Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 102

"The 'he' Trenton was referring to was Owen's dad, Shane."

"Alright."

The butler immediately started to act according to Trenton's instructions.

An hour later, Trenton had changed into casual old man's clothes and, accompanied by the butler, "ran away from home."

Shane wanted to inquire about his father's whereabouts, but the butler didn't answer. He didn't dare to directly ask his father, so he could only suppress his curiosity and chat with his wife a bit.

"Having dad out of the house is even better, this house is all ours now."

As for Trenton's "running away," Olina was overjoyed. Without Trenton around, everyone else had to follow their orders.

"Honey, Megan is on her flight back now. She should arrive at Pinehurst International Airport around eight tonight. Will you accompany me to pick her up?"

Olina was so happy partly because Megan was coming back. She had once assured Megan that she would have Megan move in the Martinez family. If Trenton were home, she would have to consult with him about this. Trenton had never liked Ruby, nor Megan. He would definitely not agree, which would make her feel embarrassed in front of Megan. Now, with Trenton not at home, she could call the shots and keep Megan.

Shane frowned, "She can totally come back on her own. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to pick her up? She has her daughter here, and the Scott family in the country has butlers and drivers. There's no need for us to pick her up."

"We're such good friends, what's wrong with picking her up at the airport? I've already promised her. You can't make me back out now."

Shane helplessly said, "Alright."

"By the way, I also told Megan that, since their family is planning a renovation at their place, and we're so close, I invited her and Ruby to stay with us for a while. After Ruby gets out, she can move in with us as well. This way, Owen can get closer to them."

Shane frowned again, "Honey, even if the Scott family is planning a renovation, they can stay at a hotel. It is not like they are broke. I heard from Owen that the Scott family hasn't even started the renovation yet, Ruby is still living with them. Dad is out meeting friends, but that doesn't mean he won't ever come back. When he does and sees that you invited Ruby and Megan to live with us, he will be mad."

Shane didn't really like Ruby and Megan either. But unfortunately, his wife and son were both fond of Ruby. His wife and Megan had known each other for decades and their relationship was very good.

In Shane's eyes, Ruby wanted to marry Stefan but also couldn't let go of his son, which was exactly like Megan. Megan was continually praising both his wife and Stefan's mother, not wishing to abandon either, but rather to garner support from both.

Because in the whole of Pinehurst, his wife and Stefan's mother are the most prominent among the wives. Stefan's mother didn't care about status when making friends, but she was much smarter than his wife. She would never do anything that would damage her son's reputation.

"Once dad comes back, I'll have them move to a hotel. Sweetheart, let's just decide on this."

Shane was silent for a moment, then said, "Just do whatever you want. But remember, we agreed that once dad comes back, you will have them move out."

Olina laughed, "Of course."

She was also afraid of her father-in-law. If she angered him, they would be the ones to suffer.

Shane was right about Megan. After contacting Olina, she also contacted Stefan's mother.

But Stefan's mother was still traveling with her husband, so even though Megan said she was coming back, Stefan's mother just laughed it off, said a few polite words, and then nothing more.

Megan shamelessly used Ruby's past excuse of needing home renovation to suggest if she could temporarily stay with the Anderson family. Stefan's mother directly refused her, saying that the house was now Stefan's and without his consent, she couldn't let outsiders live in their Ascend Estate. Megan was so angry that she was shaking, but she couldn't vent in front of Stefan's mother.

As for the elder's affairs, Lucinda didn't know, nor did she know that because of her, Cecilia was targeted by Trenton. She spent the afternoon writing updates for her new novel. Right after she finished writing, her mother called her downstairs for dinner.
