Chapter 64
Harriet pursed her lips tightly without saying a word.
Xavier tugged at his collar impatiently. He wanted to get along well with her, but he was always in a bad
mood because of her family.
He said softly. "I have something else to do."
With that, he got up and was about to leave.
Harriet stepped forward and hugged him with her face pressed against his back.
"Xavier, do you know how much I love you?"
Xavier froze. Just as he was about to get rid of Harriet's hands, Harriet hugged him even tighter.
"I know I'm not good enough, and so are my family. They're insatiable and had no moral line ... But no
matter what, they're all my family. I can't ignore them. They gave birth to me and raised me. I know that
you must be unhappy when I say this to you. But Xavier, if I don't care about them, I am not a good
daughter."
Harriet suppressed her emotions. She had a sobbing tone but she didn't shed a single tear.
She knew that holding her tears back would soften a man's heart more.
Xavier felt sympathetic because of her words.
"I didn't want you to be unfilial. A woman who is not filial doesn't deserve to be my wife. But I have my
bottom line. Others can't step across it."
Xavier still didn't make a compromise. He hated Estella from the bottom of his heart.
"Harriet, if you feel wronged by following me, you can leave at any time. You can ask me for Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
compensation and I'll give you anything I can."
Harriet shuddered involuntarily. Xavier's words, which seemed to be good to her, actually indicated that
he wanted to annul the engagement for marriage.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing when the divorce was imminent.
Harriet was afraid that he would really break off the marriage.
"When we slept with each other accidentally that night, I thought of you as the only man in my life..."
Harriet let go of Xavier and stepped backward step by step, tears in her eyes.
"I've been with you for four years. Even if you never proposed marriage to me, I'm willing to follow you
all the time. I'm satisfied even if I can just stay by your side."
Xavier pursed his lips tightly and looked at Harriet's heartbroken appearance. The expression on his
face changed.
This woman had been with him for four years, and he had never loved her with all his heart.
It was not that he didn't want to.
It was just that Harriet couldn't give him the feeling he needed.
Harriet continued, clutched her chest with tears in her eyes. "Once I am in love with you, I can't take it
back."
At this point, she choked and continued, "The whole of W City knows that I'm yours. If the wedding
doesn't go on as planned, what will others think of me? They will think I'm a leftover that was thrown
away after being used..."
"Enough!"
Xavier pulled her into his arms. "I just said a few words, but you have so much to talk about."
"You don't understand me." Harriet hugged Xavier tightly. "My body, my soul, and my whole life only
belong to you. I won't be remarried. If you really don't want me one day, I won't marry anyone else. But
I will still bless you, even if I am sorrowful."
Xavier rubbed her hair. His expression changed. It was as if he was really struggling in his heart.
In the end, his heart softened.
This was his first woman. She had given him indelible experiences mentally and physically.
Compared with Harriet, Arya was impure and she even left him after she got what she wanted.
'Arya means nothing to me compared with Harriet.'
He must be crazy to want to keep such a wretched woman by his side and even want to marry her.
"Xavier, don't turn your back on me." Harriet buried her face in Xavier's arms.
"When did I say I will give up on you, huh?"
Harriet looked up and kissed Xavier on the lips. "Maybe it's because I love you too much that I tend to
be swayed by considerations of gain and loss."
"Idiot!"
Harriet was not talking about the company again. She could tell that Xavier had already made his
decision on this matter.
In order to marry into the Jones Family smoothly, she could only not mention it.
Harriet hugged Xavier and said coquettishly. "Do you love me?"
Xavier's expression froze.
He was confused about what love was now.
How did it feel to love someone?
Perhaps the beauty that Harriet had once brought to him, which he could not forget, was love.
Just as Xavier was about to answer, Harriet's phone rang.
Harriet hated this inappropriate call much.
But in front of Xavier, she couldn't show her dissatisfaction at all.
She smiled gently at Xavier. "I'll answer the call."
Xavier nodded and let go of her, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.
He couldn't understand why he felt so relieved now.
"What? Which hospital?" Harriet's voice suddenly rose. "Okay, I got it. I'll go there right now."
"What happened?" Xavier asked.
"My dad suddenly fainted. I have to go to the hospital now." This was a good time to develop her
relationship with Xavier. She really couldn't bear to leave, but Estella seemed to be very anxious, and
she must show her filial piety in front of Xavier.
"I'll send you there." Xavier put the cigarette out into the ashtray.
Harriet didn't expect Xavier to take the initiative to send her to the hospital. She was so overjoyed that
she nodded eagerly. "Okay."
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital.
Walking through the corridor, Harriet and Xavier came to the ward.
Just as Harriet was about to open the door, Richard's roar came from inside. "That unfilial girl, she goes
against me when she just gets out of prison. She even forced me to step down with her shares today. I
really hate that I didn't strangle her when she was born!"
"How did she get the shares in the K&T Inc?" Estella was puzzled.
"That rebellious girl, she actually..."
"Dad!"
Harriet's face turned pale and she interrupted Richard in a hurry.
Seeing the two people standing at the door, Richard and Estella were stunned. Richard was still angry.
Estella reacted first and greeted them with a smile. "Xavier is here too."
Xavier disliked Estella much without any disguise. He said to Harriet, "I have something else to do, so
I'll go now."
When Xavier left, Estella felt humiliated. "What does he mean?"
Harriet was in no mood to answer Estella. Now she was worried that Xavier had just heard Richard's
words.
They had always kept Arya a secret from the Jones Family.
If Xavier found any clue about what was going on, the good impression she just left on Xavier, which
she employed all her skills to save, would be ruined again.
Maybe even the marriage would be ruined.
In any case, Arya was a member of the Harrison Family. She had been in prison and could harm the
image of the Harrison Family.
Both Xavier and Daisy had made one thing clear.
The woman who would marry into the Jones Family in the future must have a clean family background.
Moreover, Estella was a mistress back then and she became Richard's wife after forcing Richard's
original wife to die. This was already a stain on her reputation.
If the Jones Family knew about it, they would definitely be despised by the Jones Family.
"Dad, you just said that Arya was out of prison and you have already seen her?"
Estella remembered Richard's words and now she even forgot that Xavier ignored her. She chipped in,
"What's going on with the shares?"
