Chapter 428

At noon, the sun was a little warm and slightly dazzling. Arya sat in a café by the window.

She stirred the coffee with a spoon absent-mindedly.

She seemed to be waiting for someone.

But she didn't wait too long.

Janet walked in. But seeing Arya, she paused for a few seconds and then strode over. Before sitting down, she asked nervously, "What happened to my child?"

Arya looked at Janet's nervous expression and panicked for a moment. Janet probably cared about the child very much.

"He's fine."

Hearing this, Janet breathed a sigh of relief, sitting down

But thinking of Arya wanting to see her, Janet became worried again. "Why do you want to see me?" Janet asked.

Arya did not answer immediately but asked the waiter to serve Janet a cup of coffee. Janet hurried over and was indeed thirsty. She picked up the coffee and took a swig of it.

Arya said slowly, "We have picked a name for the child. Max."

"You give him a good name." Janet clenched her fists tightly under the table.

She was not as calm as she pretended.

She was a little bitter.

"It's not me. Bridget did." Arya said coolly.

Janet was shocked.

The reason why she asked Arya to raise the child before naming him was that she wanted Arya to give him a name. It was better for their mother-child bonding.

"Don't you like him?" Janet blurted out with disapproval.

Caring was sometimes not an advantage. She was worried that Arya didn't love the child, or that Arya didn't raise the child as Janet expected, so Janet almost lost control.

Arya looked at her but did not speak, waiting for her to calm down. Arya lowered her eyes and slowly stirred the coffee.

Janet realized that she was too agitated and gradually calmed down. "Do you want to tell me anything?"

With great deliberation, she said, "I understand you, but I can't agree. You can't impose your views on others. As the child's grandparents, they have the right to know..."

Before Arya could finish, Janet stood up with agitation. "What do you mean? You don't want..." "Can you hear me out?" Arya said discontentedly.

Janet couldn't calm down. "How do you know?"

"You don't have to know that. You still have a chance to change your mind. I don't want you to have regrets about the child, and I don't want the child to resent anyone when he grows up. I know you want him to have a better living environment, but you've overlooked that I might not love him as much as you, a biological mother.”

Janet pursed her lips and remained silent, her face slightly pale. She knew that Arya was somewhat reasonable.

"A caring environment could make him a better man than material wealth.” Arya put her hands on the table. "If you still think it's good for him to grow up under my care, I can still help you. But you must allow Jasper's parents to know about his existence and come to visit him."

Janet lowered her head and did not speak.

Arya was not in a hurry and waited patiently for her answer.

"I grew up in a family that values men over women. I have suffered more than others. I thought that when I grew up, I would be able to take care of myself and break off all relations with my family. However, I am still unable to get rid of them. My parents spoil my younger brother, so even though he has grown up, he is like a chair warmer and is addicted to gambling. My parents never care about me, just always asking me for money. I am very afraid of living a poor life. When I was in school, I envied other students who ate a hamburger, but I never dared to buy it. It wasn't because I didn't have money to buy it. I had part-time jobs. At least, I could afford one. But I am afraid that I will run out of money. I am afraid of that poor life.”

Janet propped up her face with one hand and continued in a choked voice. "I'm afraid he'll have a rough time if he's with me. I can't provide him with a good living standard.”

"After giving him to you, I often miss him. I can't sleep. I lost sleep every night.”

Arya handed her a tissue.

"Sorry." Janet lowered her head, wiping her face. After a moment, she had calmed down and looked at Arya. "You're right. A caring environment is more important for him."

In the end, Janet decided to raise Max herself, and live with Jasper's parents, giving her child love and warmth.

Although the child didn't have a father, he could grow up in a caring environment.

On the same day, Janet followed Arya back and picked up Max. When Janet saw that Max's expenditure on food, clothing and other necessities were the same as Ramona's. Janet was very grateful to Arya.

Arya asked Janet to come to her if she met any difficulties.

Janet agreed.

As soon as Janet left, Bridget came.

She wanted Arya to go shopping with her.

Arya looked at her. "Don't you need to go to the dance room?"

Bridget's mouth twitched. What did Jacob tell her last night?

He wanted to hire her as a private dancing teacher. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
