Plus, hosting such an event was going to be good for the outstanding youths of the country anyway, so it was pretty much killing two birds with one stone… Fast forward to three days later, the matchmaking party was held, and as expected, those on the internet were quick to go wild when they learned about it. After all, all the gentlemen who had been invited came from outstanding families, and they were all extremely talented folks too. As for the women, they ranged from high-ranking nurses to those from the army, and all of them looked absolutely stunning. This event was destined to be a great one… Watching all this happen, Xavia couldn’t help but sigh before muttering, “Those are all pretty fine men… I’m sure they’ll find great wives here…” Raising a slight brow, Zivon gently hit her head while saying, “Don’t tell me you’re after another husband now…” “As if! The best man in the world is already mine!” “…Then why did you insist on attending…?” “…I mean, it’s nice to see su
...It was Rosa. Watching as the startled Xavia quickly distanced herself from Zivon and began straightening her hair, Zivon couldn’t help but raise a brow and ask, “…Why so worried? I’m your husband, not your lover.” “…E-even if we’re married, doing such things in public…! W-we’re in the midst of educated people, so I just don’t want to give off a bad impression alright?!” grumbled the blushing woman. It took him a second, but Zivon finally recalled that Xavia had always been an ambitious woman, and that she had only been held back because of that night… She was just feeling insecure in the presence of Rosa, huh? Smiling subtly, Zivon then tucked a stray hair behind her ear before saying, “…Even geniuses have desires, so there’s really no need to be so formal. Regardless, just stay here for a bit while I go see what she wants.” Nodding in response, Xavia then pursed her lips as she watched him walk off. She hadn’t actually done anything with him earlier, so… Yeah, there was n
Knowing full well that Zivon had made up his mind on the matter, Rosa pursed her lips before saying, “…Alright, I won’t continue making things difficult for you anymore… Here, take these… They’re the only copies of our past that I have left… Honestly, though, she shouldn’t feel mad about such silly things, but if you’re still that worried, feel free to get rid of them…” Watching as Rosa began walking off, Xavia couldn’t help but feel increasingly curious. Just what had Rosa used to threaten her man…? But if she showed up now, wouldn’t that make her look like some jealous shrew? Damn it… …Maybe he would take the initiative to tell her the truth? After reassuring herself that he would, she quickly shook her head before returning to her earlier spot… Moments later, Zivon returned and said, “Hmm? Still here?” Smiling subtly, Xavia replied, “Yep, still browsing through the potential wives for my brothers…” “…Are you sure you didn’t look at any of the men as well?” “Hey, I alread
“Then let me see what Rosa gave you.” “…Dear, there’s really no need to focus that much on the past-” “That’s what I wanted to believe too, but with how hard you’re trying to hide it, it’s impossible for me to remain calm,” interrupted Xavia. Feeling helpless, all Zivon could do was get his phone out… and once Nathan answered his call, he was prompted to say, “Return with everything I handed you.” “…Huh? But I’m already in the midst of getting rid of them-” “Don’t make me repeat myself,” growled Zivon, leaving both Xavia and Nathan speechless… It was about five minutes later when Xavia was greeted by the sight of a pile of ashes on the table… and after pursing her lips, Xavia said, “…Is this some kind of joke?” Zivon himself was already rubbing his temples as he growled, “…What the hell happened here…?!” “…E-everything was already nearly burnt to a crisp by the time you called, so even though I managed to put the fire out, there wasn’t much to be saved…” Feeling incre
It was only after Rosa had crossed her arms that Zivon finally looked up and said, “You know that isn’t the case… I’m just focusing on my work now so that I can be with you tonight…” “…Really? You’re not lying, are you? If you aren’t, then yay! Love you, Senior!” Just as she was attempting to hug his arm, Zivon pushed her away and said, “Disturb me any more and I may have to work till tomorrow morning.” “…That just means that I’m charming enough to distract you from your work, right?” “…Would you rather we spend time now or tonight? Make your choice.” “Of course, I’ll pick night! Fine, fine, I’ll head upstairs to watch some television!” grumbled Rosa playfully as she ran off. This prompted Zivon to smile before shaking his head and returning to his documents… The video ended there, and after clenching her fists for a bit, Xavia couldn’t help but say, “…Are you sure that was mere acting?” “Every bit of it. Look, the winner of that competition would gain the right to ente
“Me and my wife have been itching to participate in a couple show recently… so if anyone is interested in having us, please contact my assistant.” It was then that she realized that Zivon was broadcasting this message live! “W-what are you doing?! Stop the stream!” exclaimed Xavia as she attempted to grab his phone… but to her dismay, he moved it so far away from her that she ended up falling into his lap! Smiling at the sight of that, Zivon then said, “Though I’m not that into dramas, I don’t mind being all lovey-dovey with you on a couple show, dear…” This left Xavia momentarily speechless. She had only been a little grumpy because of that video! Did he really have to do all this?! Just as she was about to retort, she heard Zivon add, “Before you say anything, remember that thousands of people are watching…” Upon hearing that, Xavia took a peek at the viewer count… and true enough, there were already close to a million viewers! What the hell?! Getting increasingly frustra
Though he was slightly irked to hear that, he maintained a tight grip on her shoulder as he replied, “…Sass me all you want, but your parents clearly have a hand in this… I mean, who else would dare to taunt the great Sir Ian?” …True enough, Zivon made sense… Pursing her lips, all she could do was pitifully stare at the helpless Ian… Speaking of Ian, he was left wondering how he had set himself up by conducting this event. Damn it! Just as he was wondering how to escape this situation, he suddenly noticed the ever-dazzling Tiffany standing in the crowd… …Honestly, he wouldn’t mind it if he could be with her, but… Alas, she was already taken. Shaking his head, he gathered his composure before saying, “…Apologies, but I’m not in the mood for love just yet. I’ll be going on a several-month-long business trip soon anyway, so I don’t want to leave a potential wife alone for too long. With all that said, let’s have James and Jacob take my place tonight instead!” Upon hearing their na
Sadly for him, Xavia would continue using that nickname against him in the coming days. “Leave your dad alone, kids… Senior needs to finish his work during the day so that he can join us at night…” “Oh? Are you looking at me again? I guess I must be charming enough to take your mind off work, huh, Senior?” “Senior! Senior! Senior!” Each time she said it, Zivon felt himself die a bit more inside… and in the end, he pinned her against the wall and covered her mouth before growling, “From now on, every time you call me that I’ll kiss you, you hear…?!” Unable to do a thing, all she could do was nod… but the second Zivon released his palm, Xavia immediately exclaimed, “Senior!” Irked by her taunt, he immediately planted his lips against hers, causing Xavia to widen her eyes! Though she quickly attempted to shake him off, he wasn’t about to let her off that easily this time! Continuing to kiss her as passionately as he could, he only released her once she was completely out of
