“With that said, let’s stop meeting from today onward…”
Veins were already popping up on Ian’s forehead as he growled, “Were you fooled by that bastard’s words again…?!”
Irked by his words, Xavia replied, “Please mind your tongue. At the end of the day, this is between me and Von, and you have no right to be calling him names. Also, from what I’ve gathered, you used to have a pretty good relationship with him in the past, right? What changed, and why are you actively trying to ruin my relationship with him? If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re just as much of a bad egg as he is! Now without further ado, good day!”
After saying that, she slammed the door behind her and left, causing Jovan’s lips to twitch. Nobody had ever dared to be that angry with the Grand Duke before… In the end, he couldn’t help but mutter, “…Please don’t be mad at her… She just doesn’t know why you care so much about her…”
“…I know, but it’s just so frustrating that she keeps getting fooled by that man! Doesn’t she ever use her head?!” grumbled Ian.
“…Well… If you really want to take better care of her, consider coming up with a way for you two to reunite… That way, you can care for her legitimately. If you don’t do that, she may misunderstand you even more, and you’ll piss off Young Master Burton too… Remember, that man has connections even outside of the business field, so going against him will be rather…”
Looking slightly glum, Ian replied, “…I’ll figure something out.”
Back upstairs, several worried doctors and nurses could be heard exclaiming, “Y-Young Master Burton…! You’re still not fully healed so you can’t leave yet…!”
Zayne was present as well, and he was quick to add, “Brother Zivon, you know your heart’s condition more than anyone else, and you’ve yet to go through a full check-up too. Please stop being so hard on yourself…!”
