Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 458

Cecilia had no clue that Owen's parents were planning to pop by with a marriage proposal that day.

As she stepped out in the morning, she found Owen waiting at her front door, umbrella in hand.

"Why didn't you come in?"

Cecilia, also holding an umbrella, casually asked him, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Just got here, haven't eaten yet. I'll have my assistant grab me something on the way back to the office."

Owen gestured for Cecilia to close her umbrella as he tilted his towards her, "Come on, I'll give you a ride to work. The rain's let up a bit, but it's not stopped, and the buses are a nightmare in this weather." They had been together the previous night, so naturally, she hadn't ridden her electric scooter home.

That's why he had come early to drive her to work.

"You'll be starved by the time you get back to the office."

As she spoke, she walked alongside him. "I'll pick up some breakfast for you. But you know, the breakfast joints around here are all about muffins and breakfast burritos."

With one hand holding the umbrella and the other wrapped around her, Owen drew her closer to his side, shielding her from the rain. The umbrella was angled over her.

"As long as it's from you, I'll eat whatever. Go for the muffins, and maybe some soy latte? I remember you once got me muffins and soy latte."

Back then, he had been starving, and Ruby could not care less if he had eaten or not, only complaining that he wasn't there to see her.

But Cecilia, even while nagging him, knew he'd skipped breakfast and would still pick up some muffins and a hot soy latte for him.

Perhaps it was those little gestures that made him feel her warmth, and gradually, he found himself falling for her.

Cecilia glanced at him and laughed, "People would say I'm torturing you. You're the big CEO of the Ikella Group, worth billions. And here I am, offering you breakfast in the form of dollar muffins." "I think the muffins you buy taste great. Haven't you heard the saying 'love makes a simple meal taste like a feast"?"

Cecilia was silent.
