Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda was staring at Stefan. He was really good at lying; you couldn't tell at all from his face.

Fiona laughed, "Your intention to support us financially is enough for me, you don't really need to give us a third of your paycheck. We don't lack money. And don't forget to support your parents too." Stefan laughed, "My parents are also well off, always worried about our generation not saving enough and want to subsidize us."

"Stefan, since you and Lucinda have signed the marriage agreement, it's time for us to meet your parents."

After saying this, Fiona turned to her daughter, "Have you met Stefan's parents since you came back to the city?"

"Mom, I've been busy."

"So, you haven't met Stefan's parents yet? You're too busy? How's business at your restaurant..." Fiona glanced at the bustling restaurant, her voice dropped significantly, "Doesn't the number of customers decrease in the evening? Can you ask Cecilia to help, and then find time to go with Stefan to meet his parents? Are you avoiding meeting Stefan's parents? Lucinda, you should do this, are you afraid his parents will dislike you because you're not pretty enough?"

Lucinda whispered, "I'm not ugly."

She wasn't mentally prepared to meet Stefan's parents. If Stefan was an ordinary person like her, she wouldn't be stressed. But he was the heir to a wealthy family. Even if he said his family was easy to get along with, she still felt pressure.

"Mom, don't blame Lucinda. It's because I'm too busy. My home is far from the city and it takes too much time to commute. I plan to take Lucinda to meet my parents on my day off this weekend." Stefan couldn't stand his beloved wife being blamed, even if the person scolding her was her own mother.

Fiona said, "Stefan, don't protect her. I know her character very well. I know what she's thinking."

"Really, mom? So what am I thinking right now?"

After saying this, Fiona lightly patted her. Of course, not too hard.

"Mom, have some orange juice."

A certain husband, protective of his wife, quickly picked up the glass of orange juice and handed it back to Lucinda's mom.
