Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1670

Chapter 1670 

As she swiftly hopped out of the car, Zavier added, “This marriage of ours is bound to be called off sooner or later, so try not to mention it to anyone.” 

Skyler nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone at the university find out about us.” 

Zavier paused, then continued, “Even though we’re going to annul it, you better not start dating anyone else before then. The Rivera family is all about keeping up appearances. I might let it slide, but the Riveras definitely won’t let you off easy.” 

Skyler replied, “Thanks for the heads-up.” 

After a moment’s thought, Zavier went on, “Remember what I taught you yesterday. If I ever see someone push you around again and you don’t stand up for yourself, don’t expect me to step in next time.” 

Skyler affirmed, “Got it.” 

Zavier’s gaze drifted away as he floored the accelerator, and the car shot off like an arrow, leaving Skyler in the dust.e2 

Skyler collected her thoughts and started walking when she heard someone calling her name from behind, “Skyler?” 

She turned to see her roommate Vivian, “Hey Vivian, good morning.” 

Since Vivian seldom stayed in the dorm, Skyler didn’t know her as well as the other roommates, which made interactions a bit awkward. But Vivian was the outgoing type. She enthusiastically linked her arm with Skyler’s, “Aren’t you a dorm dweller? How come I bump into you so early outside the campus?” 

Skyler replied, “I stayed over at a relative’s place last night.” 

“Vivian, didn’t you say you had no relatives or connections in the Capital when the school started? How come all of a sudden you have a relative?” 

Skyler was flabbergasted. At the start of the semester, she’d said she had no family in the Capital because Zavier had essentially kicked her out and was reluctant to acknowledge her as his fiancée. 

Skyler’s silence led Vivian to jump to conclusions, “Skyler, you couldn’t possibly be… you know…” 

Skyler asked calmly, “Couldn’t possibly be what? Just say what you mean, no need to get worked up.” 

Vivian looked around to make sure no one was listening and whispered, “You haven’t been kept by someone, have you?” 

The insinuation was offensive, not only to Skyler’s integrity but also to her dignity. Even the usually composed Skyler couldn’t tolerate such slander, “Vivian, we are roommates. Why do you slander me like this?” 

Vivian was quick to clarify, “I hope I’m wrong. I’ve heard of rich folks preying on college students, and I just didn’t want you to get duped.” 

Seeing that Vivian wasn’t being malicious, Skyler felt a twinge of guilt, “I know what I’m doing, and I’m not that kind of person.” 

Vivian nodded, “I know you’re not. You work part-time to make ends meet. I’m just worried about you. Take care of yourself.” 

Skyler thanked her, and they arrived at the university just in time for class. The entrance was bustling with students. To Skyler’s surprise, Zavier, who had driven off some time ago, was still at the gates. He stood there, hands in his pockets, leaning against a tree, surrounded by his usual entourage.
