Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 63

"Whether Stefan's parents like me or not, it doesn't faze me. After all, I'm not spending my life with them; as long as Stefan digs me, that's all that matters. Besides, I'm not that bad a person."

Lucinda didn't think she was any less than Stefan.

"Ah well, forget I said anything."

Ike understood his beloved sister now belonged to Stefan. That guy swept her off her feet in no time.

About ten minutes later.

Ike's car stopped at the entrance of the apartment complex.

"Ike, you wait here, I'll go in and change and be right back."

Ike responded, "No rush, take your sweet time, let Stefan hang tight a bit. Lucinda, you gotta make Stefan follow the rules you laid down in your novel about men respecting women."

"He was your mate for four years at university, how can you not stand him?"

Ike smirked, "He stole my sister without a peep, and I've yet to give him a piece of my mind, what else do you want me to do?"

"It's me who hired Stefan as my husband, I give him 500 bucks a month for rent, including food, accommodation and clothing."

Ike waved his hand, urging his sister, "Get out of the car and go change. You’re about to drive me up the wall. Let me chill for a bit."

Lucinda got out of the car on her own. She turned to leave.

"Lucinda."

A strange call came. Lucinda turned around to look for the source of the sound. She saw a strange woman coming out of a BMW in front. The woman was dressed in famous brands from head to toe, strutting over arrogantly.

Who was this? Could it be Stefan's suitor?

Ike had the same thought, he immediately got out of the car and stood beside his sister, watching the woman approach. He whispered to his sister, "Lucy, who is she?"

"Don't know her."

"Lucinda."

The woman came to the siblings, she first took a glance at Lucinda, then said in an emotionless tone, "Young and pretty. Even in men's clothes your feminine grace isn’t hidden, but rather, it adds some coolness. You really can catch one's eye, even if you only meet once, it would be hard to forget you."

Lucinda calmly asked, "Who are you?"

"I am George's wife."

Lucinda's eyes flickered, her expression unchanged, "So you're looking for me for something?"

Turns out, this was George's boss' niece. After George broke up with his wife, he married this woman.

Mrs. Mitchell looked at Ike, then said to Lucinda, "Lucinda, can we talk privately?"

Before Lucinda could answer, she continued, "I know your coffee shop is not far from here."
