She said, “I’ve always known the basics but I practiced a little more some time ago. I didn’t expect that it would really come in handy.”
She spoke in a very natural and casual manner. It seemed as though she didn’t seem to care about it when it was such a wonderful dance performance.
Zivon had an even more profound look in his eyes as he stared at her. After staring at her for five seconds, he looked away and said, “Eat something. Rest for a while.”
Ava said, “Give Jenna the freshest lamb chop.”
When Xavia heard that there was delicious food for her, her eyes instantly lit up brightly. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Charles and Cecilia looked at Jenna’s joyful gesture with a puzzled and disappointed look in their eyes. “What’s going on? Didn’t you say that she is definitely a fake? How can she dance ballet then?”
“I don’t know either. I dragged Fiona all the way here so that we could see Jenna making a fool out of herself. As a result—”
“Why don’t you just shut up? I think that you’re obviously just making a wild guess.”
“…”
Charles was not convinced. No, he had to continue trying!
He refused to just stop, so he came over to Xavia’s side, “Aunt-in-law, your dance performance just now was simply too beautiful! This is the chef’s new southern dish tonight. You should try it.”
Xavia’s eyes fell on the colorful and delicious sight. The dish was braised pork and preserved vegetables. When she was young, this dish would always be on the table whenever they attended a banquet.”
She didn’t hate it, nor did she like it. As for Jenna, she naturally wouldn’t be interested in this type of cuisine at all.
Xavia already knew of Charles’ intentions and she said indifferently, “Take it away. Have you forgotten that I hate eating this kind of greasy and pickled dishes the most?”
Her voice was so loud that everyone present could also hear her words.
Charles’ mouth twitched in embarrassment. “Oh! I forgot! Aunt-in-law, I simply wanted to let you taste it first.”
Xavia forced a smile as she said in a friendly manner, “It’s fine, but Charles, you also asked me to help you get a dead person’s autographed photo before this. That’s not a good message. You should pay more attention to it next time.”
Such words sounded like words of reminder, but when these words fell in the air, it was like a bomb!
People who were as innocent as Winnie were completely unaware of all the schemes, and the overt and covert struggles that had been going on behind the scenes today.
At ten o’clock at night.
Xavia took the initiative to take Zivon’s arm and said to everyone, “I had a great time and a lot of fun today. I would like to thank everyone for preparing such a lively party. Grandma, it’s already getting late. You should go back to your room and rest earlier. Zivon and I will also take Maison back to the room to rest first.”
Ava hummed as she nodded in a kind and friendly manner. After that, she smiled and asked Miss Ruth to help her back to her room.
Xavia ignored Charles’ gloomy and dissatisfied expression as she held Maison in one hand and Zivon in the other. After that, she turned around and left.
She finally managed to make it through.
It was so close.
Xavia let go of Zivon’s wrist as soon as they were back in the room and said to him, “I won’t be sleeping with you tonight.”
