Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1916

“…And that’s somehow my fault?” replied Zivon with a slightly raised brow.

“N-no, it’s… never mind… A-anyway, I’ll never ignore or misunderstand you again, so please give me another chance…! You’re also doing this for the kids’ sakes, you know…? After all, there’s a high chance that if we part ways, we’ll meet others, and you know how harsh stepparents can be…”

Squinting at her, Zivon replied, “Don’t try to use the kids as an excuse. That aside, nobody will ever dare to touch them while I’m still alive!”

“…While it’s true that you’re powerful, the fact remains that Jenna was still able to mistreat Maison a lot in the past…”

…Damn it! It took him a while, but he eventually growled, “…Get up.”

Since Xavia refused to budge, Zivon added, “…I need to get some water to cool myself down!”

Realizing that he was having a reaction toward her, she was quick to ask, “…D-does that mean you’re no longer mad…? Look, if you’re still angry, I’d rather you take it out on me!”

Zivon himself took a big gulp of water… and once he was done, he headed to the entrance and opened the door. It was snowing lightly outside, and after staring at the beautiful scenery for a bit, he lit a cigarette. A few puffs were thankfully enough to suppress his inner desires… and after a deep breath, he was prompted to ask, “…Is Mr. Cornwell still waiting for you?”

Though she didn’t know, she ultimately replied, “…He isn’t. I told him to leave the second I got out of the car. After all, it’s already this late, and I didn’t want to be inconsiderate… S-speaking of which, I don’t have my phone with me, so I can’t hail a cab home… W-what’s more, I’ve sprained my leg, so I think I’ll just stay the night…!”

After hearing her series of lies, Zivon took another puff before turning to look at her… and after the smoke cleared from around his face, he was prompted to say, “…I just wanted you to tell him to leave if he’s still here.”
