...How the hell had he even come up with such a ridiculous scenario?
In the end, she sighed before muttering, “…Von, you’re really overthinking things… First off, we’re getting married soon so they wouldn’t think about doing what you just suggested. What’s more, though we aren’t blood-related, they were still brought up by my parents, which arguably makes them more brotherly than actual brothers. Last but not least, I don’t want to exclude them since that would only serve to pull the family apart and put my parents in difficult positions.”
Though her words were reasonable, Zivon replied, “I’m a man, so I know how other men think. At the very least, I know more than you do. You can never be too sure.”
“…Again, I’m very sure that they only see me as their sister, and which brother would ever fall for their own sibling? Try putting yourself in my shoes and imagine me saying the same things to you…”
Upon hearing that, Zivon paused for a moment before replying, “…I’m just telling you to be more careful around them. Remember, not every man possesses the level of self-control that I have.”
Despite how serious he sounded, Xavia couldn’t help but tease, “…Self-control, you say… Is this coming from the man who got all hot and steamy earlier while the kids were still nearby…?”
Now starting to feel slightly irked, he went silent for a bit… but a while later, he pulled her into his arms and said, “Can you blame me after what you did…?”
…Damn it. True enough, she was the one who had started it! Had it not been for Yulia, who knows how much further she would’ve gone…
Just imagining it made her breaths heavy, and after gulping, she was quick to reply, “S-stop trying to change the topic!”
