Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 189

Cecilia once again pulled him close, their bodies near enough that she could smell the cologne he always wore.

She didn't particularly like that scent, but it was always on him, probably because Ruby liked it.

"Owen, you don't need to remind me. I'm clear about our business relationship. Don't worry, I won't make any move on you. There are plenty of good guys out there. You may be a good guy for Ruby, but not for me. I'm not stupid enough to fall for someone like you."

Owen's face turned ugly as he shook off Cecilia's hand.

He sat up straight and said seriously, "During our partnership, I hope you won't betray me."

"Our agreement didn't mention anything about not having other relationships, did it? Besides, you've been flaunting your relationship in front of me, and I'm supposed to remain loyal to you? You think I enjoy being betrayed?"

Owen was left speechless.

She didn't ask for his loyalty, so what right did he have to demand hers?

After all, they were a couple in name only. She was doing this to repay a favor, and he was doing it to protect his position and status.

He truly had no right to make demands.

After a while, Owen said, "If you have someone you like, you can date him secretly first. Once we get a divorce, then you can publicly date him. I don't want to end up being the joke of the town." "I'm the one who's the joke. After all, everyone knows about you and your goddess."

Owen was left speechless again.

"Let's go, it's almost midnight." Cecilia urged Owen to start the car.

Despite shooting her a glare, Owen started the engine.

What could he do when he was too soft-hearted to let her make her own way home?

If he had just let her ride her scooter home, it wouldn't be his problem anymore.

He was just too worried, worried that she would be in danger on the road...
