Faux Vows, True Desires

"Mum, no way. Keith will definitely get married and have kids."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Lucinda, although worried that her brother would not want to get married because of their parents' marriage, could only reassure her mother. Stefan also chimed in with some comforting words.

At that moment, Janice's cellphone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, she smiled at Lucinda and Stefan, "It's your brother calling."

Janice answered the call.

"Mom."

Keith began with an apology, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. I just got free now."

Since their father had been called back home by Pete Blue and had not returned to the office, Keith had been left in charge of all important matters at the Blue Corporation.

The corporation was so huge that even just dealing with important paperwork could keep him so busy he didn't even have time to drink water.

"It's alright. I wasn't waiting. I just woke up from a nap and received your call. Keith, don't tire yourself out too much. Take care of your health. That's the most important thing." Janice showed concern for her son.

She didn't want her son to know that she had been waiting for his call.

"Mom, I will. Is Lucy back yet?"

Keith casually asked about his younger sister.

Technically, there weren't many topics for him to talk with Janice about. Having grown up under the strict supervision of his father and the eccentricity of his mother, he never really experienced normal familial affection. Now that his mother was back to normal and he was an adult, capable of handling his affairs, their phone calls were mostly about everyday life.
