Yvonne's heart skipped a beat. She widened her eyes and stared at Zachary in shock, "Yo-you, how did you...?"
Zachary knew that he had figured out the truth judging from Yvonne's reaction.
It seemed like Fabian was actually a girl.
Back then, when Zachary first met with Fabian, he couldn't shake off the feeling that Fabian was acting weirdly.
Since she was dressed in a suit, she seemed quite tall. Thus, Zachary didn't find anything out of the blue and never expected him to be a woman.
"Felicia," Zachary spoke again in a calm tone. He looked at his wife with a smile and said, "You are the one who said it yourself."
Yvonne pouted. She sighed in annoyance and finally admitted it, "You actually heard that?"
"I'm not deaf, I can deduce it myself. It seems like she is really a woman after all," Zachary said with a chuckle.
"Keep it a secret please," Yvonne immediately reached out her hand and covered Zachary's lips with her palm. She whispered to stop him from continuing, "Keep it a secret. Zachary, I kept reminding myself to address her as Mr. Trevino, so you will continue addressing her as Mr. Trevino too."
Zachary blinked. He could feel her soft palm against his lips. He enjoyed this kind of intimacy.
As he stared at Yvonne and smirked faintly, he remained calm and composed. The expression in his eyes indicated that he was feeling smug for being right.
"You're very smart and I admit, it was my fault for being dumb and revealing the secret. It isn't easy for Mr. Trevino since she has some family issues. Every family has their own difficulties, and that's the same for her. It wasn't easy for her."
Zachary did not speak, he continued to stare at her.
"Zachary, in fact, the reason why I stayed by her side was that she was also a woman and would cause no harm to me. Thus, I continued to pretend to be her girlfriend so she could continue acting like a guy. I would have left her a long time ago if she turned out to be a guy," There was no way Yvonne could stay by a man's side for so long.
Zachary removed her hand from his mouth.
"Oh?" His voice was low and mellow, sounding much like it had contained wisdom not of his age. His tone was neither mad nor happy as he asked, "Did you really want to hide this kind of thing from me?"
"I'm not hiding it from you," Yvonne explained, "This is just someone else's business."
"On his passport, Fabian is registered as a man," Zachary added in a low voice.
"That's because with the Trevino family's influence, she was able to create two passports. She is that capable," Yvonne explained.
"The Trevino family?" Zachary frowned as he recalled, "Felicia? Could it be that her grandfather is...!"
"Zachary." Yvonne interrupted Zachary again, "No matter who it is, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that she is very kind to me and our daughter!"
Zachary looked at Yvonne for a moment and nodded, "Well, I agree. It doesn't matter to us since it's the Trevino family's business as well as Mr. Trevino's business. All we have to do is give him our blessings and not stick our nose into his business."
This was an act of respect towards Yvonne's and Fabian's wishes.
Zachary was grateful for Fabian or the so-called
Mr. Trevino. He was there for Yvonne when she needed help the most.
Some time ago, the same person told him the real reason why Yvonne left.
Because of these, he was easily one of the people he owed a tremendous debt to.
Upon hearing how Zachary addressed her, Yvonne knew that Zachary had accepted it and would not make things difficult for her.
She smiled sweetly, "Zachary, thank you."
Zachary also smiled and nodded. He urged in a low voice, "Then, are you still in a hurry to go to the washroom now?"
The washroom?
