest of his words. He looked

at her and asked, "Why are you here?" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Arya walked to his desk, stood still, and looked straight at him, "Can't I come?"

Xavier raised his eyebrows. 'Is she unhappy?' Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Arya casually

glanced at the newspaper, which was headlined about the trial result of Terrence's deliberate murder.

"So soon?" Arya picked up the newspaper on the desk and took a look. She did not stay much.

There was a faint sneer on Xavier's lips.

Some people were more anxious than he was about settling Terrence's crime.

Needless to say, Terrence didn't do it himself. He didn't have the guts. Someone must have backed him

up.

Who in W City had such great ability?

Nothing but the Gates Family.

He did not sympathize with Terrence who deserved his penalty.

Arya looked up and saw the pondering look of Xavier. She asked, "What are you thinking?"

Xavier put away his thoughts, "Nothing." He didn't want her to worry about these things.

Arya walked around the desk and sat beside Xavier on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck

and stared at him.

Xavier let her watch, lifted a strand of her hair, and twirled it between his fingers. A low and gentle voice

sounded in her ears. "Do I look good?"

Arya did not answer him. She looked at him for a few seconds and buried her head in his arms.

"Xavier, how I wish you could stand up and welcome our child."

Xavier was stunned.

'Why would she suddenly say that?'

'What does she know?'

"Have you met Jacob?" Xavier knew it was him who leaked it almost without thinking.

Arya held his shoulders, "Don't blame him." She looked at him very seriously. "Why did you refuse such

a precious opportunity? What are you worried about?"

Xavier pursed his lips.

Arya smiled, "Because of me? Are you worried about me?"

Her eyes blurred, "Am I a child? Do I need you to protect me at the cost of your legs?"

The more she spoke, the louder her voice became, "You want me to live in guilt for the rest of my life,

don't you?"

"Arya..."

"You never thought for me. Do you know what I want?" Arya quickly interrupted him.

"I want you to stand up. I want you to stand up and hug me, kiss me, protect me..."

Xavier pressed her head against his chest and hugged her agitated and trembling body tightly.

Arya listened to his strong heartbeat quietly, "Promise me you'll accept treatment."

Xavier reached out and covered her lower abdomen, which was obviously bulging because a new life

was brewing inside, which still made his heart beat fast.

He kissed her hair, "I don't want you to be too tired..."

"The company has Jacob and Orlando. I won't be too tired. I have Mom at home, so you don't have to

worry about me." Arya looked up at him, "Promise me, okay?"

She didn't need him to sacrifice his legs for protection.

As long as she knew his heart belonged to her.

Xavier still didn't promise her. Arya kissed him on the lips.

Her warm lips pressed against his, without a crack.

After a long time, Arya slowly left his lips and stared at him, "Promise me."

Xavier's heart softened when she looked at him. He muttered, "I promise you."

Arya smiled and hugged him.

Arya didn't leave the company. She had lunch with him there. In the afternoon, Xavier had to deal with

some things.

Arya sat on the sofa and waited for Xavier to go back together. Unconsciously, she fell asleep.

Xavier put down the document in his hands, rolled the wheelchair to the lounge, took a blanket, and

covered her body. Arya slept soundly, so she did not wake up from the slight noise.

As Daisy said, some pregnant women would need a lot of sleep.

She was now, and she ate a lot more, putting on weight a bit.

Xavier gently brushed her hair which covered her face. If he could stand up, would he be able to carry

her to the room to sleep, so she wouldn't have to lie on the sofa?

He moved his hand to her face and gently stroked her cheek. He also firmly wanted to stand up to

welcome their child and to protect her behind him.

When Arya woke up, it was a little late. Xavier finished his things early, but he didn't wake her up

because she was sleeping soundly.

Arya frowned slightly, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Xavier combed her messy hair with his fingers. "It's time for us to go home."

Arya got up and pushed him back together.

