Just as Lucinda was about to speak, her phone rang.

"Don't bother checking. It's definitely Mr. Coleman calling," Cecilia teased. "You two are so tight now. It's truly enviable. Even the most cynical folks would start believing in love after witnessing you two." Lucinda shot back, "So, do you believe in love now? You're married too, right?"

Cecilia retorted, "How can my husband even compare to yours?"

After a moment, she added, "We haven't seen each other in days."

Not that it mattered; she didn't care.

They were husband and wife in name only, nothing more.

Owen hadn't contacted her for days. Did he expect her to chase after him?

He must be dreaming.

If she went looking for him, he'd probably just remind her in his narcissistic and arrogant tone: "Don't fall for me!"

Enough already!

She would never fall for him.

"Ruby's getting out of detention today, and he's probably going to pick her up."

Cecilia reminded Lucinda to stay vigilant about Ruby.

Ruby would definitely not give up on Stefan.


"I'm not afraid of her."

Lucinda answered her husband's call.

Cecilia watched as Lucinda reacted excitedly, then quickly regained her composure.

After the call ended, Lucinda told Cecilia, "The DNA test results are in. My brother wants to celebrate our reunion with a meal at Ascend Hotel." "I'm coming too?"

"Of course, you're my best friend unless you're not happy for me."

"How could I not be? I'm thrilled for you."

Cecilia didn't refuse again.
