Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 617

Upon hearing that, Zivon’s face momentarily darkened, and complex emotions could be seen flashing across his eyes…

“It’s nothing.”

“No such thing.”

After sipping on his tea, Zivon said in a rather deep tone, “…Not only does that woman have a great influence on Maison, but she also makes me… experience complicated feelings…”

…Hmm? Complicated? This was the first time that old man had ever heard Zivon use that word to describe a woman. Before this, Zivon barely cared about any women he came across. With that in mind, the old man was rightfully shocked that Zivon was actually talking about her at her mere mention. Could it be that he had finally found a woman he was interested in after all these years…?

Now immensely curious, the old man couldn’t help but ask, “…What sort of woman is capable of making Maison talk and causing you to have complicated emotions? Also, define, ‘complicated emotions.’ Come to think of it, who even is she?”

Though Zivon looked slightly bitter, he eventually replied, “…It’s… Jenna’s younger twin sister…”

…Her… younger sister? His sister-in-law?! Nearly choking on his tea, the old man patted his chest for a while before muttering, “You… You’re in love with Jenna’s younger sister…?”

Upon hearing that, Zivon gave the old man a quick glance as he replied, “It seems you’ve learned how to make jokes, Fourth Uncle. Either way, it’s just-”

Zivon made sure to hold his tongue at the last minute, his expression even more complicated than before. He, for one, couldn’t understand his feelings for Xavia, and he had refused to think too deeply into it. Even so, he knew for a fact that only she was capable of making his emotions waver like this. However…

‘Do you know that I feel distressed every time I see you?’

Her words echoed in his mind once more, making Zivon look much sullener as he added, “…It’s nothing.”

“Come now, you can’t just tell me half the story! How dare you make me so curious!”

“…I’m just making it a bit fun for you so that you don’t die of boredom in here.”

Startled to hear that, the old man then sat up before asking, “She’s in here?”

“Indeed. She was charged for murder and has been sentenced to ten years in prison. Unfortunately, with how she’s taking things, she probably won’t survive till then… Even if she does, she’ll have lost her prime years by then… It’ll be extremely difficult for her—as an old woman—to make a comeback should she live till the day of her release…” muttered the guard rather sympathetically.

Even though guards like him were accustomed to dealing with prisoners, there were still inmates who could occasionally make them feel sad and distressed…

Regardless, the old man now had a complex expression on his face. To think that the woman who was able to make Zivon experience complicated emotions would be here… After pursing his lips for a bit, the old man eventually said, “…Please get her here. I need to enlighten her on something…”

“…That…” muttered the guard who felt like he had just been placed in a tough spot. However, when he thought about the Fourth Master’s special status and the fact that there were people keeping guard, he realized that nothing could really go wrong with that request.

With that in mind, the guard soon replied, “…Alright, I fetch her over.”
