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
Xavia naturally couldn’t ignore Dolly’s case either. In the past few months, she had been too preoccupied with her coma and the loss of Fabiola, so… she hadn’t really had the time to catch up with her best friend… Now that things were finally calm again, it was high time that she returned to Dolly’s side again! Thankfully, she soon found a free day in her schedule, and after nodding to herself, she gave her two best friends a text… “Dolly? Bianca? It’s been a while, so let’s hang out!” “I actually have yoga class this afternoon, so why don’t we head there together?” asked Bianca. “Sounds good. See you soon!” replied Dolly… When the day arrived, they spent four hours doing yoga, enjoying a warm bath in the hot springs, and even going for some facial treatment. It was true bliss… Upon taking a seat at the barbecue restaurant, the satisfied Dolly couldn’t help but say, “Now that’s what I call a relaxing day! Just a girl’s day out so we can continue looking as pretty and happy
Naturally, the two women nodded, and this prompted Dolly to sigh before muttering, “So… The thing is, I’ve always been different from you two… One of you is a Frankston, while the other is just as capable as her husband is… As for me… I’m literally just a regular person. No, I don’t have low self-esteem, but I am aware that I do not deserve my current position. I won’t deny that I fear the day that he grows bored of me, and I’ll be left with nothing…” “And it’s exactly because of that that I’ve been running a long-term plan to make myself better. The closer I am to his level, the better I’ll feel. I just really don’t want to be reduced to nothing but a clingy housewife, you know? Still, to think that he would grow suspicious of me because of my actions… I guess that just goes to show that he still loves me…” concluded Dolly. Raising a slight brow, Xavia muttered, “So that was your reasoning… Color me surprised. Still… at the end of the day, love is love, and social standing won’t g
Getting out of the car, Zivon replied, “Explain? Honey, I’m just here to remind you three to be more careful… Remember, it’s night time…” Though relieved to hear that, Xavia eventually muttered, “You’re… not mad…?” “Why should I be? Even if you did lie a little, you probably had your reasons, right?” replied Zivon, causing Xavia’s eyes to widen. “You… You genuinely trust me…” “Why shouldn’t I? It certainly helps that I know that you hate bars and you’d never lie without a good reason,” explained Zivon, further melting Xavia’s heart. Hugging him tightly, Xavia replied, “…Thank you for being such an understanding husband…” Following that, the two continued hugging for a while… and in the end, Zivon finally said, “Alright, your friends are probably waiting for you…” Shaking her head, Xavia replied, “We’ve already had our talk, and with how fine my husband is, it wouldn’t make sense not to follow him home…” “…You sure about that?” asked Zivon, who didn’t want her to feel li
Moving back to Zayne, he ended up thinking about what Dolly had said for the longest time… but in the end, he still chose to meet up with Zivon to talk about it one morning. However, before he could even make it into the main building, he was suddenly hugged by a tiny figure who exclaimed, “Marry me, Uncle Zayne!” Understandably shocked, Zayne then looked down… and to his surprise, it was Fabiola! It took him a while, but he eventually replied, “…Um… I’m already married, though you could marry Neal in the future…” “I’ll marry him, then! I’ll marry him today!” exclaimed Fabiola, further leaving Zayne speechless. Just what was going on in this girl’s head? Thankfully, he didn’t need to wonder long as Xavia soon came running toward them while yelling, “There you are! Fabiola, marrying someone won’t stop you from having to go to school!” “…She… just doesn’t want to attend school?” Feeling awkward, Xavia muttered, “…Yeah… She spent way too much time on that island and now she re
‘I’ve emailed you the contract, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask, Young Master Burton.’ ‘It’s rainy today, so be sure to keep warm, alright?’ ‘Fell into a ditch and my legs hurt… Have a look at how bruised they look…’ ‘I hope you don’t find my messages annoying… My boss told me to keep in touch with you so… Yeah. If I’m too annoying, feel free to continue ignoring me…’ …It was clear that she was trying to woo him, and she could already feel a headache coming. Seeing that, Zivon then said, “Don’t worry, I still made sure that all my staff can only be men. She’s only in the picture because she’s one of our partner company’s suppliers. I’ve never even met her before.” Pleased to hear that, Xavia took a deep breath before replying, “…Well, I should expect this much given how wonderful my husband is… Don’t worry, I know you can handle her yourself.” Smiling in response, Zivon then blocked that woman’s number as he said, “Thank you… Also, I’ll be telling my busine
Fast forward to some time later, it was raining heavily, and Zivon ultimately felt that it would be wiser to just stay at the lab rather than risk getting into an accident. Just as he was about to close the front door behind him, however, he realized that there was a woman trying her best to stay out of the rain by sticking as close to the wall as possible… By this point, she was thoroughly drenched, and her clothes clung to her voluptuous body from every angle… but even so, Zivon didn’t even bat an eyelid and simply continued heading back inside. Alas, before he could properly close the door, she ran up to him and said, “H-hey! I’m drenched to the bone, so at least lend me an umbrella…! Also… If you don’t mind, could I lend your lab’s bathroom…?” Barely even glancing at her, Zivon replied, “Only employees are allowed into the lab. Also, if you want to have a shower, go bathe in the rain.” Naturally, his response caught her off guard! How icy! Clenching her fists, she quickly s
