It almost seemed like anyone who got too close would get frozen to death…!
Xavia herself took quite a while before she was able to break free from her paralysis. However, the second she snapped out of it, she instantly felt gloomy.
She had honestly been eager to clear things up with him from the very start of the week, but now that she had actually done it, she didn’t feel any pleasure or relief at all. All there was, was a heaviness in her heart…
At that moment, she wondered why this hadn’t happened when she was eighteen… At the time, she might’ve had the courage to place her trust in him more…
Moving back to Zivon, he had a frigid aura surrounding him throughout his walk back to his private courtyard…
When Nathan saw him, he hurriedly ran up to Zivon before saying, “I’ve already prepared the gift, Young Master. Do have a look!”
Zivon, for one, had made preparations for the green space project yesterday. Even if Xavia hadn’t come up with an outstanding proposal, he still had other ways planned to help her succeed. Anything as long as she could terminate her contract with Keith earlier…
Regardless, he was certain that things would end well, which was why he had told Nathan to prepare this gift to celebrate her freedom, as well as a symbol for something else…
After what had just happened, however, Zivon ended up staring at the exquisite gift box for a while before replying, “Toss it in the trash.”
…Huh? Toss it away…?! But this precious gift had been shipped here overnight from abroad…! Nathan was really tempted to say that it was a huge waste to do that. However…
From how frosty Zivon’s aura was, he figured that something bad must’ve happened. With that, he weakly asked, “…If I may, did something bad happen…? Didn’t Miss Lockhart get the green space project…? She can now terminate her contract with Young Master Keith and be single again, right…?”
“That aside, from what I know, Lady Burton also knows about the conversation between you and Young Mistress Jenna back in the room… With that in mind, her impression of Young Mistress Jenna has now changed… All this… is good, no? What’s there to be unhappy about…?”
In response, Zivon simply snorted coldly. So what if all those happened? Nothing could compare to how Xavia had said that he wasn’t worth it. Hah. Come to think of it, this was the first time a woman had thought that he was unworthy of them… How ridiculous.
