Chapter 842 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Seeing Zavier in the room, Skyler stammered with a start, “You-you’re here too?” Zavier glanced at her and walked further inside, “Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?” Skyler was at a loss for words. She had never thought that way. Nor did she dare to. The butler interjected, “Mr. Zavier, it was Hudson who asked Miss Skyler to come over.” Zavier paid no mind to the butler and said to Skyler, “Close the door behind you.” “Goodnight!” After bidding the old butler farewell, Skyler finally shut the door. Zavier turned to look at her, “So it was the old man who sent you?”e2 Skyler didn’t want to lie, “I came to ask Grandpa for help because I’m scared that Desiree will pull another dirty trick on me.”
• Zavier cracked a smile and his gaze softened somewhat with appreciation, “You might not be the strongest, but at least you’re not dumb. You know when to seek allies.” Skyler simply stated, “I just want to live a peaceful life.” That had always been her goal, but some people didn’t seem to want that for her. And if that was the case, she couldn’t be blamed for fighting back. Zavier grabbed a blanket and settled on the couch, leaving the only bed in the master bedroom for Skyler. Without asking questions, Skyler finished her nighttime routine and climbed into bed. The lights went off, and the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. After a while, just as Skyler was drifting off, she heard Zavier’s deep voice, “Skyler?”
• “Hmm?” she murmured. Zavier continued, “I refuse the marriage arranged by Hudson not because I have someone I like, but because I hate them dictating my life.” He wasn’t really explaining himself to Skyler, but he wanted someone in his corner to understand what he abhorred. It would make for a better partnership down the line. Skyler responded with a sense of shared sentiment, “Who doesn’t?” The difference was, Zavier had the power to resist, and she didn’t. Zavier then mentioned, “I received some information tonight.” Skyler wasn’t interested in what information he might have, but since he brought it up, it would be rude not to inquire, “What kind of information?” Zavier rolled over, facing her direction even though he couldn’t see her from the sofa, “I hear the Blue family’s preference for sons over daughters is pretty extreme.” He had people look into Skyler’s standing within the Blue family.
