Chapter 391
Though Edward was stubborn, he was gentle. Demi was so considerate that he didn't know what to do
with her.
If Demi quarreled with him, he could make use of her unreasonably troublesome to ignore her and just
leave.
But from that wedding day until now, she had never questioned him. She stayed at home quietly and
served the family without complaining. Demi really was a qualified wife.
" Edward, did I do anything wrong?" Demi asked with watery eyes.
Edward shook his head and said. "No, I'm just going back to deal with some things. I'll be back. I won't
leave you behind." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Demi smiled and took his hand, saying, "I'll help you pack your clothes."
Mrs. Collins had a headache. She couldn't understand why Demi did this. Demi absolutely knew
Edward loved Bridget. Why did she allow him to go?
"Demi, you just got married. He can't leave."
"Mom, he will come back. He won't leave you and dad, and he won't leave me." Demi said affirmatively.
Demi had already said so, so Mrs. Collins could only agree.
Edward was almost dragged upstairs by Demi. She took out his clothes from the cabinet to pack his
suitcase.
"How long will you stay there? I will pack up enough clothes for you." Demi asked as she took the
clothes.
Edward stood by the bed and looked at Demi's back. Ever since he returned home alone, no one had
done anything for him like this. Most of the time, he took care of himself.
Hearing no answer, Demi looked back at him. "Why don't you answer me? How long will you stay
there? If it takes too long, I'll get you some thick clothes."
Edward shook his head and said, "Don't take too many clothes."
He was in a dilemma at the moment. He didn't love Demi, but he couldn't hurt her and let her down.
Demi lowered her head and folded his clothes seriously.
She could already feel that Edward had wavered.
At least, he would never stay at home and not come back.
Edward took the plane back home on the same day.
In the WS Group.
Arya came very early. Daisy and Bridget took care of Ramona and Ryan, so she didn't have to worry
about them.
The car was parked in the company's parking lot. Arya got out of the car.
"Mrs. Jones." Officer YANG walked towards her.
Arya was stunned, not expecting him to appear here so early.
"I'm a little anxious." Officer YANG smiled.
Arya understood his mood and said, "Let's go up together."
Officer YANG stopped her and added, "Wait, I have something to tell you."
Arya looked at him and said, "Let's talk upstairs."
Officer YANG looked around and saw no one around. He continued, "I want to arrange two people in
your company. Don't worry. It doesn't mean anything else. It's just for investigation."
Arya understood what Officer YANG meant. If Liam agreed to her conditions, he would use the
company to transport contraband. If there were two undercover agents in the company, the police
would find out the hidden route of Liam's illegal transportation.
Arya nodded. "Okay."
Officer YANG nodded and waved to his car. The two officers in the car saw his gesture and got out of
the car, walking over quickly.
"Officer YANG."
Officer YANG nodded and said to Arya, "They will be your bodyguards from now on, at your disposal."
Arya understood his meaning and nodded slightly, saying, "Let's go up."
The group of people walked into the hall and went up the elevator to the top floor. When they got
upstairs, Arya asked Jacob to lead two bodyguards around the building. After all, they were her
bodyguards. If they didn't know the environment around her, they would arouse suspicion.
Officer YANG looked at Arya and said, "You're very thoughtful."
"I just don't want anything bad to happen." She turned to look at Officer YANG. "I hope this time we can
succeed, not fail."
It would be difficult to catch Liam if they didn't collect effective evidence in one fell swoop.
Officer YANG looked serious and said, "Mrs. Jones, don't worry. We've been setting this up for a long
time. Although it's not foolproof, it's also an 80% success rate."
The remaining 20% was the accident.
In a meticulous trap, there would be loopholes.
So he didn't dare to be overconfident.
Arya asked the secretary to serve the two glasses of water. She pushed open the heavy office door,
walked to the table, opened the door with a password lock, and took out what Bella had given her from
the drawer. She put it on the table in front of Officer YANG.
Officer YANG reached out and put it in his pocket, saying, "Wait quietly for the result these two days.
She will definitely be able to convince Liam."
To avoid being eavesdropped on, Officer YANG did not mention Bella.
At this moment, the secretary came in with glasses of water.
Arya handed the water to Officer YANG, and Officer YANG took it. Instead of drinking, he put it on the
table and said, "I have something to deal with. I have to go back now."
It must be very important because Bella took the risk of being discovered to deliver it. He had to go to
the police station right now.
Arya knew that he was busy and did not ask him to stay. The door in the office closed and the
surroundings quieted down instantly.
Arya held the cup in both hands and drank slowly.
The water was tasteless. But Arya felt it bitter. The water was bitter.
She looked down at the ring at her finger. Thinking of what Xavier had said while he was putting the
ring on her finger, she took it off and pinched it between her fingers under the sun.
The diamond was very shiny and crystal clear. The platinum circle could just circle her finger.
Inadvertently, she found a small mark inside the ring. She took it in and looked carefully.
"At first."
This ring was obtained by Xavier at an auction. The designer of this ring was a foreigner and it was the
last work of his design career.
His wife and children died in the fire, leaving him alone. When he lost his family, he always recalled all
the things that happened with his wife. In that case, he designed this ring.
The first lover, the first dream, the first self, and the first feeling were all the purest and flawless. If life
was still the same as when they first met, or everything would go back to the beginning, there wouldn't
be so much regret.
When Xavier won the bidding, he didn't want to give it to anyone. He simply liked the design of the ring.
After that, the ring lay in his safe box.
But then, he met Arya.
For the first time, he knew what love was, what crush meant, and how he felt as a father.
Arya did not know the origin of this ring, nor did she know its meaning. When seeing these two words,
a lump came into her throat.
The first half of her life had been dark. Before she went to jail and her mother died, she had also been
like a normal girl who had dreams and yearned for love.
When Estella brought the twins in, it completely changed her fate.
After experiencing those injuries and pains, all she had in her life was hatred until she met Xavier.
Although she had a purpose at first, Xavier later let her know what love was and warmed her cold heart
with his life…
