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?”
