Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1639

Chapter 1639 

The sound of his approach was as familiar at Capital College as the aroma of fresh-baked apple pie at the county fair. 

Everyone turned around, unsurprised, to find none other than Garrett Horton standing behind them, one of the four notorious rich boys that ruled the social scene. 

“Ah, Garrett,” they chimed. “What brings you to school so early?” 

Garrett flashed his trademark grin. “If you lot can show up, why can’t I?” 

The crowd fell silent. No comeback for that. 

It was well-known that the privileged few, like Garrett, typically made their grand entrance a few days after the start of term, and always as a pack, never solo. Which is why everyone was curious to see him strolling in alone, and so early in the day. 

Garrett scanned the group. “None of you guys snagged a girlfriend yet?”e2 

A collective embarrassment hung in the air. They wouldn’t be loitering at the school gates if they had girlfriends. 

Garrett chuckled before continuing, “Do you even know who that girl is, or are you just shooting your shot in the dark?” 

One of them quipped, “A fair maiden for a gallant knight.” 

Another added, “Right? Right? We volunteer to welcome the newbies, but let’s be honest, we’ve got our motives.” 

One more piped up, “Most girls here are taken. When a fresh face shows up, and a knockout at that, who wouldn’t want to get a little closer?” 

Garrett tapped the guy’s forehead. “After seeing a stud like me, she won’t give you jokers a second glance.” 

The crowd buzzed with gossip. “Garrett, don’t tell me that stunner is your girl?” 

Their speculation seemed to please Garrett. “Not yet, but give it time. Keep your eyes peeled, fellas, and don’t mess with what’s mine.” 

Their teasing continued. “So, she’s one of Garrett’s conquests. No wonder we don’t stand a chance.” 

“Keep that in mind,” said Garrett, waving them off as he made a beeline for someone in the distance. 

They watched Garrett’s retreating figure, shaking their heads in unison. “Man, such a sweet girl about to get caught up with the Horton playboy.” 

Someone else commented, “Garrett changes girlfriends faster than he changes shirts. How does he do it?” 

The reply was swift, “Money, my friend. Money opens all doors. He’d be out of luck without it, even if he looked like a Hollywood heartthrob.” 

“Lucky for him, he was born a Horton. Even if he never lifts a finger, he’s set for life.” 

“Speaking of wealth, the Riveras outdo the Hortons. Girls are all over Zavier. Even our homecoming queen swore she’d only marry him…” 

“Her marrying Zavier depends on if he’s even interested.” 

“I think Zavier might be a bit off. He does not even flinch when the homecoming queen comes onto him.” 

“Right? Who’d choose a cold game console over a warm girlfriend?”
