Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 136

Finally, Ike turned his back, no longer looking at the lovey-dovey couple.

Even if he didn't want to, they were now legally married.

After a while, Stefan let go of his lover.

Lucinda felt a bit weak. Stefan moved her away from the tree trunk, scooped her up in his arms, and left the woods.

People waiting by the roadside, who had been engrossed in their phones, finally pocketed them when they saw the newlyweds emerge.

Lucinda's face was red as a beet.

Even though they were alone in the woods, these people undoubtedly spotted their kiss.

Blushing, she avoided their gaze. Seeing her brother, she lowered her head and called out to him.

Ike responded, "We'll talk about it at home."

With that, he turned around and left.

Lucinda suddenly felt a sense of loneliness around Ike as she watched Ike's retreating figure.

Before, whenever she faced problems, Ike was always the first to appear by her side to help her out.

Their sibling relationship was always good; she was always his most cherished little sister.

Stefan took Lucinda to his car. Instead of driving himself, he let a bodyguard take the wheel while he and Lucinda sat in the backseat. "Charles, tell everyone to head home. I'll treat everyone to a meal next time."


After instructing Charles, Stefan's car took off.

"Where to?" The bodyguard asked while driving.

"Diamond Ridge Estates."

It was the closest place. Going back to Ascend Estate would be too far, and his grandparents were home. He didn't want them to know about this and worry.
