Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1621

It took him a while, but he eventually cleared his throat and added, “…Speaking of which, did you know that I had a cousin who attempted suicide? The poor thing leaped from a building, and thankfully, she only sprained her knee… In the end, I got Mr. Burton to care for her for a bit. He’s her idol, you see. Also, I’m just sharing this in case any misunderstandings crop up.”

Startled to hear that, Xavia replied, “…Really? That’s news to me…”

If that was the truth, then it explained why Zivon had to carry that woman to the hotel. In fact, that would also explain why Ian was here.

Though Ian didn’t like lying, he simply couldn’t bear to let Xavia know the truth. With that, he was quick to reply, “…Yeah. They were at Pinnacle Road earlier, but I didn’t want to bother my cousin, which is why I’m only bringing it up now.”

After hearing all that, Xavia felt the weight on her shoulders lifting. As it turned out, he hadn’t been cheating on her at all! Thank God she hadn’t allowed herself to overthink! Otherwise, she would’ve surely confronted him about it later on, thus leading to an embarrassing situation…

Shaking her head, she then smiled as she said, “…I see. You said the Great Lady wasn’t feeling well? I guess I don’t mind paying her a visit right now.”

…She had changed her mind so quickly? It was clear that she was head over heels for that man, and Ian was momentarily left speechless…

Either way, after Xavia met up with his mother and he sent her home, he chose to remain in his parked car at a secluded corner outside Zivon’s courtyard… and it was around eleven when a Maybach drove up to his vehicle. Once Zivon’s car had stopped, Ian stepped out, prompting Zivon to do the same.

Since Zivon was being so direct, Ian glared into the hulking man’s eyes while saying, “I may not be qualified now, but perhaps I may soon be…! That aside, I lied for your sake today, you know? I told her that my cousin attempted to commit suicide earlier, and that I had asked for your help to comfort her since you were her idol. There won’t be a next time, and I hope you understand that repeating this could lead to an end to our friendship. I absolutely hate cheaters.”

With that said, he drove off, leaving Zivon standing there with a frown. What on earth did he even mean by that?

Unbeknownst to him, Ian wasn’t saying that he was going to be a potential love rival. Oh no, the Grand Duke’s true role would be revealed much later on…
