Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 140

"Owen, what are you up to? Where are you?" After venting about Trenton, Olina felt a lot better, so she began to inquire about her son's whereabouts.

"What's this about your grandpa being wronged out there? What happened? Did Patrick Anderson mess with him?" Olina knew Trenton and Patrick were at odds; they were always at each other's throats whenever they met.

"Nah, actually, Grandpa made a friend while hiding his true identity. When the truth came out, his friend felt deceived and kicked him to the curb, no longer wanting to be friends with him. Grandpa's never been treated like that before, then he came home to find out you've gone against his wishes." Owen gave a rough summary.

"There are actually people who don't want to be friends with your grandpa?" Olina frowned when she thought about how Patrick and Trenton were never able to become friends, then said, "Owen, do your thing; I'm good. I'm gonna drop by the Scott family’s place and ask Megan to hang out."

She felt like she'd lost face in front of Megan and that she'd wronged her, so she planned to smooth things over with her when they met.

After all, she was the one who invited Megan to stay at the Martinez family's place, but then Trenton just showed up out of the blue, and after learning the reason, he got mad, so Megan had to move out.

"Knock yourself out." Owen said, and his mother hung up.

Soon, Cecilia walked in with two big bags of fast food. She placed two boxes in front of Owen, smiling as she said, "Mr. Martinez, you eat first. I'll take the rest to your bodyguards."

"Both boxes are mine? What about yours?" Owen asked.

Cecilia took out another box and placed it across from him, saying, "This is mine."

"You think I'm a pig or something; why are you giving me two portions?" Owen raised an eyebrow, complaining.

Cecilia replied, "No, one of yours is the main course, and the other is the side dish. Ours are all mixed." She ordered the most expensive dish for him and ordered two extra dishes, so she needed another big box for the sides.

He was the CEO of the Ikella Group and the heir to the Martinez family. The fact that he would eat the fast food she bought was already down-to-earth enough. She couldn't let him eat the cheapest fast food.

Owen didn't say another word.

Cecilia went outside with the bag and gave the rest of the food to the Martinez family's bodyguards. Since they were all men, Cecilia had asked the restaurant owner to add more main dishes.

"If you guys are still hungry, I can get you another portion." Cecilia said.

"We're good. Thank you, Ms. Yates." The Martinez family's bodyguards were very polite to Cecilia.

They had been with Owen for many years and knew that the only woman Owen would help was Ms. Scott. Now that Cecilia could also get Owen's help, it showed that she held a special place in Owen's heart, so they were very polite to Cecilia.

Cecilia went back into the restaurant and brought out several bottles of water for the bodyguards, then she went back inside to eat.

Owen reluctantly started eating.

Cecilia knew he probably wasn't used to this kind of food.

"How's the taste?" Cecilia asked as she opened her lunchbox.

"The food from this restaurant is the best. Others aren't as good, and the dishes they make are not as good as the ones Lucinda and I make."

"Eating alone is kind of boring." Owen said nonchalantly.

Cecilia gave a faint response and asked him, "Do you want me to invite your bodyguards in to eat with you?"

Owen glared at her, and Cecilia fell silent.

Wouldn't it be more fun to invite the bodyguards in so more people could be around than him eating alone?

Did she say something wrong?

Well, she'll just eat her food.

There was no point in talking too much; it was better to eat first.

While she was worried about Lucinda, Cecilia didn't feel hungry. Now that she knew Lucinda was okay, she felt hungry as soon as her nerves relaxed.

Cecilia ate very happily.

Seeing her eat so happily made Owen also start to eat slowly, and as he ate, he found the food to be quite delicious.
