Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 394

Stefan cast a sidelong glance at her. Truth be told, he wished they could get married sooner.

But the Blue family wasn't ready.

Lucinda hadn't officially rejoined the Blue family, and so, the wedding plans were put on hold.

However, he had asked his grandmother to check the calendar. There were no auspicious dates suitable for him and Lucy to tie the knot this year.

He didn't believe in fortune-telling, but marriage was a lifetime commitment. He wanted to choose the best day for it.

“I really don't mind.”

Lucinda rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, “Darling, let's take a walk.”

“Okay.”

The young couple slipped away.

They strolled down the mountain path while the workers at the foot of the mountain were still bustling around.

"What was your brother's reaction after meeting Ms. Darlene?"

Stefan asked concernedly.

Lucinda was playing matchmaker for her two brothers, and the girls she had picked were the Belinda sisters. She had a good eye for this.

When Lucinda mentioned this, she sighed heavily, “Darlene is incredibly beautiful and has a great personality. I’m a woman, and even I can't help but admire her. However, my brother just looks up at the sky or gazes around, showing no particular interest in Darlene. He even glared at Darlene a few times. It's only because Darlene is brave that she wasn't scared off by his icy demeanor.”

Stefan chuckled, “Don't worry. Your brother probably isn't thinking about marriage right now. Give it time. They might hit it off. If they're not a good match, we can arrange someone else for your brother.”

“My brother is so tired.”

Lucinda felt sorry for her brother.

“Dad's even more tired. Today, while you all were out shopping, I had a long talk with him.”

Stefan shared the details of his conversation with his father-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Lucinda's face fell. After a while, she said, “My mom can't completely ignore my dad. They used to be deeply in love, and they have Keith and me. But my mom can't let go of the past. Even though my dad had his reasons, two decades of neglect are hard to forget overnight.”

“Stefan, aren't you planning to invest in Skywatch?”

“Yeah.”

“I want to go back there sooner.”

After a moment of silence, Stefan said, “Okay. Give me two months.”

“Darling, thank you.”

“We're a couple, your matters are mine. You don't need to thank me like this.”

Lucinda wasn't just being polite. She was truly grateful for his support. If she hadn't met him, she would never have found her biological parents, let alone rejoin the Blue family.

“When I bought clothes for my dad, my mom picked them out. She still remembers his size. She mumbled that my dad's body shape has remained the same over two decades.”

“We don't need to force mom to forgive dad. When the time is right, we'll let them spend time together. They need to solve their own problems. We can only offer guidance. After all, they are your parents. It's a tough situation for both of them.”

Lucinda nodded.

She knew her father had been through a lot and she felt bad for him. She wished she could forgive him on her mother's behalf.
