Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 121

"Stefan, I'm your brother, what's the big deal if I eat some of your breakfast?"

Stefan snorted, "But if you eat, what's left for Lucinda? You have a huge appetite, and there's not that much food here. You'll finish it all."

Campbell replied, "I don’t really have a big appetite."

Looking at the breakfast on the table, indeed, there wasn't much of anything. Definitely not enough for him .

As Lucinda listened to their conversation, she just wanted to cover her face.

Her husband was being such a penny pincher.

She quickly said, "Campbell, I can’t eat that much, don’t listen to Stefan, eat if you want to."

Campbell didn't hold back, "At least Lucinda is generous, not like Stefan, such a cheapskate. Whenever I eat his food, it's like I owe him a fortune."

"If you owed me a fortune, I wouldn't even bother giving you a reaction."

Campbell chuckled while eating, "True, you're not short on money. A fortune is nothing to you."

"Then what is it?"

Campbell just laughed and didn't reply.

"Stefan, Stefan."

There was a call from outside.

Lucinda looked towards the sound, curious about who was coming in.

The man beside her was already looking quite annoyed.

Patrick and Savannah, despite their age, knew to give them space and not disturb Stefan and Lucinda's alone time, but his brothers just kept coming to interrupt.

He had already told everyone that he would bring Lucinda back on the weekend.

His brothers didn't come back last night, but they're all here today.

"Stefan, the water lilies in the pond are beautiful right now, let's go sit by the pond."

The boy who came in was probably seventeen or eighteen, quite handsome with great skin. Because of his youth, Lucinda thought he was still a junior high student.

"Oh, Campbell, you're here too."

The youngest boy of the Anderson family, Judson Anderson, came over, patted Campbell on the shoulder, and turned to Lucinda. He was young and inexperienced, and when he saw Lucinda in person, he exclaimed, "Wow, you're gorgeous! Even beautiful flowers can't compare to you.”

Everyone likes to hear compliments.

Lucinda was flattered and immediately smiled, asking him, "Have you had breakfast? Want to join us?"

"Yeah, sure."

Judson agreed, pulled out a chair to sit down, but when he casually glanced across the table and saw Stefan glaring at him, he quickly pushed the chair back to its original position and said to Lucinda, "Mrs. Coleman, I've already eaten, you two take your time."

"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Coleman, I'm Judson, just graduated from high school. I'll be starting college after the summer."

So he's the youngest grandson of the Anderson family.

"What are you here for?"

Stefan asked with a stern face.

"Stefan, I already told you when I came in, I want to invite you and Mrs. Coleman to see the water lilies, and we can also pick some ripe fruits for juice."

"I thought you didn't like sweet things? And now you're making fruit juice?"

Stefan bluntly exposed Judson's lie.

Judson just laughed.

Even though Stefan was still sitting calmly, no matter how bad his face looked, Judson couldn't tell.

Judson thought to himself, he was still too young.

Seeing Stefan angry, he got scared.

But with Campbell here, even if Stefan was angry, he wasn't the only one being scolded.

Thinking this, Judson quietly sat next to Campbell again.

"Mrs. Coleman, this is your first time here, later you should let Stefan show you around, familiarize yourself with the place. That way you won't get lost in the future."

The Ascend Estate is very big, newcomers can easily get lost.

Stefan scolded, "Judson, even if you don’t speak up, no one will think you're mute. Lucinda has me, she doesn't need you to remind me what I should do."

"Stefan, if I don't speak, I'm afraid people will think I am mute."

Judson muttered.
