Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1741

Chapter 1741

Bernard, sensing the awkward tension, stepped forward with a welcoming grin. “Zavier, this is your first time visiting our humble abode, and we’re all absolutely thrilled to have you. We’ve gone all out and prepared a welcome feast in your honor. Please, come in and make yourself at home.”

The Blue clan was treating Zavier with the pomp and circumstance befitting a

distinguished guest from afar, regardless of whether Zavier appreciated such fanfare or

not.

Today, Skyler, who had always been neglected and disregarded by them, also was treated with smiles and warmth, all thanks to Zavier.

But Skyler wasn’t buying any of it. She couldn’t care less for their sudden change of heart. Zavier, playing along, provided her with the perfect excuse to spend some quality time with Iris.

Once alone, Iris threw herself into Skyler’s arms and clung to her tightly, sobbing, “Skyler.”

Tears welled up in Skyler’s eyes as she comforted Iris, “Iris, don’t be scared. I am here for you now.”

Iris rubbed her face against Skyler over and over, seeking the maternal affection she’d never received. To her, Skyler was as vital as a mother. “I was so afraid you didn’t want me anymore, and I was so scared.”e2

Skyler softly stroked Iris’ hair, trying to soothe her fears. “Iris, you’re the most important person in my life. How could I ever leave you?”

She had repeated these words countless times on the phone and through WhatsApp messages, but living in fear every day, Iris found it hard to trust any promises. After all, Skyler had once told her they would never be separated, yet she ended up being sent away to the distant Capital.

Iris looked up, wiping away her tears, “Does… does my brother-in-law treat you well?”

The word ‘brother-in-law’ made Skyler blush slightly, “We’re not married yet, Iris. Why are you calling him that already?”

Iris retorted with the logic of a child, “Sooner or later, I’ll have to call him that.”

Skyler pinched Iris’ cheek playfully. “You’re such a little thinker. From now on, you call him Mr. Zavier, not brother-in-law.”

“Why not call me brother-in-law? I think it sounds quite nice.” Zavier’s voice came from behind them. He had managed to slip away from the others in the family.

Skyler was taken aback. “Weren’t you dealing with my family? How did you end up here?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Zavier chuckled, “Gettin rid of them was a piece of cake.”

Recognizing Zavier’s exceptional ability to handle any situation, and fully aware that the Riveras were no match for him, let alone the Blues, Skyler wisely chose not to pursue the issue any further.

Zavier’s gaze fell upon the young Iris, a ten-year-old girl with an undeveloped innocence, her features not yet resembling Skyler’s. “Were you and your sister born to the same parents?”

“Of course,” Skyler replied without hesitation.

Zavier’s curiosity piqued, “It’s just that you two don’t seem to look much alike.”

“Who says we don’t look alike?” Skyler was quick to defend, pulling out her phone and scrolling through her cloud album to find a picture from when she was about ten, “Take a look at this.”

Zavier leaned in closer, “Is this a photo of Iris?”

“That’s me,” Skyler clarified. “It’s from when I was around Iris’ age.”

The girl in the photo was the spitting image of Iris as she was now-indistinguishable from one another.

Zavier scrutinized the photo for a moment longer, “You two really look alike.”
