As he was waiting for the call to connect, however, Nathan suddenly entered before saying, “Young Master Burton? Chairman Talton is here.”
Stefan? What on earth was he doing here?
After staring at the still disconnected phone call for a while, Zivon eventually said, “…I’ll head down to meet him. In the meantime, I want you to find out where Xavia is. Update me on the situation the second you find anything.”
“Right away, young master,” replied Nathan.
Before Zivon could even get to his feet, however, the handsome and gentlemanly Stefan stepped into the study room before warmly saying, “There’s no need to look for her. She’s currently at my place.”
…How absolutely direct… And what did he mean by his place?
Before Zivon—who already looked gloomy—could reply, Yulia could be heard cheering, “Future daddy!”
Seeing his little princess, Stefan gently hugged her before lifting her up and asking in a calming tone, “Hmm? Why are your eyes red, princess? Did someone bully you? Don’t worry, mommy’s with daddy now, and she’s safe and sound…”
Following that, Stefan patted her before adding, “Now go be a good girl and pack all your clothes and necessities. Daddy’s going to bring you over to mommy.”
“…Huh? Mommy’s not coming back to the villa…? I… Can I talk to mommy about this first…? Mommy told me that I wasn’t allowed to leave the villa without her permission…” muttered the adorable Yulia, prompting Stefan to smile.
Fishing his cell phone out, he then sent a message to Xavia, stating, ‘As you said, our little princess wants your approval to leave…’
Shortly after, Xavia sent a voice message that—upon being played—said, “Don’t worry, Yulia. Mommy’s the one who told Uncle Talton to pick you up. Now hurry back with him. Mommy’s waiting for you at his place…”
From how clear and natural the voice sounded, the message appeared to be genuine…
