...Keith cooking in the kitchen with an apron on! What more, he appeared to have prepared a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers—that laid on the kitchen table—for her as well!
By god! How could such a prestigious young master be cooking?! If Keith’s parents saw this, they’d definitely scold her! With that in mind, Xavia quickly ran over to Keith while exclaiming, “Y-Young Master Keith…! Um… Why are you…? Look, could you just… go continue resting…? I’ll handle the rest…”
“Just give me a moment. Though soup is the only thing I can make, I at least want to do this much for you… Please let me finish…” replied Keith as he gently held onto her hands.
“I insist… I should be the one in charge of meals, so just sit back and relax, alright…?” said Xavia.
“This again…? Third Young Lady, while I appreciate that you wish to show me your gratitude, please don’t disallow me from showing my sincerity, you hear?” replied Keith in a slightly serious tone.
Before Xavia could reply, he had already moved her over to a seat to sit her down… Looking at how stern his eyes were, Xavia found herself momentarily speechless. Just as she was wondering how to even proceed, she heard two familiar voices call out, “Aunt!”
“Mommy!”
Turning to face the two children—who were now running toward her—, Xavia quickly put on a smile as she replied, “Well, both of you are up early…”
“Mm! Sleeping next to Maison was so comfortable! I want to sleep next to him tonight, too! Um… What’s that nice smell…? What’s for breakfast?” asked the cheery Yulia who began sniffing the air.
Upon hearing that, Keith served up a bowl of soup before saying, “I prepared this chicken soup with a special tonic specifically for your mommy. Try it out and see if it’s good.”
“Oh wow! You made that for mommy? I… like you a bit more now…” replied Yulia who had never seen a man cook for her mother before.
…That little foodie…!
Regardless, though the atmosphere was harmonious—with both adults and Yulia getting along well—, Maison, on the other hand, was in a rather sour mood.
After all, Zivon hadn’t eaten at all last night. Not only that, but he had also gone straight to the company this morning. Despite that, Xavia didn’t seem to care at all! What was so good about some chicken soup!
Unbeknownst to her, the second the trio left the North Court, Keith instantly tightened his grip, causing the paper cup in his hand to crumple! Though water was now all over the floor, Keith—who now had veins bulging on his pale forehead—ultimately had to kneel with one knee to keep his cool…
Naturally, his startled secretary quickly ran over while asking, “Y-young master…?! Is your illness acting up again…?!”
However, before the secretary could do a thing, Keith glared at him with his reddened eyes before choking the man by his neck! As if that wasn’t already enough, Keith then pinned the man to the ground as well!
As the secretary struggled to breathe, he heard Keith growl, “I’ve been so god d*mned good to you…! Why the hell do you want me to leave…?! Huh?! Tell me!”
Sputtering weakly, the secretary wailed, “Y-young Master…! P-please…! Can’t…! breathe…!”
It took the secretary quite a bit of effort, but he eventually managed to grab the sedative spray—that he always had on him—before spraying it on Keith’s face! Shortly after, Keith finally collapsed to the ground…
