With how sweet and sappy his words were, Xavia couldn’t help but chuckle as she replied, “To think that the great Young Master Burton would be capable of saying such romantic things… Then again, I like hugging you too…”
With that said, she hugged his waist, making sure to thoroughly enjoy his warmth. Zivon himself was prompted to kiss her forehead…
Looking at how lovey-dovey the two were, the driver found himself going speechless. He was just a taxi driver… Why did he need to be subjected to such sappy emotions…?!
Meanwhile, Wendy could be seen sitting on a hospital bed. She had already recovered enough to be discharged, but even with that knowledge, a frown remained on her face as she recalled Fiona’s words from the previous night…
‘You know, Brother Zivon is doing so much for Xavia… Not only did he nearly die while digging up diamonds for her in Stroze, but he’s also been forced to stay in such a rickety old house in this icy weather without a penny to his name… As if working extra hard to survive wasn’t already enough, he nearly got raped by a vile businesswoman as well…!’
‘Even so, he’s still been doing everything he can to please Xavia’s family, to the point where despite his ongoing pain, he still took the time to learn how to make a herbal cake for Xavia’s mother’s birthday. His love for Xavia is enviable, to say the least, but I’m not sure I can say the same for Xavia… After all, despite having such a caring lover, she continues having an ambiguous relationship with Mark…’
‘She even gave him the cold shoulder despite everything he’s done for her! It pains me to see him suffering like that, and I’m genuinely worried that he won’t make it to the end of the Frankston family’s tests… I guess the old saying is right… Pick the one who loves you, and not the one you love…’
Naturally, all those words caused Wendy to brim with excruciating pain. While it was true that she liked Xavia and didn’t mind her marrying Zivon, the fact remained that Zivon was her child. There was no way she could just sit still after learning all that!
Even though the Frankstons were royalty and Hershel had done something wrong enough to deserve being sent to Stroze to dig for diamonds, they didn’t really have to drag Zivon into this as well…
…No, she had to have a proper talk with the Frankstons! With that in mind, she then headed off to the palace on her own…
