Faux Vows, True Desires

Cecilia looked at her family, all eyes on her.

Then, she glanced at Owen, his smile so dazzling that she couldn't bear to refuse him.

After a moment of thought, she said, "Actually, I already have the two types of flowers I like the most. You don't need to send me any more."

"Which two types of flowers do you love the most?" Owen hurriedly asked.

Knowing the enemy was key to victory, and the same rule applied when wooing a woman. By knowing what she loved, he could quickly win her heart.

Knowing her favorite flowers, he promised to send them to her every day.

Cecilia cheekily picked up his stack of cash and said, "Guess for yourself. If you can guess correctly, then we might have some sort of psychic connection. If not, then forget it."

Then, she loudly exclaimed, "Although the cash flowers look nice, please stop buying these useless things. I need to go now."

Owen was puzzled. He was using real money, so why did it suddenly turn into useless things?

After a moment of confusion, he quickly figured it out.

The sentence Cecilia said aloud was for her family to hear, so they wouldn't think that she was won over by his money.

Hudson, hearing his sister's proclamation, choked back a response. He wanted to say that the cash flowers Owen gave were all real. He had even disassembled a bouquet last night and counted quite a sum of money.

However, he ultimately chose not to expose his sister's lie.

The three elders of the Yates family looked at each other, and finally, Devon spoke.

"Owen, come here."

Owen quickly returned and stood by Devon's side, bending slightly, "Grandpa, what's up?"

"I'm Mr. Yates, please use my surname before calling me grandpa."

"Alright."
