Chapter 173

Ryan was going with her. "Mommy, I'm with you."

Arya smiled. "Okay."

"Ryan, the sweet and sour ribs are ready. I put too much salt. Try it and tell me if it's too salty." Nanny Joy did it on purpose. Xavier was eager to see Arya and didn't want Ryan to disturb them. But Ryan didn't notice that.

Xavier had never come back so early before.

He came back early today just for Arya.

Nanny Joy held Ryan's hand. "Try it and tell me you like it or not.”

Xavier had once brought them sweet and sour ribs, and Ryan liked the taste.

Ryan nodded. "Okay."

He then followed Nanny Joy to the kitchen and forgot everything else.

Ryan's greedy look amused Arya. She smiled.

But the smile on her face gradually disappeared at the thought of Daisy's words.

Arya patted her face, trying to make herself look natural.

She pushed open the door but didn't see Xavier. She just heard the sound of water in the bathroom. Arya somehow relaxed. She walked into the room, sat on the sofa in front of the window, and looked out.
