Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 182

Ascend Hotel.

During mealtime, Lucinda naturally took a seat next to her mother.

Then Keith and Ike swooped in and sat on either side of them, successfully isolating Stefan from Lucinda.

Stefan paused for a moment, then took a seat across from Lucinda.

It didn't take Lucinda's two brothers long to team up.

Cecilia didn't think much of it. She just pulled out a chair and sat.

Since Keith and his mom were present, Stefan didn't order in advance, and he passed the task of ordering to Lucinda's brothers.

Keith grabbed the menu without hesitation. His gaze passed over his mother and landed on Lucinda. His usually cold face now wore a gentle expression. "Lucy, what do you fancy?"

Before Lucinda could answer, Stefan had already listed a few of her favorite dishes.

Lucinda's brothers both turned to look at Stefan.

Ike picked up the glass of water in front of him, taking leisurely sips while shooting Stefan sidelong glances.

Stefan chuckled, "I know all about Lucy's likes and dislikes, her hobbies, everything. If you guys have any questions, just ask me."

The water Ike was sipping sprayed out. He started coughing.

Lucinda anxiously patted Ike's back, "Ike, are you okay?"


Turned out, Ike had choked on his drink.

After coughing a few times, he was fine.

He said to Stefan, "Stefan, you're playing favorites. I'm also Lucinda's brother, but I've never heard you call me 'brother.' As soon as the test results came out, you started calling Keith 'bro'." Keith was five years younger than Stefan.

"We're classmates. I can't call you 'brother.""
