Chapter 114


    Patrick nced over and said nonchntly, "Are you here today to check out Lucinda''s


    background?"


    "Patrick, that''s not what I meant. I''m just curious. Stefan has never had a girlfriend, and then out of


    the blue he''s married. I’m so curious, of course. After all, Ruby has had a thing for Stefan for


    years..."


    Megan didn''t finish that sentence.


    She thought Stefan Coleman would be her son-inw.


    But some no-name chick swiped him.


    This Lucinda girl was only 24, a few years younger than her daughter.


    She got Lucinda''s info from Olina, saw her photos. The girl''s got a pretty face, her family was not


    very wealthy, but she had an outstanding temperament. If you said Lucinda was a rich girl, no one


    would doubt it.


    "There are plenty of people who like Stefan." Patrick retorted coldly.


    Megan was speechless.


    Indeed, there were a lot of people who like Stefan. Just none as lucky as Lucinda, who easily


    became Stefan''s wife.


    "Megan, anything else? If not, you can take off. I need to go check on my flowers."


    Patrick finished, stood up, then left Megan.


    He also called for the butler, told him to see the guest out.


    Seeing him heading out, the butler quickly fetched a hat for him, saying, "My lord, the sun is strong.


    Wear a hat."


    "Mmm."


    Patrick took the hat, put it on, went out of the main house. He pick up a hoe from the tool rack by


    the door, hoisted it onto his shoulder. His whole demeanor changed instantly.


    The Anderson family servants were used to this.


    Patrick took care of the garden or orchard every day, did some physical exercises. Despite his age,


    his health was better than many young people''s.


    Patrick had left, it''s not appropriate for Megan to stay.


    She picked up her bag, then her car keys, and was about to leave.


    "Megan Scott, Patrick said, take back everything you brought."


    The butler reminded Megan to take her stuff.


    "These are gifts for Patrick and Savannah Blue Anderson. I can''t take them back."


    Butler Nelson walked over, picked up all the gifts Megan brought, handed them to Megan, saying,


    "Megan, if Patrick says he''s not epting, he means it. If you don''t take them back, Patrick will just


    throw them in the trash when he gets back. You know how he is."


    Megan reluctantly epted the things, took back everything she brought.


    Stefan''s personality, like Patrick''s, was indifferent.


    Megan sighed and left the Ascend Estate helplessly.


    Stefan and Lucinda stayed with the Moore family for two days, then Fiona Lewis Moore kicked them


    out.


    She knew her daughter originally agreed to go home with Stefan on Sunday.


    Driver Noah came to pick up Stefan and Lucinda.


    On the way home, Lucinda told her husband, "I feel like I was kicked out like unwanted water. My


    mom practically wanted to chase me out with a broom."


    Stefanughed, took her hand, pulled her into his arms, promises, "Whenever we have time, I''ll


    come back with you."


    When they got back to town, he nned to personally pick out a house, buy a vi for Lucinda''s


    parents. That way, it''s easier for Lucinda to go home.


    Just not sure if the Moore family was willing to move to town.


    They had their own things to deal with, moving to town may inconvenience them in taking care of


    their orchard.


    Stefan figured, the house definitely needs to be given.


    When Lucinda''s mother came, they should feel morefortable in their own house. "It''s getting


    dark, they didn''t even keep us for dinner."


    Stefanughed, "I''ve already let Nelson know. There will be hot food waiting for us when we get


    home."


    "I specifically asked Nelson to tell the chef to cook a lot of your favorite dishes."


    Lucinda firstughed happily, then asked cautiously, "Will grandfather and grandmother think I''m


    picky? Or that I love to eat meat?"


    Stefan kissed her on the face, then whispered in her ear, "They''ll be happy to see you enjoy meat.


    They were very pleased with your appetite that night we had dinner together."


    Lucinda was speechless.


    She remembered that night, she ate quite a bit.


    "My grandparents don''t like girls who eat a little bit and say they''re full. Their generation believes


    ''eating well is a kind of happiness''."


    Lucinda said, "My grandparents have the same idea."


    She''s been instilled with the concept that eating well is a kind of happiness since she was little. This


    resulted in her being a good eater. Luckily, she exercises and her metabolism is good, so she


    doesn''t gain weight easily, so she didn''t be fat.


    Stefan wrapped his arm around her shoulder, whispered, "There''s still some way to go. You sleep a


    bit first. I''ll wake you up when we get home."


    Lucinda yawned, leaned into his arms, said, "Remember to wake me up when we get there. This is


    my first real visit to your family."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll wake you up."


    Lucinda peacefully fell asleep in her husband''s arms.


    Watching her slept peacefully in his arms, Stefan''s eyes were soft. He couldn''t help it, lowered his


    head, then kissed Lucinda on the forehead.


    Then, he took out his phone, called Nelson.


    Once Nelson picked up, he asked gravely, "Nelson, the thing I asked you to do a few days ago, is it


    taken care of?"


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Nelson said with a grin, "Mr. Coleman, don''t sweat it, everything''s taken care of."


    "Those who''ve been helping catch fireflies, they''ll get double their usual bonus this month."


    Nelsonughed, "Alright, I''ll pass on your words. They''ll be thrilled."


    "Mr. Coleman, when can you and Mrs. Coleman be home?"


    Stefan nced at the time and replied, "Around sevenish. Tell the grandparents to start dinner


    without us."


    Dinner for the Anderson family was usually at six o ''clock in the evening. Nelson added, "Patrick


    said they''d wait for you and Mrs. Coleman for dinner. At this time of year, it''s notpletely dark yet


    at seven."


    It''s the season of bountiful harvest in the orchard.


    Everyone''s up to their ears in picking fruits.


    The vast flower fields at the foot of the mountain have also received a truckload of orders. They''re


    gearing up to ship out a huge batch of goods tomorrow. Just as swamped.


    "Alright."


    Once grandpa said that, Stefan didn''t push anymore.


    "Remember to tell the chef to cook extra dishes Mrs. Coleman likes."


    Stefan didn''t know how many times he had reminded Nelson of this already.


    Nelson chuckled, "No need for more reminders, Savannah''s already given a heads up a few times."


    Stefan''s fondness for Lucinda was noticed by the elders in the house. They cared about her


    because he did.


    Honestly, Nelson was quite curious about Mrs. Coleman, whom he hadn''t met yet.
