Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1743

Chapter 1743 

Skyler’s heart skipped a beat before pounding wildly in her chest as Zavier’s ambiguous words hung in the air. ‘Zavier, please don’t say things that could be misunderstood.” 

tris suddenly perked up, her big doe eyes widening as she gazed at Zavier. “You like my sister, don’t you?” 

Kids and their instincts. From the moment Iris had met Zavier, she knew there was something special about him because of the way he treated her sister. 

Months had passed without seeing Skyler, and Iris noticed a stark change in her sister. Back in the day, her sister shared Iris’ fear of their household, they’d barely breathe too loudly in front of their kin, often on the receiving end of venomous words or even a harsh slap. 

But this time, her sister returned with a newfound courage, far from the trembling leaf she used to be around family. This version of her sister seemed even more beautiful and 

reassuring. 

If possible, Iris really wished she could leave this place with her sister and never come back, never see these people again. 

Before Zavier could reply, Skyler interjected, “Iris, be careful with their words.”e2 

But Iris had that mischievous sparkle that kids sometimes get, especially around a sister they adore, “Sis, I’m not making things up. Besides, I was asking my brother-in-law, and he hasn’t answered yet. Why are you in such a hurry?” 

Skyler turned to Zavier, “Zavier, she’s just a kid. Don’t take it to heart.” 

Zavier smiled at Iris, “It’s only natural for people to like someone as amazing as your sister, isn’t it?” 

“So, you do like my sister?” Iris pressed on. 

Zavier nodded. “Of course, I do.” His answer was short and to the point. That was just the kind of guy he was. 

Skyler nudged him discreetly, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of the kid.” 

Zavier retorted, “Who’s talking nonsense? I’ve never been more serious.” 

Skyler was at a loss for words. 

Iris chimed in again, “If you like my sister, then you must always treat her well. You can’t ever hurt her.” 

Zavier ruffled Iris’ hair with a smile, “I promise you right here and now that I’ll always treat your sister well. If I don’t, you can deal with me as you see fit.”

But ironically, it would be Zavier who would cause Skyler the deepest hurt in the future. When he realized his mistake, it was already too late. Skyler had decisively fled from his life, and it took him so long to find her again. 

Excited by the promise, Iris looked at Skyler, only to see her sister’s eyes brimming with tears. “What’s wrong? If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask.” 

Skyler shook her head, “Don’t worry, Iris. I’m fine.” 

Zavier’s concern was palpable as he echoed Iris’ question, “What’s wrong?” 

“I’m fine,” Skyler insisted. 

But the more they showed their concern, the more she inexplicably felt like crying. She quickly diverted by fussing over Iris with the food, masking her true emotions. 

Zavier kept his gaze on her, “Scaredy-cat, what’s really going on?” 

Skyler snapped back, “I said I’m fine. Why do you keep asking?” 

Zavier fell silent. The girl wasn’t scared anymore, at least not in front of him. In front of others, she was still the same little scaredy-cat. 

Nonetheless, the meal was finished in a cheerful atmosphere. 

After dinner, Iris clung to Skyler, refusing to let go, and Skyler indulged her, embracing her sister’s whims for once.
