Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1743

Skyler's heart skipped a beat before pounding wildly in her chest as Zavier's ambiguous words hung in the air. "Zavier, please don't say things that could be misunderstood."

Iris suddenly perked up, her big doe eyes widening as she gazed at Zavier. "You like my sister, don't you?"

Kids and their instincts. From the moment Iris had met Zavier, she knew there was something special about him because of the way he treated her sister.

Months had passed without seeing Skyler, and Iris noticed a stark change in her sister. Back in the day, her sister shared Iris' fear of their household; they'd barely breathe too loudly in front of their kin, often on the receiving end of venomous words or even a harsh slap.

But this time, her sister returned with a newfound courage, far from the trembling leaf she used to be around family. This version of her sister seemed even more beautiful and reassuring.

If possible, Iris really wished she could leave this place with her sister and never come back, never see these people again.d2

Before Zavier could reply, Skyler interjected, "Iris, be careful with their words."

But Iris had that mischievous sparkle that kids sometimes get, especially around a sister they adore, "Sis, I'm not making things up. Besides, I was asking my brother-in-law, and he hasn't answered yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Skyler turned to Zavier, "Zavier, she's just a kid. Don't take it to heart."

Zavier smiled at Iris, "It's only natural for people to like someone as amazing as your sister, isn't it?"

"So, you do like my sister?" Iris pressed on.

Zavier nodded. "Of course, I do." His answer was short and to the point. That was just the kind of guy he was.

Skyler nudged him discreetly, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the kid."

Zavier retorted, "Who's talking nonsense? I've never been more serious."
