Cecilia's phone started ringing.

She pulled it out of her pocket and said to Hudson, "It's gotta be Lucy calling me."

But her expression slightly changed when she saw the caller ID.

After noticing her change of face, her brother jokingly asked, "Not Lucy? Who's on the line?"

"I've met him a few times; I guess you could say he's a friend."

Cecilia didn't say outright that it was Owen, nor did she hide it from Hudson; she simply answered Owen's call.

"Cecilia."

"I'm here; what's up? Why are you calling me this late?"

"Do you remember what you promised me when you asked me to help Lucinda?"

Cecilia nodded, "Yeah, you need my help already? Just spill it; whatever you need me to do, if I can, I'll do it. Even if I'm up against the wall, I won't hesitate."

Owen was silent for a moment, then said, "You won't be up against the wall. Just bring your ID tomorrow and meet me at nine. We're getting our marriage certificate."

Cecilia's phone slipped from her hand and dropped to the floor.

She was stunned.

Owen thought something had happened when he heard a noise and anxiously called her, "Cecilia, Cecilia, what's wrong?"

After hearing a strange man's voice and seeing Cecilia's shocked face, her brother quickly picked up the phone, "Who are you? What did you say to my sister? You've got her all flustered." "Is Cecilia okay?"

Owen knew his request would startle Cecilia.

He was forced into a corner. If he could, he wouldn't want to scare Cecilia like this.

But thinking about how Cecilia was so startled that she dropped her phone made him feel uncomfortable.
