Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 998

...However, the good mood was quickly disrupted by the ringing of a phone.

Zivon, for one, really didn’t want to part his lips from Xavia’s. With that in mind, he was just about to end the call… when he realized that Sophia was the caller. Raising a slight brow, Zivon sighed before saying, “…Sorry, but I need to take this call…”

…Why was he saying it like she was expecting him to do more?! Her cheeks all red, Xavia quickly muttered, “…There’s no need to apologize, just pick up the call already…!”

Watching as she then silently curled in his arms, Zivon couldn’t help but smile as he answered the call…

The second he picked up, Sophia immediately said, “I’ve already clarified things on the internet, Mr. Burton. That aside, I have some information that I thought you’d like to hear. Don’t worry, it’s nothing major.”

Sophia had always been an upfront woman who spoke her mind. If Zivon didn’t like her, then she wasn’t about to pull any cheap tricks to garner his fancy. However, she wasn’t about to allow others to discredit her either.

Confident that the results she found were true, Sophia then added, “About the photo of us circulating online… I believe they were uploaded by Miss Squire.”

Upon hearing that, Zivon couldn’t help but squint. He knew for a fact that Fiona harbored feelings for him, however he only saw her as a younger sister. That aside, she shouldn’t have done something so outlandish!

It didn’t help that Zivon knew that Sophia was perfectly capable of making a big deal out of this, especially since she was innocent. That woman was never going to go down without a fight…

Feeling a headache coming, Zivon ultimately replied, “…I’ll take care of it. I’ll… get you lunch tomorrow. That aside, you should know that I agree with your deduction. Now, without further ado, good night.”

And just like that, the call ended. In the end, both of them were never ones to beat around the bush. Regardless, by this point, Xavia—who had earlier managed to see who was calling—couldn’t help but feel slightly bitter. Weren’t the two a bit too casual with each other…? That aside, had he actually invited her out to lunch tomorrow?!

In response, Zivon simply said, “Allow me to remind you that I’m no longer connected to Jenna… With that said, feel free to crave me all you want…”

…He was right. Now that he was single, he was no longer bound to anyone… With that in mind, to think that he had still chosen to travel thousands of miles just to meet her on this special day… The thought of it alone was enough to make Xavia blush. Once upon a time, he was Jenna’s husband… but now, he was her boyfriend.

It was a simple thing, yet it meant the world to Xavia that he now belonged solely to her… In the end, she couldn’t help but kiss him on the cheek before saying, “…I’m glad to hear that.”

Though her kiss was light, it felt extremely satisfying. Shaking his head, Zivon—who wanted to keep the mood this way—was prompted to reply, “Alright, it’s high time you got some rest… Don’t worry, I’ll be here to watch you sleep…”

Nodding in response, Xavia then comfortably laid her head against his chest… In a way, being able to hear his heartbeat like this felt unreal… But it was the simple truth. He was no longer tied to Jenna.
