Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1212

“…Um… Why don’t you head home for the night, Miss Harrison…? Young Master Burton is really angry at the moment… That aside, I’m sorry I didn’t attempt harder to talk you out of it earlier… I shouldn’t have just agreed to help you…” muttered the concerned Xavia as she handed Sophia a black umbrella.

Hah! As if things would proceed this smoothly if she hadn’t helped her earlier! This buffoon of a woman…! Despite her malicious thoughts, Sophia was careful to keep her saddened façade on as she replied, “…It was my choice to do it. Regardless, since you did everything that I ordered, I’ll believe in your sincerity for the time being. Now head back to the villa. As you said, he’s furious right now. I’ll take care of all this tomorrow…”

Following that, Sophia got into a kneeling position and remained silent… Despite how drenched the depressed woman was, she didn’t appear keen to take Xavia’s umbrella at all…

This left Xavia flabbergasted. Was Sophia really undergoing this torture just to prove her dedication…? Wasn’t all this a bit f*cked up…? Regardless, since Sophia wasn’t accepting her kindness, Xavia simply sighed before placing the umbrella next to Sophia. Following that, she returned to her room to get some rest…

It was early the next morning when Nathan hesitantly asked, “…Is… your body fine, Young Master Burton…?”

Nathan, for one, hadn’t expected that Sophia, of all people, would end up drugging Young Master Burton… Just how much more physical and mental anguish did this man have to endure throughout his life…?

The prestigious Zivon himself simply slipped his elegant suit on before replying, “I’m fine. That aside, get me the villa’s surveillance footage from yesterday afternoon.”

He was rightfully curious as to how Sophia had managed to do the deed…

As he continued glaring at her, he couldn’t help but think that despite her innocent looks, she really wasn’t that innocent at all…! In the end, he forcefully lifted her chin while growling, “Did you really think you’d get off that easily after slipping drugs into my food and locking my room’s door…?! Huh?!”

…Cr*p. He must have seen her doing all that through the surveillance forage…! Gulping, Xavia endured the pain on her chin and was just about to explain herself when Zivon added, “Are you trying to set me up with her so that you can return to your first love…?! If so, good job! It seems I’ve truly underestimated you…!”

Startled to hear that, Xavia replied, “N-no…! That’s not…!”
