Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1673

...There was no way that that kidney was Xavia’s… True enough, Jenna hadn’t given birth that year. No matter how much he wanted to believe that she had just undergone a separate surgery, Zivon’s words simply continued looping in his mind… and in the end, he grew so frustrated that he punched the wall, causing blood to start flowing out…

Though the snowstorm was already heavy by the time Xavia and Zivon left, it couldn’t beat the iciness in Xavia’s heart. Kevin had been the one who had told her to come over, but after she did as he told, he had greeted her with that bitchy attitude, even going so far as to claim that she was the one who had caused Jenna’s death.

Draping his coat over her shoulders, Zivon gently said, “…Just stop thinking about him and get some warmth in the car…”

Forcing a smile, Xavia did her best to hold her tears back… but alas, she simply couldn’t do it. Leaning against his chest, she ultimately muttered, “…Just… hug me for now…”

The second he did that, tears immediately began trickling down her cheeks. Naturally, this caused Zivon to worry. After all, for as long as he knew her, she’d always do her best to appear strong, even when she was immensely sad. The fact that she was now crying in his arms meant that she had been deeply wounded, and she now seemed like a fragile porcelain doll in his arms…

In the end, he simply patted her while saying, “…Hey, don’t go being sad for bastards who don’t deserve it…”

Upon hearing that, Xavia couldn’t help but chuckle. So even this great man could be rude, huh…?

“…True enough, bastards like him only know how to hurt others… I know I shouldn’t care but… the fact that he thinks that he deserves my kidney and even hates me when I failed to meet his expectations… It’s just… really disappointing…”

Zivon knew where she was coming from, and his eyes glinted dangerously as he got his phone out to give Nathan a call…

“Cut off all the Lockhart family’s collaborators. Let the Lockhart Group shares crash in a single day!”

Startled to hear that, Xavia was quick to say, “W-what? Don’t you think that’s a bit too much…?”

“Quite childish… But very well. Let’s bring him to a boxing ring, then,” replied Zivon as he gently pinched her nose.

With how much he was willing to do for her, Xavia felt her grief slowly dissipate… and it was only then that she realized just how heavy the snow had gotten. Looking at the hints of frost that layered the top of Zivon’s hair, she couldn’t help but say, “…The snow gives off the illusion that we’ve grown old together…”

Gently wiping the remaining tears off the corners of her eyes, Zivon replied, “You’re forty years too early to say that.”

“…Hey, I’ll only be in my early sixties when that time comes… I’m sure my hair won’t be as white as yours then!”

“…What? Do you not like me being older or something?” replied Zivon, causing Xavia to raise a slight brow…
