Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 149

"Ms. Yates is a real sweetheart."

It was rare for Stefan to praise a woman other than Lucinda.

He glanced at Owen.

Owen got the hint and snorted, "I only have eyes for Ruby."

"Well then, I'll leave it at that. After all, you're the one who's going to suffer, not me. Just remember, if you keep meddling in my affairs because of Ruby or helping Ruby to keep tabs on me, don't blame me for not being polite!"

"You're not exactly polite to me in the first place."

Owen mumbled under his breath.

"If you've got nothing else, you can scram now."

Stefan said, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Can you show me how? Owen, thank you!"

"Don't be so formal; it's not my style."

Owen looked uncomfortable. "It's not my thing when you thank me so formally."

Stefan took a couple of steps forward and kicked at him.

Owen dodged swiftly.

"Stefan, what the heck?"


"You said you're not used to being thanked, so how about a kick? You're used to that, right? You're such a pain in the ass."

"You're the pain in the ass, Stefan. You didn't come here to thank me today; you came to piss me off. I'm about to die of anger."

"Your eyes are still open, and you're claiming to be dead from anger?"

Stefan scoffed at him and said as he walked out, "Let me know when you're really dead from anger."
