Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 267

He called several times before Cecilia finally picked up.

Cecilia teased, "Decided to turn your phone on, finally?"

"Cecilia, I'm out of gas, what should I do?"

"Out of gas? Haha, even God's fed up with you. Who told you to go to such a remote place? You were asking for trouble!"

Owen retorted, "Can you save the mockery for later? Come pick me up first."

"I'm too far away, I can't come back for you. What if I run out of gas too? Your phone's still working, right? Call your bodyguards, let them come and get you. Mr. Martinez needs to maintain his image, you can't just sneak back to town, you need to do it in style - bang!"

Owen's face changed dramatically, he shouted, "Cecilia, what happened? Are you okay? Did you have a car accident? How did you get your driver's license?"

Cecilia had indeed hit a tree by the roadside.

But fortunately, she was okay.

The front of the car was a bit deformed, but it could still be driven back to town.

After checking the car, Cecilia responded to Owen on the phone, who was already starting to run forward in worry, "I got my driver's license fair and square. It's because you distracted me that I hit the tree. Owen, this car belongs to your family, and I crashed it."

"As long as you're okay, it doesn't matter if the car is damaged or not. We have many cars in our garage, you won't be asked to pay for the repairs."

"That's a relief."

Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief.

The car she was driving was a luxury car, and the repair cost for such a crash would be high. She could afford it, but it would be a bit uncomfortable even for her.

"Are you running?"

"No!"

Owen denied being scared to death by the "bang".

If something happened to Cecilia because of him.

Well, he hadn't figured out what he would do yet!

He would let everyone know when he figured it out.

"Alright, it's fine, you can go back. I'll call my bodyguards to come and get me."

Cecilia hung up the phone.

Owen moved his phone away from his ear, seeing that she had hung up, he suddenly felt a void in his heart.

He muttered to himself, "She really hung up, she doesn't care about me at all!"

Ten minutes later.

Owen sat in the passenger seat, looking at the night view outside the window, a smile never leaving his face.

He was afraid Cecilia would see, so he kept looking out the window.

Serendipity Cafe.

As soon as Stefan's car stopped, Lucinda jumped out and walked quickly into the coffee shop.

"Welcome! Lucy?"

Janice thought a customer was coming in, ready to say welcome. But then she saw it was her daughter and corrected herself.

"Mom."

Lucinda called out to Mom twice.

Both moms responded to her.

Fiona walked over to her first and asked softly, "Did everyone leave?"

"The rest of the tribesmen left in the evening, my father and the two ladies from the Blue family haven't left yet."

Lucinda then asked, "Mom, where's Cecilia?"

Fiona replied, "Owen left the company this morning, we don't know what happened. No one knows where he went, and his phone was off. His grandfather was very worried about him, so he sent people to look for him and asked Cecilia for help. Cecilia went out to help find him. I called her just now; she informed me that she found Owen and is on the way back to town."
