Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 600

...She wasn’t as innocent as she appeared? Was she hoping to gain something from him as well…?

Keith’s train of thought was cut short when he heard her say, “So… Since I’ve accompanied you tonight, shouldn’t you be fulfilling your promise already?”

…So this was what she was after… Squinting his eyes slightly, he couldn’t help but feel slightly irked for misunderstanding a straightforward girl like her. Whatever the case was, he eventually replied, “…It’s been a pretty tiring day. Don’t you want to get some rest first…?”

“Negative. I doubt I’ll get any sleep till this matter is settled,” replied Xavia, her voice somewhat sounding like a kitten’s.

Feeling helpless, Keith then flopped onto a couch before saying, “Alright… What’s on your mind, Miss Xavia…”

Walking over, Xavia then replied in a serious tone, “I know that the Burtons place a lot of emphasis on reputation and would never allow scandals. Understanding that, I believe I’ve come up with a way for us to break up on amicable terms. Basically, we can pretend to come up with a matter and express that our views are too different.

Following that, people will think that I’m simply a childish person living a fantasy. That way, you won’t be affected at all,” replied Xavia, causing Keith to go speechless. To think she was this willing to sacrifice herself just to get the breakup done with…

Regardless, Keith eventually replied, “…You’re a girl, you know…? You should really care a bit more about maintaining your image… That aside, you sound pretty insistent on breaking up with me… I wonder if it’s because of Uncle Zivon…”

Looking as condescending as ever, Zivon simply glared at the two individuals in silence. Keith was seated on the couch whereas Xavia was tugging on his collar… Though this boldness could simply be the couple having fun, it also felt somewhat intimate…

Sensing how frigid the room now was, Keith cleared his throat before removing Xavia’s hands off his collar as he said, “Look, Uncle Zivon is here… Be a good girl and let go first, alright…?”

It was clear that Keith’s words bore double meanings.

Regardless, Xavia didn’t notice that Zivon’s expression had turned even colder after Keith said that. After all, she was much more focused on releasing Keith’s collar while muttering…
