Chapter 1042

Zivon then continued, “Grandma fell sick on the first night at the villa, that's why I stayed so long. I wasn’t intentionally ignoring your call. As for leaving that night… it was because I saw the news about you and Keith.” His tone was laced with the anger he felt back then. Xavia was stunned. He thought that she was being cold and distant towards him because of Keith? Xavia protested, “If there was anything between me and him, I wouldn’t have sent supper to you the next day.” Speaking of supper, she suddenly recalled something. “You misunderstood me because of what happened the night before, then misunderstood me even more because you saw me together with him at the office afterwards? You just got mad and refused to talk about it?” Zivon did not deny it. “You did not explain anything or show that you were upset. Instead, you were just being distant. What did you think I would assume?” Xavia looked embarrassed. “I… I was trying to suppress my emotions. I knew that there was nothing between you and her so I did not want to be unreasonable and make a fuss.” And as a result, the situation had become much worse. “I already told you that you can tell me anything. Also, isn’t it normal for a girlfriend to throw a tantrum and get jealous?” Zivon’s tone was gentle and understanding, as if he would willingly tolerate any tantrum she threw. Xavia’s heart skipped a beat and she felt a lump in her throat. She did not want to throw a tantrum but he was being so doting and affectionate as he indulged her, and it made her feel as though all of her suffering had been in vain. It also made her seem narrow-minded, shrewd, and insecure. Xavia sniffed and did not speak. The atmosphere was extremely quiet for a long time. Neither one of them expected that their own misunderstandings and failure to communicate were the cause of their conflict. Finally, Zivon apologized calmly, “I was the one who did not handle things properly and got mad at you without asking you for an explanation. I’m sorry.” Xavia clenched her fists tightly. Truth be told, it wasn’t entirely Zivon’s fault. It was normal for him to be concerned about his grandmother, just like how she had when she initially wanted to let him go when taking her grandmother into account. However, he had never intended to let go of her, and he was also trying all sorts of methods so that she could be together with him openly and rightfully. After that, it had been her own mishandling of the situation. Although she did not lose her temper, she had treated him coldly which had actually been much worse. In the end, when he had confronted her, she impulsively asked to break up and they had parted unhappily. After thinking about it, Xavia pursed her lips and admitted, “I was also at fault; I don’t blame you.” Zivon stroked her head and hugged her even tighter. “You’re right. Be good and take the necklace back, okay? I’ll take my time to make it up to you. What do you say?” Doting, gentle, and pleading. Xavia’s heart softened when she heard his voice, but after a while, she said remorsefully, “It’s too late.” Zivon narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “What do you mean?” Recalling what happened last time, his tone was heavy as he asked, “Did you make an agreement with Keith Burton or any other man?” Xavia blinked at him. “I…” “Do you believe me when I say that I’ll kill you right here and dig out your brain to see what’s inside if you dare say yes?” Zivon gritted his teeth and forced himself to say. Of course he didn't mean it, but he was just frustrated. Which man wouldn’t be angry and anxious if their girlfriend spent time with a man who liked her? Xavia hurriedly said, “No, I did no such thing, but I did push you away…” She took out her cell phone weakly. The screen showed her Facebook post, which was already trending. #Sophia Harrison scored 100 points# Sophia Harrison used her mother’s account to take the test and her score was 100 points. She only hid her ranking because she was being boycotted. If her mother did not find Xavia Lockhart, she would not have said it at all. Therefore, according to the rules, Sophia Harrison should date Young Master Burton for three months. What do you all think? Netizen A: We really do not have the right to disqualify her.
