Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1729

Chapter 1729 

Skyler and Zavier had a pact – they were in this together, working side by side to break off their engagement. However, when he heard that Skyler wanted to call it quits, he was so infuriated – so out of his mind with rage. That just wasn’t like him, not at all. 

He quickly regained his composure. “Look, I don’t know much about the ins and outs of the music biz,” he said, “You need to find someone who does, so you don’t get taken for a ride.” 

Skyler replied, “Mr. Carter, the one you introduced me to, knows his stuff. I just focus on writing the lyrics and composing the music. He handles all the rest – the production, the promotions, everything.” 

Zavier glanced at her and chuckled, “You little goof.” 

She muttered under her breath, “Why do you have to put me down like that?” 

“No one’s completely trustworthy when money’s on the line, Skyler. Sure, Carter’s in the music industry, and I sent you because I could see your talent. But I never expected you’d become such a hit, with every track you drop turning into gold,” Zavier 

his way 

said. 

“So, what’s your point?” Skyler prodded.e2 

He poked her forehead gently, “You. You spend all day thinking about work and making dough but have no clue how to really rake it in.” 

“I’m happy with what I’m making now. Sure, I’d like more, but it’s got to be within my capabilities. I’m all about taking it step by step, not biting off more than I can chew,” she said earnestly. 

Zavier rolled his eyes at her, “You’re doing better than the average Joe, but do you have any idea how much more Carter’s making off your hits?” 

“We split the profits fifty-fifty, after operating costs. If I pocket half a mil, he should be getting the same, minus his expenses,” Skyler reasoned. 

“Naive little dummie,” Zavier scoffed. 

Skyler, getting heated, retorted, “Insult me again, and I’m done talking.” 

As they arrived at their destination, Zavier smoothly parked the car. “As a friend, I suppose I should give you a bit more insight.” Her eyes lit up, “You consider me a friend?” 

“Is that a problem?” Zavier shot back. 

“No, it’s just that you’re actually a decent guy, Zavier. I’m glad we can be friends,” Skyler smiled. 

“Quit buttering me up,” he grumbled. 

“I mean it. You’re good people.” At least, he was nicer to her than her own family had ever been. 

Zavier wasn’t looking for praise, “I’m not the good guy, Skyler. I’m capable of some pretty dark deeds.” 

She understood him, though. Growing up in a family where danger lurked around every corner, sometimes you had to play the villain to protect yourself and those you care about. 

Their moment was interrupted by a teasing voice from outside the car. “What’s this? The betrothed couple playing at being besties and acting all innocent with me?” 

Skyler’s head whipped around to find Steven leaning against the car, with a playful smirk on his face.
