Each of his words were brimming with repressed anger, and for good reason. He was now angry enough that it physically hurt him…
Instantly tensing up, Xavia quickly replied, “I… I never thought of it that way… You didn’t force me, and I wasn’t that aggrieved or anything…! I really mean it…”
“Then tell me. What exactly are you thinking?”
…That… Truth be told, even she didn’t know… All she knew was that her mind was all over the place…
Eventually, she managed to say, “…I… didn’t hate it when you kissed me then… I’m currently worried about your wound… I also feel a strong sense of self-reproach and distress… That aside, I’m also uncomfortable by how angry you are… I… I just really wish I could comfort you and explain things a little better…”
“But putting all that aside… Is it even possible for us, Zivon…? We’ll never be able to be together, so why are you making me say all these things that I shouldn’t…? I shouldn’t have to face all this in the first place since you’re already married…” muttered the aggrieved girl as she finally said her mind out…
Zivon himself was slightly taken aback. She… was upset by his anger…? And she wanted to comfort him…?
Holding onto her wrist, he then pulled her closer to him before locking eyes with her and saying in a serious tone, “And why is it impossible? I’ll say it right now that as long as you take a single step forward, I’ll take the remaining ninety-nine steps.”
At that moment, his eyes were so determined that they almost seemed to reflect the galaxy… If this had been any other girl, she’d surely have completely fallen for him…
Regardless, Xavia was now staring at him with an incredulous look on her face. Could it really work out…? Was he serious about making all that effort…?
Just as Xavia was wondering how to even answer him, her phone suddenly began ringing. Snapping out of it, she quickly pulled her hand back before saying, “I… Um… I’ll pick the call up first…”
Following that, she fished her phone out… and soon enough, she realized that Yulia was calling.
“Hello? Yulia?”
“Mommy! When are you coming back? I miss you…” replied the pampered girl in her usual adorable voice.
