‘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
It was later that day when Zivon approached Xavia and said, “Why didn’t you tell me about that woman? I could’ve told the mall’s security to toss her right out!” Chuckling in response, Xavia replied, “No worries… A woman like her could never steal my husband…” Calming down a little when he heard that, Zivon then said, “…Well, you’re right about that… I only have one wife, and she’ll always be you…” …What a cheesy man… Leaning against his shoulder, Xavia sighed before muttering, “Hey, honey? Why are mistresses impossible to get rid of?” Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “Because love needs to be deep. It just goes to show that the world has too few people who genuinely love each other. Also, you don’t need to worry about me getting a mistress since most of the women who approach me aren’t even worthy of being dogs in my eyes.” …Okay, though that was a little rude, she couldn’t help but admire his dedication toward her… Either way, it was the next morning when Xavia was g
Soon enough, he was in his usual lab coat, and as he was working on his new project, he heard his curious co-worker ask, “What’s that, Professor? I don’t think I saw anything like it in our project list…” Not even bothering to glance back, he indifferently replied, “A little personal project.” …Oh? Now everyone was even more curious! “…You know, if you’re working so diligently on it, we at least know who you’re making it for…” “Right? Mrs. Burton sure is a lucky woman! I wonder if it’s her birthday or anniversary…” Raising a slight brow, Zivon eventually looked up and replied, “…Do you all want to work overtime?” Naturally, nobody wanted that, and they awkwardly bowed before hurrying off, causing the lab to fall silent once more… As the brilliant mind continued working tirelessly on the project, Xavia herself was busy organizing her work with Bianca and Dolly’s help. Eventually, Dolly couldn’t help but ask, “…Honestly, why the big rush? It’s not like you have anniversar
After getting out of the car, Xavia told him to look the other way… and seconds later, he felt Xavia’s hands covering his eyes. He didn’t question it, and after being led for a while, he heard Xavia say, “Alright… I hope you like the surprise…” Following that, she removed her hands, revealing a large, brilliant structure that almost seemed to glow… and at the very top, the words, ‘Xanon World’ were presented in gold-plating… How had such a massive project gone unnoticed by him this entire time?! Especially when he was so close to this place! Sensing his confusion, Xavia explained, “So… I had a little help from Chace for this. Basically, I had him block out all news about this place for the longest time, but putting that aside, you should know that I designed every inch of this place! Come on, I’ll give you a tour!” While listening to her explanation, Zivon couldn’t help but smile wider and wider… After all, he couldn’t imagine just how much thought and love she had put into mak
It took him a while, but he eventually rubbed his temples before muttering, “…I know I told you to always strive for the best, but… Is this really where you should be putting your time into…?” Chuckling in response, Xavia replied, “Sorry, but I’m afraid you’re still not aware of my genius… See, this heart-shaped glass building has a height of exactly nine-hundred and ninety-nine meters, which makes it the tallest building in the world! Even Chace told me that this building is record worthy, so… As my lover and teacher, don’t tell me you’re still dissatisfied after witnessing such a grand feat…?” Squinting slightly, Zivon pulled Xavia close before saying, “…Are you sure you want to be this cheeky with your professor…? Hmm…? Looks like a little punishment is in order…” Just like that, his lips were already on hers, and Xavia found her eyes widening! To think that he’d kiss her out of the blue! Well… Whatever. After rolling her eyes, she then began returning the kiss… And by the t
Watching as all that happened from below, Zayne couldn’t help but mutter, “…Can we leave yet?” “I am, at least. The last thing I want is to disrupt their romantic moment,” replied Bianca as she began walking off. Upon hearing that, Chace quickly ran up to her and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a surprise on our anniversary too! I won’t be outdone by other lovers that easily!” Rolling her eyes, Bianca replied, “As long as it’s a gift from the heart, anything is fine.” Being the businessman he was, Chace had always given her opulent gifts such as luxurious yachts and even helicopters! However, none of them really felt like they were given with much thought about her… She’d rather have something simple but heartfelt… Sensing how unimpressed she was, Chace then said, “…You know I’m a businessman, not an inventor like Zivon, right…? Maybe I should pick up a trick or two from him…” “Sounds good. I’ll be waiting then,” replied Bianca, leaving Chace slightly speechless. That had
The more she thought about it, however, the more she realized that Zayne had… changed. Sure, he was nowhere as great as Zivon was, but… compared to before, Zayne was no longer the carefree man that she used to know. At the end of the day, she was the only one who had barely improved after all this time… Since she wasn’t replying, Zayne couldn’t help but smile helplessly as he added, “…What? Have you given up on loving me…?” Upon hearing that, Dolly simply shook her head. After all, that wasn’t the case at all… She simply felt like that was a slowly increasing distance between them, but… She didn’t know how to put it into words. Even if she could, she felt that saying it would only make it seem like she was overreacting… At the end of the day, weren’t all lovers meant to slowly drift away like this? Well, almost all… Zivon and Xavia had the real deal. Since she still wasn’t replying, Zayne eventually muttered, “…Look, I don’t know if you think that I’ve been ignoring you on purp
