Patrick glanced over and said nonchalantly, "Are you here today to check out Lucinda's background?"
"Patrick, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious. Stefan has never had a girlfriend, and then out of the blue he's married. I’m so curious, of course. After all, Ruby has had a thing for Stefan for years..."
Megan didn't finish that sentence.
She thought Stefan Coleman would be her son-in-law.
But some no-name chick swiped him.
This Lucinda girl was only 24, a few years younger than her daughter.
She got Lucinda's info from Olina, saw her photos. The girl's got a pretty face, her family was not very wealthy, but she had an outstanding temperament. If you said Lucinda was a rich girl, no one would doubt it.
"There are plenty of people who like Stefan." Patrick retorted coldly.
Megan was speechless.
Indeed, there were a lot of people who like Stefan. Just none as lucky as Lucinda, who easily became Stefan's wife.
"Megan, anything else? If not, you can take off. I need to go check on my flowers."
Patrick finished, stood up, then left Megan.
He also called for the butler, told him to see the guest out.
Seeing him heading out, the butler quickly fetched a hat for him, saying, "My lord, the sun is strong. Wear a hat."
"Mmm."
Patrick took the hat, put it on, went out of the main house. He pick up a hoe from the tool rack by the door, hoisted it onto his shoulder. His whole demeanor changed instantly.
The Anderson family servants were used to this.
Patrick took care of the garden or orchard every day, did some physical exercises. Despite his age, his health was better than many young people's.
Patrick had left, it's not appropriate for Megan to stay.
She picked up her bag, then her car keys, and was about to leave.
"Megan Scott, Patrick said, take back everything you brought."
The butler reminded Megan to take her stuff.
"These are gifts for Patrick and Savannah Blue Anderson. I can't take them back."
Butler Nelson walked over, picked up all the gifts Megan brought, handed them to Megan, saying, "Megan, if Patrick says he's not accepting, he means it. If you don't take them back, Patrick will just throw them in the trash when he gets back. You know how he is."
Megan reluctantly accepted the things, took back everything she brought.
Stefan's personality, like Patrick's, was indifferent.
Megan sighed and left the Ascend Estate helplessly.
Stefan and Lucinda stayed with the Moore family for two days, then Fiona Lewis Moore kicked them out.
She knew her daughter originally agreed to go home with Stefan on Sunday.
Driver Noah came to pick up Stefan and Lucinda.
On the way home, Lucinda told her husband, "I feel like I was kicked out like unwanted water. My mom practically wanted to chase me out with a broom."
Stefan laughed, took her hand, pulled her into his arms, promises, "Whenever we have time, I'll come back with you."
When they got back to town, he planned to personally pick out a house, buy a villa for Lucinda's parents. That way, it's easier for Lucinda to go home.
Just not sure if the Moore family was willing to move to town.
