Faux Vows, True Desires

"Stefan, I'm your brother, what's the big deal if I eat some of your breakfast?"

Stefan snorted, "But if you eat, what's left for Lucinda? You have a huge appetite, and there's not that much food here. You'll finish it all."

Campbell replied, "I don't really have a big appetite."

Looking at the breakfast on the table, indeed, there wasn't much of anything. Definitely not enough for him.

As Lucinda listened to their conversation, she just wanted to cover her face.

Her husband was being such a penny pincher.

She quickly said, "Campbell, I can't eat that much, don't listen to Stefan, eat if you want to."

Campbell didn't hold back, "At least Lucinda is generous, not like Stefan, such a cheapskate. Whenever I eat his food, it's like I owe him a fortune."

"If you owed me a fortune, I wouldn't even bother giving you a reaction."

Campbell chuckled while eating, "True, you're not short on money. A fortune is nothing to you."

"Then what is it?"

Campbell just laughed and didn't reply.

"Stefan, Stefan."

There was a call from outside.

Lucinda looked towards the sound, curious about who was coming in.

The man beside her was already looking quite annoyed.

Patrick and Savannah, despite their age, knew to give them space and not disturb Stefan and Lucinda's alone time, but his brothers just kept coming to interrupt.

He had already told everyone that he would bring Lucinda back on the weekend.

His brothers didn't come back last night, but they're all here today.

"Stefan, the water lilies in the pond are beautiful right now, let's go sit by the pond."

The boy who came in was probably seventeen or eighteen, quite handsome with great skin. Because of his youth, Lucinda thought he was still a junior high student. "Oh, Campbell, you're here too."

The youngest boy of the Anderson family, Judson Anderson, came over, patted Campbell on the shoulder, and turned to Lucinda. He was young and inexperienced, and when he saw Lucinda in person, he exclaimed, "Wow, you're gorgeous! Even beautiful flowers can't compare to you."
