“O-of course, not! It’s just…!” replied Xavia as she desperately attempted to find the right words… Perhaps… honesty was the best policy…?
Before she could attempt to give her answer, however, a knock could suddenly be heard from the door… followed by Wendy’s sweet voice saying, “Zivon…? The child is crying and looking for her mother… Could you please tell me where Miss Lockhart is sleeping…? I’ve tried my best to find her to no avail…”
…Yulia was crying? Instantly getting worried, Xavia thought little about her situation and quickly pushed Zivon aside before running toward the door.
Wendy, on the other hand, found herself rather startled when a thin, disheveled figure suddenly rushed out of Zivon’s room! Since the door was now open, she peeked inside and saw that her son was lying on the bed… He looked… chipper. And his lips were moist too… Had… had he done something with her…?!
Going as pale as a sheet, Wendy stuttered, “Z-Zivon…? You…?”
After clearing his throat, Zivon straightened his clothes before replying, “…Xavia is my girlfriend, Mom.”
“S-she… w-what…? A-are you just talking in your sleep…?” muttered Wendy in disbelief as she quickly entered the room and closed the door behind her.
Following a deep breath, she was prompted to add, “…Zivon, she’s Jenna’s younger sister for heaven’s sake…! How could you be with her? Even if you’re still fond of Jenna, you can’t just transfer your feelings to her sister! You may be excellent in every way, but you can’t just replace Jenna with that woman! I can assure you that your relationship won’t work out…!”
Zivon, for one, had no idea why she thought he even remotely liked Jenna. Hell, just thinking about that evil woman made him sour. Shaking the thought off, he ultimately replied, “…I’m not substituting anyone, and for the record, I never had any feelings for Jenna. That aside, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m old enough to make my own decisions.”
“…Zivon, how could I not be? While it’s true that I lost the right to care for you back when I left you behind, I at least hope to make you happy now that you’ve allowed me to return to your side… It’s only natural for a mother to be concerned over my child’s affairs…”
