Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 583

“…Sure. Let’s go,” replied Keith as his brows slightly relaxed. Following that, he led Xavia out of the antique shop, making sure to casually greet Zivon on their way out.

It was only once they were outside that Xavia felt she could finally breathe again. To her, the air was always thin whenever Zivon was around…

That aside, since her hand was injured, Xavia took the opportunity to suggest, “Um… Since I scalded my hand, it won’t be convenient for me to wear a dress tomorrow, Young Master Keith… Why don’t you just say that I personally picked the gift? That way, I won’t have to attend, right…?”

Naturally, Keith had his reasons for wanting her to attend, so there was no way that he was letting her off that easily! With that in mind, after staring at her for a bit, he eventually said, “It’s just a minor injury. You’ve already made a promise, so you can’t just back down now. Speaking of dresses, I’ll be sending you a gown for the banquet later.”

This made Xavia fall silent. How unlucky she was to keep getting entangled with Zivon and those around him! Then again, there’d probably be a sea of guests and reporters about during the birthday banquet… With that in mind, Zivon would probably not have the time to even bother with her… At least, that was what she had hoped.

Sadly, the reality was further than she could ever imagine…

Fast forward to the night of the birthday banquet, every inch of the hotel was lit with dazzling lights. Since most of the nobles and dignitaries of Darlsbury had gathered to celebrate Lady Burton’s birthday, the atmosphere was nothing short of jovial…

Regardless, the members of the Burton family were the first to head upstairs to present their gifts to Lady Burton.

First up, were Hershel and his wife who placed a beautiful jade before Ava while saying, “After looking around for three months, I finally managed to get my hands on this rare hetian jade, mother. I wish you many blessings, good fortune, and longevity…”

Following that, the other siblings began stepping up as well.

“I present to you a wild, thousand-year-old ginseng, mother. I wish for you to always have good health…”

“I bring an East Sea Pearl for you, mother. May you be healthy and happy for as long as you live…”

Each of their blessings sounded sincere, and their gifts were extremely precious as well. Anyone witnessing all this would’ve surely been filled with envy and admiration…

Ava, however, was smiling brightly as she said, “My word! Jenna and Zivon are truly considerate! Always worried and thinking about me, even after celebrating so many of my birthdays! Come put the ring on for me, Jenna!”

“With pleasure, grandma,” replied Jenna as she happily slipped the ring on one of Ava’s fingers…

Upon seeing that, Seventh Aunt couldn’t help but frown in disdain. The little b*tch Jenna… Always scheming and winning people over with her words…! That aside, wasn’t there supposed to be another gift this year…?

Locking her eyes on Xavia, she was then prompted to say, “Keith? Miss Xavia? What did you two get for great-grandmother? Since Miss Xavia is Jenna’s twin, she should be as filial as Jenna, right…?”

It was clear that she was setting Xavia up, and Xavia knew it. Though Xavia was clenching her fists now, it wasn’t because of her taunts. No, it was because she was thinking of what she and Keith had gotten for Ava…

Even so, Xavia couldn’t help but clench her fists when she thought about what she and Keith had prepared for Ava…
