Holding onto her tiny hand, he then led her to a chair before saying, “Speaking of which, it’ll be your senior’s birthday the day after tomorrow. With that said, head over earlier so that we can spend more time together.”
…Huh? Was he talking about Wade? Hadn’t he been jealous of that man before this…? To think there’d come a day where he’d take the initiative to suggest such a thing… Though she was surprised, she quickly replied, “…I see. Well, I guess I’ll think about what to give him in a bit.”
“No need for that. I’ve already prepared a gift for him on your behalf,” said Zivon, who wasn’t about to allow his woman to prepare a gift for another man.
This, of course, left Xavia momentarily speechless. She hadn’t really received much attention while growing up, which was why she never knew that being able to live freely was such a luxury… Still, they only had about twenty minutes left, so she may as well just play along…
Following a subtle sigh, Xavia replied, “…Well, alright then. That aside, why don’t we take some pictures together? It’d… be nice to be able to look at them when we’re apart…”
Aside from that, she could use those photos as proof to the kids that their relationship was going fine…
Either way, upon hearing that, Zivon couldn’t help but frown slightly. She needed photos of them together while they were in the same city…? The thought was a little troubling, to say the least… What’s more, Zivon had never really liked taking selfies… Still, it wasn’t like he could refuse, especially since she was looking at him with those puppy-dog-eyes…
In the end, all he could do was nod, prompting Xavia to exclaim, “Yay! Love you!”
After saying that, she got her phone out and aimed the front camera at her and Zivon, making sure to smile widely in the process. Now that she had these pictures, Xavia was sure that she could easily coax Yulia if she ever asked if they had quarreled.
It was about a dozen pictures later when Xavia finally stopped snapping away… However, she couldn’t help but frown slightly when she took a proper look at them. While it was true that they looked like a match made in heaven, Zivon looked… Sullen, to say the least. It was just his usual self, sure, but she wanted to capture him looking like someone in love!
Dissatisfied with this current batch, Xavia said, “…Um… We’re supposed to be taking a casual photo so… Try to loosen up a little… Maybe smile a bit…? Or look a bit gentler…? Either way, I’m taking more pictures!”
Thinking that an example would help, Xavia then sat next to Zivon before leaning her cheek against his shoulder and revealing a toothy smile as she added, “Here, like this!”
