Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 52

Lucinda found herself wide awake, lost in her thoughts.

Since sleep eluded her, she decided to just get up.

On her bedside table lay a set of clean new clothes, prepared for her by Stefan before he went out.

All she had to do was reach out to get them; there was no need to even walk.

During the summer, Lucinda liked to wear short-sleeved t-shirts paired with black capris.

The clothes Stefan had prepared for her were chosen based on her preferences.

Lucinda got out of bed and took the clothes to his walk-in closet. Upon opening the doors, she found that half of the clothes inside were new women's clothing, all t-shirts and capris.

Clearly, they matched her taste.

When did he prepare so much clothing for her to change into?

How much preparation had he done while she was unaware?

Seeing the new clothes in the closet, Lucinda couldn't calm down for a long time.

Anyone who found out they had been deeply loved by a great man for ten years couldn't stay calm.

She spent a few minutes changing and freshening up, then went downstairs without any makeup on.

"Good morning, Miss Lucinda."

Emma was busy setting up breakfast downstairs. Seeing Lucinda come down, she greeted her with a smile, then went over to ask with concern, "How did you sleep last night, Miss Lucinda?"

Stefan was deeply affectionate towards Lucinda, but she didn't feel the same.

Emma could tell that Lucinda was passive and at a loss.

"Good morning, Emma."

Lucinda replied with a smile.

"Stefan is out for a morning run; he should be back soon. If you're hungry, you can eat something first."

As Emma said this, she led Lucinda into the dining room.

The breakfast prepared by the kitchen was very hearty.

"I'll wait for Stefan to come back before eating."

Lucinda said.

Eating alone always felt a bit off to her.

Emma laughed, saying, "Alright, would you like to look around? Stefan's study is quite nice; you can go have a look."

She didn't know that Stefan had already left a photo album in the study, silently confessing his feelings to Lucinda.

She wanted to lead Lucinda to the study to discover the photo album.

Lucinda wasn't stupid. Hearing Emma mention the study, she knew that Emma already knew about Stefan's feelings for her.

At this moment, Stefan returned from his run.

He was holding a bouquet of vibrant flowers.

"Mr. Stefan."

Emma called out respectfully.

Stefan handed the bouquet to Lucinda after he walked over. His eyes were gentle, and his lips curled into a smile. He looked affectionately at Lucinda, saying, "Our backyard has many flowers. I saw that they were blooming beautifully, so I picked some to make a bouquet for you. Lucinda, flowers suit beauty."

Emma quickly left.

She didn't want to be the third wheel here.

So Stefan could also say things like "flowers suit beauty".

Indeed, romantic words came naturally when there were feelings involved.

Stefan used to be very cold and taciturn, but that was because he wasn't facing the one he loved.

Lucinda accepted the bouquet, mostly roses of different colors.

"These flowers are beautiful."