In the Old Residence, as soon as Arya pushed Xavier into the living room, she saw Bridget in the living

room. But she had not heard about it before. Why did she suddenly come back?

Although Bridget was a little mentally ill, she did hate Arya in her heart, or else she wouldn't have been

so emotional to her.

Now she was back to normal, but she disliked Arya.

Arya and Xavier entered the living room. Bridget greeted Xavier, "Brother, I'm back."

Xavier answered faintly with no expression, "Why are you back all of a sudden?"

"Because I'm well now. I can't spend my whole life abroad." Bridget looked at Arya and said, "Sister-in-

law, do you think so?"

Arya clenched her hands tightly and smiled at her, "It's nice to have you back."

She really didn't want to have any contact with Bridget. Although she was cured, Arya could still feel

her hostility towards her.

"That's nice. I've asked the kitchen to prepare dinner. Let's go to the dining room." Daisy came out of

the kitchen. She was very happy that Bridget came back today. She picked up Ryan and asked

everyone to go to the dining room.

Xavier didn't follow but went to the study. He called Edward and asked about Bridget.

Edward said that Bridget was indeed in good spirits.

Xavier hung up the phone and fell silent.

He could also tell that Bridget still had grudges for Arya.

No one in the dining room moved knives and forks. They were waiting for Xavier.

"Bridget, it's so good that you're back." Harriet and Bridget sat together and said affectionately, holding

her arm.

"Make yourself at home. Let me know if anyone bullies you." Bridget glanced at Arya as she spoke.

"Bridget, what are you talking about? Who would bully Harriet at home? You talk nonsense as soon as

you come back." Daisy scolded her. She was glad that she came back, but not happy to see she

started to make trouble.

Daisy was not a fool. She could tell the implication of her words.

"Mom, what nonsense am I talking about?" Bridget asked Daisy.

'In just a few months, has Arya won the support of my mother?

Daisy's face involuntarily darkened, "Let me remind you, all seated here are our families. Don't talk

nonsense."

Arya held Ryan without saying anything.

"Bridget, you said something wrong and you should apologize to your sister-in-law. We're all family.

Just make it clear." Harriet seemed to be making peace, but in fact, she's adding fuel to the fire.

With Bridget's temper, would she apologize to Arya?

"She doesn't deserve to be my sister-in-law. She only knows..."

"What does she only know?!"

At this moment, Xavier rolled into the wheelchair, his whole body emitting a cold air and his tone as chill

as ice.

"She knows what it is." Bridget's voice was much lower. She was a little intimidated when Xavier got

angry.

"She doesn't know herself. I want to hear from you. From your tone, you know very well. Tell me!"

Xavier's tone was aggressive.

"She's your sister!" Henry scolded him in a deep voice, unable to see Xavier treat Bridget like this.

"That's right, brother. I just came back..."

"I don't even know that I'm your brother. When you don't take your sister-in-law seriously, have you

ever thought that I'm your brother? When you don't respect her, have you ever thought that you don't

respect me?" Xavier interrupted Bridget. 'Don't make things difficult for her as soon as she came back.'

Today, he wanted his family to see clearly that Arya was his wife and daughter-in-law of the Jones

Family.

Bridget held the knife tightly in her hand and stared at Xavier with misty eyes. She was also wronged,

wasn't she?

In just a few months, she experienced divorce and miscarriage. She was a woman. Who knew her

bitterness? It was all because of Arya. How could she accept her? How could she smile at her?

"Brother, have you ever thought of me? Do you know the pain in my heart?" Bridget looked at Xavier

with teary eyes.

"From the beginning, I told you that you were not suitable. It was you who insisted on marrying him,

and the bitter fruit that you planted, you had to eat it yourself. You shouldn't blame others!" Xavier's

tone deepened a little, leaving her no mercy.

"Bridget is your sister. You can't say that." Harriet took a piece of tissue to wipe Bridget's tears.

Xavier narrowed his eyes, "You're in no position to talk here!"
