Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1683

Skyler took another big gulp of water and rinsed her mouth. She said, "Thanks for the concern. It was just stress puking. I'm fine now, no need for a hospital run."

She didn't get to finish her sentence before Zavier cut her off, "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you?"

"It's not that I don't want a ride, just I don’t need a trip to the hospital. Could you maybe drop me back at campus?" Skyler wasn't certain if those three thugs had really taken off. In such a dicey moment, she wasn't about to foolishly decline Zavier's offer of a ride.

The girl had puked her guts out from fright, but she spoke with a casual tone as if nothing had happened. Sure, she was a bit of a scaredy-cat, but without a single teardrop—tougher than he had expected.

Zavier's rare kindness surfaced, "Get up. Let's go."

Skyler tried to get up, but her entire body felt weak, and she couldn't stand up. She looked up at him, batting her doe eyes pitifully, "My legs are jelly, and I can't stand up. Could you give me a hand?"d2

Zavier snorted, "Skyler, cut the act. I'm not falling for your tricks."

"I'm not playing any tricks. I really can't stand up." Ignoring Zavier's cocky attitude, she extended her hand, "Just help me up, it's not like you'll lose a limb."

Faced with her outstretched hand, Zavier couldn't refuse. He took her small, soft hand in his large one and with a firm tug, pulled her to her feet. Perhaps he hadn't judged his strength well, or maybe her legs were still too wobbly, but she ended up tumbling into his arms.

Her soft breasts met his firm pecs in a stark contrast.

Zavier froze for a second before pushing her away. Skyler, not yet steady, fell back to the ground with a thud.

Zavier was far from chivalrous, instead, he accused her first, "Thought you weren't playing games? That move might work on some guys, but not on me. Best drop the act before you really tick me off, Skyler."

Skyler gritted her teeth in frustration and thought to herself. "What's wrong with this guy?"
