Zivon had a pretty good guess that that was going to be her answer. He, for one, had chosen that option as well. However… He didn’t exactly like being led by the nose like this. With that, he glared at Alma while growling, “You asked us to apologize before this, and now you want us to do something else. How sure can we be that you’ll keep your part of the deal once we’ve done what you asked? Release the kids if you want to garner our trust!” Sneering in response, Alma scoffed, “Do you really think I’m that stupid, Young Master Burton?” “If you think I’ll try something funny, then do know that I’d never gamble with my kids’ lives. So what if we admit something shameful? As long as I can take my children home safely, that’s a win for me. Also, the kids have seen their fair share of things, so they can prove whether Xav and I are telling the truth.” …Wait, so he was going to declare something shameful? Something that’d ruin his reputation? If so, that’d definitely put Jenna in a bet

“As you can imagine, several people ended up pitying her, and I’m sure this is just her way of trying to make a comeback. That heartless that bitch truly is a great actress…!” Though she could understand where Dolly was coming from, she felt slightly hesitant to think that way. After all, if she had truly treated Alma that kindly, then there was a chance that her grief was genuine, right? After thinking about it for a while, Xavia shook her head and muttered, “Speaking of which, how has the internet responded to Von and I?” Upon hearing that, the two simply looked at each other without saying a word. That was enough to signify that the situation was unpleasant. Then again, it was kind of expected. After all, they had initially claimed that they had yet to sleep together, so now that everyone knew that they had copulated before Jenna’s marriage, gossip was surely going to crop up… Realizing that Xavia had caught on, Dolly was quick to console, “…Let’s not worry about that first. O

‘I really can’t bear to continue watching this drama…’ Though none of the commenters directly said it, it was clear that they all thought that Xavia was reluctant to move on, even after everything that Alma had done. It didn’t help that they now knew about Xavia’s initial affair, and her reputation had sunk lower than ever… Even so, Xavia didn’t care about that right now. What surprised her, however, was how Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart reacted to her the second she arrived at the hospital! “Why the hell are you here, you misfortune bringer!” “Your father and I put ourselves down for you! But what did you do?! You ignored us and eventually got us hospitalized! But that wasn’t enough, huh?! You had to pull Jen into this?!” “Just because we didn’t raise you up, that doesn’t mean we should be treated this way!” “Are you only going to be satisfied once we’re dead?! You ungrateful brat!” “Get out! We won’t ever ask for your help from now on, no matter how rich and famous you become!

“It’s not like that. It’s just… While I did love Maison before, I just feel the need to go the extra mile now that I know that you’re their mother…” Upon hearing that, Xavia’s heart rate instantly skyrocketed. Was he seriously saying such things when they hadn’t even cleared up their past mishap yet…? It took her a while, but she eventually asked, “…Aren’t you mad at all…?” Her question prompted Zivon’s gaze to darken a little. How could he be angry? After all, he was the reason that she and Yulia had suffered so much in the first place. With that in mind, he patted her on the head before muttering, “…No need to bring that up anymore. Don’t worry, I’ll be responsible for you and our children from now on…” He’d make sure to make up for all that lost time by doing his best for them from here on out. Shaking his head, he then walked off to wash some fruits, leaving Xavia with a slight frown. …Why did it seem like he had something else to say…? He had specifically mentioned his res

Raising a slight brow, Zivon then turned to look at her before asking, “…What on earth are you even talking about?” Unable to hold back any longer, Xavia replied, “…Well… You never continued asking about the past… In fact, you’ve actively been stopping me from trying to explain myself! Because of that, I’m assuming that you’re only keeping me around because you like Yulia a lot and you want to be a good father to her… I… I don’t want you to treat me like how you treated Jenna back then…” “Please don’t keep me around if that’s how you currently feel… I don’t want to be traded in with another woman in the future who manages to touch your heart…” concluded the upset woman, prompting Zivon to frown. “…What exactly have I done this time to make you misunderstand this badly…?” “J-just call it a woman’s intuition…” With how aggrieved she looked, Zivon couldn’t help but hold her tight as he replied, “Now you’re just spouting poppycock… Head to bed or I’ll really give you a reason to
