Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 359

Lucinda's smile was as radiant as a bouquet of fresh flowers.

She never thought that Stefan's gesture of gifting flowers would surpass Owen's.

In fact, there was truth in what he said.

The sea of flowers that Owen had arranged, after a whole day under the scorching sun, could literally be used as firewood.

The flowers that Stefan had gifted her, however, were potted plants. All they needed was regular watering, fertilization, and the loosening of their soil. They would bloom year after year, making them a lasting gift.

When Tiffany, who had come to do Lucinda's makeup, saw the sea of flowers, she was in awe. When she found out that they were a gift from Stefan, she shot a sideways glance at Liam, who had accompanied her.

"Why is it that Stefan, out of all your siblings, is the only one who's exceptional? You, on the other hand, are like a log. Even if I kicked you twice, you'd only flip over once, incapable of even rolling."

Liam was at a loss. "What did I do wrong?"

Was he really that inferior to his older brother?

All ten siblings in their family were bright and accomplished.

Seeing that Liam was clueless about the obvious, Tiffany left him in a huff and went over to Lucinda.

Liam, sensing that Tiffany's mood had changed, was bewildered. He had never noticed before how quickly Tiffany's moods could change.

"Lucy, let me finish my job first, and then you can continue enjoying your flowers."

Tiffany's temper quickly cooled down. By the time she approached Lucinda and her husband, she was back to her usual self.

"Alright."

Worried about being late, Lucinda quickly followed Tiffany into the house.

After the two ladies had left, Liam walked over to his brothers.

"What was up with Tiffany just now? What did I do wrong again? She's always praising Stefan while putting me down. I wouldn't stand for it if it were anyone else. I'd have to fight them."

Campbell wanted to say something, but Eric pulled him back. Campbell looked at his brother and saw him making gestures, so he swallowed his words.

Stefan, tired of explaining things to his clueless little brother, said dismissively, "Think about it yourself."

Then he turned around and went back inside.

Liam was left speechless.

Hayes, who was a guest and unaware of the backstory, tried to help Liam understand. "Liam, I think Ms. Tiffany might be envious. Aren't you and Ms. Tiffany a couple? Could it be that you've never given her flowers?"

Without thinking, Liam replied, "With so many flowers at home, why should I give her more? She can pick any flower she likes."

Hayes was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Even a man like you can have a woman who likes you. That's something us single guys would be envious of."

Feeling a little proud, Liam said, "Tiffany and I have known each other since we were children."
