Her sarcasm was overwhelming, and though Zivon felt hurt, that feeling paled compared to his current rage toward Whitney. Though Zivon was now glaring at her, Whitney simply revealed a smirk. After all, she knew that things were finally going her way. In the end, she simply said, “Well, I’ll be off first, then. Call me once you’ve settled things.” Watching as that bitchy woman walked off, Xavia had to actively fight the urge to slap her. She had no idea why Zivon would even want to be with such a whore, but that didn’t matter anymore. After all, the damage was done, and upon understanding that, a tear fell… and another… and another… Soon, the anguished woman was crying waterfalls… and though Zivon attempted to wipe her tears off, she simply slapped his hand away before whimpering, “Don’t touch me…!” Her voice was brimming with disgust, and after a brief pause, Zivon sighed before saying, “…Look, I can’t properly explain things now, and I’m sure you won’t believe anything that I

Zivon only had simple black pajamas on, but as usual, anything that he wore seemed to magically make the charming man look good. The fact that he had left his top two buttons unbuttoned only served to make him look cooler than ever… Smiling subtly as she watched him walk over to her, Xavia hugged him tightly before muttering, “…Sorry for saying all that last night, Hubby…” Naturally, Zivon was stunned to hear that. After all, he had expected her to at least yell or tell him to get lost, but… Not this. Had she fried her brain due to how sad she was…? Before he could reply, he heard her add, “Look, the kids were disappointed when you weren’t there after the movie ended, so I told them that you only left because of work, and that it happened during the post-credit scenes… Though they didn’t complain any further, I could tell that they were still sad, and honestly, so was I. After all, it had been ages since we had been together as a family, though most of that is honestly my fault…”

“T-that’s not what I meant…! I was merely praising you out of love, not lust! Besides, haven’t we done enough since last night…? Just give me a break…” grumbled the flustered woman. Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “Oh…? So you’re saying you haven’t found my sexual prowess praiseworthy…? Hmm…?” …Was sex all this man could think about?! That aside… She had to admit that he was extremely good in bed… In the end, the blushing woman muttered, “…Look, I’m praising you because of my love and how good you are in bed! Happy…?” Chuckling in response, he then lifted her in his arms before carrying her into the elevator… and once they were inside, he pinned her against the wall while saying, “Speaking of which… I faintly remember you saying that you thought that I ‘looked’ like your husband last night… Does that mean you were fine with sleeping with a stranger…?” …Damn it, she had blurted such things out while she was drunk…?! She couldn’t deny that she had been thinking about reliev

It was on the third morning, the day that he was supposed to give his explanation, when Xavia awoke to the sight of Zivon tidying up the room… Slightly surprised to see him up so early, the groggy woman couldn’t help but ask, “Honey…? What are you doing so early in the morning…? Also, let me do the tidying instead…” Turning to look at her, he simply chuckled before replying, “Hey, women aren’t the only ones who know how to tidy the place up… Remember, to me, your hands are extremely beautiful, and they shouldn’t be limited to doing housework…” Watching as he held her hands in his, Xavia couldn’t help but admire how elegant, yet firm they felt… They made her feel reassured… It took him a while, but he eventually smiled while adding, “Speaking of which, my hands aren’t only for work either… They’re also important for hugging you tightly…” …Was he seriously getting all sappy this early in the morning? After a yawn, Xavia mumbled, “…For some reason, your gaze feels extra gentle tod

Before Zivon could even reply, Whitney had already slammed the door behind her… Pissed by her arrogance, Nathan clenched his fist and growled, “She’s really pushing it, Young Master Burton…!” Zivon knew that, of course… However, he also knew that it was his own decision to cooperate with her. With that in mind, he wasn’t in any position to change her terms… Just as the frustrated man was rubbing his forehead, his message notification tone rang… It was Ian. ‘Xavia’s fine, and she should wake up in about two hours.’ Heaving a sigh of relief, Zivon realized that he didn’t regret his decision too much. After all, though he had sacrificed a lot, she was alive, and that was all that mattered… In fact, he didn’t even feel like visiting her after this… After all, she already knew that he was going to divorce her, and he didn’t need to add to her suffering… Moving back to the ward, the doctors had honestly not expected Xavia to take so long to wake up again. After all, fainting from s
