Alas, he had dug his own grave, so all he could do now was try to undo the mess he had created! After clearing his throat, Zayne awkwardly said, “Um… S-sister-in-law! Zivon is over here!”
Upon hearing that, everyone turned around… and it was then when they realized that Zivon had been present this entire time!
“Crap! He’s been looking at the two this entire time…?!”
“Shh! Let’s pretend we didn’t say all that…!”
Xavia herself was left startled when she heard that, and soon enough, she saw the icy man glaring daggers at her from beneath a crystal chandelier. What was he doing here?!
Zivon interpreted her shock as guilt, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists in frustration.
Noticing the high tension, Zayne quickly walked over to Zivon’s side and whispered, “Remember what I said earlier…! Don’t let her go…!”
Following that, he pulled Xavia over while smiling before adding, “So, um… Zivon came over to attend Doctor Rudner’s party the second he got off work! He wanted to personally express his gratitude to him for saving your life, you see, and he also wanted to pick the kids up. Where were you anyway?”
…Who did Zayne think he was fooling? Even so, she could tell that Zayne was only trying to help, so she revealed a subtle smile and replied, “…Well, Mark’s car broke down and since Doctor Rudner couldn’t just leave his own party, I went on his behalf to get Mark. I appreciate you joining us…”
