Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1678 

Zavier didn’t even glance her way as he strode on, completely wrapped up in his own world. 

With his long legs, he covered ground effortlessly, making Desiree practically sprint to catch up to him. “Zavier…” she panted, finally reaching him. 

She had stepped right into his path, which obviously annoyed him. “What’s up?” he asked, not hiding his irritation. 

Desiree pulled out her phone and played a video. “Just watch this.” 

Zavier wasn’t the least bit interested in the video on her phone, but the voice of Skyler, and the words Logan was saying as he confessed his feelings to her, caught his attention. He spared a glance and saw what looked like a typical high school confession scene, except Skyler’s face was tight with seriousness, not the blush of a flattered girl. It was somehow endearing. 

He raised an eyebrow, “And your point is?” 

Desiree couldn’t read his thoughts and didn’t dare to be too blunt. “I know Skyler’s your family’s choice for a fiancée, but not everyone knows that. It’s normal for others to express their interest in her.”e2 

Zavier gave her a cold look. “I’m tight with your brother, but I hardly know you. Please don’t act like we are friends.” 

Stunned by his response, Desiree then heard Zavier add, “I really dislike sneaks like you who stir up trouble behind the scenes. Don’t bring this kind of stuff to me again.” 

“Fine, it’s not my place to meddle in your affairs. I just didn’t want you to be deceived,” she said, just as she spotted Skyler coming their way. She quickly concocted a plan, pretending to lose her balance and threw herself into Zavier’s arms. 

As Skyler turned the corner and saw Desiree lunge toward Zavier, she was too close for comfort and couldn’t turn back without being seen. Skyler covered her eyes and dashed past them, muttering to herself, “I didn’t see anything. I swear…” 

Zavier almost laughed at how absurdly innocent she was, and he didn’t let Desiree cling to him for long, pushing her away firmly. 

His gaze turned icy as he looked back at Desiree, “Don’t try these low tricks with me, or you won’t know what hit you.” 

Desiree tried to make an excuse, “Zavier, I just…” 

“Enough!” he barked. “Go!” 

Knowing she had lost her chance, Desiree threw caution to the wind, “Zavier, I like you, and I can handle you not feeling the same. But what about you? Are you really content with settling for someone chosen by your family?” 

“It’s none of your business,” Zavier snapped. “Who are you to me, exactly?” 

Desiree didn’t know what to say to that. 

Who was she to him? Everyone at school thought she was Zavier’s girl, but he had never acknowledged her. It had always been a one-sided affair. 

At that moment, Reid, along with Garrett and their group, approached. “Reid, your sister struts around the school like she owns the place, but bringing her drama to Zavier is too much.” 

Reid and the others had a good relationship with Garrett and usually hung out together, He had also often advised his sister not to fantasize about men like Zavier. Zavier’s marriage was a sacrifice for the family, and he had no authority to make decisions independently. 

But this girl seemed to be under some kind of spell, as if no one else but Zavier would do.
