“Thank you, Grandpa.” Zavier turned to look at Skyler. Despite having a thousand words on his mind, he simply

uttered a brief sentence. “Skyler, you just hang tight here, okay? I’ll be back before you know it.”

Skyler offered a warm smile, “Okay.”

Then Zavier said to Hudson, “Grandpa, please look after Skyler for me.”

Hudson waved dismissively, “You’re a grown man. Stop fussing like an old maid. Go and handle your business. You

can only protect the ones you love when you’ve got your own affairs sorted.”

Zavier nodded, “Got it.”

Skyler gave him an encouraging smile, “Hurry back.”

And with that, Zavier was gone.e2

No sooner had he left than Skyler heard Hudson’s sobering words, “Skyler, the Blue family going bust means you’re

no longer playing in the same league as the Riveras, you get that, right?”

Skyler nodded slowly, “I understand.”

Hudson seemed pleased, “I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders.”

Skyler laughed bitterly, “I just wish I wasn’t so clear on the situation right now.”

Hudson continued, “You’re a good kid, a real catch for any regular family. It’s just a damn shame that my grandson

“Hudson,” Skyler’s address to him shifted with the gravity of the moment, “Did you even discuss this with Zavier

before making your decision? Does he want this?”

She forced a smile, “If this was Zavier’s wish, I wouldn’t hesitate. But we both know he has no intention of calling off

our engagement. He trusts you completely, and that’s why he left me in your care. If he knew you’d tricked me

here, then sent him away, knowing his temper, he’d resent you for sure.”

Hudson gripped his coffee mug a little tighter, his tone even, “So you want him to resent me?”

Skyler was taken aback, “I don’t want him to hate you, but your actions will lead to that.”

Hudson deflected, making it about her choice, Whether Zavier resents me is entirely down to what you decide.”
