Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1658

Skyler really didn’t want to sit at the head of the table, but when Hudson called her name, she couldn’t find an excuse to bail. If she had it her way, she’d have tucked herself into the most inconspicuous corner. Being unnoticed was the best strategy. Yet, Skyler was well aware that as long as she wore the title of Zavier’s fiancée, blending into the background was an unattainable wish.

Kalene, sitting close to Skyler, reached over and heaped some roast beef onto her plate. “Skyler, eat up, honey. You need to put some meat on those bones. If your parents saw you this thin, they’d be worried sick.”

Skyler managed a polite smile, “Thanks, Mrs. Rivera.”

This seemingly normal address, when heard by others, sounded like a mistake. Matthew, with a teasing smirk, chimed in, “Kiddo, you and Zavier are practically hitched, and you’re still with the ‘Mrs. Rivera’? Sounds a bit cold, doesn’t it?”

With Hudson backing Skyler, Kalene had the confidence to speak up, “These young ones today are shy. As long as she holds me dear, she can call me whatever makes her comfortable.”

Nora jumped to Kalene’s defense, “Matthew, if Kalene doesn’t mind the formality, why does a grown man like you take issue?”

Matthew argued, “It’s just that sooner or later, Skyler will have to change how she addresses Kalene. Might as well start early.”e2
