Either way, after staring at the fiery woman before her, Xavia couldn’t help but chuckle a little as she replied, “…You’re always so strong, you know that…? I’m glad to have such a positive friend! That aside, I’ll support any decisions that you make, and as you said, Kevin shouldn’t have ignored you after doing all those bad things… It’s high time you moved forward!”
Smiling in response, Dolly then said, “Right? I’ve already done my best, and I truly believe that I was the only one keeping that relationship together! But let’s stop talking about that! I wish to toast to my divorce with that bastard! But… Hold on, you’re pregnant, so we can’t drink… Hmm… Wait. Why are your eyes so red? Were you crying earlier? Xavia, what’s wrong?”
Though Dolly was a little late to notice, Xavia still felt rather touched by how worried she sounded… Knowing that it would be better if she let it all out, she hugged Dolly tightly before telling her everything…
Once Dolly was all caught up, Xavia was already sobbing again as she whimpered, “What do you think I should do, Dolly…? The guilt is overwhelming…”
Gently tapping her on the head, Dolly replied, “…Hey. You do realize that he’s just acting again, right?”
Pausing for a moment, Xavia stared at Dolly through her watery eyes as she asked, “…I… What?”
Sighing in response, Dolly replied, “Look, knowing him, he’d only ever blame himself for failing to protect his mother… Never in a million years would he consider pinning the blame on his pregnant wife. That aside, aren’t you already aware of how much he loves you? I’m sure that he’s just extra worried that he’ll fail to protect you too now that his mother is gone… Don’t you see, Xavia? He’s still trying his best to protect you.”
…Was… This the truth…? Now that she thought about it, he hadn’t even been mad when he pushed her away earlier… It was just a method of distancing himself from her. What’s more, he kept telling her to leave, and back when she asked whether he blamed her for Wendy’s death, he hadn’t actually given her an answer!
With all that in mind… He didn’t actually hate her? He was just trying to keep her safe…!
