Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 281

Nathan was staring at Stefan.

Janice and Lucinda were also staring directly at him.

The air conditioning in the café was already on, but Stefan was still feeling hot like he was about to break a sweat.

He sought help with his eyes from Lucinda, not knowing which side to take.

Lucinda subtly pointed at her mother.

"Janice, how much money do you need? I'll go get it right now."

Stefan instantly chose a side.

His wife hinted for him to side with her mother, and he remembered what Nathan had once told him which was to always listen to his wife.

So, that was what he did.

Nathan's eyes bulged upon hearing Stefan's decision, glaring at him.

Stefan and Nathan locked eyes, Stefan with an innocent look on his face.

Nathan was so frustrated by his innocent look that he was almost spitting blood.

"Get as much as you can, as long as it's more than him."

"Alright."


Stefan was about to turn and leave, but after thinking for a moment, he turned back to his wife and said, "Honey, I'm a bit scared to withdraw so much money all by myself, afraid that I might get robbed. Can you please come with me?"

Lucinda quickly replied, "I'm also not comfortable with you withdrawing so much money alone. I'll go with you. I'm strong, I can help you carry a whole box of money."

The couple swiftly left that place.
