Faux Vows, True Desires

"Lucy's going to inherit half of the fortune, meaning she'll have to manage her share herself. To get the hang of it, she needs to live at my place for a couple of years. My dad and I can guide her." "I can also give her some tips on the business side of things."

Ethan fell silent for a moment before saying, "If you can't stand being apart from Lucy, then move in with her at our place. We've got plenty of room; one more won't make a difference." Stefan didn't respond.

"Just giving you a heads-up, once the DNA test results are out, I'll ask my dad to come over. After getting Lucy's opinion, we'll take her back to Skywatch. Once we're back, we'll have to do more paternity tests, and there's a bunch of stuff to deal with. We can talk about how long Lucy will stay later."

Ethan thought highly of Stefan and trusted him completely with his sister.

But he had been separated from his sister for over twenty years. Their mother had a breakdown after losing her daughter, and he hoped Lucinda could spend some time with their mother.

He didn't want to part with Lucinda either.

Stefan knew it was premature to discuss these matters, so he just nodded and said, "We'll talk about it later. But before you make any decisions, make sure to ask Lucy. You can't force her if she's not on board."

He felt somewhat helpless.

Before he married Lucinda, he and Ike Moore got along just fine. But once he married Lucinda, Ike's attitude changed entirely.

Ike always badmouthed him in front of Lucy and his in-laws, always trying to drag him down.

Stefan could handle Ike.

But he didn't expect Lucinda to have a biological brother. This brother was even harder to deal with than Ike, considering he was an heir to a big family and was in no way inferior to Stefan. From now on, he would have to deal with both of Lucinda's brothers.

Stefan felt helpless just thinking about it.

He had finally waited for Lucinda to grow up and was finally able to marry her, but her brothers had become his biggest obstacles.
