Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1699

Chapter 1699 

Carter handed an A4 sheet of paper to Skyler with a casual flick of his wrist. “Take a look at this.” 

Skyler took the sheet, and then Carter’s voice followed, “A TV series has approached me to be the music director. Here are a few lyrics. Can you compose music for them?” 

Glancing down, Skyler saw just a few lines without any specified scene, leaving her unsure of the desired emotion. “Which show is it?” 

Carter replied, “It’s still in post-production. Haven’t seen the footage myself. But it’s adapted from a novel, if you’ve got the time you might wanna check out the original book.” 

Skyler nodded, “Sure thing.” 

Stepping out of Carter’s music studio, she looked up at the sky. Winter had its grip on the Capital, the biting wind slicing across her face like a knife. The weather forecast promised heavy snow tonight, and it seemed to be closing in quickly. 

Picking up her pace toward the subway station, Skyler aimed to catch a train back to campus. But barely a few steps out, she heard her roommate Amanda calling out, “Skyler, what are you doing here?”e2 

She turned and saw Amanda waving. “Came for a gig. What about you?” 

Amanda gestured to the middle-aged couple by her side. “This is my mom and dad. They thought the Capital’s too cold and worried I might freeze, so they came to see me. Mom, Dad, this is my roommate Skyler, the one I’m always telling you about.” Skyler greeted them, “Hi.” 

The couple, Dominic and Tracey, smiled warmly. “Hey there, Skyler. Our Amanda never stops talking about how good you’ve been to her. Thanks for looking after her.” 

Skyler shrugged off their thanks. “We’re all here to help each other. Don’t mention it.” 

Amanda hooked her arm around Skyler’s. “You got plans this afternoon?” 

Skyler shook her head. “Nope.” 

“Perfect, then you’ll join us for dinner. Can’t pass up a family feast.” 

Skyler hesitated, “You guys should spend some quality time together. I don’t want to intrude.” 

“Nonsense,” Amanda insisted. “They’re here for a whole week. And they’ve asked to treat you and Emma to dinner. I’ve already told Emma, so you can’t bail on us.” 

Before Skyler could protest further, Tracey chimed in, “Skyler, Amanda was our little girl, never left our side before heading to the Capital for college. She was all alone, in a strange place, and without you and your friends, she’d probably be homesick all the time. We just want to show our gratitude with a nice meal, so please, don’t say no.” 

Given Tracey’s heartfelt words, Skyler found it impossible to refuse. 

To make it convenient for their return to campus, Amanda’s family chose a well-known restaurant nearby.
