Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 86

After eating ice cream, Stefan said cheerily, "With your weight, I could cycle you around the city ten times without getting tired."

"You're really fit."

Stefan replied subtly, "Well, you know my body best."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lucinda gave him a pinch on the waist.

"Honey, please. I'm trying to cycle here."

Lucinda said, "... I just pinched you lightly."

"Well, that's a sensitive spot for me."

"Fine, next time you piss me off, I'll pinch your waist."

Stefan laughed, "I'll only make you happy, not angry."

"That's better."

Lucinda spooned him another mouthful of ice cream.

"Stefan."

"If you call me darling, I'd be more energized and cycle faster."

Lucinda laughed, asking him, "Do you find it tiring to be with me? Look at you, the prestigious CEO of Ascend Global and the son of the Anderson family. You usually ride in luxury cars. But when you're with me, I have you cycling me around."

"All I need is to be with you, even if it means walking, I'm happy."

"Our lifestyles are quite different."

"If you enjoy simple life, I'll live a simple life with you. What difference? I've been through hard times too."

He had experienced poverty on his way up.

His grandfather once said that if they hadn't been poor, they wouldn't appreciate what they have now.

In the family training base, the Anderson kids, spent their days studying and living independently. They cooked what they wanted to eat, and bought what they wanted with their own money. If they didn't have money, they went hungry.

Lucinda asked curiously, "Was your family training base really that strict?"

"Actually, it's just a secluded island. Once you get used to living there, you might not even want to leave, it's quite fun."

"When will you take me there?"

Stefan laughed, "Sure, anytime you want, I'll take you."

They arrived at Central Park, surrounded by evergreen trees.

"It's been ages since I was last in a park."

"I'll bring you here whenever we have time."

He would try his best to give her the love journey she desired.

"Okay."

Lucinda wrapped her arms around Stefan's waist from behind.

Looking at the scenery on both sides, feeling the cool breeze, she was in a very good mood.

Since they were in the park, they must have a good time.

Stefan found a spot to park the bike, then took Lucinda by the hand and walked her around.

The park was teeming with couples on dates.

Stefan wanted to find a place to sit down and cuddle with his wife, but there were no empty spots.

With no other choice, he took Lucinda for a hike up the hill.

The hill they climbed had stairs, so all they had to do was climb the stairs.

But summer weather is unpredictable.

They were leisurely walking, but suddenly it started to rain.

The rain was heavy and sudden.

Most of the visitors sought shelter from the rain, and few had brought umbrellas.

Luckily, Stefan reacted quickly. Before the rain started, he ran with Lucinda to a pavilion.

"Lucy, here."
