Chapter 309

Xavia said, “… I’m not hungry yet. I’ll eat later. I want to continue sleeping.” “Huh, no. Madam has specifically asked me to come over to get you. Don’t make things difficult for me.” Daphne pulled Xavia up. She was very responsible in fulfilling the orders given by the madam every time. Xavia was helpless, and she could only go with Daphne. However, she had mixed feelings, and she also felt a little irritated. This was the eighth day ever since she left the villa. She initially thought that she would not have to see Zivon again, and she did not know what kind of mentality she should have when she faced him. “Xavia is here. Come here quickly. We are waiting for him.” Then, just as Xavia was lost in her thoughts, Mrs. Lockhart spoke as soon as she walked into the dining room. When Xavia raised her gaze, she saw everyone seated at the elegant European-style long table. And that dark and dignified figure looked like the most attractive painting in high society in all of its glory even when he was simply sitting there. Inexplicably, she started feeling very nervous, flustered, and awkward when she saw him in such an environment. She averted her gaze, bowed her head, and walked over to sit next to Matthew. Matthew handed her soup spoon over to her and instructed, “Your complexion does not look that good today. So you should drink more soup.” Mrs. Lockhart quickly added, “That’s right. You have to give Jenna a blood transfusion. So, you should drink more and nourish your body. Besides that, if Stefan Talton sees you looking so fragile, he will say that we are bullying you.” Xavia was speechless. So, she only cared about those things? Mrs. Lockhart actually did not care about her body at all. She smiled and did not say anything. Instead, she quietly drank the bowl of tonic soup. There were red dates, wolfberries, ginseng, and a series of expensive herbs in the soup. Xavia usually forced herself to drink it, and she intended to do the same today. However, as soon as she started drinking it, she suddenly felt nauseous. Bleurgh! She suddenly vomited. The expression of the people at the table instantly changed. “What’s wrong?” “Miss Lockhart, are you feeling unwell?” Even Zivon looked at her. He had a profound and concerned look in his eyes as he looked at the pale and uncomfortable expression upon her face. When Mrs. Lockhart saw her like that, she suddenly thought of something and asked in shock, “You… Could it be that you’re pregnant?” Pregnant?! That one word was like a heavy bomb that exploded in the air, scaring everyone and giving rise to all sorts of speculations. Could it be that Xavia had already done that with Stefan, and she was now pregnant? Or could it be because she had been staying in Zivon’s villa for some time when she was playing the role of his wife? Could it be that the lone man and woman could not control their urges, and Xavia ended up getting pregnant? Was the child Stefan’s or Zivon’s? Zivon was shocked. Pregnant? He remembered that when Xavia went back to the villa with him, he had accidentally overheard that she did not have any intimate relations with Stefan. After that, she had also been staying in his villa. Even if she had had intimate relations with Stefan the other day when they met, she would not get pregnant so soon. So… Could it be the night before they left S City? Was it his child? Everyone’s gaze was extremely stern and sharp, and this was especially so for the overwhelming and burning look in Zivon’s eyes that was so oppressive and made her feel as if she was suffocating. Xavia did not expect Mrs. Lockhart to make such a speculation, and she really did not expect that Zivon would be staring at her like that. That was right. Jenna was about to wake up soon, and his life was about to return to normal. If she was really pregnant and the child was his, it would definitely distress him. He must also be thinking about that night in S City. He must be thinking that she had ill intentions and did not take the contraceptive pill. That was the reason why he was looking at her with that look in his eyes. Unfortunately, she was not that shameless. She did not want to get pregnant with his child any more than he did! Xavia patted her chest, took a sip of the plain water, and said, “I’m not pregnant. I’ve been doing daily checkups lately, and if I were pregnant, Dr. Rudner would have already found out about it long ago. Besides that, I haven’t seen Stefan in such a long time, so the timing does not add up anyway.” She explained that she was not pregnant, and she mentioned Stefan only briefly. So she was indirectly saying that even if she were pregnant, the child would be Stefan’s and not Zivon’s. Nothing was going on between her and Zivon. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened between the both of them. They were overthinking it. Zivon used to be so lukewarm toward Jenna, so how could he be interested in Xavia, who was no match for Jenna? On the contrary, Zivon’s gaze fell, and it gradually deepened to the point that it was eventually dark and gray. Why did he suddenly feel a sense of despair rising in his heart when he found out that she was not pregnant?
