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 T 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 fo 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."
