While Zivon had half-jokingly said that, his words felt extremely pressuring to Xavia. While it was true that she liked and worried about him, it was still embarrassing for her to just say it to his face! After all, she had never thought of expressing such feelings… especially toward a married man!
Not wanting to talk about such a serious topic—at least for now—, Xavia then peeked at the towering man before saying, “…I’m not doing this because I’m a coward… It’s just the best position for me to be in due to my injuries… That aside… Aren’t you tired after going through such a long night, Young Master Burton…? You can go ahead and get some rest… I’m sleeping once I send a text to Bianca anyway…”
Sensing how much she was trying to avoid talking about it, Zivon decided to let her off for now. Besides, as she had said, it was getting rather late… With that, he simply grunted in response before lying on the bed next to hers as he said, “Just call me if you need anything.”
Blinking in surprise, Xavia couldn’t help but say, “You’re… sleeping here?”
Raising a slight brow, Zivon then replied in a serious tone, “Where else should I sleep? This is the most optimal sleeping spot to keep you company.”
Zivon sounded exactly like a boyfriend who was shouldering responsibility, and when she looked into his deep eyes, she couldn’t help but feel slightly flustered. Quickly averting her gaze, Xavia then muttered, “…Goodnight.”
Following that, she hurriedly sent a message to Bianca, stating, ‘Have you and Yulia returned to Darlsbury?’
‘We haven’t. I was worried that you were in trouble, so I stayed back in our previous hotel… How are you anyway? Need any help?’ replied Bianca.
‘No, no, it’s fine. I’m a little injured, but it’s nothing too serious… We found Maison too. That aside, please take care of Yulia till I’m a bit better…’
After sending that message, Xavia hesitated for a moment… before miserably sending another text, stating, ‘…There’s… One other thing… I… accidentally told Young Master Burton that liked him… Is there any way for me to take it back…?’
‘…Huh? How did he react to that?’
