Chapter 1059
When the flabbergasted woman gave no response, Zivon moved the popcorn out of her hands… before hugging her tightly and giving her a deep kiss… With how gently he was guiding her tongue, she couldn’t help but completely melt in his arms… At the same time, her mind immediately began racing.
After all, from how things had been progressing, there was a high chance that Dolly’s prediction was right on the mark! He was probably going to propose to her any second now…!
Feeling simultaneously nervous and excited, Xavia ended up closing her eyes… If he was really proposing to her now, then there was no way she’d say no!
Regardless, as the expectant woman’s lips parted with Zivon’s, she soon realized that he was looking straight into her eyes… and before she could say anything, the man gently said, “…I’m dating Sophia for the next three months, so we won’t be seeing each other again until then…”
Upon hearing that, Xavia felt like she had just been doused in icy water. What…?! Where was this even coming from…?! Unsure how to even respond to that, all Xavia could do was wordlessly stare at him in her utter confusion…
With how confused she looked, Zivon couldn’t help but sigh before explaining, “…You see, before Grandma died, her final wish was for me to marry Sophia… I won’t be able to honor that wish, however, out of respect, I plan to at least abide by the matchmaking rules… In the end, this is the final time I’ll be able to grant her wish… That aside, Sophia and I are merely colleagues, so please just… let me do this for the next three months… Alright…?”
…So he was only doing that to honor Ava’s final wish… Since that was the case… him not wanting to meet her for the next three months must have been because he didn’t want the public to harm her… While she understood his reasoning and it was true that she was the one who had initially encouraged him to meet Sophia… the thought of him being with another woman still made her feel uneasy…
As Xavia remained silent, Zivon added, “Aside from that, I want you and Yulia to live abroad throughout these three months… Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten Yulia a spot at Fraucia’s Dancing Academy…”
This, of course, shocked Xavia even more. He didn’t even want her to remain in the country? Was he worried that she’d accidentally see him together with Sophia and get upset…? Or was he worried that she’d end up butting in…?
Feeling her heart sink, Xavia eventually replied, “…I’m not going… Do remember that I was the one who had initially suggested for you to date her… That aside, I can understand that you’re only doing this to pay your final respects to your grandmother… With that said, as long as you don’t come looking for me, I won’t show up in front of you. I promise I won’t throw any tantrums either.”
…It was truly touching that she was being this understanding… but even so, he still wanted her to go to Fraucia. After all, he really didn’t want her to get hurt if she accidentally bumped into him and Sophia… Aside from that, his decision to date Sophia would surely garner a sea of paparazzi to follow him around, night and day…
With that in mind, he was extremely worried that the paparazzi would snap pictures of them if he ended up giving into his urges and visiting Xavia within those three months. Her being within the country simply increased the odds of a plethora of new issues arising…
In the end, Zivon said, “…Please just go along with my idea… Please…? Don’t worry, I’ll have everything sorted out by the end of the third month, and you’ll be back by my side then…”
Despite how pitiful he sounded, Xavia was adamant about her decision. After a brief pause, she was prompted to stare straight into his eyes as she protested, “…Well, I have videos to film throughout that period too… I can’t just quit my job, can I…? With that said, please stop talking about sending me to Fraucia already…”
Upon hearing that, Zivon ultimately sighed… and after a brief pause, he gently kissed her on the forehead, nose, and lips. Before Xavia could say anything else, he was quick to say, “…Alright… You can stay here… Also… Mark my words. We’ll tie the knot once all this is over…”
When she heard that, Xavia’s eyes instantly widened. Was he saying that that was her prize for waiting? Or was it simply his way of reassuring her that she was his? Whichever it was, the fact remained that he was promising her something that important…!
After a long pause, Xavia gently pushed Zivon away while replying, “…Save that sweetness for the night of our wedding…”
