Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 79

Eric said, "Ruby, whatever you had with my bro in the past, he's married now, so you better keep your distance, to avoid any misunderstanding with my sister-in-law."

"Eric, are you guys just cool with that woman being your sister-in-law?" Ruby vented, seething with jealousy, "Do you know what kind of family she comes from? Her family's economic conditions are very ordinary, they can't possibly match up to the Andersons. And she's an orphan, just a charity case taken in by the Moores."

Ruby thought herself a perfect match for Stefan in every way, and she should be his wife!

"My bro picked her, so even if she was a beggar, if he married her, I'd accept her as my sister-in-law."

Eric was curious, but he respected Stefan's choice.

He believed Stefan wouldn't just wing it when it came to such an important matter.

Even though they did get hitched out of the blue, they've known each other for eleven years.

Ruby was left speechless.

"I'm going." Eric didn't want to argue with Ruby anymore.

When Fiona found out that Stefan was a rich man, she was shook but she didn't grill him on the spot about his secret. Instead, she quietly had dinner with the Andersons.

After dinner, the two old folks from the Anderson family wisely let Eric take them home, leaving Stefan to keep Ike and Fiona company.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide my identity."

Stefan finally got a chance to apologize and explain to Fiona.

Fiona didn't say a word, just sat silently, lost in her own thoughts.


Stefan continued, "I just prefer to keep a low profile, don't want too many people knowing about my status, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Ike scoffed, "So when you and Lucy were getting married, were you worried that we would ask you for a big fat wedding gift, so you decided to continue hiding?"
