Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1833

“…I fail to see what I did wrong. Remember, had I not stepped in that night, she’d very likely be dead by now! And you! Can’t you see how much she’s putting herself down for your sake? You’re keeping her soft-hearted, and this will ultimately result in her getting bullied even more!”

…What? He had already said that he didn’t mind the test! In fact, even if Ian hadn’t brought it up, he’d have still found a way to get his folks to apologize to her! Alas, the fact that she was defending his family caused Ian to misunderstand him again… Understandably irked, Zivon got to his feet before saying, “…For the record, I’ve already agreed. That aside, even I hope that she gets stronger. Regardless, I’ll go out and have a talk with her. Alone.”

With that said, he headed out… and shortly after, he saw her squatting by the lake in the garden… Watching as she tossed a stone into the water, he couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you really that mad…?”

“Why shouldn’t I be? Mining there in this weather is particularly dangerous, and if your father gets into an accident, then the Burtons and Frankstons will become enemies! I’ll become your enemy! If that happens, then the wedding will fail indefinitely! Putting them aside, if you end up dying there as well, can you imagine how sad Maison and Yulia would be? You’re a thirty-year-old man! Why didn’t you consider the consequences before agreeing?!”

Though the angry woman had a point, Zivon couldn’t help but reply, “…Hey, I haven’t even left, and do you really think I’m that useless?”

“…I… didn’t mean it that way, but-”

“You know, it’s one thing to be considerate, but it’s another to just forgive others who don’t deserve to be so easily forgiven. I’ll have you know that Hershel is only still alive because he’s my father. Anyway, your brother’s right. You really need to put yourself first a bit more, Xav, and the best way to get them to stop bothering you is by setting them straight through proper punishment.”
