Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 186

They returned to their villa in Diamond Ridge Estates, with Emma coming out to open the door.

Every time Lucinda saw Emma, she would remember the night when she and Stefan went to meet the parents.

Not only Stefan, but even the butler and driver were all part of the show, making her head spin with their convincing performances.

"Emma, you still up?" Lucinda asked with a laugh after getting out of the car.

"I've already had a nap." Emma replied with a smile, "Mrs. Coleman, fancy a midnight snack? I can whip something up now."

Emma usually hit the sack early, waking up once in the middle of the night, then staying awake until 2 a.m. before heading back to sleep.

Stefan would usually come home around this time.

If Stefan didn't show up by the witching hour, he was probably spending the night elsewhere with other housekeepers and colleagues, so Emma would not have to wait up for him. "No need, it's late and a midnight snack would keep me up." Lucinda replied.

Emma turned to look at Stefan.

"Emma, you can head off to bed."

Stefan handed the bouquet in his hands to Lucinda, "You almost forgot these flowers."

Lucinda chuckled a bit sheepishly.

She took the bouquet and went inside with Stefan.

Seeing the lovey-dovey couple, Emma was satisfied and muttered to herself, "This time next year, they'll probably have a little boy or girl."


The years of effort Stefan put in finally paid off.

Emma didn't know how many rivals Stefan had to beat to win Lucinda's heart.
