Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 371

"Mom and Dad are flying back soon, and I need to find some time tomorrow to buy them some things to take home. Uncles and aunts have been taking care of everything at home, we should send them something."

Ike Moore gave a nod, asking, "With your nine-to-five job, do you have time to go shopping? Or should I do it for you?"

"No need, if I can't find the time, I'll make a list and have Emma pick them up for me."

Ike chuckled, "That works."

His sister was now the young mistress of the Anderson family; she didn't need to personally handle the task of buying gifts.

"You didn't tell Mom about my situation, did you?"

Ike asked, wondering if his sister might have mentioned it to their mother.

Because lately, he hadn't received any more phone calls from his mother, pressuring him to get married.

"I told her. If I didn't, do you think you could live so peacefully? You've seen how relentlessly Mom used to nag me about marriage before. If she can't nag you, she'd nag me instead. I've been taking all the hits for you."

Ike quickly clinked his beer can against his sister's, "Oh, yes, thank you, little sister. I owe you one, sis. Cheers to you."

Lucinda giggled, "Back when Mom was relentlessly pushing me to get married, I thought I'd go crazy. But now, looking back, I felt that if Mom didn't pushed me so hard, Stefan and I might not have known how to start. He's a great guy, just not good with sweet words."

Ike chuckled, "Lucy, you have high standards. Every time I see you two together, I make myself scarce to avoid being overwhelmed with your lovey-dovey moments."

Lucinda laughed, "Is it it really that exaggerated?"

Thinking about how her man showed love through actions rather than words, she shrugged it off. After all, everyone had their own way of expressing love.

She realized she hadn't said too many sweet words to Stefan herself or given many gifts.
