While they were on the topic, Xavia really didn’t know what to think anymore. After all, back when she had apologized and explained things to him before, Zivon hadn’t accepted it.
Either way, upon hearing that, Zivon’s gaze darkened slightly… and after a while, he calmly replied, “…If you’re still angry with me, remember that you didn’t tell me the whole story. That aside, you also chose the most extreme solution to the problem. Had that not happened, I wouldn’t have misunderstood or hurt you.”
“We both had issues dealing with all this, and I admit that I owe you an apology. However, I also hope that you’ll stop acting like this in the future… If you agree, then… we could… start over…” concluded the rational and mature Zivon. As always, he was taking the initiative to solve the problem… and in all honesty, Xavia felt moved.
After all, just the thought of being able to start things over made her happy enough. Even so… Some things were difficult to forget, and she simply couldn’t ignore the fact that he had been so… ‘outgoing’ with Jenna. It made her wonder whether he’d mistaken her for Jenna in the future while they were hugging or kissing…
As she pondered about this, Zivon couldn’t help but feel surprised. After all, he had assumed that she wanted to start anew just as much as he had. Unable to tell what she was thinking, Zivon eventually said, “…There’s no need to think too hard about it. That aside, have some porridge first.”
Since Xavia was unsure how to respond and it was true that she was famished, she ended up simply nodding before allowing him to spoon-feed her… With how elegant Zivon’s movements were, Xavia couldn’t help but feel that the porridge tasted sweeter than ever. It was simply too bad that all that had happened back then…
After the meal, Xavia fell asleep again due to all the medicine she had taken. Seeing that, Zivon washed his hands before heading to the doctor’s office. On his way there, however, there was a sudden acute pain in his stomach.
Sensing that something was off, one of his bodyguards immediately ran up to him while asking, “Is everything alright, Young Master Burton?”
Suppressing the pain, Zivon then replied, “…It’s nothing. That aside, I want you to investigate where Jenna’s recently been.”
“Right away, Young Master Burton,” said the guard as he quickly began passing the order down. With that done, Zivon continued making his way to the doctor’s office….
