Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1718

Skyler couldn't quite grasp the full extent of the situation, so she wisely chose to hold her tongue.

Hudson continued, "You've seen how things have been these past few days. Everyone seems to have it out for Zavier."

Sensitive topics were a minefield, and Skyler dared not tread any further. She opted to listen silently as Hudson spoke.

The old man chuckled, "I'm not dead yet, but there are plenty who wish I were, eager to carve up my estate. Sometimes, I envy those average families, with loving fathers and dutiful children."

Skyler envied them too, but fate had dealt her a different hand, placing her in the family she was born into.

Hudson looked at her and asked, "Child, you understand what I'm talking about, right?"d2

Skyler nodded, "Grandpa, Zavier isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be."

Hudson laughed, "Look at you, already defending your fiancé. And he won't even let you live with him, yet you speak on his behalf."

Skyler clarified, "Grandpa, I'm not defending him. I'm just telling you what I've seen. And it's not that he won't let me live with him. I chose to stay at the dorms."

Hudson sighed, "I know what my grandchildren are like."

Skyler wasn't sure if Hudson truly knew, but she wanted to believe him when he said so.

The conversation took a sudden turn when Hudson asked, "Do you know why I chose you to be Zavier's fiancée?"

Skyler, ever so straightforward, blurted out, "Isn't it because of the Blue family?"

"Indeed, it's because of the Blue family," Hudson confirmed. "Your family isn't powerful enough to be a pillar for Zavier."
