Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1737

Chapter 1737 

Zavier watched her dilly-dally with a look of sheer displeasure, “If a young lady like you can endure it, what’s stopping a grown man like me from staying?” 

He talked a good game, but once they reached the hotel, Zavier regretted it. The girl was making good money these days, but she still pinched pennies like nobody’s business. This place wasn’t a hotel. It was more like a dodgy motel that charged a few bucks a night. 

Not only was the cleanliness questionable, but safety seemed like a gamble too. 

Dragging her suitcase behind him, Zavier turned on his heel, “We’re leaving, now.” 

Skyler protested, “It’s past check-in time. They won’t refund the room charge.”c2 

Zavier shot back, “You got a death wish or something?” 

Skyler just fell silent. She had already told him he wouldn’t be comfortable in a cheap place like this, and he insisted on coming with her. Now he wouldn’t even let her stay alone. The guy was a real pain in the neck. 

Considering he’d rushed over in the middle of the night to help her out, she decided to let it slide. 

Zavier picked the fanciest hotel in town, the kind where a single room for one night could cost a small fortune. 

Skyler, feeling a bit embarrassed to have Zavier foot the bill after he’d come all this way, insisted on paying for the room herself. 

A room cost thousands, and getting two would run them nearly ten grand. Every penny was hard-earned, and Skyler couldn’t bring herself to splurge, so she booked just one room, planning to make do with the couch for the night. 

The pricier room, of course, came with all the bells and whistles. The air conditioning was already purring, making the room cozy and warm. 

Skyler walked in and immediately shrugged off her coat. 

Zavier looked at her and said, “That eager to bunk with me?” 

Skyler retorted, “It’s not like we haven’t shared a room before. Don’t play the innocent.” 

Zavier’s eyebrows arched, “What did you say?” 

Skyler repeated, “I said it’s not like we haven’t…..” 

She couldn’t finish her sentence. Zavier suddenly closed the distance between them. 

Skyler backed away in alarm, “What are you doing?” 

He advanced with each step, quickly cornering Skyler against the wall. Skyler had no way to retreat, “Zavier, stop kidding around.” Zavier replied, “Who’s kidding around with you?” 

“You-I…” 

Zavier leaned in, his gaze searing, “Skyler.” 

His intensity was too much, and Skyler couldn’t meet his eyes. She turned her head away, trying to escape, “What do you want?” Zavier lifted his hand, gently stroking her delicate cheek, “From now on, you tell me what’s going on. If something were to happen to you, as your fiancé, where would that leave my pride?” 

So, that was what he wanted to talk about. His words were harsh but were laced with concern. 

Skyler’s heart started to race. She opened her mouth to speak, but her 

chook so much she couldn’t get a word out. 

Zavier leaned closer, his forehead brushing against hers, “Promise me, Skyler.” 

His voice, deep and sultry, struck right at/Skyler’s heart, “I-I got it.” 

“Are you sure?” he pressed. 

Skyler hummed a soft affirmation, “Mhm.” 

Zavier’s lips sought hers. Skyler’s eyes widened as his lips drew nearer, eventually blocking her view. She felt a warm touch on her lips, first a gentle caress, then a firmer press. 

Instinctively responding, Skyler was caught off guard when Zavier suddenly pulled away. He patted her head, “It’s late. You should freshen up.” 

Skyler was speechless. Was he playing innocent now?

Zavier teased, “What are you staring at? Want more?”
