Chapter 248

Arya shook her head decisively, "It's not funny at all.”

"Don’t you think it's too late?”

Xavier finished speaking and reached out his long arm to hold the back of her head. He did not allow her to dodge and kissed her lips hard. His kiss deepened, mixed with his helplessness, his indulgence, and his heartache.

Henry's disapproval of Arya depressed him, but that was his father, and he couldn't go too far.

Arya reached out to his neck and responded to his kiss. She didn't care about anything else when she was with him. She didn't care what others thought of her or whether they disapproved of her. The kiss lasted for a long time. Xavier let go of her and touched her rosy cheek. "I'm sorry."

He said he wanted to protect her, but his hands were tied.

Arya put her hand on the back of his hand and looked at him. She said to him seriously, "Don't. I'm glad to be with you.”

She had fallen for him when he protected her with his life. As long as she could be with him, she could overcome any obstacles.

She would reject a man if she didn't like him. When she fell in love with someone, she was willing to do anything.

She would do anything for Xavier.

Xavier looked at her. Perhaps, only after experiencing loss would he learn to cherish her.

"Let's go to sleep, okay?"

Arya didn't know how to act coquettishly, but Xavier was still surprised by such a stiff action. He had no resistance to the woman he liked.

Xavier propped up his upper body and moved to the bed. Arya made room for him, and Xavier held her in his arms.

It was getting dark outside the window.

Mr. Gates did not expect Xavier to wake up and the fall of the Robin Family. Henry was still in power, and Xavier was in charge of the Jones Group again. If Xavier knew that he had something to do with Terrence, Xavier would retaliate.

Even if Xavier had guessed or already knew, he couldn't do anything to Mr. Gates casually without evidence.

Mr. Gates was at his study with his son.

"Dad, Xavier is awake. What are you going to do?" Rufus asked.

They couldn't fight the Jones Family head-on. They were all prominent figures in W City. If they fought, they would only benefit those who coveted their position.
