Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 163

Stefan said, "I wish you'd cook mainly for me; they're just a side note."

Lucinda laughed and responded, "They might be my own mom and brother."

She continued, "We're a married couple; we're going to spend our whole lives together. I've got a lifetime to cook for you. But my parents and my brother can only taste my cooking now and then; stop being so stingy."

Lucinda's words made Stefan's displeasure vanish into thin air.

Because she had said they would have a lifetime together.

"Lucy, I'm going to accompany you home often."

Stefan made a promise.

Lucinda laughed and said, "You're so busy with work, you don't have to accompany me every time."

"In my eyes, my wife's matters are the most important."

Lucinda looked at him. Stefan felt as if she was hinting at something. He couldn't help but pull Lucinda into his arms, wanting to kiss her.

But Lucinda blocked him, not letting him succeed.

"Go do your morning exercises; stop messing around here."

Lucinda pushed this man, who was always looking for a chance to kiss her, out of the kitchen.

Stefan wasn't angry; he laughed and went to the gym.

When he returned from the gym, Lucinda had already prepared breakfast.

She had made soup and filled two big bowls into thermos containers. These were for Janice in the hospital.

Apart from the soup, she had put a little bit of everything she made for breakfast into the thermos containers. In total, she used five containers.

"Lucy, who are all these for?" Savannah asked curiously.

Lucinda responded, "Yesterday evening, when we were coming back, we almost hit a woman. The driver braked immediately; we didn't hit her, but she got scared and fell over, getting hurt. She's in the hospital now; we're going to visit her."

"Is she badly injured?" Savannah asked with concern, "We need to remind all our drivers to be careful."

An accident would be very unfortunate.

"She scraped both her hands; the scratches are quite bad."

"Well, that's not too bad then. You're going to visit her. Did you call the police? Was it your fault?"

"We didn't call the police. The woman was out of her mind; we can't say it was totally our fault, but we can't blame her completely either. I said we would cover the medical expenses."

Lucinda hadn't said the truth yet, that the woman might be her birth mother.

And she had already encountered danger twice. Although she hadn't been harmed, she knew that her real family must have some issues. As the long-lost daughter, she might not be welcome, and many people might not want her to return.

Before she could clarify these matters, Lucinda didn't want to say too much.

Savannah said, "We can't blame her then; we'll cover the medical expenses and compensate her a bit after she's discharged."

Lucinda nodded.

Stefan came down from upstairs, already dressed in a suit. But he hadn't tied his tie, which he was holding in his hand. He hadn't even buttoned up his suit.

Lucinda placed a bowl of soup at his seat, and noticing that he hadn't buttoned up or tied his tie, she went over.

"Why didn't you even button up?"

Lucinda said while buttoning up his suit for him. She took the tie from his hand, tied it for him, adjusted his collar, took a step back, looked him up and down, her eyes filled with amusement, and complimented, "My husband is really handsome, so charming."

After the compliment, realizing there were two elders present, Lucinda immediately blushed and quickly returned to her seat.

The two elders looked on with amusement.

Stefan, who just received some tender loving care, sat next to Lucinda, looked at the bowl of soup, and whispered into Lucinda's ear, "Is this the last bowl of soup?"
