Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1689

“I’ll say it right now that you won’t be able to change my mind, and worse come to worst, I’ll just have all the residents in the area move with you. Losing a billion dollars or so means little to me,” added Ian in an indifferent expression, causing Xavia to feel a headache coming.

She, for one, was well aware that those with power enjoyed expressing their gratitude through monetary means, and if their gratitude was denied… Well, they’d assume that the person had a hidden agenda. Regardless, that also meant that he was probably being extra overbearing because he wanted to put some distance between them.

Understanding that, Xavia replied, “…Fine, I’ll move out, but I’m not living in the palace. I’ll simply stay in the home you chose for now, and this means that you’ll no longer owe me anything once I leave. Deal?”

As if! She was his sister for heaven’s sake! Still, he couldn’t just tell her that, so all he could do was agree for now. He’d deceive her one step at a time…

Regardless, Xavia soon found herself stepping into a ten-story villa, and it was located in the same neighborhood as her own villa. Because of that, it went without saying that the building was a magnificent one.

After looking around with widened eyes, Dolly couldn’t help but exclaim, “W-what the hell is going on, Xavia…?! This is awesome and terrifying at the same time!”

Sighing subtly, Xavia then explained everything that had happened to Dolly… and once she was done, Dolly was quick to say, “…Wait, so you’re the one who saved both Lady Frankston and Lady Burton? To think that Jenna would take credit for all that! God, she’s lucky she’s dead! Otherwise, I would’ve surely ripped her face off!”

Xavia was just as pissed as Dolly was, but since Jenna was no longer among the living, she knew that there was no point in thinking about this. With that, she was prompted to reply, “…Let’s not give that horrible woman any more attention than she deserves. Instead, let’s quickly choose a room to stay in! Careful not to break anything, though…”

With that said, they both headed upstairs to choose a smaller room…

Alas, Ian simply replied, “I’m glad to hear. Relish this feeling, and please don’t be fooled by other wealthy and powerful men.”

Naturally, Xavia frowned when she heard that. However, before she could say a word, Dolly interrupted, “If you’re talking about Young Master Burton, then don’t you worry. He’s a kind man, and I believe that Xavia isn’t interested in his wealth or power anyway.”

“…Is that so? Xavia, you had a difficult life while growing up, correct? And even when you arrived in Darlsbury, the Lockharts kept finding faults with you. With that in mind, I can imagine just how touched you were when Zivon offered you his help in those trying times. Makes me wonder whether you’re with him out of love or gratitude…”

As Xavia remained too startled to reply, Ian added, “Try imagining what life would’ve been if you were born in the palace… You’d have lived a lavish life, and met a plethora of excellent men. If the least favorable person among them was a distinguished man of war, it makes me wonder if you’d even consider falling for Zivon.”
