Chapter 1017

There wasn’t much space between them, and Zivon held onto Xavia’s tiny hand the entire time… Eventually, he was prompted to say, “Why don’t we head to the hospital to meet up with Yulia first?” Nodding in response, Xavia replied, “Yeah… Since she’s now up, it’s best to give her more company… With that said, I’m planning on sleeping with Yulia in the hospital tonight. You can head back to get some rest yourself, Young Master Burton…” Sensing how distant her voice was, Zivon couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he asked, “…Are you angry? Just so you know, I told President Harrison what kind of girl I liked before this, and she didn’t believe me in the end. Because of that, she requested that I brought you along on her birthday.” “Since you two would be meeting a lot in the future anyway, I saw no harm in the idea. Besides, since I already have you now, I figured it’d be better if I attended her birthday dinner with you. It’d certainly be better than just attending with her in private.” Zivon’s statement made Xavia purse her lips. Wasn’t he implying that he and Sophia would meet much more in the future? That aside, while it was thoughtful of him to consider her feelings regarding eating in private with Sophia, it still meant that he had done the same thing a lot in the past. Xavia couldn’t really explain why, but whenever she thought about how fitting Zivon and Sophia looked together, she could feel a burning sensation in her heart… His affection toward her was just… different. It didn’t help that Sophia knew him so well. In the end, Xavia replied, “…I’m fine. I’m not angry. I enjoyed the food there… That aside, I’m fine with you eating out with her without me. After all, you’re just business partners, and I can understand that…” Though Xavia had the perfect façade on, Zivon could still tell that there was something wrong. Gently grabbing her by her cheeks, Zivon then said, “Are you messing around with me…?” …She had just said that everything was fine, had she not…? Still, the last thing Xavia wanted was to argue with him about it. After all, that’d only make her seem petty. With that in mind, Xavia ultimately replied, “…I’m not… If I sound weird, it’s probably because of my stomachache… You know what? Do stop any pharmacies we pass. I’m getting some digestive tablets…” After Xavia placed her hands over her stomach, Zivon bought her excuse. After all, from what he could tell, she really didn’t have any reason to be upset. As Chace had previously mentioned, women liked being recognized, and since he had explained why he had brought her along, Xavia was most probably just suffering from her stomachache. Feeling that he had really over thought things this time, Zivon then released his grip on her before ordering, “Hurry to the hospital, Nathan.” Within fifteen minutes, the car arrived at the hospital’s underground car park. Not wanting him to ask further questions, Xavia simply allowed him to bring her to a doctor, and within minutes, she had ingested some stomach-soothing pills. With that done, the duo then headed to Yulia’s VIP ward that Zayne had arranged for the child… Since it was a VIP ward, it contained a one-and-a-half-meter companion bed, and even a washroom inside. It truly was a luxurious room… Regardless, upon realizing that Yulia was sleeping, Xavia slowly inched back out before placing a finger over her lips while whispering, “It seems that Yulia’s asleep… Let’s keep it that way. Since that’s the case, why don’t you head back first? You can drop by early tomorrow morning to talk to her once she’s awake…” To her dismay, Zivon simply raised his brow as he replied, “Why are you so intent on chasing me off? Regardless, Nathan’s already left, so I’ll be sleeping here with you tonight.” …What?! What if the doctors or nurses saw them?! That aside, she really wasn’t in the mood to be with him tonight… Before Xavia could reject the idea, however, Zivon had already planted his lips on hers…
