Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 19

Stefan's face turned sour.

What's wrong with Ike? Did he have some mental problems?

With a threatening tone, Stefan asked Ike, "Do you want to try?"

And then, Ike's face turned just as sour. He almost threw a punch again.

Annoyed, he said, "Stefan, I ain't hinting anything, alright?"

Stefan sneered, "If you doubt me again, I can prove to you..."

"Alright, alright, I believe you, I believe you!"

Ike cut him off.

"Stefan, you're engaged to Lucinda. You can't go after me. I'm a handsome dude, but I'm only interested in women." Stefan replied, "I didn't ask you to validate me. I have a fiancée. Whether I can do it or not, my fiancée would know best."

Ike: "... You and Lucinda aren't married yet. You guys can't do that!"

Ah, his precious little sister was going to be taken by this jerk!

Ike was in low spirits, feeling more and more annoyed by his old classmate and Lucinda's fiancé.

Stefan didn't give a damn about what Ike said.

His target was Lucinda.

As long as Lucinda was willing, he, as a ready-to-be husband, could marry her anytime.

On the rooftop, two men were glaring at each other.

Downstairs, Lucinda was sitting in front of her computer, hands tapping away on the keyboard, words popping up on the screen.

Fiona opened the door, saw her daughter busy writing, then quietly retreated and closed the door.

Lucinda knew her mother had been there. She intended to chat with her after finishing a section, but Fiona left, not disturbing her writing.

It was already 10 PM. She was still short of her daily updates. She had to finish them before midnight.

She had no choice, because her coffee shop wasn't making a profit yet.

So giving up was out of the question. After all, with hope ahead, persistence would pay off.
