Unbreakable Love His Passion for Her Transcends Death novel Chapter 440

Xavier quickly walked in. Pretending not to see Yvette, he placed the gift bag down.

Yvette asked suspiciously, "What are you doing with my stuff?" She walked downstairs and glanced into the bag, noticing the box was still there. "Did you look at it?" she asked again.

Xavier stood still. "No. I can't see."

Yvette didn't believe him. He had clearly taken it outside and probably had someone else look at it for him. "Do you want to know what's inside?" Yvette tried to trick him.

Xavier's sleek eyebrows were slightly arched. "No."

Yvette didn't get angry. She sat down and opened the bag herself. "Your brother's gift is quite valuable. It's a gold pendant. I decided to keep it. Is that okay?"

Xavier silently listened to her deliberate deception, unable to call her out on it. Even though he thought there was no need to be jealous of what Yvette had done as a child, he begrudgingly responded, "Fine."

Seeing his expression, Yvette understood that he knew what was inside.

Not only had he secretly looked at her stuff, but he also hadn't admitted to it when asked. And so, Yvette made it obvious that she didn't throw it away as she took it back to her room.

Xavier sat alone in the living room, his expression growing darker. When Yvette came downstairs later, he was sitting on the couch without saying a word.

Yvette deliberately ignored him and started peeling an apple for herself. "Do you want some?" she offered.

"No."

Yvette didn't bother explaining when she saw him sulking. "It's getting late. I'm going to sleep." She got up to leave. However, before she took two steps, Xavier raised his hand and firmly pulled her into his arms.

Caught off-guard, Yvette leaned into his chest, her red lips brushing against his neck. Her hands, too, accidentally pressed against his thigh.

Xavier's breath hitched. "Yvvy, can we sleep together tonight?" he asked in a slightly husky voice.
