Chapter 220 When Xavier saw how miserable Yvette looked, he panicked. Then, he immediately took her back home. When they returned to his house, he grabbed a shirt and covered her up. "What did you want to ask me?" "Did you have a twin brother?" She held the photo in her hand tightly, but she didn't show it to him right away.
When he heard her mention Jeremiah, his gaze turned cold instantly. He let go of her arm and said, "Yes." "Why haven't I heard about him before? Where is he now?" she continued asking.

"It's the Lane family's business, and you don't have to know about it." When Yvette heard that, she knew he didn't know much about it. She was glad that she hadn't shown him the photo. She secretly put it in her pocket and said, "I understand. I won't ask about it anymore." Xavier continued probing. "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

"Did someone say something to you?" he asked again.
Yvette didn't tell him the truth, so she lied. "I heard you talking to Madam Shannon before and learned that you had a brother. When I returned from a walk earlier, I heard someone mention it, and I wanted to ask you about it." It was such a llie that Xavier didn't believe it at all. After all, he had seen how anxious Yvette had been when she had clooking for him. She had seemed so lost that it had felt like something terrible had happened.
"I'm sorry. I was too anxious earlier, and I've embarrassed you." She slowly calmed herself down as she apologized.
Xavier stopped asking about it. "Don't ever mention him in front ofagain." The banquet was still going on, so he went back out instead of staying in the house.
After he had left, no one else was there. That was when Yvette dared to take out the photo she had been holding so tightly earlier.

Now that she had seen the photo, her childhood memories started coming back to her. Yvette sat on the couch, unable to stop thinking about that gentle young man.
He had taught her how to do her homework and had played the piano with a smile. He had also chased +15 BONUS away the people who bullied her. Then, he had looked for her in the middle of the night to take her home.
Yvette clearly remembered that when she had been hard on herself, he had said, "Yvvy, we all have a great m I have a obstacle we have to get over in our lives. If we can do it, we'll be able to live a better life." That was the reason she had wanted to survive every obstacle in life after that.
