Chapter 420 A Bold Speculation

“What do you mean they look identical? And what is it about being shortsighted? What is going on?”

Josiah didn’t head to Rodunst with Winnie back then, so he didn’t know about the incident. Thus, he was confused as he listened to the conversation between Winnie and Lucas.

“Okay, so here’s what happened.” Lucas immediately explained the incident to him, recounting what happened at the dock.

When he was done, he turned to Winnie and vowed, “I swear I’m telling the truth. Although I’m shortsighted, that didn’t hinder me from recognizing him. Trust me, Winnie. It’s true!”

Winnie frowned. “Let me think it over.”

With that, she fell silent.

Josiah pondered carefully before looking at Lucas. “So you’re saying the current Xavier is not the guy we know, and is the person you saw who looked identical to him?”

“That’s right!” Lucas said, “I think this makes sense. Otherwise, how will you explain Xavier’s abnormal behavior recently?”

“So, you’re saying Xavier turned into another person after returning from Alendor?”

“No, he didn’t turn into another person,” Lucas corrected. “Instead, someone else replaced him. I once asked him if he had any twins or a hidden half-brother, but he gave me the cold shoulder. I even got told off.”

Josiah was rendered speechless by Lucas’ response before saying, “Of course, he’d ignore you when you’ve asked him such a ridiculous question. But I can assure you that he doesn’t have a twin.”

“What about a maternal half-brother?”

“I’m sure he doesn’t have a maternal half-brother. When Xavier was a teenager, his mother became a nun. You grew up in Avenport, so I’m sure you’ve heard about it.”

“Yes, I did.” Lucas nodded. “The news shocked the entire upper-class society back then. But it’s still possible for him to have a paternal half-brother. I heard Xavier’s dad had been dating another woman before getting married to his mother.”

“Even if Mr. Fairchild did have a child with another woman, from a genetic point of view, it is impossible for the child to look exactly like Xavier.”

“What if that woman happens to be Xavier’s mother’s biological twin sister?”

“How’s that possible?” Winnie couldn’t bear listening to Lucas’ absurd conjectures any longer, so she glared at him with a frown. “You’re being ridiculous.”
