Xavier quickly finished eating, got up, and went to the bedroom.
Zena ate nervously and slowly because she wanted to stall for time. However, she got uneasier and uneasier.
Xavier said that he had something to say to her. What on earth was he going to say?
Suppressing the anxiety in heart, she waited until she finished the meal.
She stood up and encouraged herself in her heart before walking to the bedroom.
"Xavier..." Zena stood at the door and called him hesitantly.
Xavier was standing by the window. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at her. Then he nodded at her, "Zena, come here."
Zena walked over, stood in front of him and smiled at him awkwardly, "Xavier, you... said what you had something to say to me just now. Is that so?"
"Yes." Xavier thought for a while and then said, "Zena, I want..." He paused and coughed lightly, "Would you like to... postpone our wedding?"
As soon as Zena heard this, she panicked and her face turned pale. Even the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
It took a long while for her to come to her sense. She asked in a trembling voice, "Why... do you suddenly say this?"
If they didn't have sex last night, perhaps she would feel a little sad when she heard this. She would feel that he had abandoned her, and she would be mad and dissatisfied. But at the same time, the more she felt would be happiness, because she would have more time to chase after James...
However, they had sex last night, and she had thought a lot. She had decided to give up James and wanted to live a good life with Xavier. How could he make such a request?
Was it because he had been hurt by what she said yesterday?
"Is it..." She swallowed, "Is it because you're angry because of what I said last night?"
"No." Xavier shook his head gently.
"Then why?" Zena clenched her fists, "You're mad, aren't you? But... I apologized last night, didn't I? Please forgive me, okay?"
Looking at Zena, who suddenly became a little excited, Xavier sighed slightly and said, "Zena, listen to me first..."
"No!"
"Xavier, it was you who made a proposal, and I promised you. I may hurt you in some aspects, but... can't you forgive me this time for the sake that I have loved you for so many years?”
With tears in her eyes, Zena added, "My parents have been preparing for our wedding, and they have informed many of my relatives and friends. Now you want to change the date of the wedding. Have you... thought about my parents?"
It had been so many years, and he had got better, so why should she give up on him?
Xavier frowned slightly. After a while, he said softly, "I know all these. But Zena, marriage is a lifetime thing. I want both of us to think about it carefully. Isn't it responsible for ourselves in another sense?"
"Zena, you misunderstand me." Xavier pursed his lips, "I don't regret it."
"If you don't regret it, why did you say that?"
"I just..." He sighed heavily and decided to tell her the truth, "I have been thinking about what happened between us since last night. I don't think that my decision is not tight. In fact, it's for your own good, isn't it? If we get married, but I suddenly become the same as before, what should you do? At that time, even if you want to regret it, it's too late."
After listening to his words, Zena calmed down a little. She was touched, but she still did not want to give up, "No, you've got better. How can you become the same as before? Am I right?"
"Zena..."
Before he finished his words, Zena said in a hurry, "Xavier, don't be like this, okay? Although we haven't got the marriage certificate yet, my parents have told others that we will get married on National Day. They will be so embarrassed if you do this!"
The Meng family was a respectable family. Although changing the date of the wedding was different from breaking off an engagement, it was also disgraceful, and it would bring disgrace to her family.
"The invitation hadn't been sent out yet, so it's easy to handle this. I'll apologize to your parents personally."
Zena felt a chill in her heart, "So, you're determined to do this, right?"
Xavier was silent for a while, and then nodded, "Yes."
"Ha- ha..." Zena sneered, but she quickly stopped laughing. She looked at Xavier decisively and said, "Just now, you said that it is for my own good. Alright! We can make love now! If you can do what you did last night, it means that you are fully recovered. Then our wedding will be held on time. If you can't, you can change the date, or even break off the engagement. It's up to you!"
