Chapter 39

Marshal hurriedly said, "I was interested in a site, so I wanted my brother-in-law to show up. And I could take it..."

Harriet's face darkened instantly. Marshal told her this yesterday and she refused.

She didn't expect him to mention it again.

She didn't even know how to explain to Xavier, so she could only scold Marshal, "You should do what you want to do on your own..."

Marshal was not an easy person, and he was unhappy when he heard it. "You haven't married into the Jones Family yet. Don't forget how you get where you are today, if not Ar..."

"Marshal!" Harriet interrupted Marshal in a hurry. She grabbed Marshal and glared at him. "You're my brother. I've always pampered you. It's my birthday. Do you have to make a scene?”

Looking at Harriet's warning eyes, he was also aware that he had almost said the wrong thing.

He was kind of embarrassed but refused to admit his mistakes. He said stubbornly, "Why didn't you help me since you said you spoiled me? It's not about money. I just need him to show up."

Xavier tugged at his collar. He had already thought that if he married Harriet, such things would probably happen frequently.

He took a breath and patted Harriet on the shoulder meaningfully.

"Xavier..."

"I gotta go."

How could Harriet be willing? When Xavier came, many people envied her.

After staying for such a short time, he would leave without even eating the cake. How would others think of her?

Harriet held Xavier's hand, unwilling to let it go.

Xavier's brows drew together in a frown, "Harriet, you've never been unreasonable, have you?" Harriet moved her lips. She wanted to be dignified and generous, but today was her birthday. And she just wanted to keep him here. Was that unreasonable?

"You are my fiancé. It's my birthday. I hope you can stay and celebrate it with me. Is it wrong?" Harriet looked misty-eyed.

In the end, Xavier just asked, "Are you sure you want me to stay here?"

Harriet hesitated for a second and nodded. She knew that if she insisted, Xavier would stay, but he would be unhappy.

She was going to say nice things to him when the dinner was over.

To avoid Marshal mentioning that again, Harriet asked Estella to take him away.

Xavier did stay, but in a perfunctory manner as he didn't say a word the whole time.

Harriet didn't dare to make any demands.

At the end of the party, some people came up to make him an acquaintance. Xavier didn't even take a look at them and left first.

Harriet wanted to see him off. Xavier asked her to entertain the guests, and he drove away.
