Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 128

After leaving Pinehurst Hotel, Cecilia immediately called her friend.

When Lucinda picked up, Cecilia vented out her frustrations.

After hearing Cecilia's rant, Lucinda asked in surprise, "Are you telling me Owen's grandpa and your grandpa became friends and they set you and Owen up?"

What's going on?

"Lucy, you're shocked too, right? I never imagined I'd be set up with that annoying Owen. He even thought I was sucking up to his grandpa so that he'd force Owen into a date with me, how ridiculous!"

"I'd rather stay single than marry him, a man who's heart is with another woman, only a fool would marry him."

Despite being surprised, Lucinda still asked out of curiosity, "So, how did it go when you two met?"

"There's nothing much to say, I purposely wore ugly makeup and he intentionally made weird faces. I was afraid he might start liking me, and he was afraid I might start liking him, so in the end, both of us didn't develop any feelings."

Lucinda burst into laughter.

Cecilia said, "Lucy, are you gloating over my misfortune?"

"No, I just find the thing between you and Owen amusing."

"I don't want anything to do with him. Lucy, where are you right now? Wanna hang out? Let's grab a drink together."

Feeling bummed about the Owen situation, Cecilia wanted some company to drink and vent.

"I'm at Ascend Estate, Stefan's place. I'm hanging out with him right now, so I might not be able to join you."

Cecilia retorted, "You've got a husband now and care less about your friend."

Without hesitation, Lucinda replied, "Of course, I prioritize my husband over my friend. You won't be spending your life with me. When you get married, you'll only have eyes for your husband and kids, would you still care about me? Stefan, on the other hand, will be with me for life."

"You don't care about me anymore!"

Other than repeating this, Cecilia didn't know what else to say.

Lucinda's words were cold, but realistic.

A husband would be with her for life, while friends, no matter how close, all have their own families, and can't possibly put her first.

"Fine, carry on with Stefan. I'll pass on the drinks too, I'll just get some beers and drink at home. By the way, I heard Ascend Estate is beautiful, is it true?"

Cecilia asked curiously.

In the past, hearing about the mystery and beauty of Ascend Estate, Cecilia never had the luxury to visit. But now that her best friend has become the lady of the Anderson family, Cecilia couldn't help but be curious and wanted to visit Ascend Estate.

"Yes, it is beautiful. One day, I'll invite you over and show you around for a few days."

Cecilia grinned and said, "I'll wait for your invitation then."

Lucinda chuckled, "Okay! When Stefan and I have our wedding, you'll have to be my bridesmaid."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be your bridesmaid. Lucy, I won't interrupt your sweet time with Stefan anymore, bye."

"We'll meet in two days."

Lucinda's shop needed some tidying up, both Cecilia and Lucinda were shop owners and had to visit the shop often, they couldn't be irresponsible owners.

After hanging up, the man beside Lucinda asked, "Cecilia and Owen are going on a blind date?"

Lucinda nodded, "Cecilia said it was arranged by Owen's grandpa, Stefan, do you think there might be any hidden motives?"
