Chapter 1057

Zivon himself simply raised a brow… But eventually, he knelt on one knee before the children as he said, “It was quite important, yes… Though… I’m free tonight, so I can take her out on a movie date. With that said, can I trust you two to hang around Dolly while we’re gone?” Overjoyed to hear that, the children then exclaimed, “No problem! We’ll behave as well as we can so that we’ll get a new sibling soon!” Chuckling as he patted the two on their heads, Zivon then turned to look at Xavia before asking, “Do you want to change? Or are you fine leaving like this?” Upon hearing that, Xavia instantly went red. The fact that he hadn’t reprimanded the kids… Meant that he didn’t mind getting them a sibling…?! That aside, was he assuming that she’d agree to all this?! Now flustered beyond words, Xavia was quick to say, “I-I’ll go get a change!” Following that she bolted into her room’s bathroom before dousing her hair with a stream of icy water! They were just going to see a movie together for god’s sake! A-as for why he hadn’t explained things to the kids… I-it must have been because he assumed that the kids were too young to understand! Yeah, that was most probably it…! After five whole minutes of trying to convince herself that that was the case, she finally managed to calm down a little… However, it was at that moment that she realized her blunder. Why the hell had she taken a shower?! Xavia simply couldn’t catch a break today…! In the end, it took her another fifteen minutes before she was finally ready to meet Zivon again… Zivon himself was soon greeted by the beautiful woman whose straight hair fell on both shoulders, giving enough space for her enticing collarbone to be in view. As for her choice in clothing, she had a floral-patterned halter dress on, and when paired with her silky-white cardigan, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Xavia looked exactly like a teen… As a glimmer appeared in his eyes, Zivon walked up to Xavia before guiding her toward his car… and once they were close enough, he made sure to get the door for her. As Zivon headed to the driver’s seat, Xavia couldn’t help but notice the popcorn, beverages, and even a bouquet of pink roses in the back seat… Once Zivon was inside, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…Um… I-isn’t this a bit much…? What’s the occasion…?” “Isn’t doing this much normal for a boyfriend?” replied Zivon, sounding as enticing as ever. …While that was true, this was still rather uncharacteristic of Zivon… As she meekly stared at the man, she couldn’t help but think that his facial features were so magnificent that he looked like he had walked straight out of a renaissance painting… …What the hell was she thinking?! With her mind now racing, the anxious woman ended up secretly sending Dolly a text that stated, ‘Young Master Burton is behaving rather oddly today! He’s far gentler with me, and he even got me pink roses! Do you think this means anything…?’ ‘Girl, he’s clearly going to propose to you soon! After all, you two have been together for ages, and now that Jenna and Ava are out of the way, it’s high time he did it!’ …That… made sense! Even so… In the end, Xavia replied, ‘…What should I do if that really happens?’ ‘…Are you daft? You accept his proposal, of course! F*ck conservatism, you’ve been with him long enough to know that he’s as sincere as they get! Strike while the iron’s hot, as they say, and the sooner you two get married, the better!’ …Why did she even bother asking Dolly… Still, she had to admit that with how nice Zivon had been treating her, she wouldn’t be able to refuse his proposal anyway… Despite knowing that, Xavia continued worrying about it till the moment they arrived at the drive-in theatre… From the looks of it, there were already many others waiting for the movie to start. Zivon managed to find a spot right in the middle of the first row… and the second he parked the car, the surrounding lights were turned off. As advertisements began playing on the big screen, Xavia could vaguely hear people making out in the other vehicles…! How discomforting to date in such a place…! Feeling her palms get sweaty, the anxious girl was prompted to ask, “…U-um…! What… movie are we watching…?” “Nathan got us the tickets, and I haven’t had the time to look at the title…” replied Zivon as he unbuckled his seat belt and leaned a bit closer to her…!
