Faux Vows, True Desires

"Mom."

Ethan walked up to Mrs. Blue and gently called out to her.

Mrs. Blue turned her head to look at him, hushed him, and whispered, "Honey, speak softly. Don't wake the baby. The baby just fell asleep." "Mom, I'm your son, Ethan."

Ethan said helplessly, "Don't mistake me for dad."

He did look a lot like his father.

"You're joking again. Our Ethan is still so young. Don't make noise. I need to put our daughter to sleep.'

Mrs. Blue glared at Ethan in front of her, then went back to cuddling the doll in her arms.

Ethan looked at his mother, who remembered him but couldn't recognize him, and felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

He silently swore to himself that he would find his sister, whether she was alive or dead.

He believed his sister was still alive.

Because he and his sister were twins, if she wasn't around, he would be able to sense it.

He didn't feel any sharp pain, which meant his sister must still be alive. He just didn't know where she was.

After dinner, Stefan took Lucinda around to familiarize her with the environment.

They casually strolled and chatted.

Time flew by without them realizing it.

As night fell, Lucinda had to face the reality of sharing a bed with him again.

"I told you I wouldn't touch you tonight."

Stefan handed Lucinda a set of clean clothes, pinched her face playfully, and said, "Lucy, don't treat me like a hungry wolf."

Even though he was indeed a hungry wolf.
