Yvette was starting to have a hard time breathing. Fortunately, the kiss didnât last for too long.
Xavier touched her blushing face and stopped kissing her. Then, he asked softly, âHave I scared you?â
She looked away and wanted to get out of his embrace again. However, he pulled her back into his arms once more. âDonât move. Youâre pregnant now.â
âWhy are you still doing this when you know Iâm pregnant?â she said angrily.
âWeâre husband and wife; itâs normal for us to kiss,â he said slowly.
She pulled the blanket over herself and didnât say another word. Xavier wasnât used to her being so quiet.
âCan you say something?â He didnât even realize how low he had gotten.
âThereâs nothing for me to say. I want to return to my room, so let me go now,â she coldly demanded.
Xavier didnât agree to her request and held her tighter. From that moment onward, he wanted to stay by her side so that no one else could approach her.
âIâve been remembering bits and pieces of my childhood recently.â
Yvette looked up at him in confusion. Then, he said, âI remember how you were bullied when I first met you. You fell on the ground and scraped your knees.â
She was stunned. Even at that moment, she still couldnât tell whn sheâd met Xavier and when it had been Jeremiah in the pastâshe couldnât tell them apart.
From what she could remember, sheâs first met Xavier when heâd visited the Snyder family with Luther. Back then, theyâd still been neighbors. Xavier had been standing in the yard in his white shirt.
From what she was hearing at that moment, the person sheâd met first was most likely Jeremiah.
âWhat happened next?â she asked.
âThen, you called me Xav. Now that I think about it, I didnât even know how you knew me.â Xavier told her everything he remembered about the past.
He wanted her to know who he actually was. He didnât want to be Jeremiahâs replacement.
âWere you the one who chased the thugs away?â She looked at that familiar face of his and started feeling a wave of emotions.
âYeah, you looked way too pitiful back then.â
When she heard that, her pupils constricted. She couldnât help asking, âDo you remember anything about Jeremiah?â
When he heard that, Xavierâs face fell slightly. âNo.â
Yvette felt slightly disappointed. She wanted to ask him more about Jeremiah. She wanted to know why heâd impersonated Xavier when theyâd been younger.
When Xavier noticed how she was keeping quiet after mentioning Jeremiah, he started feeling frustrated.

âAre you interested in him?â
Yvette didnât realize something was wrong with him, and she shook her head. âNo. Iâm just curious since you two are twins.â
When she looked at him again, his lips were almost touching her face. He wanted to kiss her again.
However, her phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly grabbed it and saw that it was Ray calling.
âMs. Snyder, Iâve found something.â He didnât manage to find anything at first. However, someone specifically sent him some information.
âGo on.â Yvette immediately became serious.
âYara knew Lawrence before your dad passed away. Someone purposely leaked some information to me. After your father passed away, Yara and Terrence transferred most of the Snydersâ assets to Lawrence.
âLawrence was originally a normal guy who was married into the Zelnik family. Now, he has a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars. Heâs only successful now because of how much the Snyder familyâs assets have helped him.â
As Yvette silently listened to his report, she clenched her fist tightly.
She didnât know if Yara was too cruel or if Terrence was too dumb. She couldnât believe they had actually transferred everything they had to an outsider. It finally made sense why the Snyder family had crumbled that quickly.
âThe whistleblower even told me how Yara and Lawrence already had an unusual relationship before your father passed away.â
