Naturally, this only served to piss him off even more! He had been plagued with both work and making Yasmin’s gift, which was why he hadn’t even had the time to check his phone. She was right. To think that Xavia hadn’t sent him any texts recently…!
Seeing her chance, Fiona added, “A bit cold of her, don’t you think, Zivon? After all, despite all your effort and sacrifices, she doesn’t seem to care at all! Wonder if she’s busy doing things with someone else… Oh, I’m not trying to imply anything, but well… She really isn’t treating you well enough.”
…True enough, even if her brother had forced her to meet up with Mark, that wasn’t a good reason for her to ignore him…! Now feeling increasingly hurt, the icy man growled, “…Did I not tell you to leave…?!”
This, of course, instantly made Fiona go pale. She had been trying to make him realize that she cared for him more than Xavia did… To think that it made him give her the cold shoulder instead!
Knowing full well that he’d only get angrier from here on out, she sighed before replying, “…Alright, I’ll be off then… Please don’t overthink too much, and take care…”
It didn’t take long for silence to return… and after a long sigh, he leaned against the back of his chair, his glare as icy as the frostiest winters.
Eventually, he got up and slipped his long coat on before exiting the house. Though he wanted to call for a cab, he quickly realized that there were no active cabs in the area, given how odd the hour was. Left with no choice, he gave Nathan a call…
“Come pick me up.”
Upon hearing that, the conflicted Nathan replied, “…Um… Are you sure, Young Master Burton…? You’ll be losing all your progress if I come over, you know…? What’s more, it’ll take at least half an hour for me to arrive-”
“I need to go to the palace right now…!” interrupted Zivon, prompting Nathan to gulp.
“I… see… then… do wait for a while… Of course, there’s always the option to rent a bike too, but-”
