Chapter 478: To Begin With (Ch.479)
Xenon passed Neveah a glance, shifting his gaze away when Neveah also glanced over at him.
He maintained his silence and Neveah was in no hurry, she had much more with which she could convict him.
"As it turned out, I ended up choosing to join father’s ranks as a dune enforcer. And in all these months, there has not been a single thing I casually ntioned or complained about that was not miraculously delivered to
or taken care of." Neveah continued.
"Now, while I would like to believe I have very blessed luck, the mystery of it all just screams your na, Xenon." Neveah accused.
"How and why? I an, it could have been anyone...why have you concluded it was ?" Xenon asked, still avoiding Neveah’s gaze.
"Other than the fact that you have admitted it unconsciously? I know you, Xenon. And you are the only one I know that could be so unreasonable." Neveah deadpanned.
Xenon pursed his lips, clearly having no defence against the word Neveah had chosen to use.
"Everyone else would listen and honor my choices, stay away and let
live my life or at least, no one else would be so decisive and obsessive about my personal affairs to the point of being unreasonable."
" But you, Xenon, you only ever do as you please. You do not listen...you are too domineering and possessive to let an entire year of my life pass by without interfering in so way." Neveah accused.
Innocent as Xenon tried to appear, it was exactly so and Neveah knew it. Xenon was naturally a domineering and obsessive man, Neveah had figured this out early enough.
Not a single mont would pass where Xenon would not do exactly as it pleased him and exactly what was in his heart even if it was precisely what he was asked not to do.
"And so, I am not angry at you for not coming to see . I am angry for quite the opposite...in the past year, you have not let
be for even a mont and I have to wonder, if you believed I would forget you if you didn’t do sothing to annoy ." Neveah said pointedly.
"I..." Xenon began to say but he trailed off, still having no words to defend himself.
"Look
in the eyes, Xenon. Look at
directly and tell
it was all just a coincidence and you had nothing to do with it. If you say it... I will believe you." Neveah dared.
Xenon hesitated for a short mont but finally, he looked over to Neveah, and as his gaze t Neveah’s expectant gaze, Neveah’s heart did the familiar skip,
She found herself marvelling at those pools of onyx black and just how mysterious and captivating they still were.
It had been a year already, Neveah had hoped she had completely cleared her head by this ti. She had even been thankful for the ti away from Xenon, ti she believed would allow her ta her heart.
But Neveah realized in this mont just how much she had missed this man... how much she still longed for him...a lot had changed in a year.
Was this feeling sothing that would never change? What had Xenon done exactly that his place in her heart could endure for this long?
"Xenon...do you not have sothing you want to say to ?" Neveah asked, pulling herself out of her daze.
Xenon blinked, the only visible sign that for a mont there, he had also lost track of what he had in mind.
"I’m guilty... I just... I was losing my mind being unable to see you, I just had to do sothing." Xenon muttered, admitting to all of Neveah’s accusations.
"And ignoring my opinion was that sothing you settled on?" Neveah asked with a small frown.
"I was hoping it would not be so obvious..." Xenon confessed in an apprehensive tone.
"Right... " Neveah humd.
"And that was why the local physician at the infirmary suddenly beca so nice and receiving when he originally considered
unwanted competition?" Neveah asked.
"I am not sorry about that! He threatened you! And you would not allow Kaideon get involved, even kept your identity hidden! No one is allowed to conceive the thought of hurting you, Veah...I will not stand for it..." Xenon clarified, completely unapologetic.
"It was not a threat, Xenon. At least not that serious." Neveah replied with a sigh.
"His exact words were ’Do not co around here anymore or I will make you regret it’. Now, the White Dunes is not his...no one gets to tell you when to co and go and he surely got to understand the aning of regret." Xenon muttered.
Neveah exhaled a heavy sigh, Xenon was as stubborn as ever and in his hard headedness, he was digging an even deeper pit for himself.
"You know what happened on that day better than I who was even there. Who do you have on , Xenon?" Neveah asked with a glare.
Xenon chuckled awkwardly as he realised he had let it slip that he was perfectly inford of everything that Neveah had been up to and all that had happened.
"Are you not going to tell ?" Neveah asked, standing up to leave.
"Garron! It’s Garron..." Xenon gave up his source of information with a wince.
Neveah scoffed beneath her breath, she was not even surprised the mole was one of her uncles. They were furious enough at narx to play matchmaker behind her back.
"What an uncle, I have. The traitor..." Neveah murmured.
"He had no bad intentions... Garron owes
a favour and I threatened him..." Xenon again confessed to his actions.
Neveah slumped down to a seat, gazing up at the sky like she would find help and answers there, which of course was a futile attempt.
"What am I going to do with you, Xenon?" Neveah asked in an exasperated tone.
"To begin with...hug ?" Xenon suggested, a beguiling smile on his lips.
