...Spoil her for the rest of her life…
True enough, Xavia had always felt that as long as she didn’t go out of her way to anger Zivon, then he’d care a lot about her… For example, that time when he had disregarded his safety to save Keith just for her sake… And when he had returned to Darlsbury with her—while he was on his working trip on Milan—, making sure to stick by her side the entire time… Hell, he had even given her access to his precious house…!
No woman could resist such care, and the same went for Xavia. Regardless, after thinking about it and getting all flustered, Xavia eventually nodded before awkwardly replying, “…Alright…”
Though she had agreed, she still knew that dealing with her grandmother’s affair wasn’t going to be easy…
Regardless, once dinner was over—and they had entered their car—Zivon was prompted to casually say, “Don’t think too much about Fourth Uncle’s words… Though he loves talking, he’s a really kind man, and he never has bad intentions. If I haven’t already mentioned it, it’s his birthday today, and his only condition was to meet you. Naturally, I couldn’t refuse.”
…So that was why! Though… from the way Zivon had said it, wasn’t Fourth Uncle a little too keen on meeting her…?
Shaking the thought off, the surprised girl then replied, “Why didn’t you at least tell me it was his birthday today…?”
She was asking since not only had she failed to prepare a gift, but she hadn’t even wished him ‘happy birthday’! How embarrassing!
Turning to look at her with a gentle gaze, Zivon then smiled as he said, “What? Already wanting to please my elders before you’ve even married into my family?”
…Like hell she was! How did he always jump to conclusions like that?! Just as Xavia was feeling simultaneously embarrassed and irked, Zivon’s phone suddenly began ringing… It was a call from Maison.
“…Either way, why don’t you take the time tonight to keep Lady Burton company? After all, her days are numbered and you should try to care for her as much as possible while you still can… Otherwise, you’ll surely regret not doing so once she’s gone…” concluded Xavia in a serious tone.
Xavia, for one, understood she still had failed to do many things for her grandmother… Including getting her good clothes, bringing her out for a meal… Hell, she hadn’t even taken her grandmother out to have a look around the bustling city…
It didn’t help that even though Xavia now had the money to give all those to her grandmother, she knew that that old woman wouldn’t be able to properly enjoy them… The thought of it alone brought a tear to Xavia’s eyes… and upon seeing that, Zivon instantly stopped the car.
Raising a slight brow, Zivon was prompted to ask, “What’s going on exactly, Xavia?”
Realizing that she had gotten too emotional, she quickly wiped her tears off before saying, “I-it’s nothing… Basically, I had been bored earlier, so I watched a family movie… And in the end, that got me thinking about my grandmother who tumbled down a mountain about four years ago… In the end, she became semi-vegetative, and since I haven’t met her since then… Well… It’s saddening, to say the least…”
