Chapter 827 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Hudson leaned on his cane, giving it an assertive tap on the floor as he turned to Zavier with a pointed look, “I’m letting you off the hook today, only because of Joshua and Skyler’s sakes. If you keep spouting nonsense in this house, I won’t recognize you as my grandson.” Zavier flashed a disarming smile, “Grandpa, you’re saying she gets to push me around, but I can’t fight back?” At that, Hudson looked like he wanted to thwack Zavier with his cane. He had just mentioned Skyler, who, having previously retreated to a corner, now felt compelled to step forward, greeting Hudson respectfully, “Good evening, Grandpa.” “Good evening, Skyler.”
• Hudson coaxed with a smile, waving Skyler closer, “Come here, and let me get a good look at you, kiddo.” Skyler approached Hudson promptly. Hudson examined her closely, concern etching his features, “Child, you seem to have thinned out since last month. Tell me, is Zavier not taking good care of you?” Skyler could tell despite his stern tone, Hudson genuinely cared for her well-being. She didn’t want someone who cared about her to worry, “Grandpa, Zavier takes great care of me. He makes sure I have the best of everything.” “But you look like you’ve lost weight,” Hudson persisted.
• The truth was that the recent academic pressures and her side job teaching piano had left her with little time for proper meals, naturally resulting in weight loss. However, Skyler offered a considerate excuse, “I think I’m just not quite used to the Capital yet. I’ll be back to normal soon.” Hudson seemed appeased, “Mhm, Butler, make sure to send some extra nourishment to Zavier’s place later. Remind Marissa to take good care of Skyler and ensure she gets the proper nourishment.”
