Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1685

Chapter 1685 

Back in her dorm room, Skyler couldn’t wait to wash off the day’s grime. She showered quickly, laundering her clothes in the process. Lying on her bed afterward, her mind buzzed with the evening’s events. Desiree was a piece of work, downright terrifying. Tonight’s lackeys hadn’t succeeded, but Skyler knew that witch wouldn’t hesitate to strike again. 

Something had to be done. If not, her job and studies would suffer, and that was non-negotiable. 

Lost in thought, she barely noticed when Emma and Amanda returned, trailed by Vivian, who rarely stayed in the dorm. 

Skyler sat up, urgency coloring her tone. “Vivian, you wouldn’t happen to have Desiree’s contact, would you?” 

Vivian nodded and cautiously asked. “Yeah, why?” 

“I need it,” Skyler said plainly.e2 

Hesitation flickered across Vivian’s face. Sharing a friend’s contact without permission felt wrong. “Can I check with Desiree first?” “Just tell her that I have something to talk to her,” Skyler said. 

Vivian immediately sent a message, but it took Desiree quite a while to respond after the message was sent.”Vivian, darling, everyone at school wants my number, but I’m selective with my friendships.” 

A hint of pride welled up in Vivian. She felt she was special to Desiree. “Skyler, she’s not comfortable with it.” 

Skyler nodded, masking her disappointment. “Got it.” 

Emma, puzzled, asked, “Sky, why the sudden need for Desiree’s digits?” 

“I’ve got something to take care of,” Skyler deflected, grabbing her jacket. 

“More stuff?” Emma frowned. “Hey, slow down. At least eat the BBQ we packed for you before you dash off.” 

“Thanks, guys, but I’m not hungry. I’ll treat you guys once this mess is sorted.” Skyler’s voice trailed off as she hurried out the door. Emma glanced at the packed barbecue chicken wings and grilled fish. “Let’s just eat. It’d be a shame to waste it.” 

Amanda looked worried. “Skyler seemed off. Think she’s in trouble?” 

“Sky looks delicate, but she’s tough as nails. She’ll tell us when she’s ready,” Emma said. 

Amanda said, “I hope she’s okay.” 

“Skyler is so good, she definitely will be fine,” Emma said. After that, she glanced at Vivian, about to say something, but after some thought, she chose to remain silent.
