Easily pulling her close to his firm chest, the handsome, chisel-faced man then guided her into his car, staring deeply at her…
Feeling slightly confused, Xavia was prompted to ask, “…What exactly are you doing? Are you sure you aren’t drunk?”
After staring her in the eye for a while, Zivon asked in a stern tone, “…How do you know so much about what happened that night?”
…That night? Was he referring to her previous answer during the game?! God d*mn it! She had been so concerned about not getting exposed that she completely forgot that he was the biggest issue! No wonder he had been staring so strangely at her this entire time! Whatever the case was, after batting her eyelashes for a bit, the panicked woman then replied, “…Jenna told me the details.”
“…Really now…? She told me what I was wearing? About the wine stain on my clothes? And you remember everything in detail? Huh?” scoffed Zivon as he lifted her chin, his voice filled with disbelief.
Xavia herself couldn’t believe that she was getting questioned about this now! Even so, there was no way in hell that she could let the cat out of the bag now! If he found out about the truth, then everything would truly be over!
Understanding that, Xavia was prompted to retort, “…But of course! Jenna’s really fond of you, you know? She keeps telling me about her experience of meeting you and how that night was the blessing of her life. With how much she loves you, don’t you think you’re letting her down by being so close and touchy with me?”
Upon hearing that, Zivon looked at the angry façade that Xavia had put up before narrowing his eyes.
…She had a point. What was he thinking? Now that she had said all that, it truly seemed as though he had simply been overthinking things. After all, there was no way she could have had anything to do with that night when she was in S City, right? With that in mind, he released her waist before saying in a cold tone, “…I don’t need your opinion on whether I’m letting Jenna down or not.”
Following that, he leaned against his car seat before closing his eyes to rest. Even when he wasn’t saying anything, however, his aura was still as frigid as ever…
Still, Xavia couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Thank god he didn’t ask any more questions… After all, with how sharp he was, Xavia knew that he would eventually find a loophole in her explanations…
Whatever the case was, they soon arrived at the old mansion. Once the car stopped at the courtyard, Xavia made sure to put on a caring façade before getting out of the car. She was glad she did, since she soon saw Ava and a few others flower viewing close by.
With that in mind, she quickly walked to the other side of the card before extending a hand out to Zivon while saying, “You must be feeling slightly dizzy after all that wine, right? Here, let me help you up.”
