Faux Vows, True Desires

Emma rushed back.

She was worried that Lucinda would misunderstand Stefan, and she felt the need to explain things on Stefan's behalf.

When she got back to the room, she saw Stefan and Lucinda clearing the table.

Emma was taken aback.

Stefan wasn't used to being waited on like other people because the Andersons raised their children to be capable of taking care of themselves. Once the children reached a certain age, they were sent to a private island owned by the family. Then, the island would be evacuated and handed over to the kids to fend for themselves. This ensured that the Anderson boys could handle any challenge in the real world. But in Emma's eyes, Stefan was exceptional. Due to his busy work schedule, he rarely did chores.

She blamed the other servants for not understanding the situation and letting Stefan and his wife clear the table. She quickly walked over, took the dishes that Lucinda had already cleaned up, and said to Lucinda, "Ma'am, let me handle this. You and Stefan just need to eat."

Lucinda instinctively said, "Emma, I can do it. I also helped my mom with chores at home."

When she was renting her place, she also took care of herself. She was used to cleaning up after meals.

Stefan spoiled her and let her do whatever she wanted, as long as it didn't tire her out. Besides, cleaning up together made Stefan feel the ordinary yet sweet life of a married couple.

Emma gave Stefan a look and said to Lucinda with a smile, "Ma'am, Stefan hasn't even changed his clothes yet, and he's about to go to work. You should accompany him upstairs and help him pick out an outfit. Stefan has a hard time choosing clothes, and if he had to choose by himself, he might take a while."

Without Emma saying anything, Lucinda couldn't have imagined that Stefan would have trouble choosing clothes. She remembered the first time she accompanied Stefan to a party. He brought her several dresses, and she didn't know how
