Yvette had finally asked Jeremiah about it. He said, âYouâve been going to Lane Mansion since you were young, Yvvy. Have you ever heard about the Lanes having twins?â
She shook her head. If sheâd known that Xavier had a twin brother, she wouldâve definitely wondered if sheâd loved the wrong person before.
However, despite visiting the Lanes multiple times after coming to Tirion, she had never heard that Xavier had a twin brother. No one outside the family had talked about it either.
âThatâs because I was diagnosed with a terrible sickness when I was born. I couldnât get too cold, and I couldnât be exposed to the harsh sunlight.
âI spent most of my childhood in the ICU, and no one in my family thought I would survive. So, they never told the world about my existence. I only returned to Lane Mansion when my condition improved.
âHowever, I was still too weak, so I almost had no contact with the outside world. Of course, you were the only exception.â
He continued explaining, âI told you I was Xavier because I was worried you might be disgusted by my sickness. The Lanes wouldnât have wanted someone as useless as me to appear in public as well.â
As Yvette listened to him, she finally understood his pain.
âIâm sorry for not knowing all of this. I wasnât avoiding you or acting like
I didnât know you on purpose. I just didnât know how I should face you or what I should say at all.
âIâve always remembered how you helped me and stayed by my side when we were younger. I remember everything.â

As she spoke, her eyes became redder, and the tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She suddenly felt like the villain. Those reasons were why sheâd become distant from the man who used to treat her well,
Jeremiah lifted his hand to wipe her tears away, but she instinctly avoided him. His hand froze in midair. âYvvy, do you still remember our
promise?â
She looked up at him.
âYou promised youâd marry me when I returned. Do you still remember that?â he asked slowly.
Yvetteâs body tensed up slightly, and her face became pale. Back then, sheâd gotten stabbed when sheâd saved him. Heâd held her tightly and said, âWait for me. When I return, weâll get married.â
She still had the scar on her back. That promise was the reason sheâd married Xavier without any hesitation. However, it had all turned out to be a huge mistake.
âYou know Iâm married.â She felt ashamed and clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm. âBesides, youâre getting engaged as well. So, letâs forget about our promise.â
Jeremiahâs heart skipped a beat, and he said, âAs long as youâre willing to do it, I can call off the engagement right away.â
His intentions were clear. Heâd agreed to marry Zoey because of Shannon. Heâd also wanted to see how Yvette would react. At that moment, he wanted her to make a choice.
When she heard that, she rejected his idea without a second thought, â Iâm sorry.â
Even if she got divorced from Xavier, sheâd never marry Jeremiah.

She wasnât the same Yvette from before anymore. Now, she had Noah and Zachary, not to mention the baby in her womb. She didnât think she was worthy of being with Jeremiah anymore.
Jeremiah hadnât expected her to reject his idea so quickly. He wasnât ready to give up. âYvvy, is there anything else youâre worried about? I can deal with Xavier and force him to divorce you. Then, Iâll get someone to take care of him.â
Seeing how Yvette wasnât reacting, he smiled bitterly. âIf it hadnât been for him, you wouldâve married me instead.â
If heâd returned during the first three years of her marriage with Xavier, she wouldâve agreed to his suggestion without any hesitation.
However, everything had changed, and all she could do was apologize. Iâm sorry.â
She opened the door, ready to leave. Suddenly, Jeremiah pulled her into his embrace.
