Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1705

Chapter 1705 

Lucas, “You’re on a hot streak, buddy-two games, two wins. Marc, every time we play, it’s like you’ve got Lady Luck wrapped around your finger. Aren’t you afraid you’ll scare us all off with your winning ways?” 

Steve grinned and said. “Let the man have his moment of glory. It’s not like he’s got much luck in the love department. Let him have his wins at the poker table.” 

Luke quipped, “You never know, tomorrow might just be the day Marc meets the girl of his dreams.” 

Steve burst out laughing. “Marc? Find love tomorrow? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in years.” 

Luke shrugged, “You can’t predict these things. Just the other day, you were telling us you hadn’t met anyone special, and look at you now.” 

Steve countered, “That’s different, man.” 

Luke mused, “Tomorrow’s a new day. Who knows what could happen.”e2 

“Why don’t we make a bet on it?” Steve proposed. 

“On what?” Luke asked. 

“Should we get Zavier in on this?” Steve said, looking around. 

Zavier, never one to miss out on a bit of fun, chimed in, “Count me in. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” 

Steve declared, “I bet Marc’s destined to be a bachelor for life. How about you, Luke?” 

Luke pondered for a moment, “Love’s a tricky thing. Marc may seem like a lone wolf now, but who’s to say he won’t meet the right girl tomorrow. I bet within two years, he’ll be smitten.” 

“What about you, Zavier?” Steve turned to Zavier. 

Zavier glanced at Marc and said, “Two years is a short bet. Ten years seems fair. I can’t believe that in a decade, no woman will have made her way into Marc’s heart.” 

“Deal. The losers do whatever the winner wants,” Steve declared. 

Luke added, “Just keep your hands off my Rosie, and you’re on.” 

“I’m a gentleman. I wouldn’t go after a friend’s wife,” Steve scoffed. 

“Alright, I’m in for whatever,” Zavier agreed. 

“I’m going to win this,” Steve boasted. 

Marc interjected, “You guys are using me as a betting chip right in front of me. What am I, invisible?” 

“Nope, just the star of the bet,” Steve replied with a wink. 

“How about you join in, Marc?” Zavier suggested. 

“Why not?” Marcus agreed. 

Luke said, “If Marc joins, doesn’t that mean he’s sure to win?” 

Steve wasn’t worried, “Let him. I want to see when he plans to tie the knot.” 

Marc thought for a moment, “Next lifetime, maybe.” 

“Okay, then. May the longest-lived among us win,” Steve joked. 

The guys continued their banter, each throwing in their two cents. 

Meanwhile, Rosie sidled up to Skylar and whispered conspiratorially, “Hey Skyler, you know who that guy with the glasses is?” 

Skyler nodded, “Just met him through Zavier.” 

Rosie’s eyes twinkled with intrigue, “He’s quite the character. Lucas looks up to him a lot. There are all sorts of rumors, most of them bad, and people outside our circle are pretty scared of him.” 

She sneaked a glance at Marc and said, “But from the few times I’ve been around him with Luke, he doesn’t seem as intimidating as the rumors suggest. He’s just a bit quiet and not big on jokes.” 

Skylar, not well-acquainted with the group, didn’t want to delve too deep into gossip, “What we hear about someone isn’t always the whole story. His life is his own business.”

Rosie nodded in understanding, then quickly changed the subject, “What about you and Zavier? Do you like him?” 

Skylar laughed softly, “Family arrangements don’t really come down to likes and dislikes, do they?”
