Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 365

"Mr. Martinez, Mrs. Martinez, Ms. Scott is here."

Jay suddenly came in from outside, informing the couple that Ruby had arrived.

Ruby had just parked her car.

Seeing Owen and his bodyguards at the Serendipity Cafe was no longer a surprise to Ruby. But, her heart still ached, filled with regret.

She wasn't there to see Cecilia or Lucinda, but Owen.

Ever since Owen gave up on her, it had become increasingly difficult for her to see him in private.

Visiting the Martinez family was out of the question. Olina didn't want to see her, and Mr. Martinez, who never liked her, was even less likely to welcome her.

Thus, she couldn't even cross the threshold of the Martinez family's residence.

If she went to the Ikella Group, in the past, she was treated like a queen with everyone bowing and scraping, fearing to offend her and lose their jobs.

But now, she had to register at the security office, and then be stopped by the receptionist, who would say that she needed to make an appointment to see Owen. The waiting list to see Owen was so long that she'd have to wait until the next year.

So, the Serendipity Cafe was her only option.

As long as Cecilia was there, Owen would definitely come.

Ruby had initially planned to wait there all day, but as soon as she arrived, she saw Owen's bodyguards and cars were already there.

And a brand-new luxury car.

Did Owen give it to Cecilia?

Right, whenever Owen liked someone, he loved to shower them with gifts.

A woman like Cecilia would probably be easily smitten by his generosity.

Ruby despised Cecilia in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't easily make a move against Cecilia and Lucinda now.

"What is she doing here? Didn't she say she was going to turn herself in after apologizing to Lucinda?"

Owen, who had just been all smiles, had his smile fade away when he heard Ruby was here. But he was watching Cecilia's reaction closely.

"Should we stop her, Mr. Martinez?"

"There's no need."

The one who answered was Cecilia.

"Cecilia."

Owen called her name seriously.

"You don't have to act cold in front of me. Just be yourself, that's the real you."

Cecilia didn't believe that Owen could let go of Ruby so easily.

Even if he said that he could easily cut his ties when he decided to, he had loved Ruby for more than a decade. How could he let go so quickly?

"I won't be jealous."

Cecilia added.

Owen silently watched her. He wished she would be jealous.

She knew him really well.

With that thought, Owen felt a little better.

Seeing Mr. Martinez's expression, Jay knew that Mrs. Martinez's word was the final say and quietly withdrew.
