Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, Zayne then muttered, “Alright, I won’t lie that I was trying to gain your pity, but… The rest of my story was true. If you don’t believe me, then just listen to this!”
Following that, he began playing the recording that Zivon had sent him…
“I’m just a commoner who isn’t worthy of being part of a great family such as the Xenoses, especially since I’ve already gotten a divorce before… Also, I really don’t want to live in inferiority among Zayne’s family members… It’ll just be DeJa’Vu…”
“Anyway, he deserves a much better girl, and if he ever tries to talk to you about me again, just tell him that the best romances happen between those of equal status… Also, if he truly likes me, tell him to let go… I really want to just end things on good terms…”
Though Dolly’s voice sounded genuinely sad, Mrs. Xenos couldn’t help but mutter, “…She could’ve easily faked that…”
“I can assure you that she’s being genuine, Mom. Unless… you think that I’m dumb enough to fall for another Honey trap after that incident…? If so, then I guess I may as well give up on her and drink my sorrows away at the pub!”
Just as Zayne was about to leave, Mrs. Xenos anxiously replied, “H-hey! I never said that I disapproved of her! That aside, pubs aren’t proper places to go to…”
After all, had Zayne not gone to a pub back then, he wouldn’t have had to suffer so much in the end… Shaking her head, she then thought for a long while… and eventually, she was prompted to add, “…Fine. I can help you persuade your father to let you marry her, on three conditions…”
“Go on…”
Smiling in response, Mrs. Xenos then said, “Firstly, you two aren’t allowed to have a grand wedding ceremony. You can only invite your close friends at best. Remember, she was married before, so it’s best that we lay low just so that she doesn’t receive any public outlash.”
Figuring that Dolly would want the same thing, Zayne nodded and replied, “Deal.”
“Good. Secondly, she has to sign a contract that disallows her from getting any money from our family if she ever asks for a divorce.”
