Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 98

CHAPTER 95 – YOU KNOW ME?

“I don’t think I can look at him yet,” our mother shook her head, wrapping her arms around her midsection.

“I guess,” it was hard to keep the doubt from my voice.

“Almost sounds like you don’t trust me?”

“We don’t know who to trust.”

“Not anymore,” my brother focused down the hall to our destination.

“Finally, something smart. Suspect the f**k out of everyone.”

“You don’t care that you’re under suspicion?”
