Lucinda and her contract hubby had a chill weekend at home, with Ike driving them back to the city on Sunday afternoon.
Ike's company had rented an apartment for him, and he initially planned to take the couple back with him, but Lucinda rejected the offer. The place was too far from her shop and wouldn't be convenient for work the next day.
So Ike ended up dropping them off at their rented house.
Knowing that the two of them were living together made Ike a bit uncomfortable, but he couldn't really say anything.
After all, both of their parents had accepted Stefan, so there was no point in Ike opposing it.
"Lucinda, you go ahead, I need a word with Stefan."
Lucinda glanced at Stefan and got out of the car, she still had to take the stuff from the car to the house.
These were home-cooked foods her mom had brought for her, including Fiona's homemade chili sauce.
There were also some vegetables and fruits grown in their home garden.
Every time she went back home, her parents would prepare a lot of stuff for her to bring back to the city. "Lucinda, I'll take care of this stuff later."
Stefan stopped her, not wanting her to carry such heavy things.
The stuff was plentiful and quite heavy.
"I'll take some of the fragile stuff first, and you can bring the rest in later. And bro, don't forget to lend a hand."
Lucinda reminded Ike that he should help out and not just stand by.
"Yeah, yeah."
Ike responded dismissively.
