Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 600

...She wasn’t as innocent as she appeared? Was she hoping to gain something from him as well…?

Keith’s train of thought was cut short when he heard her say, “So… Since I’ve accompanied you tonight, shouldn’t you be fulfilling your promise already?”

…So this was what she was after… Squinting his eyes slightly, he couldn’t help but feel slightly irked for misunderstanding a straightforward girl like her. Whatever the case was, he eventually replied, “…It’s been a pretty tiring day. Don’t you want to get some rest first…?”

“Negative. I doubt I’ll get any sleep till this matter is settled,” replied Xavia, her voice somewhat sounding like a kitten’s.

“…That… wasn’t my intention… What if I initiate the breakup? I could say that you’re always busy with work and I prefer a man who stays close and dotes on me all day. Following that, people will think that I’m simply a childish person living a fantasy. That way, you won’t be affected at all,” replied Xavia, causing Keith to go speechless. To think she was this willing to sacrifice herself just to get the breakup done with…

Regardless, Keith eventually replied, “…You’re a girl, you know…? You should really care a bit more about maintaining your image… That aside, you sound pretty insistent on breaking up with me… I wonder if it’s because of Uncle Zivon…”
