Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1661

Chapter 1661 

Skyler: “So what are you asking?” 

Zavier: “Didn’t the Blue family teach you to fight back when bullied? Haven’t they told you that if you’re kind, you’ll be taken advantage of?” 

Skyler bit her lip, her blue eyes welling with unshed tears, as she shook her head, “No, they didn’t.” 

All her life, she’d been taught to bite her tongue and take it on the chin. If she ever fought back, she was met with solitary confinement in the attic and the 

strap. 

Skyler vividly remembered a time when she was little, and her uncle’s kid, Tommy, had broken her favorite pencil case. 

She was so mad that she pushed him. She wasn’t strong enough to even make Tommy, who was older, flinch, but he dramatically plopped himself on the ground and started wailing, “She hit me!” 

Tommy’s cries quickly drew the attention of the adults. His mother swept him up in her arms, “Oh my baby, who hurt you?”e2 

Triumphantly, he pointed at Skyler, “Her!” 

Upon hearing this, Tommy’s father gave Skyler a kick so fierce it sent her flying, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” 

She was too small to withstand the blow and crashed to the ground hard. She tried to get up but couldn’t move, looking up at her parents with difficulty, “Dad, Mom, he broke my pencil case.” 

Her uncle was livid, “So you hit him because he broke your damn pencil case? Bernard, is this what you teach? Can’t have a son of your own, so you set your sights on mine?” 

With that accusation, the matter blew up. 

Knowing he couldn’t compete with his brother’s side of the family, Skyler’s father hoisted her up, “I’ll take her home and straighten her out.” 

But her uncle was relentless, “Is that all? Should we settle this ourselves, or should we take it to Father to decide?” 

Tommy kept up his moaning and groaning. 

Skyler’s grandfather, hearing that his grandson had been ‘assaulted’, rushed over. They called in doctor after doctor to examine Tommy, but no one checked on Skyler, the one who was truly hurt. 

After a parade of doctors confirmed Tommy was fine, just a bruised ego really, they still punished her. It wasn’t just a slap on the wrist. They made her kneel in the room all night long. 

She was just a little girl, not understanding why she was being punished when Tommy started it all by breaking her beloved pencil case. She later understood it was all because of her family favoring boys more than girls. 

Just because she was a girl, she had to endure such unfair treatment. 

The room didn’t turn on lights at night. After the candles were burned out, and it became so dark that one couldn’t even see their own hand in front of their face. The emptiness added a chilling sensation.
