Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 113

Lucinda refused to accept the money that Madison was offering, so Madison put it away.

Stefan brought out a bowl of porridge, and Madison kindly said, "Stefan, you and Lucy enjoy your meal. I'm going to the vegetable garden."

"Okay, granny."

Then Madison called Mason to go along with her.

Soon, only Stefan and Lucinda were left at home.

"Can you get used to our breakfast?"

Lucinda remembered the first time she went to his villa at Diamond Ridge Estates, the breakfast was very abundant and tasty.

It was completely different from the simple breakfast at her home.

"I can get used to it, I'm not picky."

Stefan affectionately ruffled her hair and said, "Lucy, you guys don't need to worry that I'll look down on your lifestyle. I won't, not at all."

Lucinda smiled, "As long as you can get used to it."

If he couldn't adjust to her lifestyle, their marriage would eventually fall apart.

After breakfast, Lucinda took out the electric bike her mom usually used to go shopping and smiled at Stefan, "Honey, let me give you a lift to the town for groceries."

Stefan walked over, took the helmet from her, put it on, then picked her up and placed her on the back seat, seating himself in front.

"I'll ride."

"It's an electric bike."

"I can handle it."

Lucinda immediately remembered their first time going to a party together. She was dressed in the evening gown he had given her, looking beautiful, but riding on the back of the bike, attracting lots of attention.

"Okay, you ride it."

"Hold onto me."

Lucinda hesitated for a moment, then, she wrapped her arms around Stefan's waist from behind.

Satisfied, Stefan started the bike.

Meanwhile, at Ascend Global.

Megan, dressed elegantly and adorned with many jewels, looked opulent.

She was holding a Hermès, wearing high heels, and gracefully entered the Ascend Global office building.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

Two receptionists politely greeted and stopped Megan.

Megan replied with a smile, "I'm Megan, I'm looking for your CEO, is he here?"

"Hello, our CEO didn't come to the office today. You can come another day, but you'll need an appointment. Our CEO generally doesn't meet with women who aren't clients or relatives."

Megan knew finding Stefan wouldn't be easy. Hearing the receptionist's words, she said, "My husband and the Anderson family are old friends. I watched Stefan grow up."

The receptionist still politely said, "The rules here are as such, since you're not his relative, so..."

The receptionist didn't go on, but Megan understood.

Even if she scheduled an appointment according to the rules, she wouldn't be able to see Stefan.

Because she was neither Stefan's relative nor his client.

"Do you know where Stefan is?"

"Sorry, we're just the receptionists, we don't know Stefan's whereabouts."
