Chapter 16
Estella quickly quieted down and stood up from the sofa, smiling, "Xavier."
Seeing the person in his arms, she completely ignored the unhappiness. "She is so naughty. How can ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
she bother you to take care of her?"
Estella was about to wake Harriet up but Xavier stopped her, "I'll send her back to her room."
It wasn't his first time to come here, and he knew where was Harriet's room.
Xavier went upstairs. Estella sat down on the sofa again and looked at Richard. "See? She's your good
daughter. She's so promising. If it weren't for her, what would happen to your company? If it weren't for
Harriet, it would have been closed long ago."
Richard paused because Estella was actually telling the truth.
Thinking about that, he subconsciously looked upstairs.
Estella took the initiative to sit next to Richard and massaged his shoulders. "You can't talk about Arya
in front of Xavier. The Jones Family is so powerful. If they know Arya has been once in prison, it will
definitely affect Harriet's marriage."
"But..."
"Even if you don't say it, she's still your daughter. Blood relationships can't change. It's just that you
can't mention her. You're not a celebrity. Who knows you have another daughter?"
Estella continued, "Do you want the Harrison Family to be destroyed by her? We've suffered a lot. Do
you want people to say that you have a daughter who has been imprisoned?"
Although Richard felt a little guilty about Arya, he loved Marshal and Harriet more, and he couldn't let
go of what he had now.
Estella was right. Even if Arya didn't admit it, she was still his daughter, which couldn't be changed.
There was no need to lose everything for his daughter who had no future.
He reached out and held Estella's hand. "You are right."
Upstairs, Xavier put Harriet down, but Harriet held his hand. "Don't go. Stay with me."
Xavier flicked her forehead. "Have you been pretending to be asleep?"
"No, I'm really sleeping. I just don't want you to go." Harriet sat up and rubbed her chest against Xavier,
holding his neck tightly.
Xavier looked down at her. He felt so calm that he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
'We had made love. But why couldn't I have a desire when I see her like this?'
He took a gentle breath and patted her on the back. "It's getting late. Go to bed."
Harriet looked at Xavier aggrievedly. "Don't you like me? You're with me only because I gave you my
virginity and you should be responsible for me, right? If you don't like me... I... I'll let you go..."
"What are you thinking?"
Xavier interrupted her, "Go to sleep."
Xavier was a little impatient and commanding her.
Harriet did not dare to continue, so she could only lie down obediently.
Xavier tugged at his collar impatiently. "I'll ask my family to pick a date and get the wedding done."
Harriet opened her eyes in disbelief, "Really?"
"Yes."
Xavier's affirmative answer made Harriet ecstatic.
She didn't expect good things to come so soon.
"Xavier, I love you!" Harriet kissed him.
He pushed Harriet away. "It's late today. I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything."
Without hearing Harriet's response, Xavier went out.
Downstairs, Estella saw Xavier coming down and immediately walked to him. "It's so late. Why don't
you stay for the night? I'll prepare a room for you."
"No, I have something else to do."
Xavier's tone was cold.
"Okay." Estella went to open the door.
But Richard stopped Xavier. He said bluntly, "Xavier, you and Harriet have been engaged for almost
three years. When are you going to get married?"
He sat on the sofa and did not move. No matter how capable Xavier was, he was still a junior in front of
him.
"What are you doing? Nowadays, young people enjoy their lives. Marriage is not urgent." But in fact,
Estella also wanted them to get married quickly.
It was only then that the matter was settled. If her daughter didn't get married, she would be always
anxious.
But she didn't dare to force Xavier. It should be him to bring it up first.
If they brought it up first, they would seem to be in a hurry.
"Xavier, don't listen to him. He is old. He thinks too much..."
"As for the marriage, I have already planned to ask my family to set a date. I can't tell you the exact
date yet."
