Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 287

Upon feeling her touch, Zivon momentarily narrowed his eyes before looking away from his documents. Looking at her with a slightly helpless gaze, Zivon was prompted to say, “It’s already eleven in the morning… How much longer do you plan to sleep?”

Hearing his soothing voice, Xavia couldn’t help but frown slightly. It was… already eleven? And that voice… Zivon?! To Xavia’s horror, the second she opened her eyes, she realized that not only was he seated right beside her, but she was also hugging him!

Immediately jolting away from him, Xavia was prompted to ask, “…Why are you still here?”

There was zero joy in her tone, and this was pretty much how she had talked to him ever since the night of the banquet. It was like she was constantly trying to keep her distance from him…

Still, Zivon was already used to her attitude, so he simply placed his documents down before calmly replying, “Grandma’s told us to host a live broadcast. With that said, go get a change first.”

Since Xavia was only donning a nightgown, Zivon then took off his suit jacket before standing right in front of her, hoping to hide her surprised expression—from the audience—as well.

Xavia herself was thinking, ‘…Live broadcast…? How is grandma this capable of causing trouble…?’

With a silent sigh, Xavia then cloaked herself with his suit jacket before running off. Nobody could guess just how much she loathed playing husband and wife with him… Hell, she hated the thought of even being near him! Even so, she was still under his roof, which meant that she had no choice but to humble herself and behave according to his rules…

Shortly after, Xavia returned, but this time, she was wearing beautiful clothes. With a bright smile on her face, Xavia then looked toward the camera before saying, “Sorry for the wait, everyone! Now that I’m all refreshed, I’d like to clarify that there haven’t been any issues between Young Master Burton and I’s relationship! You see, we weren’t actually quarreling the other day! We were simply acting based on a script!”

“For context, I have to play a part where the male and female protagonists have to quarrel. Unfortunately, since I’ve been so happy recently, I forgot how to actually quarrel! Because of that, I asked Young Master Burton to help me practice quarreling! To think that that would lead to someone creating baseless rumors around that incident!”

“If further evidence is needed, just check the surveillance cameras at the mall! Around twenty minutes after our ‘quarrel’ you’ll clearly see Young Master Burton picking out a dress for me! I got him a belt and other intimate items as well! I’m sure you’re all well aware that no couple would choose clothes for each other right after a real quarrel, right? With all that said, I hope all of you are now content! Honestly, if you continue watching, I assure all of you that you’ll grow sick of it in no time!”

Her explanation was as smooth and natural as it could get, and Xavia truly hoped that this would help clear the scandal. If it did, then fewer people would keep an eye on her, and she wouldn’t have to continue showing that much affection for Zivon…

Before Zivon could reply, Xavia added in a slightly coquettish tone, “After all, I really don’t want others to see just how much you love me… I’d rather not have anyone else try to steal you from me…”

It was clear as day that she wanted to keep the good stuff off-screen, similar to how a young girl would hide her favorite toys while studying! Though Zivon had clearly not expected Xavia to say such a thing, he quickly snapped out of it before replying, “…Very well, we’ll turn the broadcast off then…”

The last message they saw—before the broadcast ended—was, ‘Oh my god!!! I don’t want to live anymore!’

Regardless, the second the broadcast was cut, the room’s atmosphere was quick to shift, starting with the smile on Xavia’s face disappearing almost immediately. Getting to her feet, she then stepped away from him before saying, “I’m going to check on Jenna. I may return a bit late.”

Though she still sounded polite, her attitude was completely different from the way she had presented herself during the live broadcast. Looking at the woman—whose expression had shifted even faster than a drop of falling water—Zivon was prompted to ask, “Why are you off to see her? Haven’t you learned your lesson after your last trip to Lockhart Mansion?”

Knowing that Zivon was talking about Mr. Lockhart’s rude and violent behavior last time, Xavia couldn’t help but feel a slight headache growing. Even so, she simply replied, “…I’m heading over to talk to her. The sooner she gets up, the sooner I get to extricate myself from this place…”
