Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 146

Xavier did not intend to bring Ryan back to the Jones's now. First, he was afraid that Ryan would not

get used to the life there. Second, he wanted to be alone with Ryan.

Ryan was Arya's son. When Xavier saw Ryan, Xavier would think of Arya.

He would fantasize about how she looked when she was pregnant with Ryan. Xavier would feel very

warm.

Although Xavier didn't see Arya suffer in prison then, he knew what a hard life she lived.

He wanted to thank her for not giving up on Ryan and bringing him into this world.

On the way, thinking of Ryan's illness, Xavier became more and more dejected. He found his cell

phone and called Edward, asking him to come to the villa.

Xavier just knew a little about Ryan's illness before. Now he wanted to know all about it.

After a while, Edward arrived at the villa. He saw Xavier sitting opposite him with an inquisitive look in

the eyes.

"What the hell is going on? Your sperm was stolen?"

Edward was as shocked as he was when the test result came out. "You know what? I couldn't believe

the result back then. I have tested your and Ryan's blood fifty times. How could this be possible? How

could Ryan be your son?"

However, Xavier was not in the mood to explain.

It was enough that he knew how this happened.

Xavier warned Edward seriously. "Don't tell others about this."

Xavier planned to find a proper way to tell this to Ryan, afraid that he would not be able to accept it at

once. After all, it was too sudden.

Edward coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. In order to please Bridget, he told Bridget Xavier's

private affairs. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

This time, he was warned by Xavier. He seemed to be considered gossipy.

Edward said seriously, "OK, I even won't say this to Bridget."

Xavier lit a cigarette and tried to calm himself down. "Tell me about Ryan's illness?"

Edward nodded solemnly. He had tried his best to cure Ryan now, not only because he wanted to

chase after Bridget, but also because he was Xavier's close friend.

He had to do whatever he could to cure Ryan.

Xavier stood up and asked Edward to go upstairs with him. They walked into the bedroom. Ryan was

sleeping on the bed. His face was red and his eyebrows were knitted. He looked like he wasn't

sleeping well.

Standing by the bed, Edward pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Knowing that Ryan was

Xavier's son, Edward had a different feeling when he saw Ryan.

Just as Edward was about to have a check-up on Ryan, Ryan woke up and looked blankly at Xavier.

"Who is this man?"

Ryan was highly on guard perhaps because there was no family around him.

Xavier saw the emotional change in Ryan's eyes very clearly. Xavier knew it was a sign of distrust.

Xavier could understand it. Ryan had no kinsfolk around him and lived under someone else's roof. At

this moment, he must feel uneasy.

Xavier picked Ryan up and comforted him. "He comes here to have a check-up on you. Only if you're

healthy can we wait for your mommy to come back together."

When Xavier mentioned Arya, his voice became especially soft.

Ryan blinked as he looked at Edward. Ryan thought that Edward was thin and had distinct facial

features. Ryan also found that Edward was gentle, comely, and had an unreadable look in his eyes.

Ryan thought Edward was a simple-minded man.

But Edward was not simple-minded at all. He just would do foolish things in front of Bridget.

Edward also gazed at Ryan. He tried to find the similarity between Ryan and Xavier.

He didn't notice it before. But now, when he looked at Ryan's face carefully, he really found that Ryan

and Xavier looked alike.

But Ryan was thin because of his illness.

So, if one didn't look at Ryan carefully, he wouldn't find that Ryan and Xavier looked alike.

To prevent Ryan from disliking him, Edward tried to get closer to Ryan. "I'm a friend of your mommy.

She invited me to have a check-up on you."

"You know my mommy?"

Hearing that Edward was invited by Arya, Ryan immediately became energetic and active. "Do you

know where my mommy went?"

Edward didn't know what to say.

Edward felt helpless and turned to look at Xavier. He just wanted to get close to Ryan. He didn't expect

that Ryan would ask Arya's whereabouts.

Edward felt like he was lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot.

Xavier took a warning look at Edward. It seemed that Xavier was warning Edward to watch his mouth in

front of Ryan.

"I…"

Edward wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

This topic was clearly brought up by Ryan.

Edward thought that it was not his fault.

"Why don't you tell me where my mommy went?" Ryan kept asking.

He hadn't seen Mom for two days.

Edward felt helpless. Jacob just told him that Arya had disappeared. "When you get better, your

mommy will come back."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

This time, it was Xavier who answered. He said this because he firmly believed that Arya would come

back safe and sound.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ryan let Edward have a check-up on him. Because there was not

good equipment here, Edward said, "Go to my place tomorrow."

His house had advanced medical equipment.

Xavier said yes. He felt restless when he thought about Ryan's illness.

***

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month passed. There was no news of Arya. Xavier became more and

more irritable. He only smiled in front of Ryan.

Even Jacob felt uneasy every day. Jacob was afraid that he would accidentally provoke Xavier.

Jacob was also afraid that Xavier would vent his anger on him.

All the staff in the Jones Group gave a wide berth to Xavier when they saw Xavier, afraid of being fired.

One morning, Xavier held Ryan in his arms as he went into the company. All the staff wore no surprise

on their faces, because they had been used to it.

When Xavier brought Ryan to the company for the first time, everyone was shocked with their mouth

wide open and gossiped about Ryan's identity, but no one dared to ask him.

Xavier was unmarried, which was known to all in W City.

He even had annulled his engagement at the end of last year. Now, he was a bachelor.

Xavier had almost always brought Ryan with him since Arya went missing.

He knew that Arya was more likely to be in danger as time went by. He could only calm down when he

looked at Ryan.

During this period, Xavier felt very bad. He often couldn't sleep all night. His mind was crowded with

everything about Arya, including her expressions and words.

Ryan was used to staying with Xavier. He was willing to accept what Xavier gave him.

When Xavier was dealing with business, Ryan stayed by his side quietly.

He felt that Xavier had changed, though he couldn't tell its details.

Jacob, who was working, received a phone call…
