Chapter 1666
Skyler and Zavier had both tossed and turned through the night. Thankfully, their youthful vigor meant they didn’t look much worse for wear come morning.
Zavier was quick to freshen up and head out. Skyler had to wait until he was done with the bathroom, so she left a bit later.
Little did she expect to bump into Nora right outside her door. It seemed Nora had been lying in wait, “Skyler, darling.”
Nora scrutinized her, taking in Skyler’s flushed cheeks that seemed to bloom like roses due to afterglow, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Skyler nodded, “Thanks for asking. I slept like a log.”
Nora’s eyes narrowed, “Walk for me, let’s see.”
Bewildered by the request, Skyler complied. She had only taken a few steps when Nora’s voice, sharp as a knife, sliced through the air, “Did Zavier touch you last night?”e2
Skyler’s eyes widened in shock, her head shaking frantically, “Nora, we’re not even married yet, he wouldn’t do that.”
Nora’s temper flared, “And why haven’t you taken the initiative? You must know what you’re here for.”
Skyler stammered, “I…”
Nora cut her off, “Skyler, don’t tell me you don’t know why the Blue family sent you to the Riveras? They didn’t send you to be the little princess here. You’re here to give Zavier his first-born son.”
Skyler was silent.
“Didn’t your mother have ‘the talk’ with you before sending you over?” Nora prodded.
Skyler mumbled, “Aunt Nora, I…”
She had been taught, yes. But how could she possibly broach such an embarrassing subject? After all, she was barely eighteen.
“So you were taught, but didn’t learn a thing?” Nora pressed.
Skyler remained silent.
Nora demanded, “Cat got your tongue?”
Skyler apologized, “I’m sorry.”
Nora scoffed, “You’re so clueless, and you can’t do anything right. After your classes today, I’m going to pick you up and give you a proper lesson. If you don’t get it this time, and if there’s no child from Zavier within six months, you’re out.”
Skyler opened her mouth to retort but thought better of it.
“Aunt Nora, if I don’t want to have a child, who can force me?” Suddenly, Zavier’s voice came from behind them.
Both Skyler and Nora shivered at the sound.
