Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda took the bouquet made of banknotes, looked down at it for a while, and then chuckled, "So, the 'practical' flowers you were talking about are made of money. I thought you were going to give me some

fake flowers, you know, the ones that never wilt."

A rich male protagonist could totally use this trick to win over a girl.

She had learned that.

The male characters in novels were all wealthy, they wouldn't mind a bouquet made of money.

"How could I possibly give you fake flowers?"

Stefan, the doting man that he was, gently tapped her nose. Seeing her hair still loose, he kindly offered, "Let me help you tie your hair up, using the hairpin I got for you." "Aren't those things at Ascend Estate?"

Stefan laughed, "You underestimated your husband. How could I only prepare for you at Ascend Estate? In every house of mine, you'll find your daily necessities."

Lucinda was about to say something, but remembering how he had been watching her for eleven years and done so many things behind her back, she swallowed her words.

Stefan turned around and left.

In a bit, he came back with a bunch of fancy hairpins, placed them in front of the dressing table, and asked Lucinda to choose.

Then he picked up the comb and tenderly started brushing her soft hair.

Holding the bouquet made of banknotes, Lucinda looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her pretty face was lit up with a genuine smile. She was touched by the man behind her who was so caring and sincere. A happy woman, just like a confident woman, always seemed extra attractive.

Lucinda felt that ever since she married Stefan, she had become more and more beautiful.

Watching his skilled movements, Lucinda couldn't help but ask, "Have you often helped women comb their hair?"

"Sure, I practiced for a long time so that I could take care of you now. Not just combing, but also doing updo hairstyles, I'm pretty good at it."

Lucinda casually asked, "Who did you practice on?"
