Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1937

“But of course. Since you took care of my admirer, it only makes sense for me to do the same for you. Unless… You don’t want me here?”

Honestly, Xavia didn’t want to continue giving Mark hope as well. However, if things went on like this, there was a chance that they wouldn’t even be able to stay friends… Understanding that, she took a long pause before ultimately replying, “…No, um… Let’s… Just head in…”

Shortly after she rang the doorbell, Mark opened the door… and there he was, wearing his usual beige round neck sweater and loose pants. He even had an apron around his waist, and he looked like the perfect househusband…

When he saw that Zivon was there, Mark raised a slight brow as he said, “…Ah, you’re here too, Young Master Burton…”

Feeling awkward, Xavia was quick to explain, “W-well… I already had plans with Von earlier, but since you said you had something important to give me, I figured that it would be rude to decline… So… Yeah, that’s why he’s here.”

Pleased to hear her call him by his nickname, Zivon held her hand and said, “Surely you don’t mind me joining you for dinner, correct?”

Upon hearing that, Matthew couldn’t help but roll his eyes. As if he wouldn’t mind! Walking up to the group, Matthew then replied, “Oh, Mark’s too kind to say no. Still… I wonder if you’re here because you don’t trust your fiancé… Your clinginess doesn’t seem too healthy to me…”

Though he narrowed his eyes at Matthew for a while, he ultimately replied, “Caught me red-handed. With how pretty and loving my woman is, there’s no way I’d allow others a chance to snatch her from me.”

…To think that he’d be able to deflect his humiliating words so easily! Feeling slightly awkward, Matthew grumbled, “…Be sure to stick close to them, then, Young Master Burton.”

Following that, he headed off to meet up with his date, a woman who just so happened to be related to Zivon…

“…Wait, you got the recipe from the owner himself?” asked the surprised Xavia.

“Indeed. You should know that he remembers enough to recall that you absolutely loved your muffalettas spicy. Since you were so skinny at the time, he even said that he used to secretly give you extra slices of meat. After all, you were the politest kid he had ever met, and he felt that you deserved that much.”

“…Really? To think that that’s what happened… It’s touching, honestly…” muttered Xavia as she reminisced about the good old days. Ah, how time flew…

Since Xavia was having such a good time, she failed to notice how upset Zivon looked…
