Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 332

Stefan watched his rival in silence for a moment before saying, "You've already made up your mind, so why are you here bothering me?"

"I just needed someone to vent to. Both of our marriages are contract-based so I figure we can relate to that."

Owen was seriously getting on his nerves.

Given Owen's character, if he truly wanted to spend his life with Cecilia, he wouldn't agree to a divorce. But he couldn't just stand by and watch Cecilia get hit by her mother, even if it was all an act. What if she really hit Cecilia?

If Cecilia got hurt, it would torment him.

Stefan chuckled, "The path I and Lucy took can't be replicated by you and Cecilia."

Owen paused.

"Stefan, you were lucky dude. What others can’t get, you got without batting an eye, status, look, and even love. You have it way easier than the rest of us."

Life was unfair to everyone.

"You're not doing so bad yourself. Your love troubles are born from your own stubbornness. You never listen to advice until it's too late. If you'd listened, you might have had a kid by now.”

At the mention of a child, a flash passed through Owen’s eyes. He asked Stefan, "You and Lucinda have been married for a while now. When are you planning to have the wedding? When are you planning to have a kid? Can I call dibs on being the godfather?"

"Owen, have you forgotten our history? Do you want to be my kid's godfather? Being a godfather wasn't as simple as just calling yourself one."

Owen laughed, "Even though we're always at odds, we don't really hate each other. If push comes to shove, I'd help you out, and you wouldn't ignore me either. What's wrong with me being your kid's godfather? Given your wife's relationship with Cecilia, Cecilia was bound to be the godmother. So, the godfather has to be me!"

Owen was adamant, and he was determined to be with Cecilia.

"Don't worry, I won't shortchange your kid. If it's a girl, I'll prepare a generous gift for her when she gets married. If it's a boy, I'll gift him a villa and a luxury car when he gets married. They won't be calling me godfather for nothing."

Stefan couldn’t help but laugh, "You're pulling out all the stops for Cecilia. Owen, you're rather emotional, aren't you? Alright, in a few years, when I have a kid, they can call you godfather."

"In a few years? You're not planning on having kids soon?" Owen asked, his tone suggestive.

"Don't talk about me being emotional. You're the same when it comes to your wife, Lucinda. You're reckless when it came to her. Stefan, you finally have a weak spot. If I wanted to take you down."

Owen stopped there. He remembered Lucinda's true identity. She was an heiress of the Blue family, and he had witnessed the Blue family's influence firsthand.

If he dared to harm Lucinda, not only would he antagonize both the Anderson and Blue families, but Cecilia would also stop him.

"Lucy plans on returning to Skywatch to take over the family business. We're not planning on having kids anytime soon. You better start saving up. When my wife and I eventually have kids, you can gift us some villas.”

Owen, "How many kids are you planning on having?"

"As for how many kids we're having, we haven't decided yet. You just need to have your money ready."

Owen was speechless.

Was Stefan planning on making money off him by having kids?

Nevertheless, he got the answer he wanted and already had a plan in mind.

In the next two years, he would pursue Cecilia, make her his wife again, and then they'd have a child early. Then, he could surpass Stefan.

Thinking of this, he was ecstatic.
