Faux Vows, True Desires

"Where did you spend the night?" Cecilia asked Owen, trying to grasp at straws.

Like Stefan, Owen owned a ton of properties. He usually picked the one closest to his company for convenience.

The place wasn't too far from the city hall.

"I was at home. I had to tell my grandpa about the divorce," Owen said.

Owen had hoped his grandpa would step in to stop their divorce. But to his surprise, despite having insisted on him getting married, Grandpa just looked at him with an obvious disapproval when he announced the divorce.

Maybe it's because he failed to keep Cecilia.

Owen felt devastated; even his grandpa didn't have his back.

"Owen, are you doing this on purpose? It's an hour's drive from your house to the city hall. You, on the other hand, rode a bike. By the time you got there, the city hall was closed."

Riding a bike would take up more time.

Cecilia didn't understand why these wealthy people liked to live in the suburbs.

The Martinez family lived in a huge mansion located in the suburbs, which was too far from the city.

She had no say in where they wanted to live, but right now, she felt so annoyed.

"Everyone in the city knows my license plate. Do you want us to divorce in a high-profile manner? If you don't mind, I can go to the city hall with all guns blazing. We'll be the talk of the town tomorrow," Owen said.

Cecilia was stunned for a while.

"Check if there are any restaurants or coffee shops near the city hall. Have something to eat. I left early in the morning and rode for so long. I'm tired, hungry, and thirsty. I need to find a place to eat." Cecilia was speechless.
