Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 154

After work, a man stepped out of the company doors to see the woman he loved standing there with a big bouquet of flowers, quietly waiting for him to finish work.

What's that feeling like?

Well, that's bliss.

Stefan had never been so fond of flowers before.

Especially the ones his wife gave him.

Under the watchful eyes of many employees, Stefan strode towards Lucinda.

Everyone thought that the usually calm Mr. Coleman was walking a bit hastily, as if he wanted to rush to his wife.

"Mr. Coleman is so handsome!"

"He's so charming, even more so than a movie star."

Many people had never seen Stefan before, but now, thanks to the appearance of Mr. Coleman's wife, they got to see him in person.

He's just as handsome and elegant as the rumors say, not at all like the stern CEO.

Instead, he gave off a deep and warm vibe.

Word had it that Mr. Coleman's mood was hard to read.

Sometimes cold, sometimes warm.

But when it came to his wife, he's always on his warm and kind side.

It's really enviable.

"His wife is also very beautiful; she and Mr. Coleman are a match made in heaven."

"She must've done some good deeds in her past life to be able to marry such a great man like Mr. Coleman. If Mr. Coleman could just glance at me, I'd be over the moon."

In many people's eyes, Lucinda was just too lucky because her brother and Mr. Coleman were classmates, so she was able to marry Mr. Coleman.

Considering her background, she's not actually worthy of Mr. Coleman.

"You're daydreaming."

Lucinda can't hear these hushed whispers, but she knew that whenever she appeared here, other women looked at her with envy and sometimes even jealousy.

She accepted these looks with grace.

"Lucy, why didn't you come in?"

When Stefan got to his wife, he pulled out a pack of tissues and helped Lucinda wipe off her sweat.

"I'm not hot; it's already evening; it's not that hot."

Lucinda said, but she still let him gently help her wipe her sweat.

After he's done wiping her sweat, she handed him the bunch of flowers and said with a smile, "I came to pick you up from work, passed by a flower shop, saw these beautiful flowers, so I bought a bunch to give to you. I hope you're always as happy as you are now, smiling as beautifully as a blooming flower."

Stefan took the bouquet and smiled. "I'm a man, you can't describe me being as beautiful as a flower."

"But I think you're very beautiful, like a god from heaven."

Hearing his wife compliment his looks, Stefan smiled even brighter.

"How's the renovation in the store?"

"It'll be done in a few days."

That's the place that Ruby smashed and needed to be rebuilt.

The driver drove the car over.

Stefan got in the car with his wife, and the car took them away from Ascend Global.

In the car, they got even more intimate. Lucinda leaned on Stefan's shoulder, and Stefan wrapped his arm around her.

He liked her leaning on him.

"Stefan."

"I prefer it when you call me 'dear'."

"I have something to tell you."

Stefan responded.

"Cecilia and Owen were forced to register for marriage."

Stefan just responded.

He didn't show any surprise.

Lucinda looked up at him and said, "Did you know already?"

"I could guess; I just didn't think it would happen so soon, but considering the timing, I think it's quite normal. Ruby should show up soon."
