Chapter 1629

The next day, Skyler was up with the birds.

The living room, which had resembled a war zone the night before, was now spick and span. The doors and windows were flung open, allowing the stale smells of alcohol and smoke to drift away, and be replaced by the fresh scent of flowers scattered about the room.

No one was in sight, but Skyler, could hear Marissa’s voice ringing cheerfully, “Miss Skyler, up at the crack of dawn? Is our guest bed not to your liking?”

Turning her head, Skyler spotted Marissa in an apron, clearly having taken a break from her kitchen duties. “I’m an early riser back home too. Need any help with something, Marissa?”

“You’re gonna be the lady of the house someday. We can’t have you lifting a finger.” Marissa chuckled, glancing upstairs as she spoke. “Mr. Zavier usually sleeps in till the sun’s high in the sky. Why don’t you go ahead and have breakfast? I’ve got it all ready for you.”
