    Chapter 1745


    Time flew by.


    In the blink of an eye, Skyler had entered her junior year. She was the epitome of dedication, acing her


    studies and keeping up with her part-time job, where every song sheposed was a hit.


    Just when things seemed to be on the upswing for Skyler, Zavier, who graduated earlier, had slowly


    risen from being the least likely sessor to a formidable contender for the helm of Rivera Inc.,


    bringing the battle for inheritance to a fever pitch.


    One day, after ss, Skyler barely stepped into her dorm when she received a text from Zavier: [Free


    tonight?]


    Zavier had been swampedtely, and it had been days since Skylerst saw him. She quickly replied,


    [Nope. I’d clear my calendar for you, Mr. Zavier, no matter what.]


    Zavier responded with [Get downstairs.]


    Every time Zavier sent such a message, he was usually waiting for her outside. Skyler rushed to the


    window and looked down. Sure enough, there he was, standing below, a cigarette between his fingers,


    lost in a haze of smoke.e2


    Skyler texted back, [How many times have I told you not to smoke? Why are you still at it?] Zavier


    suddenly looked up, and although they were too far apart to see each other clearly she was on the


    eleventh floor – Skyler could still make out the smile on his face.


    He obediently stubbed out the cigarette and sent another message, [Dinner tonight?]


    Skyler smiled down at him, [Sure.]


    Returning to the dorm, Emma and Amanda couldn’t help but tease, “Zavier’s waiting for you again,


    huh? The love you two spread could feed our entire campus for a year.”


    Skylerughed, “Your boyfriends are just as sweet to you. No need to be jealous of me.”


    “When’s the wedding?” Emma asked eagerly. “I’m dying to celebrate your big day.”


    “We’ve got it nned,” Skyler said. “We’ll get hitched right after I graduate.”


    Amanda chimed in, “We all thought Zavier was the domineering type, but turns out he’s all about


    warmth and thoughtfulness. Sky, you really hit the jackpot.”


    Whenever anyoneplimented Zavier in front of Skyler, she never downyed it. In her eyes, Zavier


    truly was the best partner, “He really is amazing. I’m so grateful that he’s the man I met.”


    But Amanda warned, “Just keep a close eye on him. A catch like Zavier has a long line of admirers.


    Don’t let any schemers get the upper hand.”


    “He’s not that kind of guy,” Skyler responded with confidence.


    Emma added, “Better safe than sorry, right?”


    Ding-dong.


    Skyler’s phone rang, and she thought it was Zavier urging her to hurry. When she picked up her phone


    and checked, it was a message from the Blue family. Without much thought, she casually swiped it


    away without opening and reading the messages. “Ladies, I need to head down. Don’t want to keep my


    boyfriend waiting.”


    “When has Zavier ever rushed you?” they spoke in unison. “Remember your twentieth birthday? We


    spent ages getting you ready, and he waited downstairs for a good couple of hours. Anyone elseC0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    would’ve lost patience, but not your Zavier. He didn’t send a single text.”


    “He might not rush me, but I can’t stand the thought of him out in the cold,” Skyler retorted before


    dashing out the door.


    Emma called after her, “That girl is showing off again!”


    Skyler quickly made her way downstairs and as soon as she reached Zavier, he took her hand firmly


    into his.


    The winters in the Capital were harsh, and Skyler’s hands were always cold, but ever since she and


    Zavier got together, her hands had never felt the chill again.
