Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 336

"Let's get a move on and get in there before the workers clock out,"

Cecilia was thoughtful, having brought him water and a burger, but she didn't forget their objective for the day.

As Owen started to munch on the burger, she made a move to hook his arm, ready to guide him inside the city hall.

"I haven't finished my burger. I'm hungry, I have low blood sugar. When I'm hungry, I get shaky, and I won't be able to sign anything in that condition."

Owen was standing solid. Although Cecilia had some strength, she was no match for the skilled Owen.

In the past, Owen always gave way to Cecilia.

Cecilia was trying to pull him along, but he was too stiff, so she couldn't budge him.

"Can't you eat and walk at the same time?"

"No can do, it'd be embarrassing. I'm representing the Martinez family."

Cecilia was speechless.

They were right at the city hall entrance, yet she couldn't get him to go inside.

"Mr. Martinez, are you planning to wait until the workers clock out, so you won't have to go through the procedures?"

Owen, still munching on his burger, gave her a deep look, then honestly said, "Yes, I'm stalling. I actually don't want to divorce you."

He had reluctantly agreed to her mother's request to file for divorce the previous night.

As soon as he agreed, he regretted it.

Ever since he met Cecilia, it seemed like he made a lot of decisions he would regret.

"Cecilia, can we not divorce?"

Owen looked at her deeply, asking seriously.

"I know we got married because I owed you a favor. We even signed a contract; it was a contract marriage. I warned you not to fall in love with me. At that time, I was still in love with Ruby. It was my grandfather who forced me to marry you. But during our time together, I slowly accepted the role of a husband, really treating you as my wife. When you have troubles, I want to help you. Whatever you like, I want to buy it for you. Seeing you with that man, I get angry, uncomfortable; like it is jealousy. No, it's definitely jealousy!"

Upon hearing him mention 'that man', Cecilia curiously asked, "Who's the man you're talking about?"
