Faux Vows, True Desires

"Olina didn't indeed fancy me even a bit. In her mind, the perfect daughter-in-law was always Ruby Scott. When Lucy unearthed some of Ruby's past, I bet my former mother-in-law was cursing Lucy and her

husband for meddling."

After all, had Ruby's past remained hidden, Olina would still view her as a good girl.

The perfect daughter-in-law in Olina's eyes was ruined by the actions of the Coleman couple.

"The Martinez family and the Anderson family have always been at odds. Lucy is the wife of the Anderson family's oldest son. From the fact of being her close friend, Mrs. Martinez would never like me." Hudson advised, "Since you're aware of this, you should keep your distance from Owen."

"I haven't been throwing myself at him. He's the one who's been pursuing me. Although I don't turn him down directly, I haven't accepted him either. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Cecilia was unfazed by Olina's disapproval.

However, the idea of constantly engaging in family politics after marrying into the family was exhausting and unappealing. She didn't want to live such a life.

So, accepting or rejecting Owen required serious thought.

Seeing her still unswayed by Owen's sweet words and charm, Hudson was somewhat relieved.

Owen walked in, holding a bouquet of money roses, attracting the attention of everyone in the café.

His eyes only saw Cecilia, ignoring everyone else.

With the large bouquet of money roses in hand, he strode towards Cecilia.

Upon seeing Hudson, Owen was taken aback but quickly greeted him respectfully, "Hudson, you're here too."
