Since she had said this right as the traffic lights turned red, Keith made sure to turn around to look at her.
Since Xavia was going to try getting along with Keith for half a year anyway, she wanted to tell him about Yulia. After all, since Kith was surely going to bombard her with the thought of getting married, she may as well. Besides, if she didn’t help with that process, wasn’t this all just going to be a waste of his time?
However, thinking back, all the Burtons were equally shrewd… What if Yulia’s true identity accidentally leaked out? When she thought about it that way, Xavia felt that it’d be better to tell him about it once the situation was safer first.
Due to this sudden change of heart, she was prompted to reply, “…Well… I’m dying of hunger so… Could we get something to eat first…?”
This made Keith chuckle. And here he thought it was something big… Whatever the case was, he then asked, “Sure. What do you want to eat?”
“You said I should focus on ridding myself of bad luck back then, right…? Let’s have a hot pot, then! A red and spicy hot pot!”
“Coming right up,” replied Keith as he sped all the way to a nearby hotel.
Once they arrived, he turned to face the girl before adding, “Go ahead and wash up first. I’ll have my secretary deliver a clean set of clothes to you shortly. Once you’re done, I’ll take you to the hot pot restaurant that’s just downstairs.”
“Sounds good. Thank you…” replied Xavia as she headed into the bathroom to undress. When warm water began running down her body, she couldn’t help but feel that this was the most relaxed and joyful she had been in a while. How wonderful that she’d actually be able to live normally again…!
A short while later, a set of new, limited-edition clothes were brought to her room. With that, once she blow dried her hair, she slipped into the new clothes before happily opening the door… only to be greeted by the sight of a large bouquet of fine, red roses!
Of course, Keith was the one holding the bouquet, and he said in a gentlemanly manner, “Congratulations for getting out of prison, Miss Xavia… There are seven hundred and seventy-seven stalks of roses in this bouquet and it’s symbolic of you ridding yourself of all your bad luck!”
Upon hearing that, Xavia momentarily went speechless. Before this, the flowers Stefan had given her represented love. To think that this bouquet would have a different meaning… Though surprised, she quickly smiled as she replied, “To think that you’re even more superstitious than I am, Young Master Keith… That aside, I’ll gladly accept this bouquet…”
“Shall we, then?” said Keith as he held out his hand.
