Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 2354

...And in the end, she decided to give Keith a kiss as well! After all, this was all part of the act, right?! If he could do it, so could she!

…At least, that was what she had planned to do. In the end, she chickened out and simply pretended to kiss Keith’s cheek by whispering in his ear… and after a while, she turned to look at Zivon.

The man himself was already clenching his menu so hard that if he wasn’t actively holding his strength back, the cardboard would’ve been crumpled by now!

Frowning slightly, Zelda herself couldn’t help but grumble, “…Damn it, looks like I really can’t get back at you at all… She really gets along well with Young Master Keith, huh? Then again, it makes sense since he’s so gentlemanly and much younger than you are… Can you blame her for preferring him?”

By this point, Zivon’s expression had grown extremely icy, and when he considered the fact that Xavia had pretty much said the same thing back when he had just rescued her from the village, he couldn’t help but get to his feet! No, he couldn’t let her fall for Keith…!

Walking up to her, Zivon growled, “…We need to have a talk…!”

…Was he mad? Well, he could stay mad after chatting so happily with that woman! Pursing her lips, Xavia replied, “…Sorry, but I’m famished, so let it wait.”

“We did a lot of things together today, so just let her rest, Uncle Zivon. If you really need to say something, however, just do it here,” added Keith, instantly irritating Zivon even more!

…Wait… Had he specifically chosen to be with Zelda because he knew that she would never fall for him? Just as Xavia was feeling touched by Zivon’s thoughtfulness, she heard him add, “That aside, she didn’t even kiss me earlier. It was just an act! I already told you that I was dealing with a dangerous man, yet here you are, playing around with another man…?!”

Now feeling slightly guilty, the panicking woman explained, “I-I faked that kiss too! I just did it to annoy you… As you said, he’s your nephew, and I only chose to hang out around him because there was zero chance that we’d be together…”

Upon hearing that, his expression softened a little… However, he couldn’t help but clench his fists in the end. After all, though Xavia wasn’t into Keith, Keith was definitely into her! With that in mind, he eventually replied, “…There’s no need to continue doing such things in the future. Just leave everything to me and stop seeing him too often from now on.”
