Chapter 871 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Skyler had dropped a few grand on a swanky hotel room, and Zavier could only watch as Skyler was whisked away by her sister, feeling a pang of loss in his chest. Back in his own room, he pinged his buddies in their group chat, [What are you guys up to? He sent the message, but no one seemed to care. Zavier: Lucas is taken; Steven’s got his eye on a girl. I get why those love-struck fools aren’t replying. But, Marc, what’s your excuse? You ain’t got a lady, love; why the cold shoulder? After a while, Marcus finally shot back a message: "I was just catching up with my grandma. Zavier: [How’s her health?] Marcus: [Gran’s tough as nails.] Zavier: [She’s only got you for a grandson.]. [She not bugging you to bring home a bride.] e2 Marcus: [My gran ain’t as bored as your granddad.] Zavier: [That’s a way to put it.]. You’re young now, so she’s not pressing you.
• Give it a couple of years, and then we’ll see if she starts nudging you. Marcus: Don't sweat it for me. [You sort out your own stuff first.] Zavier: [Already did.] Marcus: [Really?] Zavier: I've decided to go with the family’s wishes. [When Skyler is of age or after she graduates, we’ll make it official.] At that, Steven and Lucas, who’d been playing dead, suddenly sprang to life. Steven: [If you’re into Skyler, just say it, man.]. [What's'sith the family wishes excuse?] Lucas: I never thought I’d see the day Zavier fell so hard. [In the age-old tale, even heroes can’t fend off Cupid’s arrow.] Zavier: I thought you guys were dead. [Back from the grave?] Steven: [My brother’s getting married.] [I'd'dlaw my way out of a coffin for that.] Lucas: Did you even ask Skyler?
• [Is she down with this plan to marry you?] Zavier: [She’ll be on board for sure.] Steven: [Sure? [You're'reat certain she’ll say yes?] Lucas: [Spill it, Zavier.]. [What's'sot you so hooked on her?] Zavier was stumped. He’d never pondered that question. Maybe it was Skyler’s stubborn streak that got to him. Maybe he felt for her and wanted to be her rock. Or perhaps it was just that she fit his idea of beauty. He didn’t want to delve too deep. All he knew was that he wanted to marry Skyler and be with her for life. Marcus: If you’ve made up your mind, then treat her right. [Don'tn'tve any other intentions with other women.] Steven: [Marc, quit playing advisor when you’re single as a prince.] Lucas: Let him speak. Marc’s making sense.
