In the past, the information of Xavia and Mark was placed on his desk. It described the past of the duo simply and concisely. Their relationship was simple, warm and beautiful.
Even the photos which Nathan Miller showed him depicted Xavia who had smiled innocently, happily and brilliantly. Her relationship with Mark was really close.
Now, she decided to return to Mark.
She was even willing to give up her own dream as well as twenty million dollars just for him.
Ugh! Just how passionate was that girl for her first love?
Nathan felt the air around him was chilly. He dared not to look at Young Master Burton’s morbidly cold face.
Nathan opened his mouth weakly, “Young Master Burton, I think we don’t have to deal with it, right? However, there is some advice, which I’m not sure whether I should speak up or not, but I think I should voice it out.”
“I think...regardless of whether you and Jenna have acquired your marriage license or not, at least in the eyes of the public, you two are husband and wife. However, given the situation of the Burton family now, it would be difficult for us to release an official statement for the time being.”
“Besides that, Miss Lockhart’s identity is bound to be unacceptable to everyone. So, it would only cause a big stir as well as a scandal. Also, Miss Xavia...she never had you in her heart. So, there is no need for you to bother with her. It’s better to allow her to leave.”
Nathan whispered those words with apprehension. By suggesting those words, he was putting his life at risk. But, as Zivon’s chief secretary, he had the duty and obligation to give him good advice.
Yet, his palms were sweating profusely due to the nervousness. He had a feeling that he would meet his doom this time.
However, that calm and nobleman turned around, with the setting sun reflected on one side of his handsome face. He parted his lips and rebuked, “Who told you that I want to deal with it?”
His words were light, as if nothing mattered to him. This man was cold and emotionless.
Zivon’s response was darn surprising! After all, Nathan thought Young Master Burton would do something before he gave a bunch of advice to him. So, in the end, it was just that?
Nathan opened his eyes wide incredulously. Then, he looked at the nobleman and said, “Young Master Burton, you...”
“You should go now if you have nothing more to report. Then, in the future, there is no need for you to report Xavia’s affairs to me.”
“Uh...Okay.” Nathan meekly withdrew from the study. He was scratching his head, with confusion written all over his face.
Xavia never expected to receive a phone call from her son. So naturally, she was surprised and astonished. She wondered out loud, “Maison, how do you find out about this?”
“You don’t have to mind these details. I just want to know what is so important that can make you leave me behind? I have been through many difficulties to finally attend the same school as Little Bun. “
“My mommy said you are going home to chase after your first love. Uncle Miller said you had something important to deal with. I don’t even believe both reasons.” His little voice was implied with complaints, upset and traces of defiance.
Xavia’s heart was filled with bitterness.
Every time she heard the little one reluctant to leave her, she was even more unwilling to leave his side. Unfortunately, she didn’t want to turn him into a mistress' child and live with a bad reputation. So she was leaving now to protect him.
Xavia recollected all the emotions which welled up in her heart and asked, “Maison, you really like Yulia, right?”
“Yup, I adore her very much.”
“I also like you a lot. I have liked a boy since childhood, but I was forcibly separated from him because of an accident. Now that he has finally shown up, I must go back to meet him.”
