    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, “Let’s go see a doctor”


    At that, Skyler panicked, clutching at Zavier’s shirt, “Are you hurt?”


    Zavier caught her fumbling hands, “Other girls’ hands aren’t as cold as yours. That’s not normal, so I


    thought we should have a doctor check you out.”


    His words were full of concern, but Skyler fixated on the wrong detail, “Zavier, have you been holding


    other girls’ hands?”

    Zavier,pletely baffled, stammered, “When have I ever held another girl’s hand?”


    Skyler pressed, “If you haven’t held another girl’s hand, how would you know their hands are warm?”e2


    She was letting her imagination run wild. Zavier couldn’t help butugh, though thinking about her


    jealousy suddenly brightened his mood, “Scaredy-cat, you only act tough with me.”


    Skyler insisted, “Answer my question, no changing the subject.”


    With a firm but gentle pull, Zavier drew her into his embrace, wrapping her in his coat, “I asked a


    doctor. That’s how I know.”


    Snuggled against him, she listened to his steady heartbeat and nuzzled closer, “Don’t lie to me.”


    Zavier leaned down, kissing her forehead softly, then found her lips, whispering, “Except for your hand,


    I don’t hold any girl’s hand.”


    Skyler murmured, “Me neither.”


    Her voice was soft, her cheeks flushed, but Zavier heard her loud and clear, his heart warming at her


    words, “What did you say?”


    Skyler deflected, “I’m hungry.”


    This tactic had always worked on Zavier, but not today, “Tell me, what did you just say?”


    “You know,” Skyler said, her voice a whisper.


    Zavier persisted, “But I want to hear you say it.”


    “Except for your hand, I won’t hold any other boy’s hand,” she finally confessed.


    Zavier was overjoyed, lifting Skyler into his arms.


    Startled, Skyler protested, “We’re still at school, don’t get carried away.”


    Zavier teased, “So it’s okay to get carried away when we’re not at school?”


    Before she could respond, Zavier whispered in her ear, “I wish you were graduating tomorrow.”


    Skyler sighed, “It’s still more than a year away.”


    Zavier’s voice was husky, “Skyler, I can’t wait another second.”


    He was holding her so close, and she felt his response even through theiryers of clothing. “Let’s go


    to your ce tonight.” She actually didn’t 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 ident at


    thest minute.


    Zavier raised an eyebrow, “Hmm?”


    Realizing her boldness, Skyler’s face turned beet red, burning hot. She quickly changed the subject,


    “Zavier, I’m really hungry.”


    Zavier, ever considerate, wouldn’t push her when she was hungry, “Alright, let’s grab something to eat


    first.”


    However, just as they got into the car, Skyler’s phone rang with a call from the Blue family. She


    frowned, hesitating whether to answer or not, when Zavier’s phone rang too.


    He nced at her before answering his call.


    Skyler couldn’t hear what the person on the other end was saying, but she watched as Zavier’s


    expression grew darker and darker.
