Cough! Cough! Cough!
Xavia choked. She felt a pungent feeling in her throat, and her face was flushed red.
“Aunt, drink some water.”
“Mommy, I will pat your back for you.”
The two little ones quickly came forward, and they were both very considerate as they handed the water over to Xavia and patted her back.
Xavia was embarrassed.
Zivon had actually said those things to her just now! The children were here!
Xavia drank the plain water and patted her chest.
“Yulia, Maison, I’m fine. You guys can continue eating. Be careful and don’t choke.”
“Mhm. Mommy, you can take your time.”
After the two children returned to their positions, Xavia awkwardly picked up her fork as she continued picking up the food. She did not want to answer him, and she did not know how to answer him either.
Did she intend to ignore him?
The corners of Zivon’s mouth curled up slightly. “Coward.”
Coward?
Xavia looked at Zivon with a dissatisfied look on her face. “Who are you talking about?” How could he scold people like that?
Zivon placed the beef tripe in his bowl, and he turned his gaze to her with a deep look in his eyes as she said, “Aren’t you a coward if you are avoiding the question?”
Umm…
“It’s because I did not want to answer you. I am not avoiding the question!” Xavia came up with an excuse for herself.
Zivon replied, “Not wanting to answer also means that you’re avoiding the question. Why? Is it very difficult for you to answer my question?”
Xavia nodded hard before she shook her head again.
She had a very awkward relationship with him, and he was Jenna’s husband. So, they should not be talking about topics relating to the relationship between a man and a woman.
“I do not want to talk about it, regardless of whether it is difficult or not. But Young Master, have you always been so open-minded and direct when you speak to girls?”
Zivon frowned. “Not every girl has the opportunity to talk to me.”
‘So? He speaks to all the girls who could talk to him in this manner then?’
Just like Fiona?
Xavia smiled faintly and said, “In that case, I should feel honored to be able to speak to you in this manner then, Young Master. Let’s celebrate this moment with water instead of wine.”
