Xavia, for one, wasn’t about to change her mind after all that had happened! To her dismay, Ian replied, “Well, since you’re so confident, it wouldn’t hurt to meet up with them, right?”
It took her a while, but she eventually replied, “…Fine. I’ll meet up with them. However, not only do you need to return my phone if I dislike any of them, but you’ll also have to give up on trying to arrange any other blind dates for me after that. Naturally, you’ll have to let me meet up with Zivon again too.”
…What high stakes she had set… In the end, Ian muttered, “…You’re the most demanding person I’ve ever met… But sure. I guess it’s fine since you’re my sister…”
With that said, Ian was quick to get Jovan to start arranging the blind dates for her. After all, he didn’t want her changing her mind at the last second!
It was about half an hour later when Xavia was all dressed up and ready to head to the restaurant that Ian had picked. However, moments after she left, a Maybach stopped by Ian’s villa…
Out stepped Zivon who had an ironed shirt on, and upon seeing the guards from before, he was prompted to say, “I’m here to meet Ian.”
Since he didn’t mention Xavia this time, all the guards could do was exchange glances before forwarding the message to Ian. Since neither Xavia nor the kids were around, Ian had no problem with allowing him in…
“Well then… What brings you here today, Young Master Burton? Could it be that you’re planning to give me another gift?”
Calmly walking up to the equally superior man, Zivon replied, “Given your previous response, I figured that gifts were useless. Anyway, let’s not beat around the bush. Give me a task, and if I succeed, you’ll let me marry Xav. If I lose, however, I’ll give Xav and the kids up. How about it? Don’t worry, if I ever hurt her again, I’ll still be at your mercy.”
After lots of thinking, he realized that Maison was right. Men should settle things straightforwardly, and what better way to do that than through challenges?
