Faux Vows, True Desires

Upon hearing the words, Cecilia's demeanor shifted dramatically. "Mom, relax, you know I'm not like that," she responded sternly. "Why hasn't grandpa come in yet?" Becca wondered aloud, concerned about the extended delay. She urged Cecilia to check on him.

But just as Cecilia was about to head out, her grandpa quickly entered.

"Grandpa, take it easy," she cautioned.

"Dad, who's at the door?" Becca, who just finished preparing dinner, casually asked to see him come in.

"There's a young man with a bunch of guys dressed in black. They said they're looking for Cecilia. They don't look like good guys. Cecilia, did you get into trouble, and now some bad guys are here?" Cecilia was stunned and asked, "Is it Mr. Martinez?"

Seeing the confused look on her mother's and grandfather's faces, she quickly explained, "Mr. Martinez is the CEO of my cousin's company."

Becca was puzzled, "Why is he here? To see you?"

"Mom, how should I know why he's here, I barely know him. Grandpa, where are they?"

Before Cecilia could finish speaking, Owen walked in, with two bodyguards trailing behind him, each carrying a basket of fruits.

The two bodyguards set down the baskets and left.

Devon, who had gone to answer the door, was shocked by their number and mistakenly thought they were some bad guys.

The Martinez family's bodyguards were complaining inside, "do we look like bad guys?"

As soon as Owen entered the room, his gaze landed on Cecilia.

Seeing Cecilia in green shorts, revealing most of her long legs, her fair skin accentuated by a white t-shirt, and her hair casually tied back.

She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding a remote in one hand and half an apple in the other. She must have taken a bite of the apple just as he came in, as she hadn't swallowed it yet. Seeing him, she stopped eating her apple out of surprise and just stared at him.

Her injured hand was bandaged but it didn't stop her from holding the remote.

Cecilia's casual look was a stark contrast to how she usually was, yet Owen found it refreshingly real.

"Hello, my lady." Owen politely greeted Becca.
