Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 138

"Stefan didn't do anything wrong; don't pick on him." Lucinda defended her husband.

Ike poked her forehead lightly again, chiding her, "You're really biased towards your hubby, huh?"

Lucinda, clinging to Ike's arm, pleaded playfully, "I messed up this time, but I'll be careful next time, okay? Don't blame Stefan."

"Next time? This time scared the bejesus out of me. If something actually happened to you, what would our parents do?"

Ike's anger was fueled by fear. He remembered the fright he had.

"There won't be a next time. I'm alright now; don't be mad. You'll age faster if you're always mad. You're a handsome hunk; you haven't found a wife yet, so you can't afford to get old." Ike was both annoyed and amused.

"Let's not tell our parents about this, and definitely not our grandparents." Lucinda advised him.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Telling our parents would give them a heart attack."

Ike finished his sentence and shot Stefan several glares.

He was unaware that his mother had already told Lucinda about her origins, and even less that the incident was caused by Lucinda's background. He thought it was Stefan's identity that had brought trouble upon Lucinda.

When he first heard that Lucinda was marrying Stefan, he was extremely anxious, dropping everything at work to rush back and stop the wedding, but to no avail.

He had warned Lucinda that Stefan was not as benign as he seemed and that she couldn't handle him.

Once she knew about Stefan's true identity, Lucinda had thoughts of divorce. Ike fully supported Lucinda's decision to divorce, but Stefan was too cunning and sweet-talked his sister into staying. Now that the two of them had announced their engagement, he had nothing more to say.
