She really wanted to give him what he wanted at the moment… and after pursing her lips, she said in a determined voice, “…I promise that I’ll try to trust you more from now on… Also, if I ever misunderstand you, I’ll properly ask for clarification… That aside, I won’t mention break ups anymore, regardless of the situation…”
After saying all that, Xavia stood on tiptoe and gave him a tight hug… Before giving him a kiss! With how gentle she was, it was evident that everything that she had just said had come from her heart… and Zivon back couldn’t help but stiffen a little as he stared at the alluring yet clumsy woman…
Shortly after, he gently pushed her away before saying, “…If we continue kissing here I may not be able to hold myself back…”
…This man…! He really had a knack for turning romantic scenes into erotic ones…! Xavia’s train of thought was cut short when her phone suddenly began ringing… and upon fishing it out, she realized that the caller was Keith!
Meekly turning at Zivon, Xavia was prompted to ask, “…Um… What should I do…? Should I answer…?”
Raising a slight brow, Zivon then replied, “Didn’t you say you were planning to piss me off? Go right ahead…”
…To think that he had the nerve to joke around at this moment! After a brief pause, Xavia was prompted to say, “…Fine, I’ll go then… Though if you get too depressed by my absence, I’d recommend leaping into the sea and drowning instead of jumping off a building… After all, you could end up getting disabled instead of dying if you try the latter…”
Gently pinching her cheek in response, Zivon then said, “You’ll be the one to jump before I do… And if you ever consider it, I may as well prepare a shark tank for you to leap into.”
Feeling a chill run down her spine, Xavia knew better than to continue joking around with him. Still… After a brief silence, Xavia added, “…On a more serious note, it isn’t right for me to suddenly cancel our meeting when I was the one who called him over… With that said… is half an hour with him fine…? It’ll just be a quick dinner! If you’re still worried, I can record our conversation throughout that half-hour! Please…?”
Xavia, for one, really didn’t want to cancel their meeting since she knew full well that Keith was ill…
Regardless, after taking her anxiousness into account and thinking about it for a short while, Zivon eventually replied, “…You have ten minutes.”
…W-what?! Only ten minutes?! While Xavia wanted to argue that that simply wasn’t enough time, after giving it some thought, she realized that coming from him, ten minutes was already quite the achievement… With that in mind, she quickly replied, “Got it!”
“…With all that in mind, I’m willing to give you freedom… All I ask in exchange is that we can continue getting along as friends…” concluded Keith in a serious tone.
This, of course, left Xavia stunned. She really hadn’t expected Keith to say such things… It took her a while to respond, but she eventually replied, “You… Was the hypnotic treatment a success?!”
Nodding subtly, Keith then said, “I’m not sure if I’m fully cured, but the doctor did say that if I’m capable of thinking this way, it means that I’m on the right track…”
“I’ll say! Hold on, I’m sending a message to Zivon to tell him that I’m accompanying you for a meal to celebrate your recovery!” exclaimed the overjoyed Xavia who truly felt happy for Keith from the bottom of her heart.
As expected, Keith’s expression soured a little when he heard that… and shortly after, he was prompted to ask, “…So… That thing you had to do… Was accompanying Uncle Zivon…?”
…Cr*p.
