Sniffling in response, Fabiola then looked up… and when she saw the black wig with ribbons on it, her eyes instantly widened! What a beautiful wig…! Smiling when he saw her expression, Zivon then gently attached it to her head before saying, “Like it? If you don’t, Daddy has many other designs…” Smiling widely when she saw herself in the mirror, Fabiola replied, “No… This is perfect… I… I finally have nice hair again…!” Fighting the urge to purse his lips, Zivon smiled subtly as he patted the pitiful child’s head… Oh, if only he could take back all the pain inflicted onto her… Shaking his head, he then turned to look at Yulia before saying, “…Would you like one too, Yulia?” It was clear to Xavia that Zivon was doing this not only because he knew Yulia would like the idea, but also because he didn’t want Fabiola to feel left out for being different… This man truly was on a whole other level… Fast forward to a few days later, it was already New Year’s Eve, and snow had nearly
Once dinner was over, everyone headed to the balcony to enjoy the fireworks… and as expected, it was a truly glorious sight. Looking at how excited the children were, Xavia couldn’t help but smile… but shortly after, she felt a hand touching her shoulder. That warm, familiar hand of her charming man… Maybe it was the wine, but he looked extra perfect tonight… and in the end, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…You’re getting more handsome by the day, you know…?” Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “…How am I supposed to react to that, hmm…?” Chuckling slightly, Xavia then said, “No need to… I’m just stating the truth… I really love you, you know…?” Zivon did, and he couldn’t help but smile as he stared at his beautiful wife… Kissing her on the cheek, Zivon then asked, “Speaking of which, I recall you had your eyes on a pink necklace while we were out shopping with the family yesterday… Did you get it?” Shaking her head, Xavia replied, “Nope. Sure, it was beautiful, but jewelr
Regardless, though the fireworks were scheduled to continue way past midnight, the kids were already starting to get sleepy, so Xavia made sure to take the kids back to their rooms… but before putting them into bed, she handed out some red packets to them and said, “Here, kids… Your new year gifts…” Since Frank and Fabiola were still relatively young, they honestly had no real concept of the importance of this tradition yet… and in the end, they simply exchanged glances before asking, “Um… What is this for, actually…? Is there something special with the money today…?” Chuckling in response, Xavia then cleared her throat before saying, “Once upon a time, there was a small demon who would always attack kids on New Year’s Eve… So to stop that mean demon from having its way anymore, we now give out money since it seems to be afraid of good fortune…” “Yeah! To be extra safe, consider putting the packets under our pillows! That way, we’ll be one hundred percent safe!” added Yulia, prom
Though Zivon made sure not to work throughout the New Year, that didn’t mean that he remained idle. If anything, he was extra busy since he made sure to spend every second that he had with his family… and in the end, it was only on the ninth day after New Year that he finally replied to Zayne’s missed call. “Sorry, why’d you call back then?” Squinting slightly, Zayne replied, “…Have you forgotten our annual New Year gathering? The one you attend without fail before all this? Seriously, I know family is important but come on…” Though it was true that they had always hung out like that every new year in the past, Zivon eventually replied, “…Are we still not friends even if I miss out on our little meeting? Besides, you two are married as well, so spend more time with your families… We can just meet if something comes up.” …What? Was he seriously suggesting that they only met whenever there was an emergency?! Dolly was one thing, but Zivon too?! Now increasingly irked, Zayne rubbe
After putting the karaoke mic aside, Zayne got to his feet before saying, “…Alright, let’s start the little game… Everyone, put your phones on the table. If any of your wives call you, then you may leave.” Raising a slight brow, Jacob replied, “…I’m not even married yet-” “Then just stay and observe,” interrupted Zayne, leaving Jacob slightly speechless. Why the hell was he even invited, then?! Zivon himself, who usually headed home on his own without waiting for Xavia to call, was prompted to ask, “Why are we doing this again?” “Indeed! And here I was expecting something fun!” grumbled Chace, prompting Zayne to chuckle before saying, “I just wanted to see whether I’d be the loser in the end, that’s all…” …Wait… Was he having problems with his wife? Was this what it was all about? Following a long sigh, Chace muttered, “…You’re only hurting yourself more by doing this, you know? After all, Bianca gets antsy whenever I come home late now…” “Tiffany has gotten a lot clingie
After drinking another glass of wine, Zayne finally added, “Honestly, I’ve already asked several other men about this, and… it seems that all of them are in the same boat as we are. Basically, though our wives may have wanted our full attention at the start, once the kids came into the picture… Well, we’ll practically be nothing to them if this goes on. Makes you wonder whether the marriage was for us or for the kids…” “…You’re exaggerating.” “Right? Just as Zivon said, they’re probably being extra lenient since they know who we’re hanging around with…” Upon hearing that, Zayne replied, “You don’t know that? Regardless, since things have come to this, let’s make a bet to see whether they still care or not!” Before the others could ask what he meant, he called in a group of beauties and handed them some glasses… and once that was done, he took a video of them together before posting it online! “Now, we wait,” said Zayne with a chuckle, much to the dismay of all the other men.
Though Xavia had earlier been wide awake, her sleepiness was quickly catching up to her, and after a yawn, she was prompted to reply, “Weren’t you out with Zayne and the rest…? If it’s anything else, can it wait till tomorrow…? Also, hold on, you’re not in your pajamas yet… Since that’s the case, could you check if the kids are still tucked in? I’m too lazy to get up by this point…” …Just as Zayne had said, it seemed she only prioritized the kids… Displeased, he nodded before heading off to the children’s room… He assumed that he had made his icy aura apparent, but… Upon returning to his room, he found her fast asleep! Wasn’t this a bit too much?! Fast forward to the next day, Xavia began taking the kids to various schools… and once noon came, she brought them to an amusement park and said, “Alright, this is your reward for being so patient. However, I still want both of you to consider which kindergarten you want to attend once we get home, alright…?” Too excited to even hide
Upon hearing that, Zivon felt his heart skip a beat. That was right… He had completely forgotten about that video! Still… She looked genuinely mad now, so… Feeling much more relieved now, Zivon replied, “…I have nothing to be guilty about since it was just a bet made by Zayne.” “You seriously expect me to believe that when the video was posted after midnight? Also, why didn’t you just leave earlier then, hmm?” snapped Xavia who genuinely hated the idea of him being around such whores. To her annoyance, however, Zivon simply laughed as he replied, “Really… Why couldn’t you have noticed that video earlier…? I would’ve appreciated it if you stormed right into the room yesterday…” “…Do you think I’m a shrew or something? Regardless, I guess it’s your right to have fun with such women, so go on! Have more fun with them!” grumbled Xavia as she got up to leave. Grabbing her hand, Zivon replied, “The kids are still here, you know? What’s more, you’ll only be setting a bad example for
