Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1703

Rosie, Lucas, I’m laying it down right now–if I don’t have any girlfriends to hang out with today and I’m stuck watching you guys play poker, don’t expect me to join you for a night out ever again.”

Lucas sighed, “Alright, alright…”

Steven craned his neck, peering into the house, clicking his tongue in mock disapproval. “Listen to this guy. Lucas is so whipped by his sweetheart. Marc my words, he’s gonna be totally henpecked once they’re married.”

Zavier gave Steven a lazy glance, “And you’re any better? You saw a girl once at school and you can’t stop thinking about her.” Steven turned to Marcus, “Marc, that’s just what happen when you fall for a girl.”

Marcus adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, staying silent.

Steven continued, “Man, talking to you about this is a waste of time. But I’m really curious, what kind of girl would catch our Marc’s eye?”e2

“Anyway, Marc wouldn’t be like you, obsessed with a girl after just one glance.” Zavier quipped.

“What’s wrong with love at first sight? It’s not hurting you, Zavier. It’s human nature to be drawn to beauty. Would Hudson have set you up with your fiancée if she looked like a toad? Would you even bring her around to meet us?” Steven challenged.

Skyler, who had been silently listening, felt caught in the crossfire. Why drag her into their banter?

“Leave her out of this,” Zavier cut in sharply.

“There he goes, playing coy but protective as ever. You’re totally going down Lucas’ path,” Steven tossed back before heading inside. “Miss Rosie, did Lucas fool you again?”

“Steven, don’t add fuel to the fire. Zavier, did you bring your fiancée?” Lucas asked.

“As if I had a choice when your little princess wants to meet her,” Zavier retorted.

Rosie looked up to see a young woman following behind Zavier, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. “Skyler?”

Lucas felt a pang of jealousy at her reaction. If only Rosie would look at him with such enthusiasm.

Zavier introduced, “Skyler, this is Lucas from Harbor City, and the lady with him is his fiancée, Ro-”

Before Zavier could finish, Rosie had already stepped forward, eagerly taking Skyler’s hand. “Skyler, hi! I’m Rosie. We’re going to be friends.”

“Rosie, it’s nice to meet you.” Skyler responded warmly.

Rosie quickly added, “I’m not with Lucas, and I’m certainly not his fiancée, so don’t listen to their nonsense.”

Lucas couldn’t stand to hear that, “Rosie!”

Rosie pouted, “It’s your fault for always teasing me. I just don’t want to marry you.”

Lucas’ face darkened, “Rosie, say that again!”

If it weren’t for the fact that they weren’t of legal age to marry, he would’ve dragged her off to get the marriage certificate already, to make her his wife and silence such talk.

Rosie knew better than to cross him when he was truly angry. She bit her lip, careful not to say anything more that might upset him, “Skyler, I got a gift for you. Come with me.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
