Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1669

Skyler, “If it's inconvenient for you, forget about it."

Zavier didn't respond to her and simply got into his car.

Skyler just stood there, frozen, not daring to move an inch. She hadn't even mustered the courage to ask for a ride to school. She was merely hoping for a lift out of the suburban maze to catch the bus or subway more easily.

Taxis in the Capital were a luxury she seldom afforded; public transport and walking were her usual modes of transport. Every penny saved was a penny earned, after all.

But it seemed even a short trip to the edge of the neighborhood was too much to ask of him. No matter. She'd just have to hustle a bit faster. Missing one lecture probably wouldn't set her back too much.

"Skyler, what are you still standing there for?" Zavier's voice suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts.d2

Was he actually offering her a ride? A rush of gratitude flooded her as she quickly yanked open the passenger door and hopped into his sports car. It was a two-seater, so the passenger seat was her only option.

Zavier smoothly pulled out of the driveway as Skyler whipped out her phone to check the map. They just needed to head right out of the neighborhood for about a kilometer to find a subway station. On foot, that would take her about ten minutes, but with a press of Zavier's foot on the pedal, they'd be there in a flash. "Zavier, you can just pull over here. This is perfect, thanks."

He didn't even glance her way, just floored it past the subway entrance by several hundred meters.

Skyler got the message. "Thank you, really."

"For what?" Zavier grunted.

"For giving me a lift. Otherwise, I'd be on that subway going round in circles for an extra hour."

"It's on the way, not like I went out of my way for you."

"And for standing up for me."
