Looking into his eyes, she paused for a moment before replying, “…Well, I won’t deny that I did feel slightly saddened at first… But after seeing that camcorder footage, I realized that there was nothing to worry about. I should clarify that I had a feeling that there was something off with the post, so even if you hadn’t posted that video, I would’ve still waited for your explanation. That aside… Thank you for living up to my expectations, Von.”
Smiling in response, Zivon replied, “I’ll never let you down if I can help it. Not after all the injustice you’ve suffered because of Whitney and my father… I swear that they’ll never get another chance to hurt you again…!”
Just thinking about what Whitney and Hershel had done was enough to irk her… but she also knew that Zivon couldn’t have anticipated any of that. He was innocent, yet Ian had still made him suffer so much…
It took her a while, but she eventually muttered, “…It’s fine. Brother intervened early enough, and they weren’t able to harm me at all… Besides, he also subjected you to that hellish torture, so we were pretty much already even. Despite that, you went the extra mile by publicly revealing how vile your father and Whitney are… I’m pleased enough with that, so let’s not talk about that anymore… Today is a happy day, remember?”
“I just hope that things will remain this way so that we’ll finally have our happily ever after…”
Holding her hands, he then solemnly replied, “…You’re right. Let’s stop dwelling in the past. Now that all the hardships are over, the only things to expect will be glistening futures…”
“…Indeed… a perfect future together…” said Xavia with a subtle smile.
The two shared a pleasantly silent moment together… but to Xavia’s surprise, he eventually attempted to kiss her! Understandably shocked, she was quick to grumble, “H-hey…! What if my family members see us…?!”
