Quickly retracting her warm hand, Xavia grumbled, “You’re the most shameless person I’ve ever met!” “Aww, thank you, Honey,” replied Zivon with a grin, leaving Xavia utterly speechless… When she was finally able to cool off, Xavia sighed before heading over to the gift store next door… Upon noticing that Mark was still browsing through the items, she was prompted to ask, “Still looking?” Turning to look at her, Mark replied, “Well, she is the Great Lady, so she probably already has everything that she wants. Adding that to the fact that she’s your mother, I’m thinking of getting her something extra special… Truth be told, I’m thinking of making her a lavish gown. Sure, it’ll take a while, but I think I can manage. What do you think?” “Come to think of it, I remember Mom praising your designs a while back… You know what? I think your idea is perfect for her!” Nodding in response, Mark replied, “Guess I’ll head back to get started, then. Since Zivon is here, I’m sure he’ll take

Upon hearing that, everyone immediately turned to look at the pile of boxes that had arrived… and though the items inside were properly concealed, the store’s logo was clear for all to see… A logo that all of them recognized! Knowing full well that she had only bought undergarments, Xavia immediately wished that she could just vanish from the face of the earth! How embarrassing! It didn’t help that she was reminded of what Zivon had said! That he wanted her to wear a different pair on each day that passed from their wedding date…! Unable to handle the awkwardness, Xavia muttered, “I-I’ll be heading to my room first-” “W-wait, Xavia… Um… We were hoping to visit the Lockharts later to discuss your brothers… Why don’t you come with us?” interrupted Yasmin after clearing her throat. Recalling how James and Jacob had reacted around her, Xavia couldn’t help but say, “I… don’t think that’s wise… They don’t seem to like me…” “Nonsense! They’re just not as good at showing their affect

Her train of thought was cut short when she heard her mother call out to her. Shaking her head, she then got into the car before following her family home… By the time they got back, the kids were already waiting for her in their room. “Have you made up with Daddy, Mommy?” asked both of them. Realizing that they were still in the dark, Xavia quickly explained, “Of course! He couldn’t resist my charms, which is how I got him back in a single day!” “…Is that really the case? Daddy was ignoring you the entire time though… Are you sure you aren’t lying, Mommy…?” “Let’s give Daddy a video call to see if she’s telling the truth!” Before Xavia could stop them, the dialing tone could already be heard. Feeling helpless, Xavia was prompted to grumble, “…Am I really that untrustworthy…? A-ask away anyway! I’m telling the truth!” The second her sentence ended, Zivon popped up on screen. He had a black down jacket on, and he seemed to be sketching up new designs just moments ago. Gaze

Her every move was both professional and gentle, and once she was done, she took a few pictures before saying, “Alright, I’ll change your bandages again tomorrow morning, so get some rest for now. Don’t worry, I’ll be getting you your breakfast as well-” “Wait,” interrupted Zivon, instantly causing Fiona to beam. “…Hmm? As in, don’t leave? You know, I’ve never minded the thought of staying over…” “It’s not that. I’ll be busy tomorrow, and since I won’t be home, there’s no need for you to come over.” With her mood dampened almost immediately, Fiona couldn’t help but mutter, “…And here I got worked up over nothing… Oh well. I’ll just come over earlier, then.” Before he could even reply, she had already run off, prompting him to sigh before heading to bed… Nights in the countryside were tranquil, to say the least, and Zivon could soon hear his own breaths... The absolute silence gave him time to think about his current situation, and he had to admit that if he hadn’t met Xavia

With that, she happily wheeled herself to his bedroom to slip her leggings on. Since she was actually injured, she had to take a while to complete the task… and by the time she left the room, she saw that Zivon had already begun eating her food. The truth was, he had only eaten fast food earlier that day, so he had already been feeling rather hungry. Though he could’ve easily satiated that hunger by getting more fast food, the fact remained that Fiona had put in the effort to make this meal for him, so he wasn’t against saying, “Tastes good.” Overjoyed to hear that, Fiona exclaimed, “G-glad you like it, Zivon…! I spent an entire day watching cooking videos to make that, and I had to waste three whole chickens just to succeed! R-regardless, have more, Zivon! I made sure to choose a recipe that includes lots of herbs, so you can be sure that this meal is as nutritious as they come! Honestly, I still can’t believe that Sir Ian is heartless enough to put you through these torturing cha
