Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 382

"Cecilia, why don't you consider dating? If you get a new boyfriend, Owen will finally give up."

Cecilia sipped her coffee, "Why should I sacrifice myself for Owen?"

"Aren't you trying to reject Owen? This way he'll definitely move on."

"I didn't exactly reject Owen. I'm simply testing the waters. If it doesn't feel right, I'm not going to dive in."

Olina immediately uttered, "It's not right. You two definitely aren't good to each other."

Cecilia stayed silent, sipping her coffee.

She glanced at the silent man who had just walked in and was heading directly towards them.

Olina was unaware that her son had entered, still in the middle of her long-winded speech, laying out all the reasons why Cecilia and her son were not a good match for each other.

"Mom!"

Owen called out coldly.

Was getting a wife really this hard?

With Avery as his love rival, his mother holding him back, and the Yates family's disapproval, Owen was truly experiencing the extreme difficulty in chasing someone he loved. It was so hard!

Olina flinched at Owen's call, hastily turning her attention to her son. Seeing his grim face, Olina felt a sudden pang of unease and stuttered, "Owen, what are you doing here?" "Mom, I told you. What happens between Cecilia and me is none of your business."

Owen noticed a check on the table and picked it up.

Olina was too late to stop him.

After seeing the amount, Owen's face turned even darker. However, he was glaring at Cecilia, gritting his teeth, "Are you trying to make a deal again?"

"I can't make any deal related to you since we don't have connections. I can only watch as millions slip through my fingers. It's heartbreaking!"

Cecilia even made a pained expression as if she had just cut off a piece of her own flesh.
