Chapter 2889

Soon enough, he was in his usual lab coat, and as he was working on his new project, he heard his curious co-worker ask, “What’s that, Professor? I don’t think I saw anything like it in our project list…” Not even bothering to glance back, he indifferently replied, “A little personal project.” …Oh? Now everyone was even more curious! “…You know, if you’re working so diligently on it, we at least know who you’re making it for…” “Right? Mrs. Burton sure is a lucky woman! I wonder if it’s her birthday or anniversary…” Raising a slight brow, Zivon eventually looked up and replied, “…Do you all want to work overtime?” Naturally, nobody wanted that, and they awkwardly bowed before hurrying off, causing the lab to fall silent once more… As the brilliant mind continued working tirelessly on the project, Xavia herself was busy organizing her work with Bianca and Dolly’s help. Eventually, Dolly couldn’t help but ask, “…Honestly, why the big rush? It’s not like you have anniversaries due… Besides, even if there is a big day, isn’t he normally the one who surprises you?” Upon hearing that, Xavia replied, “There is, in fact, a big day, and since he always does that to me, I figured that it was high time I did the same…” “…You two really were made for each other, you know? Still… Do you really need to go through all this effort when we all know that he’ll probably prefer seeing you naked in bed more?” “I-I beg your pardon?!” “What? Oh… Right. You do it all the time now, so it’s probably lost its meaningfulness, huh?” replied Dolly, leaving Xavia speechless. Just what was wrong with her best friend?! Either way, the special day soon came, and after putting the kids to sleep that night, Zivon held Xavia’s hand and said, “Come with me for a bit…” Though slightly surprised, Xavia quickly shook her head before replying, “Um… Did you prepare a surprise for me…? If so, then I’ve made one for you as well… Do you mind if I show mine first?” Beaming when he heard that, Zivon nodded, prompting her to lead him to his car before handing him some coordinates as she said, “Alright, drive to this location… You’ll find out what it is soon enough.” Even more intrigued now, Zivon smiled throughout the journey to the location. Sure, he was a man rich enough to get anything he wanted, but he couldn’t help but find it amusing that he was still so excited about a gift from his wife… Regardless, it was about half an hour later when the car finally stopped in the city’s outskirts…
