Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 325

The guy who answered the door was none other than Kevin Yates.

He’d barely stepped foot back in the house, hadn’t even sat down when the doorbell rang. So, he got up to answer it.

Seeing a group of people standing at the door, Kevin stood there, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Owen, polite as ever, handsome face graced with a smile, called through the peephole, "Dad."

Kevin was speechless.

"Dad, I’m your son-in-law. I’ve brought some stuff for you guys. Could you open the door? Our hands are kind of full.”

Kevin stared at Owen and his entourage of bodyguards for a moment, then turned to yell into the house, "Cecilia, get out here!"

Owen claimed to be his son-in-law, but he only had one daughter--Cecilia.

But Cecilia didn’t even have a boyfriend. Where did this man calling him dad come from?

Although Cecilia had hidden herself away at home, she was still incredibly on edge.

She was constantly worried that Owen would show up at her house, even though Lucy had assured her that Owen wouldn’t dare. But she still feared that Owen might impulsively come looking for her.

She was constantly on alert for any signs of trouble outside.

When she heard the doorbell ring, it sent her heart racing.

In less than two minutes, she heard her father’s calls and knew something was wrong.

Owen had come after her.

"Mom, I’m feeling really hot, and I’m all sweaty. I’m going to take a shower. Could you go see what Dad want?" Cecilia quickly excused herself and left.

"We’re about to eat. Why are you taking a shower now? Your father was calling for you. Why are you running off? Did you do something wrong, and now someone's came to complain?" Becca asked, confused.

"Cecilia! Get out here!" Kevin’s voice became louder and louder.

Hearing the anger in her husband's voice, Becca hurriedly told Devon, "Dad, you start eating. I'll go see what's going on."

"Alright." Devon continued eating his dinner calmly.

"Honey, why are you yelling so loud? You’re disturbing the neighbors."

As Becca scolded her husband, she stepped outside, only to be taken aback by the sight at the front door. She asked her husband, "What was going on?"

Seeing Becca, Owen grinned and called, "Mom."

Becca was stunned.

She tugged at her ear and asked Owen, "Mr. Martinez, I remembered you. What did you just call me?"

"Mom, you’ve got good eyes. I’m your son-in-law, Owen."

Becca was stunned. Son-in-law!

"Hold on, Mr. Martinez. Don’t call me mom just yet. Can you explain what's going on? Are you here to propose to my daughter?"

So this was why he was calling her mom?

"Mom, can you let me in first? We can talk about it inside."

Seeing the group of bodyguards behind Owen, all of them loaded down with stuff, Becca had no choice but to open the door and let them in.

"Thanks, mom." After calling her mom once, Owen found it a lot easier to do it again.
