Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chatper 1625

Chapter 1625

After about thirty minutes of weaving through suburbia, the driver maneuvered the car into an upscale

neighborhood, twisting and turning until he pulled up in front of a lavish estate. He got out first, then hurried to

open the door for Skyler. “Miss Skyler, we’ve arrived.”

Skyler stepped out of the car, retrieved her luggage and violin from the trunk, and scanned her surroundings.

“Does Zavier really live here all by himself?”

The driver nodded. “Yes, ma’am. Mr. Zavier prefers solitude; he doesn’t take kindly to disturbances. There’s no

chauffeur on the premises, just Marissa to look after his needs.”

Skyler was relieved to hear that she wouldn’t be the only one living with Zavier. The thought of cohabitating with

her betrothed-a man she didn’t love-promised nothing but awkwardness.

The driver quickly pressed the doorbell, and in no time, a woman in her forties emerged. “Nico, did Madam send

you with something for Mr. Zavier?”

The driver stepped aside, gesturing towards Skyler. “I’ve brought Miss Skyler. She is the fiancée Mr. Hudson has

chosen for Mr. Zavier. She’ll be staying here from now on.”

Marissa swung the door open wider. “Madam mentioned it over the phone. Miss Skyler, please, come in.”e2

Skyler stepped forward with polite gratitude. “Thank you, Marissa. I appreciate it.”

“Not at all! It’s no trouble! Usually it’s just Mr. Zavier and me here-it’ll be nice to have a bit more life around the

house. I’ve been hoping for some company.” Marissa scrutinized Skyler closely. The girl was beautiful, certainly a

match for Mr. Zavier in looks.

However, Marissa could tell that Mr. Zavier wasn’t thrilled about the arrangement. He had called over a bunch of

his rowdy friends to play games as soon as he got back today. Normally, they’d stick to the game room and not

bother anyone else. But today, he had deliberately moved the gaming setup to the living room, creating quite a

ruckus, quite clearly a show for Skyler.

Skyler just smiled and said nothing more.

“Nico, would you like to come in for a cup of coffee before you head back?” Marissa offered.

“I need to get back to pick up Madam, so I’ll pass on the coffee. Miss Skyler is in your hands now. I’ll be off,” The

driver declined.

“Take care then,” Marissa said as she saw him off.

Then, she led Skyler toward the main house.

The Rivera family was indeed rich. Zavier’s mansion waa giant. Approaching the main building, the walk seemed to

stretch on and on.

“As you can see, we have guests today, so Mr. Zavier might not be available to greet you. I’ll show you to your room

where you can rest. Don’t mind him too much,” Marissa said as they walked.

The thought of Zavier being preoccupied suited Skyler just fine. “That’s alright.”

As they neared the house, the din of voices spilled out. “Zavier, man, what’s up with you today? You’ve lost every

game!”

Zavier’s voice cut through the noise. “I’m letting you win.”

Someone teased, “Heard your old man set you up with a fiancée. What’s she like? Is she up to the mighty your

standards?” Zavier flicked his cigarette to the floor and crushed it underfoot with a twist of his boot. “Drop it, man.

It’s killing my vibe.”

Another voice chimed in, “What, is she that ugly? Can’t get you excited?”

Zavier swung his hand in a mock slap to the guy’s head. “You think I’m that shallow? I don’t care for the girl. She

could be a goddess for all I care, and I’d still want nothing to do with her.”
