Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1722

Zavier awkwardly scratched his ear, "Alright, no more jokes. Let’s head inside, shall we?"

Fuming, Skyler had no interest in dealing with him any further, but Zavier reached for her hand, "To ease my mom's mind, I told her we've patched things up. We've got to put on a show for her."

Skyler, not wanting to upset an elder, reluctantly handed over her hand. Together, they walked inside.

Upon their arrival, with Zavier leading Skyler by the hand, Kalene’s face lit up with joy, but Nora spoke first, "Finally decided to show up, did you?"

Zavier replied, "Auntie Nora, what brings you here?"

Nora retorted, "Your mother's been under the weather, so naturally, I'm here to keep her company. Not like you, after wrapping up your dad's affairs, you couldn't spare a thought for her."d2

Zavier said, "Well, I'm back now, aren't I? Skyler and I will take good care of Mom. You won't have to worry."

Nora challenged him, "Are you trying to shoo me away?"

Zavier, with a cheeky grin, said, "I just don't want you wearing yourself out at your age. It's not about sending you away."

Nora, exasperated, "Look at the son you've raised, Kalene! He's got no sense of right or wrong. The nicer someone is to him, the more awful he gets. And the ones who are hard on him? He treasures them like jewels."

Her gaze shifted pointedly towards Skyler, "I can't imagine what kind of witchcraft you've used on him."

Zavier squeezed Skyler’s hand tighter, "This is the fiancée my grandfather chose for me. I hope you will show her some respect from now on."

Nora was at a loss for words, fuming but unable to retort.
