Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 480

Janice peered at her son's face, her eyes searching for signs of deception as she asked him yet again about the girl. She could tell Keith wasn't lying.

With a hint of disappointment, she said, "It's a shame you've met a girl you actually admire, and you don't even have a foot in the door yet."

Then, brightening up, she added, "No worries, just keep seeing her. Who knows, sparks might fly eventually. I have this feeling you two might just end up together."

Keith let out a long sigh. "Mom, how can I keep seeing her when I don't even know who she is or what she looks like? And what if she's married? She might have kids old enough to be raiding the cookie jar."

Janice was at a loss for words.

"Mom, I'm still young. There's no rush to settle down, especially with our family situation, which you're well aware of. I don't want to drag someone else's daughter into this mess. Give it a few years, and we'll see. And if you're itching for grandkids that bad, why don't you pester Lucy and Stefan to get a move on and have a baby?"

"I wouldn't mind being an uncle," Keith added with a playful grin.

Janice sighed, "I guess I'm the one getting ahead of myself. You're right,

considering the current state of our family, it might be better for you to wait a few more years to tie the knot."

"Mom, it's our family," Keith emphasized.

Janice fell silent, then said, "When I get back, I'll talk to your father about the divorce. If he refuses, I'll file for it myself."

"Mom, Dad's got his reasons," Keith tried to interject.

"I don't care about his reasons. He's neglected us for over two decades, left me to be ridiculed and tormented by that Kayla Ashley. Just thinking about all the years of hardship makes it impossible for me to forgive him."
