[I’m already on the plane. Don’t think about it too much.]
[Alright.]
Xavia was slightly relieved after seeing Dolly’s reply, but her heart was still in turmoil.
Why was it always women who got hurt?
How could Kevin be so heartless? How could he not even want his own child?
“You should sleep now so you’ll have the energy to keep her company when you get to Darlsbury.” Zivon, who was next to her, suddenly spoke softly.
Xavia nodded and closed her eyes, but there were so many thoughts running through her mind that she could not fall asleep.
Eventually, she opened her eyes and said angrily, “Kevin is a selfish wretch who only cares about himself and refuses to accept any responsibility. I really want to find him and beat him up! If anything happens to Dolly, I’ll never let him off.”
She was filled with righteous indignation.
Zivon gazed at her intently, then said, “On the other hand, a man like me is hard to find and that’s why you should cherish me.”
Xavia stared at him, speechless. Was he actually taking this opportunity to praise himself?
The man was truly shameless.
However, it was undeniable that Zivon was not as heartless as Kevin when he found out that there was a ‘child’. He even assumed responsibility and became attached to it.
He was indeed different from other men.
“Xav, I won the bet,” the man reminded her calmly.
Back then, they had agreed that if he won the bet, she would take a step forward.
Xavia’s heart was beating fast, and she looked flustered and nervous.
That’s right… he had won.
Xavia slept peacefully, and after a long time, she was awakened by the sound of her cell phone ringing. She woke up in a daze and answered the call.
“Xavia, where are you? I wanted to go out for a walk but the doctor stopped me and wouldn’t let me leave. At first, I thought your elder brother had sent the doctor here to keep an eye on me because he cared about me, but then I realized that the doctors were actually sent here by Young Master Burton. Kevin really doesn’t care about me at all… Why are there people as heartless as him on this planet? We’ve been sleeping together for so long, and I’ve done everything he asked for. How can he be so cruel?”
The sound of Dolly’s anguished sobbing emerged from the other end of the phone.
A pregnancy and a breakup… How could she not be devastated?
Xavia’s heart clenched when she heard Dolly’s words. “You insisted on hooking up with him from the very beginning even though I told you not to. It’s alright, I think I should be arriving soon. Wait for me. I’ll call him and scold him now, and I’ll make sure he meets you.”
“Don’t…” Dolly protested anxiously, “He’s too proud… he won’t care at all even if you scold him. Xavia, just tell him that I’m dying and ask him to come and see me. Please.”
Xavia was speechless.
Why was she still trying to not trouble him at a time like this? However, Xavia did not want to upset her, so she could only agree and end the call.
Only after Xavia settled down did she realize something—she was sitting on someone’s lap!
