Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1744

Skyler had dropped a few grand on a swanky hotel room, and Zavier could only watch as Skyler was whisked away by her sister, feeling a pang of loss in his chest.

Back in his own room, he pinged his buddies in their group chat, [What are you guys up to?] He sent the message, but no one seemed to care.

Zavier: [Lucas is taken, Steven's got his eye on a girl. I get why those love-struck fools aren't replying. But Marc, what's your excuse? You ain't got a lady love, why the cold shoulder?]

After a while, Marcus finally shot back a message, [Was just catching up with my grandma.]

Zavier: [How's her health?]

Marcus: [Gran's tough as nails.]d2

Zavier: [She's only got you for a grandson. She not bugging you to bring home a bride?]

Marcus: [My gran ain't as bored as your granddad.]

Zavier: [That's a way to put it. You're young now, so she's not pressing you. Give it a couple of years, then we'll see if she starts nudging you.]

Marcus: [Don't sweat it for me. You sort out your own stuff first.]

Zavier: [Already did.]

Marcus: [Really?]

Zavier: [I've decided to go with the family's wishes. When Skyler is of age or after she graduates, we'll make it official.]

At that, Steven and Lucas, who'd been playing dead, suddenly sprang to life.

Steven: [If you're into Skyler, just say it, man. What's with the family wishes excuse?]

Lucas: [Never thought I'd see the day Zavier falls so hard. The age-old tale, even heroes can't fend off Cupid's arrow.]
