Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 24

Savannah burst into laughter, "You young people always love to spring surprises."

She then asked with concern, "Are you staying at your place?"

Ruby hesitated before she answered, "I planned to stay at my place, but nobody's home most of the time and the house is getting a bit old. I want to renovate it. It's not so convenient staying in a hotel all the time, so I was thinking..."

Savannah chuckled and watched her without interrupting.

"Savannah, could I stay at your place temporarily? I'll move back once the renovation is done. I'll pay the rent."

"Why should you pay rent? This isn't a hostel," Savannah refused the rent but didn't give Ruby a straight answer. "Ruby, I'm old and retired. I don't bother with company or household matters anymore, it's all Stefan's job now. He's the decision maker at home."

"You need to negotiate with Stefan if you want to stay at our place. If he agrees, you're welcome to move in anytime. Patrick and I would be delighted to have you."

Ruby was taken aback, she didn't expect Savannah to say that.

Go to Stefan?

Ruby knew very well that Stefan would never let her stay at the Anderson Manor. Despite the numerous guest rooms, he still held a grudge against her due to past incidents. It would be difficult for her to move in.

"I'll go surprise Stefan at his office later."

Besides herself, Stefan and Owen, Ruby hadn't let anyone else know about her real relationship with Stefan.

Let everyone believe she's the girl Stefan has liked since childhood.

Savannah agreed.


After a bit more chatting with Savannah, Ruby made an excuse and left the Ascend Estate.
