Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda found herself wide awake, lost in her thoughts.

Since sleep eluded her, she decided to just get up.

On her bedside table lay a set of clean new clothes, prepared for her by Stefan before he went out.

All she had to do was reach out to get them; there was no need to even walk.

During the summer, Lucinda liked to wear short-sleeved t-shirts paired with black capris.

The clothes Stefan had prepared for her were chosen based on her preferences.

Lucinda got out of bed and took the clothes to his walk-in closet. Upon opening the doors, she found that half of the clothes inside were new women's clothing, all t-shirts and capris. Clearly, they matched her taste.

When did he prepare so much clothing for her to change into?

How much preparation had he done while she was unaware?

Seeing the new clothes in the closet, Lucinda couldn't calm down for a long time.

Anyone who found out they had been deeply loved by a great man for ten years couldn't stay calm.

She spent a few minutes changing and freshening up, then went downstairs without any makeup on.

"Good morning, Miss Lucinda."

Emma was busy setting up breakfast downstairs. Seeing Lucinda come down, she greeted her with a smile, then went over to ask with concern, "How did you sleep last night, Miss Lucinda?" Stefan was deeply affectionate towards Lucinda, but she didn't feel the same.

Emma could tell that Lucinda was passive and at a loss.

"Good morning, Emma."

Lucinda replied with a smile.

"Stefan is out for a morning run; he should be back soon. If you're hungry, you can eat something first."

As Emma said this, she led Lucinda into the dining room.

The breakfast prepared by the kitchen was very hearty.

"I'll wait for Stefan to come back before eating."

Lucinda said.
