Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1668

Chapter 1668 

Dustin, lacking any sense of subtlety, blurted out, “Zavier, I thought you weren’t keen on that Blue family girl? Why are you holding onto her like she’s your teddy bear?” 

Jillian eyed Skyler, who was nestled in Zavier’s embrace, with a hint of displeasure in her voice, “Silly boy, you still don’t get it? Looks like your granddad will be bouncing a great-grandkid on his knee any day now.” 

Skyler was at a loss for words. There was no point in explaining. No need to justify herself to these people. 

Zavier greeted cheerfully, “Good morning, guys. Skyler and I have morning classes, so we won’t be joining you for breakfast. We’ve got to run.” 

With that, he didn’t wait for their approval and whisked Skyler away. 

Zavier was a rule-breaker, and nobody could really tell him what to do. So naturally, the chatter about Skyler resumed. 

Jillian scoffed, “They say the Blue family is high society. But what kind of high society girl doesn’t even greet her elders?”e2 

Matthew chimed in, “Not every child of a prestigious family is going to have impeccable manners.” 

The gossip grew wilder with each passing remark until Hudson appeared, and the group’s murmurs faded. 

Once they were outside and away from prying eyes, Skyler finally felt uncomfortable, ‘Zavier, you can let go of me now.” 

Zavier stopped in his tracks but his arm remained snug around her waist, “What’s the matter? Afraid I’ll take a bite out of you?” 

His presence was overwhelming, and Skyler instinctively shrank back, “Nobody’s watching us anymore. You don’t have to keep up this 

act.” 

Zavier released Skyler, “You may be timid as a mouse, but at least you’re not foolish enough to think I’m protecting you because I’m fond of you or anything.” 

Skyler knew her place. 

Zavier prodded, “Cat got your tongue? What’s the mouth for if not for talking?” 

Skyler retorted, “Besides talking, I can eat with it.” 

Saying more often led to more troubles, and Skyler learned this lesson at a very young age. Therefore, right now, she tried to speak less and avoided arguing whenever possible. 

Zavier studied her lips, which moved silently before him, plump and rosy like ripe peaches, utterly enticing. 

Peaches were sweet, but were her lips just as sweet? Realizing his thoughts were straying, Zavier almost wanted to slap himself for having such improper ideas about a young girl. He grumbled, “I’ve never seen you eat much either. Look at you, skin and bones. Eat more, or else the Blue family will think we’re mistreating you at the Rivera house.” 

Skyler murmured under her breath, “They couldn’t care less.” 

Nobody was concerned about whether she went hungry. They were only interested in what advantages she could bring them from her association with the Rivera family. 

Zavier didn’t catch her words, “What was that?” 

Skyler glanced at her wristwatch, “I’m about to be late. Can you drop me off outside the estate, maybe at the nearest subway station?” 

Zavier raised an eyebrow, “Well, aren’t you getting bold.”
