Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1755

Zavier was afraid of so many things.

Fear gnawed at him – fear of losing control again and hurting Skyler.

Fear that Skyler would run away from him once more. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Fear that he might never even catch a glimpse of Skyler again.

Just fear…

Sensing his silent turmoil, Garrett grew impatient. “Zavier.”

Zavier waved him off, “Find a hotel and get some rest. I need some solitude.”e2

“How can I leave you alone in this state?” Garrett glanced at the small house nearby. “Skyler and the others have gone inside. You can’t see her from here, what’s the point in staying?”

Zavier replied, “Just knowing she’s there, that she’s alive, that’s enough for me.”

Garrett sighed, “You’re hopelessly romantic, you know that?”

At that, something clicked in Zavier’s mind. “Garrett, you go right now and arrange for men to monitor the area for miles around. I have to know Skyler’s whereabouts at all times. She can’t vanish from my life again. But remember, she mustn’t notice. We can’t disturb her life.”

“Alright, I’m on it.” Garrett shook his head as he left.

Back in college, Garrett had thought Zavier was the least likely to be tied down by love. Now, it seemed Zavier was the only one ensnared by it. Some people might seem crazy and heartless, but they were

the most devoted in love.

After Garrett left, Zavier, with trembling hands, lit a cigarette and took a harsh drag. “Skyler, I know I’m a bastard. I know everything. I could have explained it all to you, but I chose a path that hurt us both.”

Back then, Zavier knew everything. He knew that Skyler had tricked him under her grandfather’s coercion. He knew it all.

He could have chosen to talk it out with her, but instead, he hurt her in the most extreme way. Because he thought, in Skyler’s world, her sister would always come first. He would always be second to her sister.

Until the day Skyler faked her own death and he saw her young sister again, now grown up and the spitting image of eighteen-year-old Skyler. Not just in looks, but even the timid demeanor was identical to Skyler’s. That was when he had his epiphany. In Skyler’s heart, her sister was another version of herself. She didn’t want her sister to live in constant fear as she had.

Despite being barely an adult herself and unable to escape the clutches of her own family, she did everything she could to protect her sister. She refused to let her sister suffer as she had.

He knew all of this, yet he let jealousy drive him to wound her so grievously. He could still vividly recall the light dying in Skyler’s eyes when he told her that her sister was dead.

After that, she never mentioned Iris in front of him again, and to this day, he didn’t know if she had truly forgotten her sister.

He had consulted psychologists who told him that some people choose to forget certain events because they’re too painful to remember. Maybe Skyler had indeed forgotten Iris. Otherwise, how could she bear to fake her own death?

It was his selfishness, his jealousy, his madness, and his obsession that made her decade with him akin to living in hell.

“Skyler, I know I made a mistake. Is there any chance for me?” Hot tears rolled down from Zavier’s bloodshot eyes.

He knew, all too well, that regret was the one thing you couldn’t buy in this world.
