Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 337

Cecilia paused, turning back to look at him.

Seeing his handsome face filled with a conflicted expression, it seemed like he had made up his mind.

"Let's go, let's get this done. We've got about ten minutes, if we hurry, we should be able to get all the paperwork sorted."

Owen hung his half-eaten burger along with the bag on the front of his bike.

He took out the marriage certificate and all the necessary documents, grabbed Cecilia's hand, and led her into the city hall.

His mind had been elsewhere during his previous two visits to that place.

He hoped that his third visit would be filled with joy.

And it would be the last time!

When they exited the city hall, they were single again.

The past of being forced into marriage evaporated the moment they received the divorce papers.

For others, divorce might mean an end.

But for Owen and Cecilia, divorce wasn't an end, but a new beginning.

Looking at the much more relaxed Cecilia, Owen suddenly realized that this divorce was like untying a knot in her heart, lifting a burden off her shoulders.

If he truly loved her, he had to make her happy.

Their lives were still long, and he was confident that he could marry her again!

"Cecilia."

As Cecilia was about to head to the bus stop, Owen called out to her.

"What's up?"

Owen smiled at her. His smile was as warm as the spring breeze and almost made Cecilia's heart flutter.

She teasingly said, "Don't flash that charming smile. You know you're handsome, and you're even more attractive when you smile. You could make anyone swoon."

"Can I make you swoon?"

"Not yet. I've seen a lot in my life. Your smile can't affect my mood yet. Try harder, maybe one day you'll make my heart flutter."

Owen laughed and proposed to spend some time together in peace, "Forget about the bus. I'll take you on my bike. Let's find a place nearby to eat first, then we can leisurely head home. Consider it a breather."

"Owen, we just got divorced."

"Yes, we're free now, but I also said that we're going to start anew. From the moment we step out of the city hall, I'm going to pursue you. Cecilia, if you want a romantic date, I'll give it to you. If you want to enjoy the sweetness of being pursued, I'll grant you that too. Just talking about things we can do is valueless. I'll prove it to you through my actions."

Cecilia was left speechless.

"Alright, let's go eat then."

Cecilia wasn't one to play hard to get.

She said that she would give him a chance, and she would.

Giving him a chance was also giving herself a chance.

Owen rode his bike over. He sat on it, smiling at Cecilia, gesturing to her to hop on.

Cecilia hopped on.

He started pedaling, taking her forward.

"Riding a bike to get a divorce. After the divorce, riding a bike to take your ex-wife home. Owen, we're one of a kind."

While pedaling, Owen responded, "As long as you know."
