Faux Vows, True Desires

Stefan modestly remarked, "Our family lives by the motto 'happy home, prosperous life'." Everyone could utter the words 'happy home, prosperous life', but they couldn't fulfill this.

Hayes nodded silently, and then voiced his agreement, "Indeed, you've managed to build a real 'happy home, prosperous life'. There are folks who could hang that motto in their living room, stare at it every day, but they could never truly achieve it."

People would often kick up a fuss over minor disagreements or petty gains.

The irony was palpable. The embroidered motto hanging in the living room, a daily sight of endless squabbles and disputes.

Hayes was determined to marry a good woman and start a family. After all, a good woman was said to bring fortune for three generations. He would nurture his children, taking a leaf out of the Anderson family's book, to uphold the good family traditions of the Dewey family.

Only such a family could prosper.

The Dewey lineage was dwindling, with Hayes the only one left of his generation. The burden he bore was not just the revival of the Dewey family, but also to expand its family tree. However, he had yet to find his significant other.

Hearing her cousin lavishing praises on Stefan, Lucinda felt a sense of pride.

She truly had struck gold.

She was incredibly lucky to be treated so sincerely by Stefan.

Hearing familiar footsteps, Stefan turned his head and saw Lucinda at the kitchen entrance. His eyes were gentle, a smile graced his lips, and his voice was warm, "Darling, good morning. Breakfast will be ready soon."

Hayes turned to his cousin and complimented, "Lucy, Stefan is a great guy. You're a lucky woman."

Lucinda laughed, "Thank you for the compliment, Hayes. I do believe I'm fortunate."

Kidnapped by a villain when she was only six months old, separated from her parents, she was incredibly lucky to have been found by the Moore family. She took the place of their daughter, growing up healthy and happy in the Moore family. After marrying Stefan, she felt her luck improved even more when she found her biological parents.
