Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 256

Seeing Cecilia coughing badly, Owen's first instinct was to go up and lightly pat her on the back.

But just as he was about to move, he saw Cecilia's mother gently patting her daughter's back while saying, "Take it easy; no one's competing with you for the drink, and no one's cracking jokes; how can you still choke?"

Owen quietly backed off the step he was about to take.

"Mom, I'm fine." Cecilia finally recovered after coughing for a good while.

Taking advantage of her mom's distraction, she shot Owen a deadly glare.

She nearly choked on her milk because of him!

Owen silently accepted her stare.

He felt a little wronged. They were married now; what was wrong with him being friendly towards her mother?

He thought he was doing nothing wrong.

If Cecilia knew his thoughts, she would throw a fit.

Who was it that made her give up years of her youth to repay a favor?

Who said they were only having a sham marriage?

Who told her not to fall in love with him?

Since it was a sham marriage and they weren't a real couple, they should be polite but not overly affectionate!
