Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 406

Owen scowled darkly, "Mom, Ruby doesn't love me, no matter how good I am to her, it's pointless. You think I care about her deceit? My heart's been shattered, completely chilled to the core. Don't compare Ruby to Cecilia; they're in different leagues. Cecilia's irreplaceable in my heart, and Ruby doesn't even come close."

After the mother and son fell silent, Trenton glanced at Olina and dropped a bombshell, "The biggest mistake I ever made was agreeing to Shane marrying you."

Olina was stunned.

"Owen, I've said it before, I intervened in your marriage once, and I won't do it again. From now on, you call the shots in your love life. If anyone tries to stop you, stand up to them and fight for your happiness." Trenton made himself clear, mainly because Owen had fallen for Cecilia.

Had Owen still been smitten with Ruby, Trenton's tune would've been far from so enlightened.

"Thanks, Grandpa."

"And no more talk of becoming a hermit, but if you truly see through the world's illusions and decide to renounce everything, even then, I'd support you."

That last comment was directed at his daughter-in-law.

He knew her well - her obsession with status and prestige.

If Owen truly renounced the world to become a hermit, it would be a blow straight to her heart.

By then, whether Owen married Cecilia or a beggar off the streets, Olina would be begging for it to happen.

"Anyway, Owen, I've got more than one grandchild. The Martinez family won't be lacking heirs. Harry, come with me for a bit."

With that, Trenton and Harry left the room.
