During their stay at the hospital, Xavia had diligently—and carefully—taken good care of Keith… and to Keith, all those were signs that Xavia was finally willing to get along with him as a girlfriend.
Xavia, however, simply replied, “…I… You’re a kidder, aren’t you? You’re not some pet that needs help getting a bath…”
“Hmm? Why don’t I be your pet then…?” said Keith, prompting Xavia to gulp. When had this civil gentleman become so cheeky and clingy…?
“…That aside, have you heard the news? Your grandmother’s been getting better these days, and she’s planning to host a field camp tomorrow to hear everyone’s first thoughts on the green space. In a way, it’s going to be somewhat of an audition, so I’ll be heading back first to have my winning speech prepared!” replied Xavia as she quickly released his hands from hers and bolted back to her room…
Looking at how confident the girl looked, Keith couldn’t help but frown slightly. True enough, owning the green space was important, but if that came at the expense of her leaving his side… That was a thought that Keith truly detested.
…Forget it. It wasn’t like she was going to succeed anyway…
Moving back to Xavia, she eventually made it back to her room.
After swiping her room card, she was just about to enter… when she was greeted by the sight of Zivon and Jenna sharing a bed! Zivon was topless and he was rolling over to reposition Jenna…!
With how shocking the scene was, Xavia was left completely frozen… and shortly after, her room card fell to the floor.
Upon hearing the soft ‘thud,’ the duo quickly realized that Xavia was standing at the door…!
Now blushing as she awkwardly covered herself with more sheets, Jenna eventually brought herself to say, “…Um… During your absence, Zivon has been sleeping in this room… You… should return to Young Master Burton’s room as well…”
Clenching her fists slightly, Xavia then glanced at the confused Zivon before looking down as she replied, “…I see. I apologize for disturbing you two, then…”
Xavia, for one, couldn’t find herself liking Ava, nor this trip. After all, none of this had anything to do with her. Why did they have to bring her along…?
Whatever the case was, Xavia then entered her tent, prompting everyone else to exchange glances among themselves… Xavia had some serious guts to be talking to Lady Burton like that…
Seizing this opportunity, Jenna quickly walked up to Ava before saying in a gentle voice, “Please don’t be angry with my sister, Grandma… She’s just really straightforward… With that said, come sit and let’s enjoy the view together…”
The more Ava looked at her, the more she found herself liking Jenna. In the end, Ava was prompted to reply, “You really are too kind… If only Xavia was half as nice as you… Still, since both of you share the same genes, blood, and even looks, I wonder how you two ended up so different…”
Smiling in response, Jenna then said, “Please don’t say that, Grandma… My sister is nice in her own ways. Speaking of which, Zivon and I have been preparing for our second child, so don’t you worry…”
The truth was, Lady Burton had dreamt of Zivon and Jenna divorcing, which was why her mood hadn’t been particularly good…
