Chapter 103


    "Stefan,e on, let''s eat." Vincent called out to Stefan in a jolly tone.


    The two old folks of the Moore family also warmly invited Stefan to join them.


    "Stefan, we''re all family here, no need to be all stiff and formal. You don''t have to bring so many


    gifts next time youe over." Vincent took the gifts from Stefan''s hands.


    Stefan chuckled and said, "I didn''t buy much, just some health supplements for grandpa and


    grandma, and some sleep aids for Fiona as I heard she has trouble sleeping."


    "Vincent, these two bottles of wine are for you."


    Of course, Stefan didn''t forget about Vincent.

    Even though Vincent verbally objected to Stefan spending so much money, his eyes gleamed at the


    sight of the wine bottles.


    Lucinda quickly reminded her father, "Dad, just have a little, don''t overdo it."


    "I know, I never drink too much."


    He loved his liquor, but never went overboard. He would drink moderately during meals, and a tad


    more when guests were over. All in all, he wasn''t a heavy drinker.


    Lucinda took Stefan to wash their hands. Soon, the family sat down to enjoy their dinner.


    During the meal, Lucinda worried that Stefan might not be used to their family''s vibe, so she took


    care of him and made sure he ate plenty. Stefan wasn''t picky. Whatever dish Lucinda served him,


    he ate. Even if Lucinda served him greens, he could taste the vors.


    The Moore family watched Lucinda keep serving Stefan food and were pretty much speechless. By


    now, everyone knew about Stefan''s status and position. Fiona had discussed this with Lucinda''s


    grandparents, hoping they could persuade Lucinda to break up with Stefan. But it seemed like her


    daughter and Stefan didn''t n on doing so.


    After the meal, Stefan offered to clean up. "Fiona, I got this, why don''t you go watch TV on the


    couch? I''ll take care of it."


    Stefan understood that Lucinda''s mother probably thought he was too rich and high-status to do


    household chores. He wanted to blend into the Moore family and reassure Lucinda''s mother,


    making her believe he could make Lucinda happy.


    If Lucinda married him, he absolutely wouldn''t let her suffer. He would definitely make Lucinda


    happy.


    "Stefan, we can''t let you do this. You''re the heir to the Anderson family, the CEO of Ascend Global.


    In our eyes, you shouldn''t be doing such things."


    Fiona tried to stop Stefan from doing the chores.


    Regardless of whether they would break up or not, she didn''t dare let him do housework after


    knowing his status.


    She then told her daughter, "Lucinda, you clean up and let Stefan chat with your dad."


    Lucinda instinctively said, "Mom, when we''re out, Stefan is the one who cooks, does the dishes,


    cleans the house, and all that jazz. He''s got the housework covered, don''t worry, he won''t break


    anything."


    Fiona was dumbfounded. Her daughter actually had the heir to the Anderson family doing all the


    household chores.


    Lucinda guided her mother to the couch, saying, "Mom, you''ve worked hard for us all your life. Now


    we can share the workload. You should rest a bit."


    Stefan immediately started cleaning up and preparing to do the dishes.


    Lucinda was in charge of tidying up the dining table.


    When Stefan walked into the kitchen, Fiona quietly said to her daughter, "Lucinda, Stefan has a


    special status. You can''t be unfair to him, always making him do things that don''t match his status."


    "Mom, actually, he''s doing this voluntarily. He just wants to show you his good side. Can''t you at


    least give him this chance?"


    Fiona was lost for words.


    Vincent also chimed in, "Lucy''s right. If Stefan wants to make an effort, you should give him a


    chance. See if he''s capable of giving your daughter a happy life."


    Fiona, "Lucy,e with me. Let''s talk outside."


    At this moment, Stefan was doing the dishes, so he couldn''t hear what Lucy and her mother were


    saying.


    Lucinda agreed and picked a bunch of cleaned grapes from the fruit te.


    The Moore family''s yard was not big, far from the size of Stefan''s private vi, let alone the Ascend


    Estate. Lucinda hadn''t been to the Ascend Estate yet, so she didn''t know how big it actually was.


    Fiona saw her daughter still remembered to bring snacks and couldn''t help but shake her head in


    exasperation. "Lucy, tell me, what are you thinking? Did you take what I saidst time to heart?"


    Lucinda ate a couple of grapes, finding them sweet and seedless, very convenient to eat. She


    picked one up and brought it to her mother''s mouth, saying, "Mom, these grapes are really sweet.


    Try one."


    Fiona took the grape and ate it.


    "Mom, Stefan and I have signed a marriage agreement, and I was the one who confessed to him


    first. Now our marriage is public knowledge, and everyone in the city knows we''re husband and


    wife. I''ve thought about it. I do have feelings for him, I even like him a lot. Since I confessed to him


    first, I should take responsibility. I want to be with him. No matter how big the gap between us is, or


    how many difficulties there will be in the future, I''m willing to take on the challenges and face all


    sorts of difficulties in life with him."


    Lucinda said this very seriously. This was her decision after much thought. She no longer


    considered divorcing Stefan. In her words, since she confessed to Stefan first, she would take


    responsibility for him till the end.


    Fiona cautioned her, "The Andersons are the richest family in town. You''re gonna be dealing with


    his kin, aren''t you worried you won''t handle it well?"


    "Rich folks have a ton of house rules. They might get their knickers in a twist if you want toe


    back home. They might worry you''re gonna take their stuff."


    Lucinda chuckled, "Mom, I ain''t scared. I wanna give it a shot. I believe I can handle it. From what I


    know about Stefan and his siblings and grandparents, they aren’t gonna think I''m pilfering just


    ''cause I go home. I wouldn''t do that. I can earn my own dough. If there is anything that our home


    needs, I''ll buy it with my money."


    "If they want you to y the housewife and quit your job, how will you handle it? You''re a free spirit.


    You can''t stand strict rules. Lucy, I am not trying to mess up your rtionship. I just think the gap


    between y''all is too big. I''m worried you''ll get ditched and end up heartbroken. You were down in the


    dumps over George for so long, you almost decided to swear off marriage and stay single."


    Lucinda, "Mom, George and Stefan are apples and oranges. And, there were other reasons George


    and I broke up. I admit, I was gutted when I first split with George, but I bounced back, didn''t I?


    Mentioning George now, I''m cool as a cucumber. I feel nothing, which means I''m totally over him."
