However, the slight rustling of his clothes was enough to wake the sleeping Jenna up… and upon realizing that he had already gotten up, she quickly walked up to him while anxiously asking, “Y-you’re awake! How do you feel, Young Master Burton…? Any discomfort anywhere…?”
He was feeling fine, honestly, and it was all thanks to Xavia… Had she not come over last night, who knew what could’ve happened…
Since Zivon wasn’t replying, Jenna pursed her lips before adding, “…Um… If you’re worried about last night, don’t worry… Miss Frankston was the only one who had helped you out last night, and she left at around five this morning… Whitney didn’t lay a finger on you, and I only ended up sleeping next to you out of exhaustion while I was checking in on you…”
He could tell that she wasn’t lying, but he also noticed that she hadn’t mentioned the part where he had clung to her in the bathroom… At the time, he had really thought that she was Xavia, yet… in the end, she still stopped him. She was willing to keep it a secret from him too, no doubt for his sake…
In the end, he was prompted to say, “…You’ve changed, Jenna…”
…Wait. What did he call her…?! With eyes widened in shock, Jenna went pale as she asked, “…H-how-”
“I could already tell that it was you after talking with you the second time at the lab. After all, nobody but you would care about Jenna’s affairs.”
…He already knew the truth for so long…?! It took her a while, but she eventually replied, “…If… You knew it was me, then why did you still allow me to stay…?”
“For one, I believed that Ian had you under control. What’s more, you saved Xav’s life, so I wasn’t about to complain. Putting that aside, I have to say that you did a great job at keeping Whitney under control…”
