Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 255

The doorbell rang.

Just as Becca was about to get up to open the door, Devon Yates said, "Stay put; I'm done eating. I'll get the door."

Devon stood up and walked out.

"Dude, can you save me some grub?"

Cecilia watched her brother wolf down the food and couldn't help but say it in exasperation.

"First come, first served. I'm not saving anything for anyone."

Hudson said, pushing the food toward his sister.

Then he praised their mother: "Mom, your cooking is dope. I could eat it all day, every day, and never get sick of it."

"Oh really? Who was it then that was making excuses to go out for breakfast when I cooked the same thing for a month straight?"

"Mom, it was my brother. He was complaining to me at that time, saying he was so sick of eating the same thing all the time that he wanted to barf."

Hudson: "Cecilia!"

She betrayed him!

Becca shot her son a dirty look. "Now let me see you barf."

"Mom, I love your cooking; I really do. You make the best food. Cecilia, don't talk nonsense."


Hudson said, grinning at Becca, then quickly grabbed a piece of toast and a glass of milk from the table and rushed out.

Becca tried to smack his hand with a utensil, but missed.

"Haha, you missed."

Hudson walked out, breakfast in hand, looking smug. He was running late for work.
