Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 335

Campbell was in charge of Ascend Global's entertainment company. There was so much happening in the entertainment industry that he had got his plate full every day, leaving him no energy to worry about Lucinda anymore.

Stefan watched him leave, a frown on his face.

After giving it some thought, he texted his sweetheart, telling her to tell Cecilia that Owen would hurry to the city hall before his shift was over.

Then, quite strangely, he shot off a text to someone.

That someone was going to move heaven and earth to get Owen to the city hall to divorce Cecilia. If Owen didn't want to bug her, he'd go to city hall of his own accord and quickly, too.

That way, Owen wouldn't suspect a thing.

In the morning, Ruby, who had apologized to Lucinda with the media in tow, locked herself in her room after coming home, not seeing anyone.

Until she received a text from Stefan.

Ever since Stefan turned twelve, that was the first time he had initiated contact with her.

After going through Stefan's text, Ruby sprang into action.

She might not be able to find Owen, but she knew the route like the back of her hand.

From the Martinez family to downtown, she knew every inch of the way.

Owen might try to stall. He would definitely avoid the easy route and choose the longest one instead. If she followed that route, she was sure to find Owen and give him a ride.

At ten in the morning.

Owen stepped out of a coffee shop, satisfied.

He leisurely strolled, pushing his bike.

At that rate, the city hall staff would have surely finished their work hours by the time he got there.

He wanted to drag out the time as much as possible.

"Honk—honk—"

The blaring car horn broke Owen's leisurely mood. He turned around, ready to give a piece of his mind to the person honking incessantly. He was casually walking by the side of the road, not blocking anyone's way, so why the honking?

He was somewhat surprised when he saw a familiar car.

Why was Ruby there?

Ruby stepped on the gas, speeding past Owen and pulled up in front of him.

"Owen, what's up? Where are you headed? I can give you a lift,"

Ruby got out of the car and strolled over, talking in a friendly manner,

"Is there something wrong with your bike?"

Ruby inquired with concern, then muttered to herself, "You still like to cycle to keep fit."

"Why are you here?" Owen asked her with a cold glare.

"I was just passing by. I saw you and thought I was seeing things. But then I took a closer look and realized it was really you. Why are you here alone? Where's your bodyguard?"

Owen retorted coldly, "Can't I go out on my own? You can leave. My bike is fine. I don't need a ride."

With that, he mounted his bike and was about to leave.

Ruby grabbed onto the bike, trying to stop him from leaving, and said enthusiastically, "Owen, I would have left if I hadn't seen you. But now that I have, I must help you. Look at how bright the sun is shining; you'll be sweating buckets if you cycle back to town. Let me give you a ride."

Owen was not happy with her stopping the bike, "Ruby, let go!"

"I'll give you a lift, just put your bike in my trunk."

Ruby stubbornly held onto the bike.

Owen was cursing in his heart.

He didn’t expect to run into Ruby, and as she was trying to win him back, there was no way she was going to miss the opportunity to give him a ride.

If he had known earlier that he would run into Ruby, he wouldn't have cycled.

He was going to the city hall to divorce Cecilia. If Ruby took him there, there was no way he was going to be with Cecilia!

He wasn't going to let that happen.

"Ruby, let go. If you don't, I won't be polite!"

"Owen, how can you yell at me like this? You've never done this before."
