“Isn’t it true?” Xavia asked righteously. “You dare to do it but you don’t dare to admit it?”
Zivon’s gaze was intense as he stared at her arrogant and mocking expression. He caught on to what she was saying and growled, “Then tell me…what am I supposed to do if the person I am having an affair with is trying to run away?”
What? He was actually bold and shameless enough to ask her that?!
Xavia finally said, “It is only right for her to run. Men like you are unreliable, and it would be best for her to face reality.”
Zivon raised his brows. “Who is considered reliable then? Men like Keith Burton who are sanctimonious and pretend to be a gentleman? You’re too naive… he is not suitable for you.”
Xavia’s eyes widened.
Weren’t they talking about his affairs? Why was he involving her in this matter now?
She gritted her teeth and said, “Young Master Burton, aren’t you being sanctimonious too? Do you think that you’re suitable for me then, Uncle Zivon? I beg you—please let me go!”
“I just want to live a simple life, and I am living that way with Keith. Why are you constantly giving me a hard time? Do you know that I always feel suffocated and distressed whenever I face you? Tell me, did I offend you in any way? If that is the case, I will apologize to you, okay? I will change. Isn’t that enough?”
Xavia was being very direct, teetering on the brink of an emotional breakdown.
Zivon’s handsome face instantly darkened. She felt suffocated and distressed whenever she faced him?
So…that was how she felt about him.
He scoffed, “You just want to live a simple life with Keith Burton, right? Very well then. I hope you will not regret it.”
After saying that, Zivon let go of her wrist, opened the door, and left.
There was no breeze, but the room felt ice cold. Xavia shivered and stared into the distance.
He had left just like that? Why had he just accepted things this time?
She really hoped he would always be this easy to talk to in the future!
Xavia calmed herself, then headed downstairs. The room was filled with guests and the atmosphere was very lively.
Ava was walking amongst the guests as she greeted them one by one, and everyone’s attention was fixed on the members of the Burton family.
