Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 373

"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

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.

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