Chapter 1736
Skyler’s cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson under his teasing gaze.
Kalene chuckled softly, “Skyler, Zavier’s right. When you’re at home, you should feel free to eat whatever you like.
Make yourself comfortable.”
Skyler murmured an acknowledgement, “Okay.”
Kalene glanced at Zavier, and after a silent exchange of looks between mother and son, she added, “I’ll have the
housekeeper tidy up the guest rooms. Why don’t you both stay over tonight and keep me company?”
“Sure,” Zavier agreed with a nod.c2

how to politely decline Kalene’s kind offer.
As she hesitated, Zavier stepped in, “Mom, I’ve got some things to take care of tonight. After dinner, I can drop
Skyler off at school on my way.”
“What do you have planned?” Kalene asked with a trace of suspicion. Just moments ago, he was insisting on having
Skyler stay the night. Why the sudden change? What game was this boy playing?
“Life’s big decisions, Zavier said cryptically.
Kalene shook her head with a wry smile. “You’re never serious, are you?”
After dinner, without wasting a moment, Zavier announced he would take Skyler back to school. But no sooner had
they left the neighbourhood, he asked, “So, you really don’t want to hang out with us?”
Skyler was taken aback and quickly clarified, “It’s not that I don’t want to. I just have other commitments.”
“What kind of commitments?” Zavier pressed.
Skyler simply replied, “Personal matters.”
Zavier’s mood clearly soured as he dropped the subject.
“Thanks for bailing me out earlier,” Skyler added after a moment.
“Hmph.” was all Zavier offered in return. So, she did realize he had helped her out of a tight spot.
They arrived at the school soon after, and as Skyler got out of the car, Zavier sped off with a rev of the engine.
With a sigh, Skyler headed back to her dorm to pack a few essentials before hailing a cab to the airport. The dinner
had set her
back a little, but she reached the airport just in time, boarding her flight without any issues.

After a two-hour flight, she arrived at Southern Port, and it was already past two in the morning.
The winter in Southern Port might not have been as cold as in the Capital, but the damp chill seemed to seep into
her bones. Instinctively, she wrapped her down jacket tighter around her.
The next thing she knew, a large hand had taken hold of her small suitcase’s handle. Startled, Skyler was about to
cry out for help when she realized the hand belonged to none other than Zavier. “You-how did you get here?”
Ignoring her question, Zavier countered, “Missing your sister?”
Skyler nodded, “Yes, but-”
“Are you sure you can see her all by yourself without being noticed?” Zavier interjected.
“We had arranged a time. On Christmas Eve, the Blue family won’t notice whether she’s there or not.”
