The way his deep voice said it suggested that he was actually saying, ‘Can’t you say something sweet to me for once?’
Understanding that, Xavia instantly felt her heart tense up. It was always like this whenever they met… He simply had an irresistible charm that not everyone could resist…
Thankfully, Xavia knew the consequences of playing along, so she simply pursed her lips before lowering her head as she said, “…Truth be told, there is something else I’d like to say to you…”
“Go on…” replied Zivon in a gentle tone as he tenderly lifted a few stray strands of hair on her face before tucking them behind her ear…
Since her contract with Keith was already over, Zivon had assumed that it was high time that she began talking about the both of them instead. To his dismay…
“…I already have the answer to your previous question. We… Just aren’t compatible with each other…”
Upon hearing that, Zivon’s gentle expression instantly tensed up, and he began exuding his usual pressuring aura… No, it was even greater than usual…!
As for Xavia, she felt like suffocating and she clenched her fists tightly. Zivon was definitely one of the better men, and he treated her well for the most part as well… With that in mind, Xavia knew that she was currently being slightly selfish and unkind by doing this… However, what he gave her was different from what she wanted.
There were simply too many obstacles between them, and she wasn’t about to continue getting wounded just because of the little fondness that he had for her…
With that in mind, Xavia cleared her throat before adding, “…Ever since you brought that question up, I’ve been thinking about my feelings for you, and whether or not I’m willing to take my step forward as well… And today, I’ve finally figured things out. Since the green space project now belongs to Young Master Keith, I’ll be able to completely leave the Burtons and Lockharts behind in a single month. I’ll finally be able to return to a peaceful life with Yulia…”
