Faux Vows, True Desires

"That night at the restaurant, I really put you through a hassle, huh?"

Now Lucinda understood why Stefan was so deeply in love with her.

The loyalty and deep affection he showed in relationships was something he inherited it from his elders.

His grandparents were probably a very loving couple when they were young.

Even though their hair has turned grey, their love for each other remained deep.

Lucinda admired such love.

She hoped that her relationship with Stefan could be like Savannah and Patrick's, remaining close even with their grey hair.

"Seeing Stefan and Lucy being so close reminds me of our young days. Stefan now is just like you back then."

Savannah reminisced about the past, her smile growing even softer.

"Stefan is our grandson, he grew up with us. He inherited our resilience and loyalty. This is a good thing. At least, Lucinda will be the happiest woman in Pinehurst."

Patrick said it as if it was a matter of fact.

The children they raised won't be reckless or playboys.

Their descendants were all honest people in society. If anyone dared to be irresponsible to women and played around, they would be kicked out of the house!

"Yep, Stefan is a responsible kid. Now that he's married to Lucinda, she's part of our family. No one else stands a chance."

Savannah knew Patrick was referring to Ruby.

She asked Patrick, "Megan came yesterday, didn't she?"

"Yes."

"She came back to the country because she found out about Ruby, right?"
