...Patience? Why… did he sound like he was describing how he ate women…?! And why the hell was she being so dirty-minded tonight…?!
Throughout the meal, Xavia simply ate with her head lowered, barely even saying a word… and once she was done eating, she quickly wiped the corners of her mouth before saying, “W-well… It’s quite late now, so you should really head back to get some rest, Young Master Burton… Don’t worry about me, I’ll just hail a cab and pick Yulia up while I’m at it…”
Yulia had been with Bianca for the past few days. After all, Xavia didn’t want her child to know about suicide at such a young age.
Either way, upon hearing that, Zivon couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he asked, “Aren’t you forgetting something?”
…What? Was she…?
Just as Xavia was about to ask what it was, Zivon added in a deep voice, “I secretly accompanied you back here, you know? Nobody else knows I’m in Dalrsbury. I’ve greeted your parents as well, but that aside, I still have to return to Milan tomorrow morning.”
It was at that moment when Xavia realized that Zivon should’ve been on a work trip in Milan. He was only here since she had to care for Dolly!
After putting two and two together, Xavia was prompted to say, “…So… You’ll have to stay in a hotel tonight?”
“I would, but I don’t have my identification card with me now.”
…Cr*p. How was he going to book a hotel room then?! Now starting to look slightly pale, Xavia then asked, “…T-then what should we do…? …How about you crash as Chace and Zayne’s place for the night…?”
“Xavia, I’m returning to Milan tomorrow. Are you seriously chasing me off now?” replied Zivon, prompting Xavia to momentarily go silent.
“…Are you… suggesting that we sleep on the streets together…?” muttered Xavia.
Raising a slight brow, Zivon then sighed before saying, “…You have your identification card with you, right? Get us a room and I’ll join you in a bit.”
