Naturally, Sophia figured this out as well, which was why the two could only grit their teeth in irritation when they saw how happy the two were together. It didn’t help that they had to give them their blessings as well!
In the end, Jenna walked up to her with a smile while saying, “Congratulations, Xavia.”
Her smile was only a façade, of course, but since she was so used to acting, it almost seemed genuine…
Regardless, when she saw Jenna, Xavia was instantly reminded of all of Jenna’s disgusting acts that night. Not wanting to ruin the mood with those memories, Xavia simply returned the smile as she replied, “…Thank you. I’m glad that you’re giving me your blessings, sis.”
Upon hearing that, Jenna felt her lips twitch a little. Did she really think that she wanted to be here? Had it not been for the department’s comment, she wouldn’t be such a law-abiding citizen right now…!
Continuing to force a smile, Jenna replied, “…Why wouldn’t I? I truly am happy that you married him, and I believe that Miss Harrison shares the sentiment.”
Hearing her name, Sophia then smiled before walking up to Xavia and Zivon, a glass of red wine in hand. After staring at the two for a while, she eventually said, “Indeed I do. You have my blessings, and I hope you two stay happy till the end of time.”
Following that, she downed the glass of wine, making everyone feel slightly awkward… After all, ever since that birthday banquet, everyone knew that Sophia was in love with Zivon. Alas, he already had Xavia, and the current situation simply couldn’t be helped… To them, that pitiful woman really shouldn’t be forced to attend this occasion…
Either way, after finishing the wine, Sophia simply returned to her seat to drink another glass…
It was around then when Zayne walked up to Zivon and patted him on the shoulder while saying, “I guess being too charming is a curse too, huh? That aside, I’ve taken my time selecting your gift, so make sure to only open it once you return to your room. I assure you that it’ll be a pleasant surprise.”
Looking at the pink suitcase that Zayne had given him, Zivon couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he replied, “Pink? Really?”
