"Was Cecilia wanting to divorce you? Or did the Yates family discover your little secret and demand Cecilia to break it off with you?"
Owen's handsome face flushed a bit, but he nodded nonetheless.
Well, wasn't this just the chickens coming home to roost?
He had deliberately spilled the beans about Stefan's true identity back then, almost causing Stefan's marriage to hit the rocks.
And now, he found himself seeking Stefan's help.
"Serves you right."
"Yeah, I know I had it coming. I shouldn't have messed with you like that, Stefan. How did you fix this when it happened to you?"
"Got through it somehow."
"How did you get through it?"
"My journey wasn't something you can replicate."
Owen wasn't ready to give up, "Why can't I? Back then, Lucinda's real identity wasn't exposed either. The status of the Moore family wasn't matching with yours, the Andersons. But your family didn't object. I bet your elders are all open-minded. That's one thing I envy you for. Did your mother-in-law ask for a divorce, too? How did you convince her to accept and approve of you? Stefan, share your wisdom with me. I'll pay you. Consider it as a consultation fee."
"I charge an arm and a leg."
"Name your price. I'll pay up."
Stefan thought momentarily, "I'm not sure how much I should charge you. I'll discuss it with my wife and then get back to you. You can pay me then."
Finally, he added, "At our home, my wife called the shots."
Owen silently accepted this fact.
He was desperate, his love life in turmoil, and he had to watch Stefan flaunting his happy life.
He was angry but had nowhere to vent.
"Owen, I told you the path Lucy and I took can't be copied by you and Cecilia. For one, Lucy and I have known each other for eleven years. Also, we became a real couple soon after we got married. Do you dare to get intimate with Cecilia?"
