Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 207

Owen frowned and said, "This ain't Lucinda's doing, it's,"

He took a pointed look at Megan, then said coldly, "Ruby went to Stefan's villa in Diamond Ridge Estates to see him, but he wouldn't see her. Then she ran into the princess of the Dewey family, who also has a thing for Stefan, and they had a catfight out of jealousy."

Olina immediately looked at Megan.

Megan opened her mouth, trying to defend her daughter, but found herself lost for words.

Her face turned sour.

Feeling disappointed, she sighed, "That kid is such a letdown; I need to give her a good talk when I get home."

"Olina, Owen, I need to head back."

Megan felt she had lost face and didn't want to stay any longer.

Her daughter's behavior had made her furious.

Even though she had had a heart-to-heart with her daughter and her daughter had agreed to behave, the minute Megan left, Ruby went out to find Stefan.

She was livid!

Neither Owen nor Olina tried to keep Megan.

When Megan left, Olina looked at her son's indifferent, handsome face, at a loss for what to say.

She didn't think much of Cecilia, considering her unworthy of her son.

Ruby was her favorite. She had her heart set on Ruby being with her son, but Ruby still had eyes for Stefan.

Ruby was treating her son like a backup option!

Olina was feeling pretty upset.

For the first time, she felt that Ruby was really out of line!

"Mom, is there anything else?"

"Owen."

"Mom, save it. I'm an adult; I'm 29. I can handle my own matters."

Olina sighed. "Owen, you're really having a hard time."

Owen loved Ruby but couldn't have her.

He didn’t want to marry Cecilia, either.

Her son was indeed having a tough time!

"Mom, I still have work to do."

"I know; I won't bother you anymore; I'll leave now."

Feeling sorry for her son, Olina grabbed her bag and left.

Finally getting rid of the two tattletales, Owen took a deep breath, rubbing his temples with a headache.

Walter knocked and came in.

Owen looked up at him as he walked over.

"How badly is Ruby hurt?"

This was the first time Owen hadn't rushed over right after getting a call from Ruby.

"Just some minor injuries. A bit swollen in the face. When women fight, it's mostly slapping, hair pulling, biting, and pinching."

Walter's words were filled with a touch of sarcasm.

"Did she say anything about me?"

Walter paused before saying, "She asked me why you didn't come see her. I told her you didn't get any rest last night and were exhausted. She then questioned why you couldn't sleep, then seemed to remember something but didn't finish her sentence."

Owen seemed to go a bit pale.
