...T-that was clearly just a joke! Feeling awkward, Xavia ended up muttering, “T-that-”
“That what, hmm…? Are you sure that wasn’t an indirect request for me to do something…?” interrupted Zivon as he brought his body closer to her.
Now trembling a little, Xavia replied, “H-hey, the kids and my parents are still waiting to have dinner with us…! We can’t do it now…”
“What about tonight, then?” asked Zivon as he gently raised her chin.
…In all honesty, she didn’t really mind that… After all, even she had been yearning for him after being bedridden for so long. However, she couldn’t just say that! With that, she ended up meekly nodding…
Following a smirk, he gave her a deep kiss on her lips before letting her go and saying, “Be sure to pick a nice bra…”
Following that, he left the room, leaving Xavia too stunned to even react for a while. A nice bra…? She had multiple sets! Which one was he even talking about…? Actually, hold on! To think that he’d make such a shameless request! How embarrassing…!
Either way, after her shower, the family gathered around the dining table to enjoy some hotpot… and though simple, someone who had been on the brink of death like Xavia couldn’t help but find joy in this precious moment. With a bright smile on her face, she eventually raised her glass and said, “Mom… Dad… Thank you for all the love that you’ve given me, as well as the kids while Von and I were away… This toast is for you, and… I love you.”
Smiling back, Homer dotingly replied, “That was only right for us to do, dear… But you’re welcome.”
