Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 244

Lucinda shot Janice a quick glance and muttered, "I'll be right there."

"Good. You better bring your bodyguards along, just to be safe."

Even though Lucinda wasn’t a Moore by blood, she was now Mrs. Coleman. Some people might have had the nerve to impersonate her.

"My brother’s back, so I’ll have him tag along. Oh, and Cecilia, I’ve got some great news. Mom’s fully awake now. She remembers the past and recognizes both me and my brother."

Cecilia lit up instantly, congratulating her friend over the phone.

Janice had been mentally ill after losing her daughter. But after finding her daughter, she was gradually recovering.

Lucinda was eager to check out the visitor at the shop, who could be her biological father, so she didn’t chat with Cecilia for too long.

Her biological father had come, but Lucinda hadn’t told Janice yet. She wasn't sure how her mother would handle that shameless man.

In the Serendipity Cafe, Nathan Blue was sitting alone in a corner. He had ordered a cup of coffee and some pastries, which were then in front of him. He wanted to see if his daughter's shop served good food.

Cecilia was busy serving other customers, so she didn’t disturb him.

He watched quietly as customers trickled in, found their spots, ordered their favorite coffee or some snacks, while slowly savoring their drinks, reading newspapers from the rack, or playing on their phones.

Some came with friends and chatted in low voices.

Sitting there, listening to the soothing music, and watching people lazily enjoy their coffee, Nathan found this kind of life quite relaxing.

He had never lived such a laid-back life before.

His life had always been filled with scheming. Even at home, he was on guard, fearing being fooled by others.

As the day grew warmer and time ticked away, it was almost noon.

Lucinda and Keith walked in with two bodyguards.

"Lucy, Keith."

Cecilia greeted them. She glanced at Nathan in the corner and told Lucinda and Keith, "That's the guy."

Lucinda looked at Nathan in the corner.

When Nathan saw his children walk in, he couldn't help but stand up. He stared at Lucinda, all nerves again.

Without asking, Lucinda knew that it was her biological father.

They stared at each other, neither taking the first step.

Keith was the first to move. Seeing his father, he walked over quickly, somewhat agitated. "Dad, why did you come alone?"

It was too risky.

Nathan pushed him aside a bit because he was blocking his view of his daughter.

Lucinda walked over.

As the distance between father and daughter shortened, Nathan looked more excited. His face was smiling, but his eyes were reddened. After a while, he trembled and said softly, "Lucy."

Lucinda's lips quivered as she tried to call him "Dad," but she stopped.

"Lucy, I am your father." Nathan said softly again, "Since your brother left, I've not been able to sleep or eat. I couldn't help but come see you."

Lucinda looked at him quietly.

When she saw her biological mother, she was very emotional.

But facing her biological father, she felt very complicated.

Thinking about what her mother and brother had gone through, she felt resentment towards that man.

But he was still her biological father.

"Lucy, are... are you okay?"

Nathan was still careful, smiling as he spoke.

"Lucy, he is indeed our father." Keith said softly.
