Chapter 1746
During the chillier months, he had stocked up on all sorts of cozy mittens for her, but when they were together, his broad palms were her best source of warmth.
Zavier tightened his grip, âLetâs go see a doctorâ
At that, Skyler panicked, clutching at Zavierâs shirt, âAre you hurt?â
Zavier caught her fumbling hands, âOther girlsâ hands arenât as cold as yours. Thatâs not normal, so I thought we should have a doctor check you out.â
His words were full of concern, but Skyler fixated on the wrong detail, âZavier, have you been holding other girlsâ hands?â
Zavier, completely baffled, stammered, âWhen have I ever held another girlâs hand?â
Skyler pressed, âIf you havenât held another girlâs hand, how would you know their hands are warm?âe2
She was letting her imagination run wild. Zavier couldnât help but laugh, though thinking about her jealousy suddenly brightened his mood, âScaredy-cat, you only act tough with me.â
Skyler insisted, âAnswer my question, no changing the subject.â
With a firm but gentle pull, Zavier drew her into his embrace, wrapping her in his coat, âI asked a doctor. Thatâs how I know.â
Snuggled against him, she listened to his steady heartbeat and nuzzled closer, âDonât lie to
me.â
Zavier leaned down, kissing her forehead softly, then found her lips, whispering, âExcept for your hand, I donât hold any girlâs hand.â
Skyler murmured, âMe neither.â
Her voice was soft, her cheeks flushed, but Zavier heard her loud and clear, his heart warming at her words, âWhat did you say?â
Skyler deflected, âIâm hungry.â
This tactic had always worked on Zavier, but not today, âTell me, what did you just say?â
âYou know,â Skyler said, her voice a whisper.
Zavier persisted, âBut I want to hear you say it.â
âExcept for your hand, I wonât hold any other boyâs hand,â she finally confessed.
Zavier was overjoyed, lifting Skyler into his arms.

Startled, Skyler protested, âWeâre still at school, donât get carried away.â
Zavier teased, âSo itâs okay to get carried away when weâre not at school?â
Before she could respond, Zavier whispered in her ear, âI wish you were graduating
tomorrow.â
Skyler sighed, âItâs still more than a year away.â
Zavierâs voice was husky, âSkyler, I canât wait another second.â
He was holding her so close, and she felt his response even through their layers of clothing. âLetâs go to your place tonight.â She actually didnât mind this. On her twentieth birthday, passion had led them further than before, and in the heat of the moment, things had naturally progressed until an accident at the last minute.
Zavier raised an eyebrow, âHmm?â
Realizing her boldness, Skylerâs face turned beet red, burning hot. She quickly changed the subject, âZavier, Iâm really hungry.â
Zavier, ever considerate, wouldnât push her when she was hungry, âAlright, letâs grab something to eat first.â
However, just as they got into the car, Skylerâs phone rang with a call from the Blue family. She frowned, hesitating whether to answer or not, when Zavierâs phone rang too.
He glanced at her before answering his call.
Skyler couldnât hear what the person on the other end was saying, but she watched as Zavierâs expression grew darker and darker.
