Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 278

After hesitating briefly, Xavia took a deep breath before picking up and saying, “…Hello?”

“If anyone calls asking about the news, just politely decline them. I’ll handle the rest,” replied Zivon who’s attractively low voice sounded just as captivating through the phone. Despite the havoc online, he sounded oddly calm and composed.

Xavia, for one, had anticipated that he was going to be a complete mess as he asked for her cooperation to put on an act. This… was far simpler than she could have ever anticipated. He truly had a royal air around him…

Whatever the case was, Xavia simply said, “…Not to worry, I still have a little professional ethics, so I won’t say anything unnecessary. Honestly, I was just about to post a status update to clarify the situation.”

Zivon was honestly slightly surprised to hear that. However, he quickly shook the feeling off as he replied, “There’s no need to do so. Regardless, I’m a bit busy, so I’ll be hanging up first.”

Before Xavia could reply, Zivon had already hung up. She absolutely wasn’t expecting such a reply. Hadn’t she just told him that she was willing to help clarify the situation? Why was he being this indifferent? It wasn’t as though she had stated that she wanted to defame him or anything…

As she thought about it, she quickly realized why all this was happening. Of course. After making everything clear that day, it only made sense for Zivon—who had high emotional intelligence and self-esteem—to not want anything to do with her anymore.

Then again, scumbags like him were most proficient at retreating and withdrawing, so this shouldn’t even have come as a surprise. The second he found out that it was impossible to attain something, it was only natural for him to give up on it. Why waste time on her when he could just move onto another target? Alas, men would always be men. Quick to tease women, and even quicker to give up.

Still, this was honestly pretty ideal for her. After all, no longer would he attempt to control or ‘harass’ her…

Just thinking about how he had forced her to apologize to Fiona that day made her heart sting...

As she laid on her bed, not wanting to bother with such calls, she immediately received two consecutive messages…

The first was from Mrs. Lockhart, warning, ‘You’ll only be able to leave in one piece if you maintain this relationship well, Xavia.’ Attached to it, was Zivon’s current location…

As for the other message, it was from Ava, stating, ‘Jenna, I really don’t have a strong heart, and I trust you don’t wish to see me get a heart attack, right…? Just so you know, I gave you that many gifts back then since I felt that you were more sensible compared to the rest. I also believed that you’d be good, and that you’d always remain by Zivon’s side… With that said, please take care of this small issue as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for me to appease the rest of my children and grandchildren… Continue having a good relationship with Zivon, alright…?’

Despite how friendly the text sounded on the surface, Xavia could clearly see that even Ava was threatening her… If she didn’t reconcile quickly with Zivon, then Ava would definitely reclaim her properties… Was everyone in wealthy families simply this shrewd and emotionless…?

After all, even the amiable Ava turned out to be this way…
