“I have. That aside, how far have you gotten with the game? I have some time to kill now, so why don’t I help you conquer a few rounds?”
Honestly, Xavia hadn’t been playing in the past two days. She simply hadn’t been in the mood…
Noticing how upset she looked, Keith replied, “…Thinking about Uncle Zivon?”
…As if! After shaking her head, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…Hey… Are men prone to switching their moods at the flick of a switch? Before leaving for work, he told me that he would miss me dearly… But now that he’s gone, he hasn’t even bothered to send me a proper message!”
…If only she knew what Zivon had said back at the Burton manor… Shaking his head, Keith replied, “…I’m sure Uncle Zivon just has a lot on his plate right now-”
“Please, I’m able to make a social media post and talk with five friends at the same time while waiting for the traffic light to turn green! How hard would it be for him to give a proper reply? It’s clear that he’s deliberately ignoring me-”
It was then that Xavia finally realized the truth about the situation. He… He hadn’t found her important enough to make time for… That was the case, wasn’t it…? How depressing…
Clenching his fists, Keith was prompted to push one of the desserts toward her before saying, “…Whatever his reasoning is, try not to let it affect your mood too much… My mother once told me that getting mad while pregnant could impact the baby, you know…? If it helps, you could start thinking about his punishment while waiting for him to return…”
Following a brief pause, she ultimately found herself smiling a little. Yeah… Keith was right… She shouldn’t implicate the child because of her husband! With that in mind, she thanked him before starting to munch on the desserts…
Watching as Xavia ate her cakes while playing mobile games with Keith, Jenna couldn’t help but feel slightly bitter when she saw how friendly and considerate that man could get. Come to think of it, hadn’t there been a time when he used to treat her like that as well…? She still remembered how he would always comfort her whenever she got upset because of Zivon…
