Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1685

Moving back to Xavia, since the kids were still with Zivon, the house was all nice and quiet. After taking a bath, she laid in bed… but even after tossing and turning for a while, she simply couldn’t fall asleep. After all, this entire time, she had felt that Ian was simply a friendly person… After what he said earlier, however…

…He couldn’t actually like her, right? She wasn’t even that capable! There was nothing to like, right…? He had probably just said that since he didn’t like owing others favors… Was he worried that she’d start asking for things like Jenna had done? That was probably the case, right?

Her train of thought was cut short when Dolly walked up to her and asked, “What’s with the frown, hmm? What’s on your mind?”

Shaking her head, Xavia replied, “…It’s nothing. Just still a little surprised by the Great Lady’s reaction toward Jenna…”

“…Well, yeah, even I’d be pissed if I found out that I had been supporting a faker this entire time. That aside… Ian’s really polite, you know? After all, despite being the Grand Duke, he still came over just to pick you up! If you and Young Master Burton weren’t that close, I’d have suspected that he liked you!”

“H-hey! What are you even talking about?” grumbled Xavia as she playfully tossed a pillow at Dolly. It was around then when her phone began ringing… It was a message from Zivon!

‘Did I not make myself clear this morning? It’s already eleven, you know? Or… Could it be that you didn’t send me any messages because you want me to do ‘that’ sooner…?’

…Fuck. She had completely forgotten about that!

‘It’s not like that! Right after you left, I ran into Ian who told me that the Great Lady had remained unconscious for three days ever since Jenna’s death! He really needed my help, which is why I spent most of the day caring for the Great Lady… I just took a bath and got in bed a few minutes ago, and I honestly just forgot!’

Zivon, for one, had initially only been a little irked when she hadn’t done as he ordered… But after reading her reply, he couldn’t help but frown as he replied, ‘…So you were with Ian the entire day?’
