Faux Vows, True Desires

Stefan slowly pulled out their marriage certificate and placed it on the small coffee table in the living room. He said to Fiona, "Mom, Lucinda and I are legally married, this certificate is real, we're not faking it." Fiona picked up the certificate on the table and examined it.

All the information on the certificate was real, indicating that it wasn't a fake document to deceive her. Moreover, the accompanying wedding photo had been included. The two people in the photo were smiling sweetly, like a couple that had been dating for many years. This showed that when they registered for marriage, they truly loved each other, and there was no deception or coercion.

Recalling what Ike had said, Fiona handed the document back to her husband for a second look. She asked Stefan, "You and Lucinda have known each other for many years, but you didn't have much contact privately. How did you suddenly think of getting married?"

This happened after their daughter had failed in matchmaking many times.

Fiona didn't want to suspect that her daughter and Stefan were pretending to be a married couple to deceive her, but she couldn't help but doubt it because it was too coincidental.

Stefan showed a gentle expression on his face and explained, "Mom, I fell in love with Lucinda a long time ago. But since she is younger, I needed to wait patiently for her to grow up and wanted to have a stable job before confessing to her.

"I didn't expect that while I was working hard, Lucinda already had a boyfriend and their relationship was going well. Although I was upset, I respected Lucinda's choice. As long as Lucinda is happy, even if she is not with me, I hope she can be happy."

Stefan spoke very sincerely.

If his friends heard this, they would say that he was a very affectionate man.

"Because my company is close to Serendipity Cafe that she opened, I was meeting clients and conducting business there today when I found out about Lucinda's failed matchmaking attempt. I found out that she and her boyfriend had broken up.

"At that time, Lucinda was still upset about the matchmaking. I felt sorry for her and thought this was my chance to confess, so I expressed my feelings to her and asked her to marry me. Lucinda agreed, and we went straight to register for marriage.

"Mom, that's how things are. There's no pretending to be a married couple. After some twists and turns, Lucinda came back into my life. This time, I seized the opportunity because I didn't want to miss such a good girl again. I want to make her truly happy with my own efforts."

The Moore family was speechless.

It felt like they were listening to a story.

Lucinda, who was helping her brother cut fruit, also heard Stefan's words and secretly praised him, "Stefan really has a knack for acting, it's a pity he didn't become an actor."

He's handsome, charming, and can act. It's a waste not to be an actor.
