Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 46

"Tonight, I just want to curl up with you and sleep; that's all I'm going to do," Stefan promised her.

When loved someone, he had to respect her body.

"Thank you, Stefan." Lucinda instantly thanked him for his understanding.

As soon as she finished speaking, her lips were gently touched by Stefan's.

She touched her own lips, looking at him innocently.

"Call me hubby, like you did just now. I really like hearing that."

Lucinda's face instantly turned red.

She had just called him that to appease his jealousy and anger.

"You can call me whatever," said Lucinda before trying to duck away.

"Oh, right, Stefan, something weird happened."

"What's up?"

Stefan followed her downstairs to have dinner.

Emma knew he would bring Lucinda back tonight, so she had the kitchen prepare lots of dishes that Lucinda liked.

"Before you came to pick me up, there were several men in black who looked like bodyguards. The way they looked at me, it felt like murder."


Hearing this, Stefan's expression immediately became serious and deep, but he tried to stay calm and comforted Lucinda, saying, "You don't know them, right? If you don't, then maybe you're just overthinking. I also find some people to look particularly fierce, always making one feel as if they're murderers."

"I don't know them. I've never offended anyone. If I had to name someone I've pissed off, it'd just be Ruby. But she was the one who picked a fight with me first."

"Ruby can only use Owen to pressure you. Her family is not in this country, and she doesn't have much influence in Pinehurst anymore. Owen came later, which indicates that the men in black you saw probably weren't sent by Owen."
