Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chatper 1744

Chapter 1744

Skyler had dropped a few grand on a swanky hotel room, and Zavier could only watch as Skyler was whisked away

by her sister, feeling a pang of loss in his chest.

Back in his own room, he pinged his buddies in their group chat, [What are you guys up to?] He sent the message,

but no one seemed to care.

Zavier: [Lucas is taken, Steven’s got his eye on a girl. I get why those love-struck fools aren’t replying. But Marc,

what’s your excuse? You ain’t got a lady love, why the cold shoulder?]

After a while, Marcus finally shot back a message, [Was just catching up with my grandma.]

Zavier: [How’s her health?]

Marcus: [Gran’s tough as nails.]

Zavier: [She’s only got you for a grandson. She not bugging you to bring home a bride?]e2

Marcus: [My gran ain’t as bored as your granddad.]

Zavier: [That’s a way to put it. You’re young now, so she’s not pressing you. Give it a couple of years, then we’ll see

if she starts nudging you.]

Marcus: [Don’t sweat it for me. You sort out your own stuff first.]

Zavier: [Already did.]

Marcus: [Really?]

Zavier: [I’ve decided to go with the family’s wishes. When Skyler is of age or after she graduates, we’ll make it

official.]

At that, Steven and Lucas, who’d been playing dead, suddenly sprang to life.

Steven: [If you’re into Skyler, just say it, man. What’s with the family wishes excuse?]

Lucas: [Never thought I’d see the day Zavier falls so hard. The age-old tale, even heroes can’t fend off Cupid’s

arrow.]

Zavier: [Thought you guys were dead. Back from the grave?]

Steven: [My bro’s getting hitched. I’d claw my way out of a coffin for that.]

Lucas: [Did you even ask Skyler? Is she down with this plan to marry you?]

Zavier: [She’ll be on board for sure.]

Steven: [Sure? You’re that certain she’ll say yes?]

Lucas: [Spill it, Zavier. What’s got you so hooked on her?]

Zavier was stumped. He’d never pondered that question. Maybe it was Skyler’s stubborn streak that got to him.

Maybe he felt for her and wanted to be her rock. Or perhaps it was just that she fit his idea of beauty.
