Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 286

Yep, she was definitely hitched, and she was hitched to him!

Yes, they tied the knot secretly.

"Hey, gorgeous lady boss, I'm ready to pay up."

Avery gave Cecilia a wave. Cecilia was on her feet in a heartbeat.

Owen muttered, "Usually folks walk to the register to pay, but he's just sitting there expecting you to come over so that he can pay the bill."

"If this handsome dude calls for me, I'm more than happy to go. What's it to you? Quit cramping my style and go hang somewhere else!"

Cecilia walked past Owen. Owen saw her looking at the handsome man, all smiles and felt a sting in his heart. She was always so good to others but so cold to him, her husband! There was a stark contrast between her behavior with others and with her husband.

She only seemed happy when she was making a buck. The moment she got paid, her face changed.

Cecilia expressed her feelings, saying, "I just love the smell of cash."

Owen was speechless.

After Cecilia took Avery's money, she even walked him out, saying cheerily, "Mr. Cooper, we're always glad to have you."

Avery laughed, too. This girl was really cute, he thought, her smile was so natural, it made him feel at home.

"Your Serendipity Cafe really lives up to its name. Great coffee, great pastries, I really like it here. I'll be dropping by every day."

Cecilia was grinning from ear to ear, "Thanks for the compliment, have a great day."


Avery waved goodbye and then made his way to a sedan.

Soon, he was out of Cecilia's sight.

"He's long gone and you're still standing there grinning like an idiot."
