Chapter 37


    "Stefan." That was all Lucinda managed to say before she had no chance to speak anymore.


    The night was still young.


    The next day.


    A heavy downpour had washed the earth clean. By the time the sky was fully lit, the rain had


    stopped. Lucinda felt a bit chilly and instinctively moved closer to the warmth next to her.


    A pair of strong arms held her tightly. She smelled a scent that was both familiar and strange.


    It was Stefan''s!


    Suddenly, Lucinda came to her senses, her eyes shot open to find herself warming up in Stefan''s


    arms. She was immediately panicked, pushing Stefan away and rolling under the bed.


    "Thump!"


    She identally fell onto the floor.


    "Lucy."


    Stefan awakened, quickly sat up, and saw her sitting on the floor. He jumped out of bed, picked her


    up and put her back on the bed, covering her with a thin nket.


    Lucinda''s face was pale. She had confirmed one thing. Last night, she and Stefan had had sex.


    "Lucy."


    Seeing her clutching the nket tightly, Stefan bent down, kissed her on the face, and gently said,


    "Lucy, I''m sorry, I was too careless."


    He clung to her like a child.


    Lucinda''s face turned from white to red, she was so shy that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.


    "Stefan."


    His soft kiss fell on her lips, and Stefanforted her in a soft voice, "Call me hubby, Lucy, call me


    hubby."


    Lucinda pulled the nket up, covering herselfpletely. She still hadn''t recovered from the shock


    ofst night. What on earth was happening?


    "Lucy." Stefan tried to pull the nket away, "Don''t cover your head, you''ll feel stuffy."


    "Stefan, fetch me my clothes and then, you go out, I need to change." Lucinda said from under the


    nket.


    Stefan smiled, "Okay."


    Seemed like she was shy.


    He fetched her clothes, and as per her request, left the room to let her change. He went to prepare


    breakfast.


    "Knock, knock, knock."


    The sound of knocking on the door.


    Stefan, wearing an apron and holding a spat in his hand, rushed out, saying as he walked,


    "Who''s there?"


    Opening the door, he saw Ike''s face full of anger.


    "Ike, you''re here." Stefan was taken aback, then greeted him with a smile.


    Ike was provoked by his greeting. Furious, he grabbed Stefan''s cor and said sternly, "Stefan,


    what did you do to my sisterst night? You didn''t answer my calls, didn''t let me in, and made me


    wait outside all night. I was about to break in!"


    He had told his sister that he would be right over, but when he arrived, his sister''s door was tightly


    closed. He knocked and called, but she never opened the door.


    Lucinda had given him a key for free ess. But what was infuriating was that the door was locked


    from the inside.


    He had a key, but he couldn''t open the door.


    "Ike."


    Lucinda came out of the room, saw this scene, rushed over to protect Stefan, and let him hide


    behind her. She said to her brother, "We can talk, it''s not good to start fighting this early."


    When Ike saw the bruise below his sister''s neckline, he understood immediately.


    "Stefan!"


    This guy! After his sister discovered his true identity, he immediately became like a wolf, hurting his


    sister! Like a madman, Ike rushed up and hit Stefan.


    Stefan didn''t dodge.


    Lucinda wanted to stop it but was pushed away by her brother.


    "Lucy, don''t worry about me, I''ll be fine."Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Two big men started fighting in the small house. In the end, both of them were lying on the bed in


    the house, their faces covered in bruises.


    Lucinda brought some medicine and applied it on her brother for a while, then to Stefan.


    "Stefan, you bastard!" Ike, lying on the bed and gasping for breath, angrily kicked Stefan who was


    next to him.


    Stefan calmly responded, "Lucy and I are married, legally married."


    "Do you really have feelings for each other? What you''re doing is hurting Lucy."


    "Who said we don''t have feelings for each other? I''ve known Lucy for eleven years, and I''ve waited


    for her to grow up for eleven years. She''s my best friend. I''ve been waiting for her."


    Last night he finally got his wish. She was as sweet as a ripe fruit! The eleven years wait was not in


    vain.


    Ascend Estate.


    Under the shade of the trees, Patrick held his wife''s hand, and the two of them leisurely strolled in


    the backyard.


    "Savannah, Stefan hasn''t been home for a while."


    Savannah replied, "Thepany is so big and there''s so much to do. As the person in charge,


    Stefan must be very busy, maybe he doesn''t have time toe home."


    Patrick smiled, "You''re still so protective of him."


    "What do you want me to say, scold him?"


    "He got married secretly without telling us. If he hadn''t brought his wife to the partyst night, we


    would still be in the dark."


    Savannahughed, "I think, Stefan must have his difficulties. His wife probably doesn''t know


    Stefan''s real identity, right? Maybe that''s why Stefan kept it from us at first, afraid we would go find


    his wife and scare her."


    "Don''t you want to meet her?"


    "You old rascal, you want me to do this again. Every time it''s like this, you want to know Stefan''s


    private affairs, it''s always me who has to go. Do you think I don''t care about my dignity?"


    Patrickughed and said, "The person Stefan respects the most is you. Whatever you say to him,


    he will take it very seriously and aplish it. Just make a phone call, and we can wait at home for


    the couple toe."


    "Have you prepared a gift for the meeting?"


    "We have a lot of jewelry in our storeroom, we can pick out a few sets to give her as a gift for the


    meeting."


    Savannah replied, "Let''s pick out a few sets of jewelry to give her as a gift for the meeting then.


    After all, those jewels are meant for the wives of the Anderson family."


    "By the way, what''s her name?"


    The olddy pondered for a bit and replied, "Well, I heard that her name''s Lucinda, sister of Stefan''s


    college buddy, Ike. But she isn’t a blood rtive of the Moore family. Rather she was an abandoned


    baby they took in. However, Lucinda herself hasn''t got a clue about this."


    Well, you know, folks like them, with a bit of dough, had already dug up part of Lucinda''s past.


    However, the full story about Lucinda''s background still wasn’t clear. We couldn’t be sure if Lucinda


    was dumped on purpose or by ident. Were her real parents still alive? And where were they?
