Forty minutes ago, Xavia had promised Jenna that she would return to S City after her grandmother’s surgery and that she would never appear in front of Zivon again.
She had also agreed to give Zivon up completely.
Since she had already promised Jenna, she had to do it… no matter how much it hurt.
Xavia finally mustered up the courage to say, “Young Master Burton, the truth is that I was uncertain about this relationship. I only agreed to give it a try for a while because of the pressure from you. Now that something has happened to Grandma, how could you possibly compare to her? In fact, I wanted to promise Jenna right away but I was hesitant because I had just moved into that old house which is very important to my work.”
“That being said, you should understand that it’s not that I cannot bear to let you go. You’re really not that important and it’s impossible for you to compare to my grandmother. I’ve already made up my mind to go back to S City and I will also find a new place to stay. I will never contact you again—”
“Xav, you’re lying,” Zivon interrupted her, his voice as cold as ice. “Did Jenna force you to say this to me? Hmm?”
“No.” Xavia quickly denied it. She did not want him to harbor any more feelings for her.
Even if her grandmother was not in the picture, the baby in her would also be an obstacle.
“Young Master Burton, to be honest with you… I was really moved when Stefan flew all the way here from S City for me and was willing to take out more than half of Talton Group’s shares when he spoke to Jenna. He is gentle and devoted to me, and he looks just like my first love too. I was really touched.”
“At that time, I was thinking that if I saved my grandmother, it would be nice to go back to S City to live there with Stefan. It’s not like when I’m together with you, where I have to be cautious and sneak around. Also, you’re always so petty and I constantly have to coax you.”
“You don’t know this but when I was with Mark or Stefan, they were the ones who were always coaxing me. Honestly, I’ve not forgotten Mark, nor have I drawn a clear line with Stefan… and that’s why I felt moved and had an emotional affair.”
By the time she finished speaking, her nails had cut bloody marks into her palm.
After Zivon heard her words, his expression was icy and furious as he growled, “Xavia Lockhart, I will give you one chance to take back those words.”
“I cannot… I don’t want to deceive myself. Even without this incident, I cannot suppress my feelings for Stefan and I will continue cheating on you emotionally. Thus, the decision to separate from you is not painful for me at all. Let’s leave it at that and part on amicable terms.”
Xavia ended the call as soon as she was done speaking—she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears if she continued.
