Chapter 1056

Was he ill? Or in danger…?! Her train of thought was cut short when Zivon—whose eyes had grown considerably darker—said in a deep voice, “Don’t overthink it. It’s seriously nothing. With that said, get some proper rest today and I’ll come get you tomorrow night.” Following that, Zivon left the scene… and shortly after, Xavia heard his car starting up before the man drove off… Even after he had left for a while, Xavia was unable to fully snap out of it. After all, wasn’t he usually the one who wanted to stay…? Why was he so intent on leaving this time…? Whatever his reasoning was, she couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable by his actions… …Perhaps it was simply because he wasn’t in the mood…? After all, Ava’s burial wasn’t all that long ago… Shaking her head, she then patted her cheeks to reassure herself that that was probably it… and after a deep breath, she sighed before re-entering the house to care for the children… The kids themselves were still awake, and they were hiding under the quilt while whispering things like, “Do you think Mommy and Uncle Zivon are kissing now, Brother Maison? Why don’t we try to peek!” “We can’t! We’d be killed if Daddy found out!” “But I’m dying to see them kissing! I’m sure it’ll be more romantic than those tv dramas!” “…Look, do you still want to have more siblings…?” “…I do…” “Then be good and just cover your ears… The more obedient we are, the sooner we’ll have ourselves a sibling…” Upon hearing all that, Xavia was left momentarily speechless. What were these two even saying?! Still, with how expectant the two sounded, she didn’t want to ruin their mood… In the end, she simply sighed subtly before returning to her room… As she made her way back, she recalled that they now had four videos completed, and they were pretty much ready to be published. However, since production of such videos required a lot of time, she, Bianca, and Dolly had decided to shoot ten more videos before uploading them together. This was because the three were aware that their first ten videos would either make or break the future of their career… With all that in mind, upon returning to her room, Xavia sighed before going through the materials again… Now was the time to go all out… Fast forward to early the next day, the children were surprised to find Xavia gardening in the yard. Unable to stop herself, Yulia was quick to ask, “Why are you up so early, Mommy…?” “Yeah… Is Daddy not up yet? Did he perform too poorly…?” added Maison, instantly causing Xavia to gag. Thank God Zivon wasn’t here to hear his son say such humiliating things! That aside, what were these kids even thinking?! Hoping to change the topic, Xavia quickly said, “…Um… Could you help me tutor Yulia whenever you have the time, Maison…?” “Of course! Though… How are things going between you and Daddy, Aunt…? I’d really love to have a new sister…” …There simply was no escaping the topic, was there? Following a sigh, Xavia was prompted to reply, “…Look, he had something urgent to do last night, so he didn’t stay here… He’ll be returning tonight though. With that said, run along and play and play nice as I make you two breakfast…” Before the kids could reply, Xavia had already begun transferring her freshly picked vegetables to the kitchen… She was halfway done with her breakfast preparations when Dolly returned… and upon seeing Xavia, she was quick to say, “…Hmm? Out of bed already? And here I was thinking of making breakfast for you since I assumed you wouldn’t be able to get up in time!” …Was there no way to avoid this topic?! Why was everyone so interested in this anyway?! In the end, Xavia was embarrassed throughout the day… It was around seven when Zivon showed up, and upon seeing him, Maison quickly ran up to his father. Grabbing onto Zivon’s hand, the boy then exclaimed, “Daddy! There you are! Was there really something that urgent that you had to leave last night?” “Yeah! Shouldn’t you be prioritizing Mommy? Either way, why don’t you take the chance to kiss and hug her already…?” added Yulia, prompting Xavia to go red in embarrassment. Did they really have to say such things the second he returned…?! Realizing that Zivon was now staring at her, she couldn’t help but gulp as she averted her gaze and muttered, “D-don’t look at me… They’ve been asking me such questions since this morning…” …Somehow, it felt like attempting to explain herself was making things worse for her! Oh, how she wished she could just die at this moment…!
