Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1748

"Thank you, Grandpa." Zavier turned to look at Skyler. Despite having a thousand words on his mind, he simply uttered a brief sentence. "Skyler, you just hang tight here, okay? I'll be back before you know it."

Skyler offered a warm smile, "Okay."

Then Zavier said to Hudson, "Grandpa, please look after Skyler for me."

Hudson waved dismissively, "You're a grown man. Stop fussing like an old maid. Go and handle your business. You can only protect the ones you love when you've got your own affairs sorted."

Zavier nodded, "Got it."

Skyler gave him an encouraging smile, "Hurry back."d2

And with that, Zavier was gone.

No sooner had he left than Skyler heard Hudson's sobering words, "Skyler, the Blue family going bust means you're no longer playing in the same league as the Riveras, you get that, right?"

Skyler nodded slowly, "I understand."

Hudson seemed pleased, "I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You've got a good head on your shoulders."

Skyler laughed bitterly, "I just wish I wasn't so clear on the situation right now."

Hudson continued, "You're a good kid, a real catch for any regular family. It's just a damn shame that my grandson Zavier's got too much on his plate."

The implication was subtle, but to Skyler, it already felt too direct, "What would you like me to do, Grandpa?"
