Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1728

Skyler never expected that the song she wrote would be so well-loved. Now, wherever she went, she could hear her own song, and it was truly a delightful experience. “I didn’t think it that far,” she’d say with a shrug, “I am just focusing on learning and making music for a living.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Zavier’s voice broke through his musings, “Hey, come have dinner with me tonight. We need to talk about all this buzz you’re creating.”

“Sure thing,” Skyler replied.

“Meet me at the South Gate now, I’m waiting for you.”

“On my way,” Skyler said, and with that, she grabbed her jacket, not bothering to change her clothes, knowing full well how precious Zavier’s time was.

Emma caught her just as she was leaving. “Did you add Zavier? What were you two chatting about? Rushing off like this, is it a date?”

“A date? No way, he wants to discuss work stuff,” Skyler retorted.e2

“You dummy, work my foot! He’s just using that as an excuse to take you out.”

Skyler didn’t buy it for a second. “Gotta go. I’ll bring something back for you guys. What do you want to eat?”

“Wait till Amanda gets back. We’ll text you,” Emma laughed.

“Deal.”

Skyler made a beeline for the South Gate, spotting Zavier’s unmistakable red sports car from a mile away. That guy never knew the meaning of ‘low-key’.

A crowd of students had gathered nearby, buzzing with speculation about Zavier. Skyler quickly got into the car, “People are talking. Let’s get out of here. I don’t want to be on display.”

Instead of driving off, Zavier cheekily lowered the convertible’s top, giving the onlookers a show.

“What are you doing?!” Skyler exclaimed.

Zavier replied, “Skyler, stop worrying about what others think. You need the courage to be disliked to live freely.”

Skyler knew that to have the bravery to be disliked, one needed strength, and she wasn’t sure she had it yet. “Just drive, please.” “What, scared of people knowing you’re with me?” Zavier prodded.

Skyler nodded, “Yeah.”

At her earnest nod, Zavier felt a surge of annoyance, “Ashamed to be seen with me? You think I don’t deserve you, huh?” Skyler flinched at his tone, “When did I say you didn’t deserve me? Weren’t we supposed to work hard to annul this engagement? Since we’re both aiming to dissolve it, why make everyone aware that we had this chapter between us?”

Zavier floored the accelerator, the car shooting forward like an arrow. “What if I don’t want to annul it?”

Skyler, nearly drowned out by the roar of the engine, asked, “What did you say?”

So the girl was playing deaf now. Zavier ignored her, driving on at breakneck speed.

Skyler clung to her seatbelt for dear life, afraid she might be flung from the car at any moment.

Eventually, they arrived at a familiar haunt the same place where Zavier had introduced her to his friends before. “Meeting your buddies again?”

Zavier exited the car without a word and strode inside. Skyler hurried after him, “Zavier, what’s got you so mad?”

Zavier remained silent. Yeah, what was he so mad about, anyway?
