Upon hearing that, Xavia instantly gulped. She had completely forgotten about that! It took her a while, but she eventually muttered, “…While it was true that I slept with him three years ago, I was pregnant for about ten months so that age is normal for Yulia…”
…A reasonable explanation. If only she hadn’t mentioned that Yulia was three, he would’ve believed her too. Sadly, despite how innocent she seemed, it appeared that even Xavia was capable of lying…
Worried that he’d continue asking about the topic, she quickly added, “A-anyway… I don’t have an issue with putting Yulia under your name… That way, we can be a true family of four…”
Though he would’ve usually been overjoyed to hear that, the fact that she was potentially lying made his heart hurt too much for him to be anything but frustrated. Still, at the end of the day, she was still a victim… It appeared that he needed to start making his own investigations.
After returning to the villa, Zivon called Nathan to the study before asking, “Any progress regarding Xavia’s incident back then?”
“…None, I’m afraid. All the clues simply end at dead ends…”
“…You have the hotel name and even the room number but you haven’t managed to find anything new? Are you that incompetent?”
“T-that…! …Look, I’ve already checked that specific room’s occupants throughout that month, and I even looked into the hotel’s VIP list… But alas, I found nothing suspicious! I even went to the hotel to ask and apparently, they know just as much as I do! From what I can assume, that man simply forgot about that one-night stand or he’s keeping it hush hush to not let his wife learn about all this…” whimpered Nathan.
…Wife? True enough, that man could have easily been a married one… Was that why Xavia didn’t want to talk about all this? Infuriated by that thought, he ended up growling, “…Toss the key suspects out of the country and teach them a lesson overseas.”
