Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1708

Skyler remained silent, her luck never seemed this good before. It must be the guys going easy on her.

Seeing how well Skyler was doing, Rosie was itching to get in on the action. “Lucas, I want in on the next round,” she declared. Lucas chuckled, “Sure thing.”

“You guys planning on bankrupting me and Marc? Before you let your wives step in, Marc and I were cleaning up,” Steven joked, glancing at Marcus. “I always thought Marc was a straight shooter, no favors, but it seems he’s got a soft spot. Too bad he’s soft for his buddy’s girl.”

Marcus looked up, his cool gaze flashing behind his silver-framed glasses at Steven, “What’s it gonna take to shut you up?” Steven grinned, unabashed, “A kiss from

my

sweetheart.”

His words came so naturally that both Skyler and Rosie blushed.e2

Lucas reached out, tucking a stray lock of hair behind Rosie’s ear, “Just play your cards. Ignore him.”

Zavier interjected, “Steven, mind the occasion.”

Steven shrugged, “Did I say anything out of line?”

Lucas sighed, “Do us all a favor. Zip it.”

Rosie turned to Lucas, “Which card should I play?”

Lucas took Rosie’s hand, guiding her to draw a card and play it.

Watching their affectionate display, Steven suddenly lost his interest in the game. “I’m out.”

“Just because you lost a few hands you’re quitting? Don’t be such a sore loser,” Lucas teased.

Steven retorted, “You think I care about losing? I can’t stand to see you two flaunting your love like this.”

Lucas retorted, “Next time bring your girlfriend, and we can all team up against Marc.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Marcus stood up, “I need to head back to Riverton anyway.”

Zavier was surprised, “Back to Riverton so soon after arriving in the Capital?”

Marcus simply nodded.

“And what about you, Steven?” Zavier asked.

Steven grabbed his jacket, “That girl I’m into is pretty popular. I can’t risk someone else moving in first, so I need to dash back to Harbor City and weed out the competition.”

Lucas smirked, “Aren’t you the ambitious one.”

Steven shot back, “I learned from the best.”

Zavier concluded, “If you two are leaving, then go ahead. We’ll catch up another time.”

Marcus nodded, “See you.”

Steven followed, “Enjoy the rest of your evening, lovebirds.”

Turning to Lucas, Zavier asked, “What about you?”

Lucas looked at Rosie, “What do you think?”

Rosie was eager, “I still want to hang out with Skyler.”

Zavier turned to Skyler, “Are you free tonight?”

Skyler shook her head, “No plans.”

“Then let’s grab dinner?” Zavier proposed.

Rosie jumped in before Skyler could respond, “Yes, let’s all go eat! It’s definitely more fun than playing cards.”

Unaffected by the departure of the others, Zavier, with Skyler and Lucas with Rosie, set out for their next gathering.

Lucas asked Rosie, “What are you in the mood for

Rosie turned to Skyler, “What about you? What do you feel like eating?”

Skyler replied, “I’m easy, anything’s fine.”

Rosie suggested, “There’s a great vegetarian place nearby, how about that?”

Skyler nodded, “Sure, that works for me.”

Zavier, who always encouraged Skyler to speak her mind, chimed in, “If you’ve got a craving, just say it. Don’t always go along with everyone else.”

Skyler was used to accommodating others. For the past eighteen years, no one had really given her a choice.
