Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1790

With how strongly he desired her, Xavia found herself unable to resist his advances. In the end, her legs went limp, and he only released her once it seemed like she was ready to faint.

After she had caught her breath, she heard him say, “Can’t even take this much…? You should really train your kissing skills more…”

…Like hell she did! That aside…

“Um… Why are you dressed like that…?”

Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “You have your beloved brother to thank for that.”

Though his voice was calm, she could feel the fury in his voice. After a short pause, she was prompted to ask, “…I was wondering why the place seemed more heavily guarded than before… Is he trying to make things more difficult for you…?”

Upon hearing that, Zivon took the chance to explain everything that had happened back at the palace. He wasn’t trying to paint a target on Ian or anything, but he just wanted to let her know how much effort he was willing to make for her.

Naturally, Xavia was stunned to hear all that. The truth was, she had been racking her brains in the past few days, trying to come up with a peaceful solution. To think that Zivon had taken the first move… While it was reasonable for ordinary folk to want to please their parents-in-law, this was the great Zivon they were talking about! And he was trying to please her brother, not her parents!

Feeling touched, she gave him a hug before saying, “Thank you, Von…”

Hugging her back, he then gently lifted her chin as he replied, “I don’t need your thanks… What I do need is…”

Though his words trailed off, his passionate gaze made his answer clear. He wanted her. As their lips touched once more, Xavia didn’t struggle. This man always loved kissing her, and every time he did it, she’d always lose her breath… Even so, she couldn’t deny that she enjoyed the feeling of being loved so much…

A brief silence later, both of them heard footsteps approaching, followed by a familiar voice saying, “Xavia?”

What was Ian doing here?! Immediately snapping out of it, Xavia turned to look at Zivon before whispering, “W-what should we do…?! He already doesn’t like you, so if he spots you here, he’ll surely hate you even more…! H-hurry! Hide under the bed…!”

Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “Why should I? It’s not like I’m a thief.”

…Crap, she shouldn’t have said that! Shaking her head, Xavia then said, “W-what I meant was in the closet…! Now hurry, he’s coming…!”

Watching as Xavia began tugging him toward the closet, Zivon replied, “Do you really think it’s possible for me to hide from that perceptive man? Just face him normally as I repair the bathroom lamp.”
