She tried to keep her tone as casual as possible, hoping that he wouldn’t realize that she was talking about herself… Thankfully, Zivon’s expression didn’t change much, though… it didn’t take long for him to reply, “I’d simply take the child and leave her.”
Instantly going pale, the astonished woman replied, “B-but why…?! The woman still took care of the child for all those years, you know…?”
“First off, she left him at the start. Secondly, she chose to lie about the child, even though it belonged to both of them. And thirdly, you said she kept pushing him to meet other women, right? Doesn’t that imply that she never intended to give the child a proper family? I can only say that she doesn’t deserve to be a mother, and that it’s only right that I take the child away from such a person.”
With how cruelly stern his words were, Xavia couldn’t help but feel chills run down her spine. Depending on his reaction, she’d have told him the truth about Yulia, but… Now that she had heard his point of view, there was no way she could do that! Hell, she needed to keep this a secret, or she’d end up losing both him and Yulia…!
Raising a brow at the pale-faced woman, Zivon muttered, “…Are you alright? You don’t look so good…”
Snapping out of it, Xavia replied, “I-I’m fine… Um… You said you wanted to head back to work, right…? Hurry on and get to it so that we can all return to Aplos…”
Nodding in response, Zivon then walked to the door… But before leaving, he was prompted to ask, “…Are you really sure that that man isn’t the girl’s father?”
Unsure what to even tell him by this point, Xavia replied, “…I’m not sure either… I’ll look into this later…”
Squinting slightly, Zivon didn’t say anything and simply left the room, his heart more frozen than the wintry lands outside… By this point, he didn’t really mind if Xavia had slept with that person, but… He couldn’t help but wish that all of her belonged to him… Including Yulia…
