Though Xavia hadn’t planned on going on the trip, nor had she wanted to take credit for her actions, Helen’s sharp words and temperament ultimately disallowed her from denying either.
To everyone’s surprise, Keith suddenly held onto Xavia’s tiny hand before leading her out… With how matching the two looked together hand in hand, Zivon couldn’t help but stare at their leaving backs with darkened eyes, almost as though he had some secrets up his sleeve…
Regardless, by the time they arrived at the North Court, Xavia turned to face the gentle-looking Keith before saying, “…I’m sorry, Young Master Keith, but I… I’m currently busy working with Binaca, and the period after the next ten days will be particularly important to the house. That aside, I have to take care of Yulia as well… Can’t I be excused…?”
“I understand, but grandma thinks that this trip will be her last, so I can’t really reject her request… That aside, it’ll only be a few days, and it’ll be the perfect opportunity for you to relax. You can bring Yulia along as well,” replied Keith.
Hell no! Exposing Yulia to the Burtons was already a huge mistake. No way was she going to keep letting her daughter continue meeting them so frequently! Now feeling increasingly troubled, Xavia couldn’t help but mutter, “…Is there truly no way to excuse myself…?”
Keith, for one, definitely had a few possible ways up his sleeve. However, he didn’t want to reveal them. After all, he needed this time to be together with Xavia. His great grandmother had truly given him an opportunity to bring their relationship closer…! With that in mind, Keith ultimately said, “…I’m sorry…”
Following a sigh, Xavia then headed back to her room to take a shower. Thankfully, her wounded hand didn’t hurt that much anymore, and after changing the dressing on her wound, Xavia laid next to her sleeping daughter… She couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty as she stared at the sleeping girl’s face.
After all, she hadn’t had the time to properly accompany Yulia either due to work, or because of Keith. Come to think of it, she had even transferred Yulia to several kindergartens by this point. She was a terrible mother… Thankfully, she was no longer going to be imprisoned for ten years, so she still had ample time to right her ways…
Once morning came, Xavia quickly got out of bed to prepare Yulia’s favorite bowtie noodles and meatballs.
Upon waking up and heading downstairs, Yulia couldn't help but exclaim, “Wow! Are those meatballs, Mommy? I’m the happiest girl alive!”
