Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 305

Over yonder, Lucinda leaned into her hubby Stefan, sitting under a palm tree with a pair of binoculars in her hand, eyeing a couple of lovebirds on a rock. She then said to Stefan, "Looks like your nemesis is now smitten by my best friend."

Stefan planted a kiss on her lips, grinning as she said, "Isn't that what you've been rooting for?"

Lucinda put down her binoculars, wrapped an arm around his neck, and landed a smooch on him.

Stefan didn't resist; he even deepened the kiss.

After the lip-lock, the woman in his arms smelled as sweet as an orchid. He wanted to get closer, but she needed to rest for a week.

After her break, they had to wait another three days to start their lovey-dovey life again.

It was all for her sake; she needed enough recovery time after her "monthly visitor." Starting their intimate life too soon could harm her.

He loved her, so he gave her body enough rest.

He had waited for so long. A few more days wouldn't hurt.

"I don't know if Owen has really lost interest in Ruby this time."

"Judging by his reaction last night, he's totally over Ruby. He might have started to care about your friend or realized his feelings for Cecilia during his time with her." Stefan paused, then said, "In the past, whenever Ruby was involved, Owen would be all over the place, like a lovesick puppy. I should thank Ruby; without her, I might not always come out on top in my competition with Owen. Being head over heels for someone can make you blind."

Love was the easiest thing to make you lose your mind.

"If he didn't care about Cecilia, he wouldn't care where she goes. Only when you truly care about someone, would you get mad about her actions."

Stefan lightly pinched her face and said, "If you ever follow them to those places again, I won't let you off the hook like yesterday."

Lucinda quickly laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

"Humph!"

"I've found all the men there are not as handsome and gentlemanly as my hubby. I would be a fool to look at other men when I have such a handsome husband. I may do something stupid once, but never twice. Honey, let's just forget about it."

Lucinda sure knew how to survive.

"There are a lot of my photos in the new phone I gave you. When you want to see a handsome guy, just look at that phone. I guarantee you'll be thrilled."

Lucinda immediately took out the new phone from her pocket and retorted, "I didn't even notice there were photos in the album. Honey, do you have any pictures without clothes? Those are the ones that really excite me."

Stefan said, "You've seen them already, and I’m worried that constantly looking at those photos would get you too excited."

Lucinda burst out laughing.

Looking at the photos in the phone album, she said, "Honey, I never knew you were so fun. These photos are really good. From now on, I'll only look at you; I'll never look at other men again."

Hopefully, he wouldn't bring up last night's incident again.

"Owen also bought a brand-new phone for Cecilia. Though he only decided to do it after seeing me buy a new one." Stefan added.

Same phone, different prices.

The staff at the phone store were all the Anderson family's workers. They didn't dare to take Stefan’s money. He gave them the cost price, as he didn't want them to lose out.
