Following that, he lifted her in his arms, prompting Xavia to instantly lose her balance! Just as she was trying to regain her bearings, she was tossed onto the bed! Looking incredibly pale as she stared at the handsome man before her, the panicked woman was quick to exclaim, “U-um…! M-my stomach and head hurt…! Ow…!”
As she tried to make him buy it by clinging onto her stomach, Zivon narrowed his eyes as he replied, “Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to be bothered by me since you assumed I cared that much for Sophia? With that in mind, what makes you think I’d care if you pretended to be sick now?”
…He… was talking about this again…? Just the thought of it made Xavia’s heart sting…
Earlier in the day, she kept telling herself how pitiful she was for having a boyfriend accompany another woman while she was suffering all alone in this ward. It was due to that immense anger that she had scolded him and told him to stay away… Now that she had some time to calm down, however, she really didn’t want him to continue misunderstanding her…
Either way, Xavia’s silence prompted Zivon to gently brush her messy hair behind her ears as he said, “…I admit that I haven’t cared for you enough recently… Also, I only danced with her yesterday so that the paparazzi wouldn’t have a field day. She had also agreed to allow me to leave within half an hour, so that was just a sign of my gratitude. Regardless, though you have every right to be angry, I have to say that you’re managing your anger in a wrong way.”
“For one, you could’ve just told me to accompany you for a full twenty-four hours, or anything else, for that matter. Anything would’ve been better than using another man to make me angry…” concluded Zivon, his voice dangerously attractive at the moment… So dangerous, in fact, that Xavia had to hold her breath for a moment.
So he understood that he hadn’t been caring for her enough, huh… That was all she needed to hear…
Feeling a lump in her throat, the red-eyed woman eventually managed to reply, “…Women don’t think straight when they’re angry… That aside, I just wanted you to give me a few hours off at the time…! I needed some peace to process everything, alright…? T-that aside, as I said, I really hadn’t planned to use Wade to make you angry! I swear on my life-”
Before she could even complete her sentence, however, Zivon had already planted his lips on hers. He, for one, wasn’t about to let her curse herself like that. Not on his watch.
