Faux Vows, True Desires

"Who the hell are you? I don't care who you are; Stefan is mine. You can't take my Stefan."

Adrienne was young and fiercely determined. She had feelings for Stefan, and regardless of how Stefan treated her, she saw him as her boyfriend.

Emma quickly covered Adrienne's mouth and dragged her out of the main house.

Adrienne struggled fiercely.

But she couldn't resist Emma's strong arms and large hands.

Muffled sounds were all Adrienne could make with Emma's hand covering her mouth.

"Lucinda."

Stefan was desperate to explain to Lucinda, but he got a bit pissed off when he saw her seemingly enjoying the whole thing.

He was her man, her husband, and he didn't expect her to help him deal with the situation, but at least she shouldn't be watching like it was a show.

Stefan felt very frustrated.

But then he figured that since Lucinda didn't love him, he shouldn't expect her to be jealous.

"Stefan, Adrienne's voice when she calls your name is so sweet and pleasant to the ear. I can't help but find her voice quite alluring."

Lucinda laughed lightly. Her words sounded a bit jealous, no matter how he took them.

She picked up the tray, stirred the soup with a spoon, then took a sip and praised, "This is so good! It seems Adrienne really knows her way around making soup; otherwise, she couldn't make such a delicious soup."

"Lucinda."

Stefan reached out, snatched the soup bowl from her, and put it heavily on the table.

Soup splashed out of the bowl.

Stefan didn't care. He started explaining hurriedly and angrily, "Lucinda, there's nothing going on between Adrienne and me. She's our neighbor, the Dewey family's daughter. She's nine years younger than me I can't possibly have feelings for her. No, I like you."
