    Chapter 1726


    It was as if waves of people were crashing against Skyler’s shore, one after the other, consuming the


    entire morning and turning her routine upside down.


    And it wasn’t just for the day. For the following days, Skyler was like the school’s novelty act, drawing


    crowds wherever she went, turning into some sort of mobile tourist attraction on campus.


    Zavier was well aware of the situation.


    Leaning in, Garrett whispered to him, “Zavier, the whole school’s buzzing about Skyler being your


    fiancée. Aren’t you going to set the record straight?”


    Zavier replied nonchntly, “She is my fiancée. What’s there to rify?”


    Garrett stared at Zavier incredulously, “Man, at the start of the semester, you couldn’t stand the thought


    of being linked to your ‘fiancée. And now, just a few monthster, you’re acting like you’re head over


    heels. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Skyler and actually want to marry her?”


    Zavier shot Garrett a frosty nce, “Whether I marry her or not is none of your business. And for the


    record, even if I don’t, she wouldn’t give you a second nce. So, you might as well get over her


    now.”e2


    Garrett shrugged, “Once I knew she was off-limits, I backed off. I may not have many virtues, but I


    know when to fold.”


    Zavier simply stated, “Keep an eye on her at school.”


    With a chuckle, Garrett retorted, “With the title of Zavier’s fiancée, she hardly needs my protection.”


    Zavier felt that was true and dropped the subject. He reached for his phone, intending to shoot Skyler a


    message on WhatsApp, but then he realized he didn’t have any of Skyler’s contact details. “Do you


    have Skyler’s contact info?”


    Garrett was incredulous, “You’re telling me you don’t even have your own fiancée’s number?”


    “Just answer the question,” Zavier demanded.


    “I don’t have it, of course. But I’m in a group with Skyler. I’ll try to add her, and once she epts, I’ll


    share her contact with you,” Garrett offered.


    Zavier nodded in approval.


    Garrett attempted to add Skyler as a friend on WhatsApp, only to be met with a notification that her


    ount was private and wouldn’t ept friend requests.


    He showed the screen to Zavier, “I can’t send her friend requests.”


    “Then get me into this group,” Zavier instructed.


    Garrettplied immediately.


    In no time, Zavier was in the group, “Which one is Skyler?”


    “That’s the one with the ck profile picture and no nickname,” Garrett pointed out.


    Hearing this, Zavier didn’t hesitate to tag Skyler, “@Skyler, this is Zavier. Add me on WhatsApp.”


    No one dared to tease openly, but the group’s numbers swelled from a few dozen to five hundred in


    minutes, a testament to their curiosity.


    Yet, Skyler did not respond to Zavier’s message. She was in ss, a time when she never carried her


    phone.

    Her roommate Emma slid her a note, “Skyler, Zavier’s asking you to add him on WhatsApp in the


    readingpetition group.”


    Skyler scribbled a reply, “No phone with me. Tell him I’ll add him after ss.”


    Before Emma could send the message, Zavier appeared at the entrance of their lecture hall, ignoring


    the ongoing lecture, his voice booming, “Skyler, I asked you to add me on WhatsApp. Why haven’t


    you?”
