It was Xavia. After three days of endless pampering from Ian, Xavia had finally accepted that she was his sister. It was the only reason why she even bothered dressing up in such fine garments. However, despite her newfound seductive classiness, she still retained an air of innocence…
Regardless, upon seeing her, Zivon was quick to say, “I won’t take her away.”
Before Ian could even reply, Zivon had already dragged Xavia to the villa’s garden.
Unlike the other homes in the residential area, the layout of the villa made the magnificent public garden feel more like a private one…
Regardless, as Zivon led the way, Xavia couldn’t help but stare at his back… She hadn’t met him in three whole days, and though he looked as prestigious as ever from behind, his fatigue instantly became visible when he turned around to look at her…
It took her a while, but she eventually muttered, “…How is Aunt doing? And did you refuse to sleep again?”
Upon hearing that, Zivon was left too startled to even reply. Xavia herself couldn’t get a read on his emotions at all… That is, until he finally replied, “…I thought you’d be mad at me… Look, I’m… Sorry that I wasn’t there to protect you when you needed me… I had no idea of my father’s plans, and I’ve also been busy taking care of Mom in the past three days…”
His tone revealed how upset he was, and after pursing her lips, Xavia said, “…That incident had nothing to do with you. That aside, everything’s fine as long as Aunt is feeling better… I’m sorry for not visiting her in the hospital as well.”
Though Zivon’s apology came from the heart, Xavia’s felt more business-like. At the same time, her tone suggested that they were old acquaintances that had finally reunited again…
