Kevin never said things he didn’t mean, and it was common knowledge that he loved Jenna. He’d never allow anyone to ruin Jenna’s happiness…
Even so, Xavia didn’t want to just retreat like this.
Taking a deep breath, she then retorted, “…If you leak this out, I’m sure the media will have another field day once I share that Dolly leaped off a building because of you. I may as well tell them that you refused to claim responsibility for your child as well.”
Her statement left Kevin shocked. To think that she was still resisting him…!
After a brief pause, Kevin retorted, “…Understand that I’m giving you a chance now. You should know that your behavior is immoral!”
Naturally, Xavia knew that. Why else had she been beating around the bush with Zivon for this long?
However, she was about to compromise with Kevin. With that, she looked him straight in the eyes as she replied, “Oh? We’re talking about immorality now? Why didn’t you consider that when you told Dolly to abort your child, then? Do you really have a right to talk about morality when you caused my poor friend to leap off a building from heartache?”
“Things aren’t as simple as you think they are, Kevin. With that said, mind your own business, and don’t you dare hurt Dolly again,” concluded Xavia as she pushed the car door open and got out…
Watching as Xavia began walking away, the speechless Kevin couldn’t help but smack his steering wheel! D*mn it all…!
While Xavia had won the argument this time, she was also well aware of what was right and wrong. With that in mind, she was now wondering why she had been so bold to say all that. She’d surely be condemned by those words on a later day…
Whatever the case was, after taking care of Dolly in the morning, Xavia—who maintained a slightly bad mood throughout the day—picked Yulia up and brought her to Bianca to shoot a video together… and soon enough, an entire day had passed.
With how busy Xavia was with her work, she didn’t really pay any attention to Zivon… that is, till the moment she awoke the very next day. Upon looking at her phone, she realized that she had several unread messages and three missed calls, all from Zivon…!
‘I’m in Milan. Why haven’t you greeted me yet? Are you that busy?’
While she didn’t know whether he believed her or not, his deep voice soon replied, “…I’ll believe you for the time being. That aside, were you really that busy to the point where you completely forgot to miss me…?”
…Like hell she had the time to miss him! Shaking the thought off, the embarrassed Xavia then said, “…Of course I missed you…”
“…Oh? Do elaborate a little…” replied Zivon, his interest piqued.
Even though Xavia couldn’t see him at the moment, she could already imagine how dispirited he probably was. Flustered by the thought of his eyes alone, Xavia then muttered, “…I… how do I even say this… That aside, isn’t it already nighttime there…? Why aren’t you sleeping yet…?”
Before Zivon could reply, Jenna’s voice could be heard saying, “I’ll leave your clothes on the table, Zivon.”
Her statement caused a lump to form in Xavia’s throat. They… were staying together? Also, clothes? For him to change into after a shower? Feeling slightly jealous, Xavia then tentatively said…
