Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1872

He could tell that she was lying from her expression alone. Even so, he wasn’t about to nit-pick after what she had done, so he simply replied, “…We’ll talk about it once we’re done with this and in bed.”

Nodding in response, Xavia then began treating his grotesque rope burns… From the looks of it, his skin had been so badly injured that his tendons and bones were almost showing! Feeling distressed just imagining how much his hands hurt, Xavia muttered, “…Had I known that you’d get this injured, I would’ve never allowed the trip to happen…”

He could tell how saddened she was, and honestly, he hadn’t even planned to show the wound to her. However, after seeing her together with Mark, he decided to be a bit more selfish. By showing how hard he had worked to be together with her, he hoped that she’d learn to love him more, regardless of whether it came from the heart or whether it was out of guilt…

Still, he didn’t like seeing her so sad, so he ultimately said, “…Don’t worry, it’s not too bad. Besides, they say that blessings always follow catastrophes, and I know that that’s true because I’ll finally get to marry you soon…”

Feeling her heart melt, Xavia grumbled, “…Go be a love guru or something…”

“…Is that disappointment I hear, or…?” said Zivon with a slightly raised brow.

Unwilling to continue talking about this, Xavia replied, “I like you most, alright…?”

“Remove that last word…”

“…I love you most…” muttered Xavia as she hugged him tightly.

Feeling his heart melt, Zivon sighed before replying, “I love you too… Much more than you love me…”

His words reminded her of his final voice message… and though that was his supposed final confession while he was on the brink of death, he made it back in one piece, and he was now able to say those words to her face… Those warm, affectionate words…
