Chapter 853 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Even with a choice, Skyler knew she wasn’t really calling the shots, “I can eat anything. I’m not a picky eater.” Zavier’s response was a silent stare if she could bring a bit of her work demeanor into her personal life, she wouldn’t be bullied so much, a punching doll for everyone. Rosie grabbed Skyler’s hand, “Let’s get out of here.” “Okay,” Skyler agreed. Trailing behind them, Lucas turned to Zavier, “What’s your deal with this surprise fiancée of yours, Zavier?” Watching Skyler’s delicate figure ahead, Zavier mused, “She just seems so fragile, like a gentle breeze could knock her over. I feel like taking care of her.” Lucas wasn’t buying it, “Come on, Zavier. We’ve known each other for years, and since when have you had the heart of a saint?”
• “Well, now you know,” Zavier quipped. “No real feelings for the girl?” Lucas pressed. “None,” Zavier affirmed. Lucas patted him on the shoulder, “If you’re not planning to marry her, don’t get her hopes up. Leading her on and then bailing out would be the real harm.” Zavier replied, “With the way she doesn’t seem to care about me, do you really think I can hurt her?” “So it’s because she’s not into you that you don’t want to like her?” Lucas probed. Zavier chuckled, “You’re reading too much into it.” “It’s fine for me to overthink, but don’t let the girl do the same,” Lucas warned.
• “I know my limits,” Zavier said. “The Blue family is really something, aren’t they? Using their own flesh and blood as a bargaining chip,” Lucas scorned. Lighting up a cigarette, Zavier took a drag, “Aren’t we all pawns in our family’s games?” “Not Rosie and me,” Lucas countered. “You and Rosie have that childhood betrothal, and you’re saying you’re not?” Zavier challenged. “As kids, our parents joked about it, sure. But my feelings for Rosie, my desire to marry her, they’re real. I want to protect her for life,” Lucas declared.
