Chapter 816 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Just when Skyler thought the car was about to send her flying, her eyes squeezed shut in terror, and the piercing screech of brakes nearly ruptured her eardrums. With trembling fingers, she slowly opened her eyes to find the yellow sports car halted beside her. And in the driver’s seat was none other than Zavier. Hadn’t he left already? Why was he still here? He turned his head, peering at her through his sunglasses. “Do I need to formally invite you before you get in?” The shades obscured his eyes, but his voice left no doubt-he was ticked off. Skyler didn’t pause to think. She yanked open the door and climbed in.
• No sooner had she snapped her seatbelt into place than Zavier floored the accelerator, and the car shot off like an arrow released from its bow. If not for the seatbelt, Skyler felt she would have been hurled out. The engine’s roar sliced through the silence as Zavier raced along, swerving left and right, churning Skyler’s stomach into a whirlpool of nausea. Before long, they entered the gated community where Zavier’s villa was nestled.e2 He drove into the driveway and slammed on the brakes with such force that Skyler lunged forward, only to be snapped back by her seatbelt. A red mark where the strap had bitten into her shoulder stung painfully.
• Zavier flung the car door open and strode toward the house without a backward glance. Skyler sat in the car for a while, trying to collect herself before stepping out and following him with leaden legs. But as she turned the corner, Zavier’s towering figure blocked her path like a behemoth. Malice radiated from him. Skyler eyed him warily. “Is there, um, something else?” Zavier’s brows arched slightly. “What do you think?” Skyler had a hunch about why he was angry. “Before I went, I didn’t know it was your friend’s house. Had I known, I would have never gone. But you can relax, I didn’t reveal our… situation, and I didn’t accept the job.” Zavier said pointedly, “You even realize what you did wrong, huh?”
