Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1740 

Considering Zavier’s words, Skyler nodded in agreement. “Thanks for tagging along with me on this. If I had come back alone, meeting Iris would have been a toss-up.” 

Zavier quipped, “Well, since you’re the fiancée my family has set me up with, who else would I accompany but you?” 

His words carried an undertone. He was reminding Skyler that their relationship was approved by both their families. It wasn’t just about the two of them being willing. No one would tear them apart. 

To Skyler, though, it sounded like she was just another item arranged by her family-his past resistance and current assistance were both out of obligation. 

As they stepped out of the hotel, Skyler murmured, “Let’s hail a fancy ride. We can’t tarnish your reputation.” 

Zavier was amused by her earnest silliness. “Afraid of tarnishing my reputation by taking a cab?” 

With her head held high, Skyler retorted, “I’ll call for the most expensive one. We can’t have your reputation tarnished.”e2 

Zavier, holding Skyler’s hand, walked directly towards the Lamborghini parked at the hotel entrance. “Get in.” 

Skyler realized, “You called for a car ahead of time.” 

Without offering an explanation, Zavier said warmly, “Get in, silly.” 

Skyler didn’t waste a second and quickly jumped into the car, not even glancing back at Gilbert, who was seething with anger. 

Thinking of the usually haughty Gilbert now brought low, Skyler suddenly felt a refreshing sense of delight, as if the weather itself had brightened. 

Seeing her joy, Zavier felt genuinely happy for her. “How’re you feeling now?” 

Skyler beamed, “Absolutely fantastic. Never been better.” 

Zavier watched her smiling face and couldn’t help but smile as well. He resolved to make sure she felt this good every day, and to never let anyone bully her again. 

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Blue household. 

Gilbert had beaten them there and was already at the doorstep with the family, all wearing smiles that had never been afforded to Skyler before. They greeted her warmly as if she had always been their darling “Sky.”

But Skyler’s eyes searched only for Iris. 

Iris had longed to rush over and hug her sister, whom she missed dearly. However, with family members around, she lacked the courage. Standing at the back of the crowd, she timidly watched Skyler. 

Surrounded by relatives, Skyler couldn’t break free. It was Zavier who came to her rescue. “Every day in the Capital, you kept talking about your sister. Why not go and see her first?” 

Hearing Zavier’s suggestion, the Blue family quickly made way, pushing Iris toward Skyler. “Iris has been talking about Sky non-stop too. We told her to wait for you, but you know kids-she wandered off to play just before you arrived.” 

Skyler glanced at the speaker, about to say something but held her tongue. Iris was the most sensible. If Iris knew her sister was coming, she probably wouldn’t have slept a wink, let alone sneak off to play. 

“Skyler!” tris called out. 

“Iris…” Skyler raised her hand and gently touched Iris’ head. She had many questions for Iris, but with everyone’s attention focused on them, she couldn’t ask anything. She had to restrain even the desire to hug her own sister. 

Barbara spoke up, “Zavier, seeing you and Sky getting along so well puts our minds at ease as parents.” 

Zavier asked, “What are you at ease about?” 

Barbara replied, “Of course, about entrusting our daughter to you. We used to worry that she would be mistreated if she married far away from home, but not anymore.” 

Zavier gave a cold smile, “Is that so?”
